who are the governing power Of England, there
can be just as little doubt as that Mrs Stowe was
feted by the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Car
Isle, Lady John Russell, and other noble ladies
in immediate connection with the Queen and
government, and by the majority OF the British
aristocracy. 1t is true that this did not amount
to direct endorsement of the treason of the
authoress of Uncle Toms Cabin, but it was
very near it, and in effect it was just the same;
and it might as well be said that it was not
with the concurrence of the government that
the Duchess of Sutherland and the other noble
ladies of England wrote their notorious letter
to the ladies of America. The object Of the
secret enemies of our institutions in COM
ing here from England or sending out
apostles, is to spy our weak points, to
exaggerate them, and to misrepresent us when
they return; and at the same time to lay be-
hind them here the seeds of future anarchy and
confusion.
We t~e persuaded that this cannot be Lord
Mountcashel's object, as we are informed it is his
intention to settle his son in the United States !;
and We learn moreover that he entertains
favorable opinion of our people and their insti-
tutions. 1t is a singular fact that of late many
Of the Irish aristocracy have come to settle
quietly and almost unknown in this country,
under the operation of the IAcumbered Estates
Act. But Lord Mountcashel, we understand,
being wealthy, his son is attracted here from
choice, and not driven by necessity. This is
another evidence Of change coming over many
Of the nobility and educated classes Of the old
country in reference to the United States. A
few years ago, and this republic could not be
named without turning up of the nose of all
the upper tendon of the British empire.
But there is another class of English polti
cal missionaries who have been coming here
recently besides anti-slavery agitators. They
do not make any noise. but secretly and silently
collect facts and statistics. They take notes for
the production of future effects upon grand
scale. They, too, are forming alliances. Their.
purpose is to create and extend the republican
sentiment in England. Whether Lord Mount
cashel, who used to be rather conservative in
his political ideas, has since changed his opin-
ions and become one of this secret organiza-
ton, we know not. But certain it is that the
movement is in operation and its friends count
largely upon the aid of John Mitchell, who has
been always friend of the English democracy
and the mortal foe of the British aristocracy::
These propagandists will find here more mate
rails to suit them more food for democratic re-:
volution at home than the abolitionist agents
can find for the purpose Of carrying out their
views and we expect to see monarchy and
aristocracy overturned in England long before
this Union shall be severed and shattered into
fragments. These then are the two great pro-
blems Of the age, as between Great Britain and
the United States: the oligarchy Of England are
in league with the aboltionists of America to
demolsh the Union and thus arrest the on
ward progress Of the country. The English
democracy are in covenant with Young Am :
RIGA and Young Ireland to overthrow the
throne of England and the aristocratc institu-
tions which sustain it, and to establish on their
ruins republic after the model of the United
States. Both sides will carry on their opera
tions with yigor; and meantime we shall watch
and wait to see which will come off victorious.
We rather think we shall bet on democracy and
