and to give another impetus to that movement,
whose ultimate object is to sever the North
from the South.
Now, we ask who is SO stupid and stolid as
to believe, for moment, that the Duchess OF
Sutherland, Lady Palmerston, or any OF the
other benevolent ladies and lords who have
taken part in the movement, care one fig for
the freedom of the negroes of the United States
four thousand miles away? If they looked at
home they would find ample scope and verge
enough for the exercise of their benevolence in
favor Of the white scrfs Of England, Scotland
and Ireland whose condition is infinitely lower
than that Of the black race of Georgia,
Louisiana, and Alabama. The poor creatures
who have been cleared of the Duke Of Suther-
lands estate in Scotland and whose humble
habitations have been levelled with the duet, so
that human dwelling cannot now be seen over
| square miles Of territory before studded with
| cottages these squalid paupers, driven away
| like so many yermin, to make room for the
| pasturage Of the brutes Of the field, more Tor

| objects of pity Tor the Duchess of Sutherland.

inspired writer, if we love not our brethren
whom we have seen, how can we love him
| whom we have not seen? Where is the evil
| dence of their philanthropy for the thousands
of the people Of India who are compelled to
sell themselves into slavery for food the fruits
| of the soil being swept away by the East India
| Company and the British aristocracy? Was it
pure benevolence that prompted the emancipa-
| ton ofthe slaves Of Jamaica, in which the oligar
chy of England took sodistinguishcd apart? Was
it out of sympathy for these negroes that twenty
millions of pounds we're paid for their ransom
By no means. Clarkson and Wilberforce were
laboring for years in that cause. Nobody
minded them till it was discovered that the
| interests Of the East India planters and nabobs
| might be served at the expense or even the
destruction of the West Indies The British
aristocracy, who are so intimately identified
with the East Indies, got the bill passed to set
the negros free. The measure had not the de-
sired effect; but such was the intention. The
same aristocracy now want to accomplish
similar object in this country. They want to
| destroy it for their own benefit, and in order
| to maintain the supremacy of commerce
| which has hitherto upheld their dominion.
They see very clearly that if the nation
| for few years longer make the same
rapid progress which she has hitherto done,
the Union Jack will be eclipsed all over the
world by the shadow OF the Stripes and Stars.
The order of hereditary nobility, the law OF
primogenitnre. and oil the appurtenances Of
| British rule would then be in imminent danger,
and the democracy of Old England woald begin
to lift up their heads to see the signs of ap-
| preaching tdemption.
How is all this to be prevented, or, at least, how
is the evil day to be STAYED off to a more remote
future How is the progress Of this country to
| be arrested 1t cannot be done openly, for we
are too strong for external assault. Internal
| operations are the game. We have one weak
spot. 1t is slavery There they have foot
hold, and there they have for allies the domestic
foes Of the Union. Their object is to separate
the North from the South. If this were only
| effected, the South would no longer hold any
communion with the North. Such would be the
bitter feeling that it would rather deal with
England than with any Northern State; and the
North being actuated by the same feeling Of
hostility to the South, and many of its inhabi-
tants cherishing kindred sentiment with Eng
land. on the slavery question, English inter-
course would be preferred to Southern; and thus
the British would enjoy monopoly of the trade
Of both North and South This is the secret plan
Of the British government secret policy OF
the aristocracy.
The question now arises, how is all this to be
met? We answer, by starting societies here for
the abolition of English monarchy and aristo-
crazy. This is the abolition that is wanted and
John Mitchell is The very man to lead it. Let
organizations be set on foot, uniting every Irish
Scotch and English republican in the country
and every American who is willing to embark
in the enterprise. Let addresses be got up to
| the people of England and to the British Par
Lament, and let them be printed here, and sent
by every steamer, for circulation. If the House
| of Lords and the House Of Commons will not
read them, the people will and that is much
better. Let lecturers be sent over who will ex-
hibt the resources. the progress, and the go-
rious freedom of this country. The light of
example will guide to imitation, and the
| public sentiment Of Great Britain win be revo-
lutionized. She will become confedcrated
republic Of four States England, Scotland
Wales, and Ireland; or, if Ireland should prefer
t, that gem ofthe ocean can set up for herself
and have no connexion whatever with England.
This is the true and only way for ehecting the
legislative independence Of the Irish people.
