Mrs. Stowe In Scotland.


The rcbuke which portion of the British Peo-
Pile. in the person Of Mrs. Stowe. given 10 the
Unted States, is endurable, but provoking enough
when consider tile sources whence il COMES
and the LOCALITIES also.
The British People, who hold in practical slave
ry hundred millions of human beings in India.
have no right TO abuse US, until they first set
an example Of real, Practical freedom in the
tries they govern. IL is very true. that the slave
ry existing in India not exactly ctattel sa verv
but ii is The slavery imposed by force of arms, aud
in its quenccs. in all lis bearings unore gall
ing by far than any slavery that exists IN the Uni
led States.
A People breathing the air Of Glasgow, with its
wretched couris, its miserable tenements,--its
suffering and over-crowded manufac curing popu-
lation, have no right to abuse the slavery In the
South, which provide, enough tn eat, 10 warm,
and com orlabe enough LIMITATIONS 10 dwell IN
There is no population in the South that suffers
as does the manufacturing population Of Glasgow.
The ply steal condition of slaves in the United
States viii bear ia vorable contrast with the ply
seal condition ct the labo'lng population Of any
part OF Scotland and is infinitely super Tor 10 The
condition Of the people in the northern part Of
Scotland, especially in the Hehrdes Slavery
presents no such deporabe pictures as does that
portion Of The Scottish population, who live on
these islands, aud who subsist, mainly by the fish,
cries.
The British People have tried emancipation, as
an experiment, in jamaica and the ether British
Yves, lnlia possessions. and they have harmed
the white man, without in the least lettering the
condition Of the black u,an. With the utter and
depIorahle fiiure OF this experiment, under the
very eyes of our Southern States, can it be ex-
pected that we shall ruin, depopu'ate, Danish

tcr,ns the condition of The black one
II is setedihat the white man and the black
cannot. Will not, live together in America in
state Of Equainy. No equality exists here IN
the Free States, and we have only substituted the
worst sort OF social slavery for the chatcl slavery
OF the South The negro here is kept down be-
low the condition Of Southern slave. What pro-
tit 10 humanity would there be, provided the
change were possible, that The negro exchanged
his Southern chaiiei slavery for the Northern So
ciai slavery:
The British People, dcluded by fanatical--or,
to use Il mider term, iheoreticai-nen and wo-
men. are talking and praring of what they know
nothing of. The utter, the runous, the frishifui
failure Of their Yves, India experiment, ought to
teach them something. but in the midst Of E.nai-
cism they viii not reason. Some traveller, who
had TINE, would do well 10 enter the yards and
courts Of London, Liverpool and Glasgow, and
draw contrast between our (Slave) People, and
the British (iree) People. Why, horses are bet
