BRITISH HYPOCRISY UNMAsKED.

Since the British Government struck the
shackles from the negro slave, and put double
irons upon the copper-colored and the white
one, she has been at loss 10 procure proper
substitute for the former.
Al length her moral and liberty-loying minis
try have devised plan worthy of the conquer
ors OF Indostan and of the Scinde.
Ii consists 10 taking from Africa large
number of negroes, and indenturing them as
apprentices for twenty -one years TO the planters
in the West India Islands, thereby establishing
quasi-slave trade, which is not covered by the
existing laws of the civilized world, and impos-
ing upon thousands bondage equal TO that of
slavery for life, without suffering the reproach
of the name. IL appears, further, that the slaves
captured from slsvers are also indentured in a
similar manner, and the United States squad
ron on the African coast is powerful auxiliary
in carrying on this highly lucrative trade.
We take the earliest moment to call the at
tenlion of our Government and of the world TO
this outrageous infracton of the spirit of the
laws against the foreign slave trade. Where
are the Wilberforces and the O'Connells, the
Thompsons and the Abby Kellys MOVE Where
sleeps the thunder Of the ancient maidens of the
New England villages2 Alas! alas Sidney
Smith is dead, and the Rev. Mr.. Torey is in

Ol SOFT SLEEP THE HILLS.

o. soft sleep the hills in their sunny reposo,
Ia the lands of the south where the vine gsiy

And blithesome the hearts Of the vin,agers be,
In the grape -purpled wales Of the isles Of the sea
And fair is the wine when lie splendor is poured
From silver and gold round The festival board,
Where the magic Of music awakes ia its power
And vii gilds the fast falling sands Of the hour.
Yet lit not the wine cup though pleasure may swim
Mid the bubbles that hJat round the Iosesle brim,
For dark in Il depths Of the fountains below,
Are the syrens that Turk in the vortex Of wo.

And the soft cheek Of beauty they've psled In the

And quenched the bright eyes in the dnmps Of the

They have torn the live wreath Of the brow Of the
brave,
And changed his proud heart 10 the heart Of tho
slave;
And cen the fair fame Of the good and the Just
With the gray hairs Of age they have trSmpled in

Then lift not the wine cup, though pleasure may

MIR. WISE.

The Richmond Enquirer, in recent article on APP
pointments in Virginia, makes the following remarks
in reference to Mr.. Wise:
Indeed, we understand from undoub,ed author-
ty that the President has exhibited a high tone of
magnanmity, and will, on no condition, remove Mr..
Wise, who was appointed minister to Brazil by Mr..
Tyler. A king of France once said that he should
not, king, wreak his vengeance for injuries done
him when Duke of Orleans and Mr. Polk, as Pre-
sident, hiss too much pride and magnanimity to use
bis high Office against those between whom and him
self there ,oere unpleasant personal relations at the
time of his being private citizen. This is highly
creditable to Mr.. Polk, and shows that, in the dis
charge of his public duties he looks alone his

The Banner says: 'From tho specimens already
brought in it is expected that the hogs this

probably be shade less than in Cincnnati; and the
charges packing will be as low at any other
point in the West. We anticipate very busy times
for the ensuing three months.
The Cincinnati Atlas, OF the 4th inst, snys:-
