White slavery In Great Britain.

The Rev. DIR. McCleand, says the New York
| Express in a SERIES Of letters now publishing
! IN the CHRISTIAN iltelLgeansr," relative t. The
condition and pro -perts of the poor in the
| Highlands Of Scotland, asks, what shall be
done with them! Their number far exceeds
their means Of comfortable Subsistence, and their
condition becOHes worse every day, from the
operation Of various causes, the first and prlncl
pal Of which is their indOlelce and thritless-
| ness, for whica there seems no cure in the
power of man. To this he adds, a. n second
cause, the contemplate smnllness of their p0r-
lions OF land, seldom exceeding eight arres, hill
and all, generally not so muc. Formerly they
were able to live, after their fashion, Oh those
patches, by means Of their BLACK cattle and po-
tatoes. H. describes the split and policy of
the landlords as terribly against the poor man
They are, for the most part, descendants Of old
chietlains Of clans, who, though they have
lost their ftudaI jursdic ion, retain all the land
in the most absolute possession. Occupied
solely with the thought how to secure the
greatest amount Of revenue from their seffs,
they feel not half the sympathy with their ddli
cuItes wlich they show 10 their dogs and coach
horses. They avoid all intercourse with them
and the only day 3t the year or which they APP
pear conscious Of their existence, is that Oh
which the pounds, silings and pence are
counted out, without interest or defalcaion, by
which they purchase The privilege Of slow starva.
ton. The reverend doctor eXcmims:
Talk Of the horrors of American slavery 1t
were well if the rabl deciaimers on this sub
Jrct mere, and IN the other parts Of the island,
would open her eyes Iiltl. TO what is pass.

gentleman, wa tErou-h tie High street or
Latlangate 0f Glasgow, ut eleven O'Clock in the
morning, and he will see things that he will
never forget. DR.. McCIelland then goes on to
say:
Il have alluded to American slavery, and !
name 1t again, to declare before God and man
my opinion that there are Il hundred thousand
people in religious, slavery ,hating Scotland
whose happiness, temporal and eternal, we could
not better consult ttan by reducing them to
bondage. E'i as slavery is, ! do not hesitate
to say that il Glasgow alone, there are twenty
five thousand beings, OF our own flesh and
blood, to whom it would be IL blessing" |
