For the National Era.
THE LITERARY WORLD.

Mr. EDITOR Is the slave power TO have con-
troll of all our magazines and literary papers, as
it has of most Of the political papers | sub
scribel for the Literary World at its commence
ment, and, though early saw there was no soul
in it, and occasionally perceived with shame its
proslavery activities, continued to take it for
its literary intelligence, until lately have given
il up in thorough disgust. In the number for the
18th December last, a whole page is devoted to the
abuse Of that noble, great-hearted philanthropist
George Thompson, with some unworthy and mean
insinuatious against our noble liberty poets, Bry.
ant, Whittier, and Lowell. In this attack the
writer remarks "Poets should be American, and
not Massachusetts, or CarolinianD BY this he
means, il he means anything that poets should
not be for liberty or slavery. But pray, Mr.. Lr-
erary World did you ever see or hear of poem in
favor Of slavery No! Heaven-descended poetry
never stopped to 50 base work as to sing the
praises Of "the vilest thing under the sun, as
the pious Wesley calls American slavery. From
old John Barbour down to Thomas Campbell, the
muse of English poetry has been consecrated to
the holy cause Of freedom.
In more recent number of the Lnerary World
that gifted poetess, Mrs Browning, is found fault
with for her poem, entitled "The Runaway
Slave, The reviewer making this audacous re.
mark; "With slavery, the Union has nothing to
dot is purely local institution "Locsl,n
is it2 Would TO Heaven it were On the con-
trary, it has extended its arm and stretched its
skinny fingers into every part of our wide domain.

ing man who has soul get up literary maya

such do not ask-but simply tair--that shall

liberty If not little more) it has for slavery.
