Political slavery Is an abomlnatOn in the eyes
OF our friends on the other side of the Atlantic
social slavery an unobjectlOnable condition OF hui
mainly. We have received file of New York
papers, and there is much amusement, If but little
information, to be extracted from the anomalous
tumble of ideas which the citizens of the United
States involved by the actual situation of Anne
rican and European affairs. The figure of spare,
banner, inscribed with the words, "Death to
Tyrants,' and IN the other, a cato -nine tails
wo1ld afford not inapposite image OF the present
condition OF the American mind as reflected in the
press. For every lnvective hurled against the
"despots' of the Old World, there will be found
as counterpart, some unfeehng joke against The
pretentlons Of the coored population OF the States
TO raise themselves TO civil and social liberty.
We have the quasi wing candidature OF old Zachary
Taylor, and the free soil candidature of Mr.. Van

testo, IN which 1t announces that the Irish
rebellion has proved an abortion, but at the
same time lnumates It's determination to re-
tain possession of the funds raised in the States
IN aid OF the movement, without accoun,a.
bhty, until Ireland shall become a republic, or
some other Greek kalend contingency Of the like
kind shall occur finally, we have a report OF the
triumphant receI ton given TO Hecker, the Ger
man refugee, the repre- sentative of the massacres
and sanguinary tnmult of Frankfort, and thun-
derIng leading article IN ridcule and denuncia-
ton OF the negroes This Is the white and black
side OF the shield. The Autocrat OF all the Rus
sies would be shocked at the sentiments recorded
with regard 10 slavery, while, from the philpplcs
IN favor OF Liberty, Blanqui and Barbes might ex-
tract consolation.
TIE reception given TO Herr Hecker is thus IN

cap OF liberty and red flag were hoisted, and the
SIGHT OF them again excited the crowd, who re-

himself, and explain what he concelves to be the

that they al naturally go for equal dvsion Of pro-

AS soon as the enthnsias m had little subsidized,
the serious business OF the meeting began. Gen.
