acious that he cannot reach higher point. Blu, lea
wing motives gu, Of the question. L., take brief
view Of his celebrated litter to the rmhcr. Of the
British and Foreign Anti Slavery Socstv dated Darv
rynnne Abbey, October 4,h, 1889. In this latter, Mr.
William Kennedy, who visited Texas las, sumner,
comes in for large share Of ab,ae.
He ssys:-"lt is necessary to awaken the best feel
ings Of the British na,ion in order to prevent the mis-
chiefs and miseries which from the es,ab
lishment Of another slave-holdng stac." Here is an
opsn avowal Of the British aholonists of interference
in tho concerns Of Texas, for the destruction of the
young republic bv attacking ts domestic institutions.
TIE mpudence Of this avowal is osly equnlled by the
blindness Of Mr.. OConne to the m:series and mis-
chief. Of the poor population in England and Ireland
What would he say, If purity in this country
hold this language in relation the further .ubjcction Of
the people Of India by British troops, and yet would
Of interference in what does
than this bsa intrusion Of English md Irish aboli
tionis,s in the affairs Of Texas.
After lnung tho -xsrtions Of the society in trying to
prevent the recognition Of Texas by England, Mr..
OConnel says -" The necessity for further excr,ion
is obvious AMI pressing. France has recognised these
pirates France, Mt whose humanity hos - ,f,.,
Ind to shude to be rockies of ali nr;,c;
ple and to calculate only OF sore ral,ry more on,l,
gain France has given its arbaric sanction 10 The
s'ence Of community fraught with so much crime. and
Pregnant win UGH misery 10 large number Of our
fellow Creatures" Conscious Of the ec in his right
to interfere in the concerns Of Texas, Mr. O'Connell
finds very convenient to call the people Of Texas III
rates. This is ever the resort Of those who tread on
ground they have right to occupy. Does he
know, who the Texans are! Does he no, know ,ha,
they are Intelligent, honest, and upright Anglo Amcr.
from the United States !--,ncn in whose veins not
particle Of base blood flows. Docs he not know that
these very Anglo Americans the descendants of En-.
gshmen, Scochmen, I~ishmen and WcIshmcn, and
that they look it right extend their swny
wherever the road to conquest is open Do not the
En-: fish do the very same thing Are they enncting
at this very time in India what he calls the Tex ian frce?
Mr.. OConne deserves 10 b. blamed for looking on, on
The surface "fthings lfho he s,uesman and philo~
sopher he takes good care to conceal it, As to the
abuse q" France for being the first European nation to
acknowledge Texas it does not deserve notice. bt in
passing, VIC cannot help noticing the coincidence be-
tween our own condition and that of Texas. Frunce

of France and England to that true love liberty which

The Lberator the bgncss Of his designs proceed.
q" respectfully submit that to The British, aud Foreign
An'i-Slavery Society ,hi. duty properly belongs First
to make the British people Perfectly acquainted with
