1.-THE miseries Of thousands Of white women,
IS an excess Of folly and hypocrisy. that will
lbe the curse Of freedom throughout the
lworld. We question the motives Of these
ladies. Among them we see the names ol
Isome not renowned for matronlY virtues,
but notorious for vanity friyolty, and fashion
THAT comprehensive word which includes
$50 much social evil
| On the stage, this work, aided BY the
morbid talentofits adapters, and the exquisit
lcleVerness Of such actors and actresses as are
Inow electrifying an Adelphi audience. IS
doing a mischief which century cannot re-
Ipair Let the Lord Chamberlainlook to tbs.
We are playing the part of the despot and
THE priest by insulting the United States Of
America. What have we to do with the
lafaisr Of the American Republic? Why are
I'VE to back this great exaggerated LIE?
| Let the Americans send ous here and write
a book which shall tell the truth--ay, one
half the truth, of London city; let them get
Iup drama, whose scene shall be in Lanca-
shire; let them make out Britons to be task
masters. without one redeeming point, over
the emasculated millions Of British work
people, whose sinews they stretch and whose
bones they grind downin the name Of com
mcrce. Let them send to India or Borneo.
Let them dramatise Warren Hastings and
Rajah Brooke. Let them throw light on the
Outram business, with its oppression and
lpoisnoings, together with the falsehoods Of
suppression and assertion on the part of the
East Inaia Company Let them paint famine
Iin ireland. For each American Legree
they shall easly End an English one. We
forced slavery on the Americans. We are.
now sowing there the seeds Of discussion
broadcask We do not admit that the state
ofthe negro slave is anything like as pictured
in Uncle Toms Cabin in any case. There
may be solitary cases approaching it in a
domination. But the Americans, abolition
lists or not. shall and will get rid of slavery
as they please themselves, and everything
done in England. either sentimentally OF
not. adds force to opposition.
Mrs. Stowe has libelled her countrymcn.
let them look to that England need not
back her with Holywell-street ignorance and
Exeter-hall cant. If she does. she willso
the wind and reap the whirlwind. Every
American in London in disguised with the
Uncle Tom mania here If he goes TO
theatre, he it insulted and shocked. The |
English people, on the other hand. are de-
luded into the falsest notions Of America.
When the slave in the dramma escapes into
British Canada. there is a cheer. That
cheer may cost US some day orr best ALI
ance. AT this moment the interests of Eng
land and America should be one. Why do
not the English ladies interfere on behalf Of I
the enslayed French people? We belieYe,
on the other hand, thai Louis Napoleon is
popular with them. If England interfere
with American slavery, she win not effect
her object. bnt the result may be. ere long. 4
that she will enslave herself We have no
patience topursue this subject further. The
book is false in fact. as the fine ladies are
false in sentiment The good and the evil
to be done by this excitement % our part
are in comparative force and reality as The
tears Of an Adelphi audience compared to
the tears Of blood that are shed By nations.
But why should it exist? Simply because
we are peace-stricken hypOcrites. Thad-
deus of Warsaw did not cause us to interA
fere on behalf Of Poland. Yet Miss Por-
ter's work was not oyetdrawn, and IN merit
how immeasurably superior to Uncle Toms
