trade are 90 well known in England. IL ap
pears, that Garrison, and the welLknown Georgs
Thompson, and Frederick Douglass, the fagt
tive slave from Maryland, paid visit TO Thorn
as Clarkson, in September last; on parting with
them, he handed to Garrison and Thompson a
paper giving his 'last and mature thoughts on the
subject Of American slavery, and especially on the
subject Of dissolution Of the Union" Mr.. Clark
son was then in the 67th year Of his age. Carl
son puts forth this extraordinary paper IN HIS "ib-
orator." and endorses it, Of course. IL gives the
substance of his conversation with "a number OF
American gentlemen, who were in London some
time ago." whose names are not given, but who do
not seem, il we may Judge by this sketch, to have
stood up as strongly and clearly as they might have
DONE by the institutions and by the Union Of their
country. The great object Of Mr.. c. is to carry out
the familiar slang of the northern abotonists, mo
union with Shareholders" He attempted to convince
his American visitors that the north would be much
happier il entirely disconnected from the SOUTH that
they would be stronger, weather., more respected and
powerful abroad, more religious and moral at home
Mr.. c. contends that slavery is the mother Of inf
deity and is grossly ignorant Of the condition Of
the southern and western States, that one would
suppose they were destitute of religion, had few
meeting houses, and no independent ministers
among them; and that, if they were separated from
the nonslayeholdng States, they would scarcely
have strength enough to defend themselves agains'
their own slaves, much less TO make any efficient
defence in case Of with the other States, with
foreign nation. The number OF bells which float
ed on the air ofths metropolis on yesterdays Sab
bath, attests the extent Of her religion; and the
BILE volunteers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, louisiana, and Baltimore and Washington,
irresistible evidences Of the military strength
which they contribute to the Union. But we for
bear to dwell upon this theme. Heaven forbid that
we should ever come to calculate the value Of this
noble Union"-much less to say, which portion Of
beloved country will suffer most by its dissolu-
ZION. We throw out these statements merely to
show what gross ignorance is entertained abroad
about the character Of our institutions, and what
mischievous schemes are on foot in the north.
As we write, we think ourselves bound to notice
scheme which is said TO be in agitation in re-
alion to this Disriel-bordsrng, il does, on two
Of the saveholding States We earnestly trust that
there may be some mistake in these statements;
but we think il our duty to submit them for the
information of others, and to protest against the
whole scheme. As the National Integencer
may know more about ii than we know, we task for
information"

LIBERTY PAPER AT WAsHMGros cIrY.-our
readers will remember many Of them, that this
project occupied considerable share Of attention at
the antslavery convention IN this city IN December
1914. Many then were in favor Of such move,
and seemed to, think that great amount Of good
might by its means be accomplished and power
ful influence be exerted in behalf Of crushed hui
mainly in the person OF the southern chattel.
Whether this meeting in 1874 was the first to sug-
gest the idea, we do not remember; but the subject
has been brought up at intervals ever since At the
"north liberty convention" held in Chicago

slider the matter and take such preliminary steps
as would esult in the establishment Of such press

A late number of the Western Citizen contains
report from this committee, embracing the follow
ing plan, drawn out at little length That the
