The longer we look at this subject (slave-
ry) the more fully we are convinced that
the best friends of the slave are the dwell
lers in his own South. In that South are
those who received him poor naked say
age, fresh from Africa and the horrors of
the middle passage ; they have clothed him,
fed him, visited him in sickness, have taken
charge Of his children in infancy, and pro-
vided for him in helpless old age have
taught him Saviour's name, and been in
strumental in shedding abroad in his heart
SaviouI's love, and preparing for him
crown and a kingdom in Heaven A whole
nation of his people have grown up here,
and, under the genial influence of Southern
homes, they have been elevated from bar
barism to civilization and christianization,
with rapidity and to an extent to which
history shows no parallel. A part OF his
people have gone back to Africa, bearing
with them the priceless treasure of the Cos
pel-a compensation ample for all their
hardships; more of them are going to join
those already there; others are to 30, and
what is to be the final result will be known
perhaps in that day when ETHIOPIA shall
stretch forth her hands to God la all this
process of eleyating in the mass a whole peo-
pie from barbarism, whose hands have piled
the lever but those of Southern men -
Who have had the responsibility, care, vex-
alton, expense, even to the impoverishment
OF their lands and their families, but the
people Of the South We believe that God
IN his providence is working out mighty
wonder for Africa's sons, both in their own
and in this land, through what for the time
seems an evil, and that the final develop
ment will be full Of joy and gladness; and
the results will then be traced to their right
sources, when Uncle Toms Cabin shall have
crumbled to the dust, and Mrs. Stoves
name, her silver salver, and her British ban
quets are remembered no more

The new number of the London Quarter
ly Review gives the following as the present
state Of the search for Sir John Franklin ::
Sir E. Beleher is engaged in a survey Of
Wellington, while Capt. Kellett is probably
safely anchored in Winter Harbor, the old
quarters Of Parry. Each has well-stored
ship, with an attendant steamer; while the
North Star, within reach, no doubt, of par
ties from either vessel remains in Frankin's
harborage at Becky Island On the Pa
ciic side, the Plover we may presume has
advanced to Point Borrow. We have no
intelligence of Mcclure, since, under press
of canvass, he stood for the pack ice off ley
Cape, in August 1850; nor from Collinson
since he passed Behring's Straits, in July
Of the following year Our Consul at Pan
anna, indeed writes that Colinson had been
spoken by some whalers, bat without de-
tails; we know not what credit is to be at
tached to the report Mcclure supposed he
should be able to reach England by way of
Barrow's Straits, sometime in this year.
either by navigating his vessel through the
unknown sea which stretches north Of the
American continent, or by quitting his ships
and making for Melville Island or some point
nearer home. Stirring tidings of some kind
will, most likely, reach US in the course Of
