s.Bul Ahe Ne Stowe rtaps rich harvest TO her

the harers Of her country abroad, her cuuntrymen
find that for lhem she has achieved much more harm
than good"
The above rs an extract from the Hgis Of the 23d
inst, in relation 10 'sUacie Toa'' and it's amhor.
We have ,iseu had .,ccasion, Cnrmeriy notice and
expose the s.4hislry OF our neigbbor; aud perhaps
it may Seem stperhuous ecw, seriously review the
py~lec,inns Of so incorigihIe sophis,; but when
we emember that the l"gc Of the Bgis on his sub.
lect, is the lgic Of ali the hmkers and doughaces in
the couatrY, aud has bAnefd influence on the mo,
arity Il the naliuu, we think il incumbent TO
strip Of the Aimsy disguise thrown such logic,
by our neighbours rhetoric, and expose it in its
colexs.
WIS Suwe reaps rich reward at home;" says
orr nrighbor. He means that Uncle TOMS Cabin
IS a prn6lable hoax, in pecuniary point Of view,
aud that the authors share Of the proceeds sis
rich harvest" We suppose ueighhor has =
more correct appreciation of "goden harvest"
than Of hat moral harvest which the true
woman reaps, from the consciousness Of doing right
Mrs Stowe has reaped pIrnitul harvest OF abuse,
fr IN bunker critics and bunker disclaimers, aud we
rejoice To think that she is reaping rich harvest Of
compensation in the way that must afflict her
mics most The success Of the book IN a business
point Of view, turmemts their envious souls as much
its faithful pictures Of slavery make them vince.
We thankfully admit, therefore, that the book pays.
The Egis saws, secondly, that Mrs Stowe is
''gloii6ed by the haters Of her country abroad, and
that her countrymen abroad, suffer from her writings.
Now lhis is not true statement. Ii is specous
falsehoud. Who are the persons who gorIfy Mrs
Stow? The Earl ol Carlisle, the Duchess OF Suth
triand, and The women Of Great Britain. Are they
the haters o America, or Americans! Has the ed
lor Of he Egis ever read Lord MOI perh't obsersa
lious and impressions Of America and Americans?-
II he has, will be puint ou page Of them that
written ia spnii of hared2
We challenge neighbor 10 find the least tine
ture Of the spirit Of hatred even in the much reycd
"AddeSss, CT the Women of England to their
sisters 81 America" Does the Ksis mean 10 as
re thst because a is hatel OF slavery he
must therefore be a haIer Of America and Ameri-
cans2 Mrs Stowe is an American, and yet she is to
be received in London and Glasgow with respect and
admiration. The municipal governments Of London
and Glasgow, we beg TO remind our neghbor, pro.
tested against the war which was waged in ITS
against the American colonies Ly Great Britain; and
the spirit of friendship which then existed
still prevails in those great commercial cities TO-
wards Country.
Ii is not against Americans that any hatred is felt
in Europe; it is against despols who hold men as
chatiels personal, and who hold ratons beneath the
iron heel Of oppression. Ii an American in Europe,
like republican, disavows all sympathy with
the crime oi slavery, he will be respected and be-
loved, and no odium will attach to him; but IL he
terms, and that his patriotism compeIs him to as.
sumo tue moral responsibility which lies on all who
cOUnIeRance slavery, il is no wonder If he finds him
self an Otjfct Of scnrn and contempt, amongs' men
who have been taught to CONSIDER liberty and A er-
lea as synonymous terms.
No true American suffer from an exposure of
Southern Slavery William Graft, an American,
Helen Graft, an American, Harriet Beecher Stowe,
an American, George Sumner, Charles Sumner,

leans, can bear testimony that there is no haued
felt towards America in Europe, because she is
America. There is, however, thank Gcd, hatred
Of Slavery which we hope will always prevail, how.
ever much Inconvenience IL may impose upon the
hypocri,es who wear broad phyacieres with the
word Freedom written on them, but who justify and
sustain the slavery Of their own countrymen.
