We have frequently reminded Our rea-
der OF the steadlast potcy of the British
Government bend ali ITS energies and its
p wer, " neither civil or military, TO purposes
of aggrandtzemen', and TO putting money
IA her purse, or into the pockets of certain
individual classes Of her citizens. "Mo-
uey" is Ier god and he king. In the ac-
quisilion Of that, the scope of her ken is as
large as the world. 10 that end, her ap-
piiauces are multifarOus, and are used
sparu5 5Iy; recklessy as to therights Of ma
tions or Of the common cause Of humanity
to man, jus; as the occasion may present
! itself Her means are diplomacy, warfare,
conquest, wholesale murder, speculation,
| afTectation of Philanthropy and trickery.
! Where one Of these is not applicable at one
! place tv accomplish the grand object, it is
held 10 be justly so at another, verifying
the I'D but immoral saying, ,"that the means
justify the end, without regard to any prin-
ciple excep! that Of GAIN at whatever COS;
10 those whom she deals. She forces her
trade and commerce wherever she can un.
der the mask offriendsaiP,and of by diploma
cy, assumes a protectorship, and naturally,
as in the cose of the East Indies, upon the
mest himsy pretexl, openly assumes the alb.
solule ownership. If this policy is not fa>
vored by the unsuspecting natives in the
outset at once, force is resorted to, as in
the case Of Ceylon, where thou,a and peo-
PIE were massac cred III order that her s.eam-
vessels might haue coal depot. She pur-
sded this game successfully in the Punjaub
against the Sikhs, and is al again in refer
ence TO Japan. We are speaking of the
British Government, not the people. The
preterdei philanthropy of the former in re-
gaid 10 slavery, was but political hobby

Finally, Great Britain set all her Saves free
in her West India Islands, and the result
has been ruin to them, and the deg graGation
and moro! retrogression Of both the white
aud black races. And then, her hypocrisy
in respect to this is Eer ownership Of nlL
lions upOn millions Of slaves in her Eas
India possessions, towards whom she makes
70 effort, save that ofincreasing their op
preston and tightening their chains. These
are not of the African race, but intermedi
ate between that and the white, and per
haps she acts upon the same reacon as ma
ny Of our abolitionists do, that no 9aegrC
slave should exist, but there may be as many
