MRS. STOWE IN ENGLAND.

MRS. STOWE IN ENGLAND.
We have not supplied oUr readers with any
very full accounts of the reception of Mrs
Stowe in England, and the attending exhibitions
of English jealousy and English hatred of
America, of American growth and power The
her friends can be nothing less than notifying
TO all those who have proper regard TO the
conclusions possibly to be drawn of American
character and OF the influence of Aanerican in
stitu,ions, from the conduct of our citizens
abroad. We don't say this from any unkindness
towards Mrs Sowe, whom, despite the wonder
full popularity of her principal literary produc
ton, we regard as weak minded woman. There
are many and valid reasons to account for the rap
id spread of that work, aside aud distinct from
its merits as a literary performance. 1t came in
good time ard was ft morsel to feed the crazy
hate of many thousands of aboItionists. Many
who were not bold enough to sanction openly
the crusade against Southern rights, manifested
their sympathy with the movement by fulsome
adulation of ssUncle Toms Cabin The
British literary aud asstocratic circles saw and
welcomed it as means to renew that sectional
agitiiation in our midst, which they know is
more dangerous to our existence as nation,
than all other powers or causes combined. Mrs
Stowe book fed British hate, British jealousy
and British scheming.
Mrs. Stowe, however, seems to think that the
praises of her production, on both sides of the
water, are the measure Of lis intrinsic merits;
and not satisfied with the tibute of her noisy
friends in the U. S. she passes across the Allan
tic to receive the grateful incense Of British
praise. The British magnat,s thronged around
her. There came the hunkey Earl of Carlisle
and the everlasting lord JOIN Russell, with his
second, rate ideas and book-statesmanship, the
brilliant ebolitionist Palmerson, and the mag
nifcant Macauiay, and other', the great ones of
rank and literature, showerig around her, hon
ors never before paid to foeign genius by the
cold seifishness Of Britain. Al one ovation the
American flag was presentes mutilated: Mrs.
Stowe smiles her applause. Again, "focr thous
and British christians hised the American
President" Mrs. Stowe pgards this as the
testimony of the British public to the extraor-
dinary merits Of .Uncle Tons Cabin"
Yet, though in all these clamorous honors,
these aristocraic ovations, tits rage and display,
this mutla,ion of the American flag and kissing
of the American Prcsden, Mrs. Stowe sees
only evidence of British eseem for her work,
we doubt if any intelligent American is 50 gross
| " deceived The aim, tie scope of British
praise of Uncle Tom are all apparent The
veil is too thin. The du!hst eye pierces The
mask under which they wald hide malignan,
attack upon the harmony our country. Mrs.
Stowe is the facile, pleasedand willing means
In the hands of British arisocrats, used TO dis
turb the peace of our Uiior. Who does not
feel the flsll Of indignation spring 10 his face,
when told that the Ac,eric,n flag was mutlated
and that Americans were there, greeting the act
with applause: Whose b.ood does not LEAP
faster in his veins, " hen tod that "four thou-
sand" foul mouthed Engishmen "hissed the
American President" while American toade:
swel,ed the infamous sound
Let us now keep ia miad that aboliiionism
rebuked, dishonored in osrown country, lifts it
mis- shapen visage in England and endeavors
thence, to fan the fame of sectional d!scord
and to cripple the prosperity of the country
Let this foreign interference with The regulation
r of our affairs be met with IN indignant rebuk
from the American people And let those il
our midst, mis- called Americans, who applaud
aid and abet this British Interference with ou
domestic economy, be marked with the scorn Q
all just and patriotic citizens.
