Sin: Having noticed the arrival in London of
Mrs. Stowe, and desircus of making proposition
to her, and knowing the difficulty who simple
American Sister Temporarily resident in the me-
tropolis, would encoupterin gaining access tosthe
lordly mansion whose inequalities she at present
enjoys, and, moreover, considering that the
Times is alike welcome at the palace and the
cottage, venture beg small place in your coll
umns as my medium
have seen it stated that the stwenty-six folio
volumes, with the illuminated address, which
was so lately sent 10, the women of America, con-
tains the signaturestof 562,s4S English women,
each one of whom, we must presume, was earnest
in her wish to persuade us TO do what they claim
to be right. Now, it would be very unkind and
wicked in us 10 doubt for moment the true phi
lanthropy of our ENGLISH sisters, aud that philan-
thropy you will cknowledge, must be very shah
by which ends in words. Now, what propose is
this that the various places which were so Lharita-
ably opened to receive the signatures of this army
OF ladies', be again opened, and each lady wi ich
has so kindly given her mime should be requested
10 call again, and subscribe As. 3D., which makes
our American dollar. This sum, so trfing that
no lady who could afford to give her name can for
amoment hesitate to contribute, will, in the ag-
gate, make more than half million of dollars
There are several of our State Governments
which contribute varionsly from $4,000 to $4,000
per annum to remove our colored brethren to
Liberia, to the enjoyment aud privileges of free
and enlightened government of then own. The
expense of such removal is S25 for child, and
500 for an adult. Now, if these philanthropic
ladies, who have so kindly given their advice, will,
with their advice give each her dollar, the sum
will remove from ftbitter thraldom'' TO free
country, either II, o57 adults or % 514 children!-
L know this is a small figure in comparison with
the 100000 of our ensaved brethren !; but,
nevertheless, 22,514 human souls is great army.
Will not, then, these ladies, headed by their
lllustrous leaders, each send this trife to the
places above designated, to be forwarded to Mrs.
Stowe, TO he by her handed over 10 the Rev. Wm.
McLain, OF - ashington, the most excellent and
efficient Secretary of the American Colonization
Society. TO be applied to the purposes Of the
society,"
1t is we'll know fact that in the States there
are always more manumited negroes waiting to be
taken to Liberia thanthere are funds in the TreaSu
~ of the Colonization Society to devote to that
purpose. notice that in the comparatively small
State of Maryland (Which has lately sent out
lar9e party to Liberia (there now sixty persons
waiting for the means to carry them TO the colony,
and this notwithstanding the State appropriations
and the donations and legasies OF the benevolent
IN our country. u.. - t5.,.asT5i
l will venture to assure the ladies' who so kind
ly interested themselves in our behalf, that their
advice, backed promptly by their active charity,
will do much towards opening hitherto, unbeiev-
ing ears to their moving appeals as well as loosng
heavy burdens and letting the captive go free.
As 1perceive that Mrs. Stowe has already had
several sums placed ct her disposal for kindred
purposes, presume she will gladly be the almo-
ner of the bounty of these English sister, thus in
some little measure compromising to one class of
her countrymen for the false impressions she has
made, andthe i'll blood she has stirred (unwitting-
ly, we will hope towards another sifse4
TO show that this proposal is made in good faith,
l enclose my card; and, though Mrs. Stowe may
not recognize the name, the Professor will not fail
TO remember it as the same with that of the New
England clergyman who, lang syne, gave him the
helping halld,' and directed his then youthful
steps Tito the paths of learning which he has since
SO successfully and honestly pursued.
