Leave it to the women of the South 10 alleviate
the sufFarings of their dependents, while you
take care Of your own. The negro Of the South
lives sumptuously in comparison with the lOO,-
600 of the white population in London. He is
clothed warmly in winter, and has his meat
twice daily, without stint of bread Have your
working men, women and children, as well
clothed and as well fed, and then 60 to the serfs
of Russia, and the negroes Of America. No,
recant the advice To the serls of Russia you
will not go. That is an European affair, the
affair of a high and imperial monarch, and of a
rich and powerful aristocracy. The poor serf
may toll and labor, and stretch his heart strings
until they crack in agony, and yet the noble la
dies of England will express no sympathy for
him. and present no address to their sisters of
Russia upon the subject of serldom. You will
in no event disturb yourselves with the past,
present, or future condition of the serf The
newspaper press would admonish you of tie
danger of interfering in that quarter. and the
Emperor Nicholas will so unques. .ioned as to

I return to your subject--thS state of slavery in
our Southern States-and tell you, that you
are mistaken in suppoSlpg that the Southern
heart is different from your own in its sympa-
thies and emotions. Believe me, that the hu-
nau heart is quite as susceptible with us, as
with you. Moralists and dealers In fiction,
may arIfully outdraw and give false coloring, as
they are licensed to do; but be not deceived into
the belief, that the heart of man or woman, on
this side of the Atlantic, is either more obdu-
rate or cruel, than on yours. There is no reason
then. why you should leave your fellow subjects
in misery al home, in order to take your seat BY
the side of the black man on the plantations of
America. Even If you are horror-stricken at
the highly cOlored picture OF human distress IN
cident to the separation of husband and wife,
and parents, and children under our system of
negro slavery--a thing by the way, of rare occur
renee among us, and then attended by peculiar
clrcumstances--ycu have no occasion to leave
your own land for similar, and still harsher
and more unjust exercise of authority. Go, and
arrest the proceedings of your admiralty

For another subject quite as fruitful OF sym,
pathy. need only refer you ID the condition
of ireland, with It's population but recently
starving for food, viii ich was freely supplied
from our granaries, an,l at this moment cra-
wing mercy from avaricio,s landlords, who to
exteno the area of grazing lands, are leveling
their humble cottages to the ground, and SEN
ding them forth to die upon the public high
ways. Women of Englsnd go tbither with
your tender charities. There, on the roadside,
sinks an attenuated and exhausted mother, still
straining her perishing child to her bre asst
while the unhappy husband and father, himself
foodless and raimentless, sheds drops of agony
over the heart-rendng scene. Spare, one drop
of your suPerabounding sympathy, to pour into
that bitter cup which IS overruning with sor-
row and with tears. Poor. suffering, down

Celtic race be driven by starvation, from the
