persons belonging to these societies. both IN the Uni

now Of easy demonstration that sympathy for the
black man Is but pretence for plunderng and OPP
pressing the white, and that that which is most 10 be
apprehended from the American abolition society is,
that acting upon public opinion in England, they may

Sir Robert Peel folds his arms and says let us
make no arrangement now. And why not Because,
| says he;
1t is impossible TO look to the discussions in the
United States of America, and especially TO the
lcs between the northern and southern States, with
seeing that slavery in that nation stood pre-
carous footing. Some from humane and benevolent
motyes--some account of interested fears, begin
to look al the great example we have set and also
begin TO look at the consequences which may result
from that example nearer home"

United States, will abolish slavery and what them
Why, as the only why the East Indies cannot
drive Cuba, Brazil, and the United States out of the
market, is, that the East India planter cannot com
pete with slave labor, il follows, as matter of
course, that when slavery is also abolished in Cuba
Brazil and the United States, as India has redun-
dant population, labor will then be cheaper in India
and that then all the world will be dependent upon
England for supplies of sugar, coffee, and cotton,
produced by the cheaper labor Of India and pur-
chased in exchange of her manufactures, in conse
quence of her legislative control over the India

Who can be surprised, that Sir Robert Peel and
other distinguished English statesmen entertain such
opinions when we hear the speeches of MIR. Adams
in Congress, and when that venerable but deluded
man calls upon the British government to exert its
influence TO abolish slavery in Texas, with an assu-
rance that this being done, slavery will to
exist the United States and all over the world
/ have conceived it to be my duty to go thus far
into detail, because this government in a crisis and
because verify believe that the obstacle which
most mpedes the progress OF free trade in this
try is the hope that slavery will be abolished in the
United States at very early day, and that then Eng
land will again, through her monopoly OF the East
India market be enabled to levy contributions all
other civilized nations. 1t will be seen, that long
this belief prevails have farther concessions
to expect. Am asked why then have the conces-
sions already granted been given? The answer is
that they are part of her colonial system, and ale
against, and not in favor of the United States.
