The may number Of the Southern Ladies'
hook, edited and published at New Orleans by
Mrs Virginia l.. French, contains the follow
ing seathing dcnunciation Of Mrs. Harriet Bee

one article alone should secure for the Soutl,.
ern Ladies' hook tho support Of every man
and woman in the South:
MISS fREprRlxA BKExrR. will pain many

We copy the above from one of our ahlcst

Homes in the New World" Although she
ls9jonrnc'l for some time in New Orleans. Mo.
bile, &c, she had hut little opportunity of
studying the 'institution" Of slavery as Il OK.
lists throughout tho Southern States. She
never spent day upon cotton farm, or visit.
cd sugar plantation, but her principal know
ledge Of slavery, is of its most degraded
character, rs it exists in Cuba. Whether she
will take 1t for granted that we arc all alike,
and put upon MS tho o,lium attached to our
Cuban ncghbors remains To be seen. We nrc
panied to sec the name of one whom wc have
loved from earliest childhood, sullictl by n con-
nection with one, rccrcant in religion and II
traitress to her country. Tho name of Bcnc-
dict Arnold is branded to all coming time, his
memory is that of traitor and his cpitaph
living curse; but no cpitlict can be found in
the language OF man fitted to scar the name of
Harriet Bccchcr Stowe. AS woman, she
has unscxcd hcrsclG,-as an advocate, she has
stopped to falsehood,-as witness, she has
periured hcrsclf,--as mother, left obloQuy to
her childrcn,-as sister in one great national
family, vilcly sandcrcd her own sistcr,-and
MS M American, eSpatriatesi herself by her
own act She has thrown firc.brand into
the homes of her own people, which she de-
signed should set at nought tho great measures
of peace and unity, which cost our beloved
and vcncratcd statesman, the mastcr-spirit of
the age, five years Of his natural life! True,
such means rs she has used may never be able
to overthrow the tree of our Liberty, or sap
the foundations Of the temple of our Union
yet we would do well to remember that the
pure souls are on times sullicd by the yilcst
agencies; that the fall Of the whole human
race, that "Sin, the wages of which is Death"
came into the world by the influence of a rep
tile, the very lowest Of the Creeping things
OF the earth" An old lady friend, possessing
much knowledge of the world, once remarked
to us" There's much fewer mean women
than men, in this world child, but when once
woman IS mean, bless you, honey, the men
amt circumstance to 'em for meanncss /"
Probably she was correct. Arnold was n
traitor, hut the trcachcry Of Mrs Stowe is n
thousand times moro black and bitter: the
guilt of the former was tho revenge of de-
lcatcd ambition, that Of the latter is the cold
venom of nature naturally and irrsmcdiably
vile.
