The ladies' OF Bath, we find, are emulating the ex-
ample Of the aristocratic committee women Of Stat
Sord House and have signed similar address to the
ladies of America. Verify, Mrs Beecher Stowe, with
vast deal of desire no doubt, to effect good has, by
her highly colored romance Of "Uncle Tom, kinded
fire which is not likely very soon to be put out; but
whether it do anything else but excite animosity
among her own countrymen, seems very problemati-
cal, for at present, believe it has had effect
whatever in unrvetting the chains of slavery which,
we fear, is a system too closely connected with the
very existence of American society, ever to be abo-
tshed without great inconvenience and mischief. As
respects ourselves, however have evidently quite
enough to do in setting our own house in order,
without interfering with the economy OF others.
Facts are daily coming to our knowledge, painfully
illustrative of this. The reports Of sanitary
missoners and Of those sent to inquire into the state
eforr colery laborers factory people and handloom
weavers, offer the material for most painful comments
ON every page. Then, again, in our metropolis and
great towns look at the condition Of the overworksd
and miserably paid aboring poor in all the back
streets and purlieus, involving q condition Of ex.
istence that makes humanity shudder; and let the
ladies' in particular who are to unusually ne-strung
in sentiment, survey the miseries their own
doors-of their humble countrywomen who earn
their four and half pence day at shirt making of
the milliners whom their passion for cheap dress
consigns to eighteen hours of daily labor for pit
lance of some nine shillings week of thousands of
women who are employed on ornamental needle
work at wages barely sufficient to keep them from
actual starvation of hundreds of well educated and
accomplished young ladies', whom their liberality
eondescends to receive into their families as COVER
nesses, at salaries lower than the wages they give
their cooks and housemads Verify, and in truth,
the ladies of London and Bath had better look at
home, and put aside their Uncle Toms. 1t is very
easy to be humane where it nothing and this Is
precisely the humanity Of these "meddesome
matty's." But we question exceedingly whether
their compassion would continue to exert itself if
instead OF merely signing an address, they were re-
quired to make deductions from their pin money to
aid the abolitionists. That they have not the real
stun In them is quite clear from the fact that their
love for good bargains-"ducks of bonnets" and
"sweet, pretty caps and coars''-leads them to be-
come sccomplicss in the shameful act of depressing
and half starving their fellow countrywomen, who
labor early and late to provide them with cheap
should reform altogether, before they think of med
ding with their sisters across the Atantic.s
