at the Worlds Convention-The Probable
Results OF all these schemes.
The remarks which we have already made ON this
important topic, has drawn forth very able letter
addressed to the Duke Of Sussex, by gentleman OF
South Carolina, which we have placed on another
page of this days paper.
The views taken by the writer Of the letter are
entirely in accordance with those which We havs
already set forth. Here we see large meetings,
held in London. the ayowed object oil which Is To
revolutionze and oveturn the social Institutions OF
the south; destroy the property OF the planter;
and if not soon checked to dsorganze the Union il
self
At one of these incendary meetings we find Prince
Albert, the husband Of the Queen of England. and
the future Regent of Great Britain, presiding; coun
tenancing the whole OF he mad schemes and designs
a the Abolitionists against this country by his
sence, aud aiding their couases by his tongue, At
another Of these meetings we find the Duke of sus-
SEX the uncle, aud Ito certain extent) the adviser
of the Queen, presiding; he, who, in the ev ent of
the death, Of issue the part of the Queen,
may succeed TO the throne of England. And yet this
is also nconing the dssigns Of the Abolition
lists against southern states, by his presence and
his speech, and committing himself unrcservedly TO
their dictionary designs
Now, these weighty matters, and worthy OF
the serious consideration of every lover OF the
Union. There is no longer any question that the
abolitoniss intend destroy totally, if they can,
the interests Of Southern planters, in as speedy
a manner possible. They could conceal the
cloven foot no longer; and have recently come out
opeaiy, and avowed this 10 be their intention.
Such being the case, and these facts must have
been known to all at those tings, what right,
what shadow of a pretexi had those members Of the
reigning family Of Great Britain to preside at and
assist in ganizing meetings, that were got up for
the purpose Of revolntionizing eur social and do
nestle institutions!
The thing is too monstrous upon its face to admit
of the least excuse. Ii gross violation Of that
stern rule of international policy which Great Bri-
tain has always been strong stickier for; and in
defence Of which she has shed much blood and trea-
sure, viz, that every nation claim right the
regulation ots own social and domestic ns ttutions,
according 20 its own notions of policy, and impress
sions OF Justice. This nation, part Of it, (the
sou;hern planters for nstance,) have as much right
To organise societies in Richmond, Charleston, Sa-
vaxnah New Orleans, &c. for the purpose OF effect
ing total change in the political institutions OF Eng
land and also to change all the religious institutions
Of that priest-ridden country. They might as well
get up a Democratic Republic Worlds Convention
at Charleston, and in the District OF Columbia, TO
take into confederation the best means o. ehectuaiy
freeing the oppressed working classes OF Great
Britain from the CALLING yokes Of political and Gle
rical tyranny, which have for ages oppressed then
They have as much right to invite the leading Char
ts,s to tins country, get mp meetings, advance mo-
new and organise plans that would ehectuaily over
throw all the political and clerical institutions oil
Eagland, as by law established
We have as much right 20 do all this, as Great
Britain through the rcigning family, has TO do what
she has been doing. Nay, We have agreater right;
because we are connected with the oppressed
people of Great Britain BY ties of blood; and " e
suspect that not even the widest and most disoI-
eanizing fanatic at the late Worlds Convention,
would attempt 20 claim blood relationship with the
negroes Of the south.
Lett ne, be suPpos ed that we'place too much i'm
portance upon the meetings in London. II was not
aconvention q mere cyphers, like the poor misera-
BILE creatures who Ct ais themselves Abotiohsts in
this country. IL was a meeting OF peers Of the
Rssm, the Blood Royal, the pr nees and the mobiles
ofthe land the members of parliament, the heredi-
tary legislators Of the natien, the merchants, the
wealth and the inie gence OF the country, all COM
bned under the sanction OF the government of Great
Britain
Aud what was the real object Of these meeting
Nstmerely o. Hborste a few blacks in the south o
whom they know little and care less. Oh, no. Pu
IL was o destroy the south, and through the south
err planters TO strike blow that would cripple thi
country in her great trade, and tend 10 hei
own agrandiscment The benefit Of tbe'pegroes wal
10 be the avowcd OBJ ect and for this purpose, tie
few poor, miserable devils, Who vent from tie
uorth a. delegates, were To be used as tools.
II is well known that Great Britain has Away $
g-arded her domestic institutions from foreign in
reference. The bloody she carried on against
Napoleon were not merely to crush hm,bui fights Of
revenge, because the French Revolution came near
revolutonizing her social institutions. For this and
this alone she expended much blood and treasure.
For this Pitt established his famous spy system, and
hunted 20 many Englishmes 10 death. For this lie
compassed the destruction Of Horne Tooke, Hardy,
Thelwsll, and others. They attempted TO tamper
with the domestic relations Of the country, and a.
though natives born, they were denounced as trsi-
tors and tried for their lives.
And this has always been the policy 81 Eng
landf why then should she be guilty Of that which
she so stcrnly punished in othsr.1 Does he think
that the United States will tamey submit 20 her in
.ol.pt interfersncei II she does she is miserably
mistaken IL is a bad rule that will not work both
and what Is sauce the goose should be
for the gander. What is honesty IN one place, does
not change its character by merely crossing the At
Iantic What j. sound political logic when srple'
tothe institutions Of England esnrot be changed int
allacies and scphistrv, by merely being applied t.
the institutions of the United states. Therefore, We
