We see from The northern papers that Shadrach,"
who was foreiby rescued from The officers of Bostoa
is now in Canada in utter restitution, and that III MS
necessities he was forced 10 write TO the United plates
for relief To whom did he write To whom did he
Sc, forth his suBerings' To whom did he make his
appeal? To iree-soilerl To an aboli'ionst' NO
He made his appeal to who was not connected IN
any manner with free soism or abolitionism
This fact contains volumes II furnishes full and am
ple confederation of what we said some time since 1t
proves that neither the free sellers the aboiuoniss
have any regard for the African race. and that phan-
thropy has nothing do with their anatcal conduct
They have no regard for the slave They wish only
to commit felony. and to rob the master OF the slave
That accomplished, they have regard for the negro
they have seduced and stolen, violently rescued The
robbery having been committed, they are satisfied ;
and they spurn the slave they have sedaced and sto
len They will not give him shelter, will they give
him a crust of bread when he is starving in a strange
land.
The New York Journal OF Commerce has on many oc-
casons-certainy in than or twoobtained sub
scrpons order purchase the freedom OF slaves OF TO
comply with the conditions OF deeds OF emancipation
Not long since raised fund TO send to Liberia some
forty slaves, who were emancpated on the condition
that they should be sent TO Liberia. Since then il has
raised by soliciting subscriptions, the means OF pur-
chasing the freedom OF more than one fugitive slave moi
very long ago published statement which proved that
not dollar of these various subscriptions had been paid
by an abolonist Thus It'll proved that the pretended
philanthropy of the abotonisls and soiers is mere
cheat-a preence that they are not willing TO pay
a dollar 10 give crust OF bread TO the slave
they have stolen from his master great risk and grea
cost
How is this phenomenon 10 be accounted for ?-how
is i, to be explained We have considered the subjec
attentively We have considered the motives which
regulate human action. We have made al due allow
ance not only for dosyncases. but for even absolute u
macy and madness But there only hypothesis TO ex
plain the singular result we witness That is the pres
ence Of some exterior eemensome cause operating from
beyond the borders OF the United States We have no hest
taton in saying what that is perfectly con
fdent that British gold and British influence are at the bot
tom England finds great rival this side OF the Atlantic
Eng land sees nation which in few years can speak L
her in the tones of authority. At the North, England
sees that her commercial supremacy is no longer supreme
at the South, England people that can in da!
sfe and choke her manufacturing wealth. Englan
therefore wishes divide, and by divding 10 destro
this mighty coafederacy England wishes to separate tn
shipping interes, of the North from the producing an
exporting interest of the South England wishes 10 dis
solve the Union, that England may choose betwee
the fragments, and accomplish her purposes by destroyn
or subjugaing all Therefore it is that British gold, use
by British sagacity has inerfered with the affairs OF Il
United STATES therefore it is that the rescued stole
slave is uncared for England knows her purpose, an
she pursues it, Her purpose is accomplished by sowin
the seeds of discord between the States She looks alon
10 dis union British gold has therefore accomplished i
ourpose when il has paid some mscreant to seduce
slave 10 lea We his master The fact OF robbery complete
its purpose 1t has then sown the dragons teeth whic
it expects will produce plentiful barves, OF armed mel
Il is then satisfied. IT more for the negrt
British gold and British influence then spurn him, for b
liz no longer subservent TO British interests.
