ANTI-SLAyERV EMIssARIEs.-The British Anti
Slavery Society have sent over to this country .
Mr.. ScoBLE, who is to lecture us on the duty Of
putting down slavery. Mr.. s. had better attend,
in the first place, to the condition of the oppressed
in his own country, who are infinitely worse off
than the slaves here and then to the fact that, if
he wishes to put down slavery, it is rather his duty
to go Where there are SLAVES. South Carolina or
Mississippi would be much better theatre for his
philanthropic exertions than New England or New
York. He would be then in the line of his duty.
