ENGLISH Philanthropy AND AMERICAN SLAVERY.
1t would seem that EBgland, not content with
sending Of her tinerant abolition lecturers to
the United States, to excite i'll feeling and dscord
between the Northern and Southern sections Of
this country, wishes to go farther, and TO form an
alliance, If she can, with the Northern abolitionsts
and destructives-the Gerrit Smiths and Lloyd
Garrisons, and other crack Drained and shallow
pated reformers and humanitarians. The compro-
mice measures adopted during the last session Of
Congress, gave the fanatics, both here and there,
severe blow, from which they will not recover for
some time. They are determined, however, TO
keep agitation alive, not for the purpose Of helping
the slave, however, for their own experience in
the West Indies shows eonclusively the evils that
would flow from the emancipation of the colored
race IN our Southern States. Their object is 10
distract and divide the couniry-to make one sec
ton hostile to the other-io produce a dissolution
Of the Union, and the formation Of two republics
where there is now but one--knowing full well
that these United States, II they remais bound
together as they now are, in one federation and
with one government, will be the means Of utt
mately revolutionizing the whole Of the old world,
and Of razing 10 the ground the inqutous system Of
government which prevails IN England
AT recent meeting OF thc bIiuth anu tOEelgu
aa,-slavery Society, the following resolution was
unanimously passed'-
Received. that thi, committee have Witnessed With
profound regret the acts Of the United States Congress-
during A.. last session in relation TO slavery aud feel
20 be their duty TO record their conds mnation oil the
spirit which they were conceived the principles on
which they are based and the objects they we're In
ter ded TO accom- plsh That this committee more par
ticulary repfobate and denounce the act for the
capture Of fugitive slaves. as an outrage upon the
dearest rights 81 and daring violation OF the
lass Of God. That this committee deeply sympsthize
with the colored population Of the Inted states In
their present uost tying aud painfal circumtances
and would earnes,ly exhort the friends Of freedom
throughout the Union, TO use every legitimate means
in tim and Christian sprit, 70 eGsctNhe entire and
Immediate abolition OF the most Ubiquitous Lac.
This is a most unmitigated piece of impudence
and nipertinence and we have no doubt IL will be
denounced as such by all who read IT, II England
were, as she falsely pretends she is, country OF
hbeuy-if she had abolished her domestic slavery,
by which millions Of her people have been brought
to starvation, and forced to accept aid from our
very Southern slaves, or perish-if nine-tenths Of
her subjects not serfs or tools in the hands Of
the remaining tenth there nigh, be some show Of
consisencyin this pretended regard for the freedom
of the negro race in the United States. Her phi.
lanthropists, however, can see the moai in their
neiehbors eye, while they cant discover the beam
in their own. Il consong 10 know that their
motives are known aud duly appreciated; and the
dsy, we hope, past " hen even the harmony be-
tween the North and South can be disturbed, by
either English pbsnthropis's or American fanatics
