ES-We notice that several sOf our south
en exchanges deHounee The advertisements
OF Uncle TOMS Cabin for sale. especially
in papers which circulate in the South
/ Now. We strongly suspect these editors Of
reading Uncle Toms Cabin, themselvess---
They write too intelligcntly abOlt it to b.,
free from suspicion. At any rate there read
ers might very naturally u5gest query or
Two.
F,r:t. How do you know that Uncle TOMS
Cabin is so bad? you certainly ought MOTTO
trust dame rumor. She is not very cred-'
liable parsonage. and should not be received
As competent witness.
Secondly. If you editors have read the
book. and have still preserved your morals
and partialism, can't oher people IN the
South also read without damage?
There is no doubt but the design and pur-
pose OF this book was TO nhame the anti
slavery furor of its readers, and the author
has sho En her talent and skill in the per-
! furmance; but in our opinion, this is about as
harmless a production in the South as We
know OF, on The same suhjec:.

pened, it would amount 10 nothing. Worse
has often happened in the world in spite of
the best Institutions of society. Elsewhere
in our paper this morning will be found n
| description Of the condition Of the poor in
n. /. city, from one of the journals ofthst
metropolis. The description is general, but
with such an outside, what borrowing scenes
would the details developl But what's to
be done-shNll we tear up the foundation Of
society, and hack he whole fabric to pieces,
aud trust 10 luck for the future?
Alasl we don't need fiction to stir up our
sympathies. The solemn truth is more ter
rlble than fiction.
1t is well, perhaps, that the world don't
know all the misery that's in it, or all would
be miserable.
But it is said the law of slavery allows
these scenes oil Uncle Toms Cabin, or at
least provides no remedy. This is not true
Of the worst scenes Of the fiction. They arc
not even allowed By lAw, much less by Gus"
tom.
