A Fortune TO be Disposed of.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, we are in
formed by general report, has made at least
$50, 900 by the sale, in New England alone,
of her exceedingly truthful and philanthro-
pic work, Uncle Toms Cabin This is
very satisfactory-to Mrs. Stowe and her
friends at the North and in England The
next question is what Mrs Stowe is going to
do with this and other snug little sums She
has gathered so rapidly and so slillfully.-
She cannot keep them for herself-certainly
no one Will accuse person, who has shown
so benevolent spirit and SO benefcient a
nature for the whole of mankind. Of any
selfish motives or love of the filthy trash
called money. Now what viii Mrs. Stowe
do with this sum? VIII she send it to the
poor peasants On the Dutchess OF Souther-
lands Scotch estates, who were forcibly driv-
en- from their old, ancestral homes to starve
and perish on the sea-coast or will she
purchase handsome property near Boston,
and there pass the rest Of her days in re-
fecting on the good she has done for poor
suffering humanity.
! On further reflection, we are of the opin-
ion that Mrs Stowe intends spending ali
Of the money she has ever received and
ever viii receive, from Uncle Toms Cab
in,'' in freeing unhappy negroes in these
Southern States, and sending them to the
Desert OF Sahara to cultivate the numerous
vacant lots which are said to abound there.
| The Dutchess of Switzerland, we may well
believe Will enter actively into this scheme,
and prove to the women of America that if
she knows how TO ruin white men and wo-
men ard starve white children, she knows
better how to cherish negroes and nourish
little black pickaninncs.
We commend the following extract from
the foreign correspondence OF the Newark
Daily 'Advertiser' to the attention and
deep reflection OF Mrs Stowe and her friends.
The letter is dated Dresden, Saxony. Jan'y
9th:
"a few weeks ago, at the annual fair in
Dresden, one of the greatest curiosities of
the day was Il negro woman with LARGE
iron ring in her nose. represented as a fugi-
tive from slavery. She was pictured upon
the outside of the building chained by the
ring, and a driver, holding long whip in
his hand, standing by. The admittance was
about FIVE cents United States currency
Thousands flocked to see her, in order to
gather from life an idea Of American slave
ry. 1t was a good speculation for the exhib-
itor. whose name / was not able to learn
| understand the above forms a travelling
exhibition, making tour Of the whole of
Europe. This expedition, pretending to
represent the cruelties Of American slavery.
together with extreme piety, as represented
in Uncle Tom, and the superiority of intel
lect, as represented in Eliza and George Of
Uncle Toms Cabin" are creating a uni
versal feeling Of hatred among the masses
Of Europe against the republican govern
meut of the United States And monarch
lists are taking advantage of it through the
newspapers to add fuel to the fire, to over
whelm that spark of independence which
was kindled through the whole OF Europe
in 184S-49
Would not Mrs Stowe do well to seek
out the whereabouts Of this fugitive with the
iron ring in her nose and settle on her
handsome sum for her admirable living IL
lustration Of tho beauties Of 'Uncle Tom S
Cabin?" This is due to the fugitive and to
the iron ring, for their efficient agency in
rousing the Europeon sovereigns and people
to the iniquities of the republican govern
ment Of the United States" Mrs Stowe
ought certainly 20 receive from the Emperor
Of Russia, King of Prussia, Emperor of Aus
tria &c, &c, &c, the gold medal of the or-
der Of the "Great american Hunl5ug"
