A Mistake.

The Macon (Georgia) Citizen charges the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post, with be-
ing an abolition print, and is alarmed about its
40, 900 copies circulated at the south. Quiet
your fears, Mr.. Citizen. The Post never says
anything against southern institutions. For
all it ever says against the enslovement of
southern Americans, it might as we'll be a
hitching, or a lamp post, as the post it is. 1t
is too wise and prudent for that It publishes
very interesting novclets, very fine poetry, funny
or risks its reputation by mcrting the charge
of being an "aboliton print" II is slandcr,
Mr. Citizen, and We hope you will take 1t back.

Sou;herners, wont hurt your institution one

British Intervention.

Lord John Russell has written to Sir Henry
Bulwer, instructing him to interfere in behalf
of the Madiai. The letter conludcs as follows:
"As this is a matter affecting Tuscan sub
jcct, it may be said that Her Majesty's Govern
ment have no right to interfere. If this means
that interference by force of arms would not
be justifable, confess nt once that nothing but
the most extreme case would justify such in
reference
But if it be meant that Her Majesty has
not the right to point out to friendly sover-
cign .hc arguments which have prevailed in
the most civilized nations against the use of
the civil sword to punish religious opinions, I
entirely deny the truth of such an allegation.
You arc, therefore, instructed to speak in
the most serious tone to the Minister Of For.
eign Affairs, and lay before him oil the consid.
era'ions stated in this dispatch. You will do
it in the most friendly tone, and take care 20
assure the government to which your arc &C.
credited. that none are more sincere in their
wishes for the independence and happiness of
Tuscany, than the Queen of Great Britain"
am, &c. ]. RUSSELL.
DO not the same reasons exist for interference
in behalf of Americans, who by millions arc
imprisoned, scourgcd and tortured, to prevent
the enlightenment of their consciences, or to
prevent obedience to its dictates. We rejoice
in this fraternal intervention by and for whom
soover made. We hope great Britain will not
confne her interference to sufferers in weak
and defenceless Italian State, but will also ex-
tend 1t to her more prosperous, but equally
criminal neighbors.
