SLAVERY AND THE BRITIsH GOVERNMENT.
Both The people aad the Government Of
Grea, Britain make great show Of phiIan-

constantly camorDg against other nations
where slavery exists; and yet itiswel known
that the government of Great Britain i'selfIs
AT thismoment engaged inAhe slave trade TO
a greater extent that ever was pEaciIsed bv
any nation. She employs an immense marine,
nominaily for the suppression Of the trade, and
yet hatmarine is directly supported from The
profits of The trade. The operation has been
thus described. The crusaders on the African
coast are seldom known 10 prevent the sleal>
ing Of the negroes, but generally catch the
vessels, with all on board. The uninitiaied
might then suppose that the negroes would be
immodistely discharged. Not so, however
They are taken over 10 the coast Of Brszl, and
sold by British authority into servtude for
eight years, generally al $50 head, in order
topay the expense of their capture. The ne,

A.. They wall on the first Monday Of April,
do what the people Of New York did last
November, dismiss their un(aihful stewards,
who have obIarned their places by fraud. and
who have neglected their masters interests,
and attended only to their own.
q. Are there-any divisions in the whig par
~
A. The late Wsig party is now divided in-
to several separate factions, who, like the
Jews before the destruction of Jerusalem, are
fighting each other, instead Of uniling 10 de-
fend themselves against their enemies
G. What is The cause Of these dissentionsl
A, The cause of these dIssens'ona, is the
Sc fishness and dishonesty of the Wing lea"
ders, whose gleedlness for the .''sPOils Of Of

A, The const stqueuce of these dseeusiOua
will be, the total overthrow, and distraction OF

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE--TllE LOVE
OF NHIGGE FOR The POOR MAN
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT, &C.
None who remember the hard c'Ger cam
paign ofI9i0 can lall IoTecolIect the love'of
The federal e4ders profess d for The dear SUI
ferlrg people. The supporters of Mr.. FaH
Buren, were held up as the enemies OF untoflu-
nate poor, and although every act oil the dem
ocrats gave the lie 10 this assertion, yet It's con
stan, repetition By federal orators, claiming 10
be res spectacle, induced manyl 10 believe lttrue.
Intransferrlng ,he power from tbe democratic
party TO that of the federal, the poor man has
truly placed his hand in the lions mouth. True
the federal party ha'ched up the amously in
famous bankrupt law, butli was passed to en-
able their Webbs, Hoxes, and other specu|a-
ting soruundrels who owe lhelr thousands and
millions, TO retain their watches and jewelry
from execution, wine off their old debts and
commence anew. The leborng man can derive
no benefit f ON It, because, IN many cases, the
fees ofattorncys & of the officers of the court
will swallow up more than all they owe. r.,
One Of the last acts Of the Legislature OF
Connecticut, was TO pass law blo,'ing from
The statute book the right Of the creditor to i'm
mure within the walls Of prison, his unlor'u-
nate debtor. Shortly after this event the wings.
these exclusive friends of the poor, came into
power, and.siell it not IN Gath during the late
session the re- enacted that law.
Imprisonment for debt, is one of the few
relics of barbarous age.
"when crown and crozier ruled coward world"
and is alone worthy oflhe time when men,
for the free exercise Of opinion, suffered mar
tyrdom at the stake, or on Tower Hill, in Lon
don, bed for the right Of conscience. P5ian
thropsts have in vain sough, 10 banlsh It from
Christian lands; savsges themselves revolt at
at its inhumanily, aud even the turbaned Turk
cruel and vindictve as he is, laughs 10 scorn
the idea ofthe Prince of Peace immuriug their
fellow rhen within The walls ofa loalhsome pris
on for debt, thus msking crime Ofpoverty.
Yielding to the onward march Of liberal and
enlightened feeling, the democracy Of Connec
iicul blotted this foul stain from the statute
book, end it remained for the mIscaled them
selves the tife of being The only friends of the
poor, the down trodden debtor, after his all
had been taken, because he could not perform
an impossblIlty, he should be treated as fel,
on. Out upon such barbarity. -.
Since the above, we have seen it stated il
an eastern paper, That revolutionary soldie
had died in jail where he had been confined
for some months debt ola few dollars. Ma!
the rapacious wretches who voted for the re
vlva of this law never share It's fate.
I The democrats have again the ascendenc
in the Legislature OF Connecticut. Their frs
act should be repeal ofthis odlOus law; and W
trus, the people, learning experience from 4h
E past, will never again give the federal Shy
locks chsuce to re enact il. ...

The Globe says, "Mr MeKeou, of New
Yo.k, in the course Of his able speech in the
House on this subject, responded to the al
tempt Of the Wing majority to throw of all
responsibility for the disastrous condition OF
The public finances and credit, by telling them
fairly that if they would stand ou, Of the way

the embarrassment into which it has been
plunged during the last year Certainly no
proposition could be fairer than this, to The
controlling power IN Congress, Which refuses
ell responsibility for the conduct of concerns
over which il exercises absolute control In
the very question pending. the whole Demo
cratic party contend that the restoration OF the
land fund would restore the public confidence
with The means of the Treasury. and o.
course the public credit; and yet while the
Wings refuse the Governmen, its natural re-
