You will have seen by the last Greensboro

some plan for the election Of abolition preachers

Though there was slight diversity of opin.

its favor But that all shareholders are necessa-

obligations, and anxious for the good Of their

assist IN great national festival, siall be treated
with designed contempt, because Mr. Pet0 does
not wholly approve OF our domestic institu-
tons. Imagine, for one momenL the conse-
Quences Of such recommendations rs that OF
Mr.. Pcto creating reciprocal feeling on this
side the water, where Englishmen are daily ar
irving by the thousand, and landed at the doors
of our almshouses There are many things 10
! England repugnant to the political and moral
sense Of our people, but we have never heard OF
our countrymen attempting their abolition by
treating English visitors with contumely.
Since writing the above we have read let
ter from Horace Greeley, published in the New
York Tribune, dated in London, and complaint
ing of a very marked discourtesy towards him
self by the London Times. Mr.. Greeley states
that he was invited to the dinner given by the
London commissioners to foreign commission
ers to the Great Exhibition; that he consented,
at the urgent request Of Lord Ashburton, the
chairman, to offer the toast complimentary to
Mr. Paxton, the architect of the glass palace.
He did so, and, according to the custom on
such occasions, prefaced his toast with speech.
The Times reports the speeches of all the other
foreigners, and even the response OF Mr.. Pax
ton, but omits all mention of Mr. Greeley, his
speech, and his toast. He was the only Ameri-
can who spoke at the dinner. The omission is
remarkable, but, taken in connexion with the
speech of Mr.. Peto, it is not difficult to account
for it, 1t is stated in the paper that reports the
remarks Of Mr. Peto, that among the gentle
men who addressed the meeting at Freemason
Hall was Mr. Greeley, of New York and, if he
neglected to rebuke the ungenerous and Insult
ing remarks of the member of Parliament, he
has been very properly treated by the Times,
and has no right to complain.
The determination, so boldly avowed, to give
the cold shoulder to Americans visiting Eng
land, must have its origin in some very differ
ent motive from that assigned. The abhor-
renee of evil cannot be it, else why select us,
above all other people, for such an experiment
The famous exploit of Mrs. Partington, so hap.
PLY described by Sidney Smith, in attempting
to drive back the ocean with her mop, was not
more absurd than the proposition of MIR. Peto
to drive us into what he processes to consider
good behavior.
aThese arrogant airs of John Bull will be an
additional motive to all our comtrymen who
make him visit this summer to unite with the
Wings in rendering us independent of the work
shops of Manchester and Birmingham. We
shall expect soon to hear of another meeting
in Tammany Hall Recommending the Democratic
party upon their radical principles the supreme
will of the people," viz; protection to American
manufactures"

Loud, long and obstroperous have been the
rejoicings over the action of the Democratic
convention recently assembled at Reading The
big organs, and the little ones, devoted TO the
patchwork plan Of pacifcation, called the com.
promise, have lauded it in language Of the high
est hyperbole. But the following statement Of
an important fact not patent on the face of the
proceedings, tends to mar somewhat the merit
SO strenuously insisted upon.
Will the Union, the Pennsylvania, dc. dc.
contradict or confirm the correctness Of this
statement, which we find in Putsbarg (Pa.,)

which is in Governor Johnstons pockets, where
il is likely to remain,) was denounced by the
late Democratic convention at Reading, as ain
terposing obstacles by means of State legisla-
ton TO the execution of the provisions Of the
Constitution of the United States, a virtual dis
regard Of the principles of the compromise and
calculated seriously TO endangcr the existence
of tie Union" Before passing this resolution
unanimously, the convention nominated, by az.
clamation, a candidate for governor, who had

to resent aggression without punging into "a

stormy aspect of the Southern horizon--deaf to
the deep mut.erings of the thunders which for

Northern people on in this mad career of insult

appeals as that inconsiderately put forth by the
Republican and its co-operators.
Such is tho curious similarity of sentiment
and such the identity existing between the
Northern glorious Unionn Free-soilers and the
Southern Acquiescents," that in firing into
the arguments and the pretended facts of the
one class, we are at the same time demolishing
the masked battery" of the other. Both quote
with equal flippaucy the Farewell Address of
the Father of his country Both strive to shelter
themselves from initiating his great example, BY

in gripping and paralyzing the power, the in
crease and the expansive energies of the South.
But the closing paragraph of the Republicans
article inspires the faint hope that it may have
intended its remarks to be 'sfacetious and sar-
CASTLE" in whole as well us in part Certainly
it is hard to conceive, that any person in the
South should at this day be so utterly in the
dark as to the real condition, prospects and
inherent power of the South, as the writer OF
the article commented upon would appear to
be, if serious.
Better take the credit of having perpetrated
dull joke, than be saddled with the load of
a grave absurdity.
1t is impossible that the writer could be seri-
GUS in writing the last paragraph which we have
italicised, for burlesque could not be broader.
@We trust that, while the Secessionists Of Mis-
sissippi are in the Washington vein, they will
take it into their patriotic heads to present Gen.
Quitman at the close of his next speech with a
copy of Washington's Farewell Address. We
think it will he of advantage to that dignitary
to 'sread, mark, learn and inwardly digest that
celebrated document. And since Virginia pro-
auctions to be in high favor in that latitude,
the Secessionists would do well to give their
great orator copy of certain resolutions II The

ginia still stands, Uhere she has erer stood, and
