Practical PHILANTHROPY VERSUS ABOLITION
FANATIcIsM.--W Within the last year or so, several
large sums of money have been contributed by
phanthropc people in this city, for purchasing the
free dom Of deserving slaves, and preventing family
Ties from being severed. In this way several slaves
have been released and they and their families
sent on their way rejoicing--some TO Liberia, and
some 10 various other places. Many of the cases
which thus called for the exertons of the humane,
were very hard for the slave but the hardship was
the result of causes over which the owner or own
ers had no control In their judgment il was ne
cessery TO dispose of their slave property and send
it beyond the reach of the abolonists, or submit
to lose it The former plan was about to be adopted,
when the slaves were purchased, and their liberty
presented TO them.
Now there is a large field, in this respect, for the
exercise Of The benevoence Of Northern abolition
lists Their fathers, if not themselves, abolished
slavery in these States when they found that that
description Of labor could not compel te with that
Of the white emigranis from Europe. After dis
posing Of The greater portion of their slaves the
South they magnsnimously passed law prohibit
ing the existence Of slavery here, after certain
day. Having thus made virtue of necessity, and
poeketted the cash for their slaves, they immedi-
ately turned up the white OF their eyes n holy hor-
ror at the siniulness ofsavery, and from thattim
TO the present. have persecuted the Southern States
for continuing the institution, and deliberately con-
cocicd schemes 10 steal slaves from the South
Their agents have frequently been caught at this
kind Of work, and have suffered more or less in
consequence At the present time, one of the most
active and unscrupulous instruments is under
arrest FOR attempting TO run off several
slaves frcm the District of Columbia, on a recent
occasion; and on conviction, viii, no doubt, suffer
the p, naty provided tor such offenders against the
laws Of neighboring States. Few will sympathize
with him, for he rushed into crime headlong, and
must take the consequences Of his own misdeeds.
His employers, il born and educated in the South,
would, doubtless, be as rabid pro-slayery men as
that section Of the country contains But as cotton,
Tice and tobacco cannot be produced here with
profit. and slavery, therefore, would not be
profitable, the ancestors Of the preceni Of abo
lnonists made a virtue Of necessity, prohibited
slavery, and transmitted their horror Of the uapro-
ftahe institution TO their children. The truth is,
rice, cotton, and tobacco, cannot be profitaby
grown on Northern soil, aud hence slavery was
abolished.
II, however, there are any aboltonists in the
North, who are sincere in their We've, and desrous
Of amelorsting the condition Of the slave, why do
they not adopt the example OF the philanthopic IN
dyiduas TO whom we have referred, and expend
their money in purchasing the liberation OF de-
serving slaves instead OF wasting il in publishing
eboliuon journals, and employing agents to steal
them from their mastersl But we fear this last
business will not be stopred until some half dozen
Of men Ike Chaplin, ere strung up by our incensed
Southern citizens.
THE WORLDS Exmmuoy.--We learn from
Europe, that the plan recently started by American
merchants with regard TO the transportation TO this
county, and exhibition here, Of portion Of the
goods desinsd for the great exposition Of trades in
London, in ls5l is likely meet with success. We
ere Informed that M Smith, from Philadelphia,
who had been sent 10 Europe in order TO make ar
rsrrements for the carrying out Of this project, is
new in Berlin, engaged in negotiations with the go
verrmrnt respecting this plan.
Oar cabinet al Washington has, We hear. adj
dressed a circular 10 different governments Ia
Europe requesting their assistance in this matter;
and the government o Great Britain, well as that
Of Prussia, sre stated to be fsvorsbly incncd 70
Ills rroposal We believe that this exhibition Of
European manufactures would be- Of great interest
to us, and Of stll greater advantage to the mnnu-
fioiuiiDg world on the other side OF the Atlantic,
by the ueens il would afford of our becoming ac-
quaintCd with their products The inpouance, ia
deed, tfat we should find out what the Europeans
are able 20 produce apPar5 to us to BE- 50 minfest,
that il is really to BE- wondered at how American
enterprise suffered the plan Of a general exhibition
Of all nations such as Is 10 take place In London, to
be taken out Gifts hands. Ours u great export
ing country, and we can offer equivalent 10 the
nations of Europe for their manufactures and the
products other labor. We can feed the starving
millions Of Europe, if we can receive bat an ex-
change for IT, What however, is the use Of such
an exhibition in England Can the English cot
ton spnuers, unable &c support themselves, furnish
bread 10 the rest Of Europe Or will ali the Pom2
and show Of this exhibition, which is TO be
opened under the auspices Of Prince Albert, aud
The whole English nobility, save the hundreds that
are daily falling victims TO disease and starvation,
in Ireland and Silesial
In this country, such an exhibition would doabL
less prove TO be Of the greatest bonei, European
manufacturers, by increasing and extending our
trade with the nations Of Europe Ia England IL is
merely made farce Of by serving ~ an entertain
meni for the sristocratic classes OF that country,
while, in reality. no one is profiied by H.
Sporting intelligence.
