TO the Canada authorities a charge Of mail-rob
berry Gov NJ. took the ground that the civil OF
criminal offence charged was blended with or grew
out Of the political attitude finsurecton, and that
he could not give up the fugitive. Such, we be-
lieve has been the uniform rule Of our Federal and
State authorities. Shall we be able to bring Great
Britain to acquicsce in similar demands from US to
those we have refused when preferred by her =
Perhap, may; but in regard to the slaves who
we're not personally concerned in the revolt, there
IS no perhaps in the case England viii assuredly
never give them up even though her resistance
should involve her in twenty years war with half
the world. In the eyes of her Government, her
People, and her Institutions their race is precisely
the same as though an Aigerne Moorish vessel,
with crew of twenty Turks or Arabs conveying
one hundred and fifty Christian slaves, had been
captured by her cargo and carried into British
port. Slaves cannot breathe in England; the
chains of bondage fall from the limbs which have

human chattels nor pay farthing for them. If our
Government should seriously demand either, it will

it plainly, not to argue it.
While we cannet bu, regard with concern this
multiplication of serious issues with Great Britain
prcsuming that an issue shall be made by US on this
case-there is aspect in which we view it with
compacency. The South has long beea endeavor-
ing 10 faScy Great Britain her natural ally against
the rapacity, monopoly, and especially the fanati
cism of the North aud the forty-balc theorists
whose sucleus is Mr.. Calhoun have been assidu-
ously fostering the impression, with q view to more
intimate sympathies and associations Whether
we have war or peace with Great Britain, this
Creole affair will exert saluiary influence
on all the region below Mason & Dixon's line
Let it have its free course; for, while we shall de
foreign war in support or vndication in any way Of
Slavery, we shall rejoice to the South awakened
to nearer and clearer perception of the advan-
tages of Home Market, of Home sympathic,,
and, where the necessity obviously is forced on Us,
Of HONE LEAGUE.
