Uncle TOMS Cabin,
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. I

human traffic Nor can we forget that it i,
chiefly encouraged by the British nation now
We receive the stolen goods The Brighte
and Cobdens Of the present day were actual
slave owners but a few years ago They are
indirect slave owners now, and what they
are as white taskmasters, let Oastler and
Farrand tell the indignant generation that is
sprlnglng up, inheritors of their evil deeds
For the age of humbug must cease, or the
reign of England must be over Let these
silly dames from her Grace of Sutherland
down to Mrs, Barry Cornwall Proctor, be
taught these things
Here let us observe, that this is not the
voice of English women any more than dra-
matised Uncle Toms Cabin is the voice Of
English men. And before anybody Of Brit
lsh matrons or maids shall dare to send over
their hollow coincidence, or their trashy SYM
pathies, to the maids and matrons of the
United States, we would pray for an enquiry
into their individual lives and conduct, to
see whether they are fit persons to communi-
cate any expression of national feeling
granting for moment that it is national
feeling, and not spurious effort at notoriety
on the part Of few idle aristocrats and med
ding blue-stockings, leavening with score
of Mrs. Nicklebys, scarcely to be held re-
sponsible for their folly. Before they thus
stand conspicuously forward as philanthropy
lists, we should like to know whether, as
wives and mothers, and daughters, they have
no blot On their character, no stain on their
conduct. Are they all without reproach in
their homes? Are they all respected and
beloved by their servants, their tenants their
tradesmen, and their friends? Have they
individually shown pety and goodwill? Are
they true sisters of charity and mercy? Are
none Of them scandalmongers and mischief
makers, odious at once, both in the domestic
circle and social throng! If this can be all
well established in their favor, then have
they right to speak publicly-in a better
cause. Yet, again, why do not these women,
if they must be busy, contribute, like the
Roman women Of old, to the defences of their
country! The day may come when they
shall even be sorry not to have done so.
To return to Uncle Toms Cabin, it is
true that we derive it from an American
woman. To her people she is accountable,
let not us be her sponsors. What picture
might be drawn of England for Americans
to hail with rapture, read, dramatise, weep
over, and memorable upon, were Sloane
given as the type of the British bar. or the
man who roasted live cat the other day in
presence of his wife and friend, as a fair
sample of the middle classes Thus Con-
non, the sweep, might represent the feeling
of the lower classes. Mr. Oliveira the Dig
nifty Of the House of Commons; Mr. Prynne
should be sample Of our Church; Lord
Frankfort Of the nobility. In this manner,
what truthful. pleasant novel might be
composed to present an English parallel to
the social phenomena exhibited in such at
tractive, because revolving, Details in that
most successful and heart-rending publica-

A circumstances once befel two friends OF

whom both entertained friendly sentiments.
In spirit Of frolic one of the young la

Judging the moment favorable for making
known their state Of feelings to the fair one,
changed seats at the same instant and placed
themselves, as they supposed, by the lady 3
side. Each gently took as he fondly suppos-
ed, the soft little hands of the charmer; and
each was enraPtured to find tender pressure
rapidly assuming the character of an unmis-
takabl squeeze. Some moments flew in this
agreeable interchange of sentiment, and it
is fair to presume that both heads and hearts
were reached, when the lady of the house be-
coming suspicious from the unusual silenc oil
her friends, suddenly re-lighted the lamp and
discovered the two gentlemen, love and de-
light beaming from their-eyes, all absorbed
in the noveIrecreation of squeezing each 9TH

A Busy PAY DAY.-A profigate young
fellow, son of a lawyer of some eminence in
Rhode Island on certain muster day purchas.
ed horse of an ignorant farmer, and engaged
to pay it on the next inspection day. He
gave note; but instead OF inspection he in
serted esurrection--making it payable on the
resurrection!
When the inspection day had come and the
far1 unsuspicious of the trick, supposed
the note to be due, he called on the young
man for payment. The latter expressed
great as.onishment that he should call on him
before the note was out.
But it is out said the farmer; you prom
ised to pay me the next inspection day; the
time was come and want my money!
If you will look at the note again. said the
young man, you will find it has very long
while to run yet
The farmer was sure the note was DIVE, or
ought to be; but on spelling over carefully,
he found to his establishment, that it was not
due till the resurrection day. He remonstra-
ted with the Young scape-grace; but all to no
purpose, and he finally laid the case before his
father the LAWYER. The latter took his son
aside, and told him he had better settle the
thing at once. ..
For,' said he, though the pay day is far
distant you are in a fair way to have business
enough on your hands that day without hav-
ing your notes to SETTLE The advice was
taken.

e. &c ; The mail contracts in New York and
New England, are said to have been let at
an advance of rs per cent. This is certainly
a most singular circumstance; when the fp-
cilties for carrying the Mails in those sections
are greatly increased. Within the last
5years, the expense of mail service has de-
creased from one to five hundred per cent. in
both New York and New England, owing to
their being carried by railroads and steam
boats, instead Of the old coach system. 1t
appears most extraordinary, that when the
facilities for performing mail service are SO
greatly increased. it should become necessary
to double the pay. Is there no favoriteism
about this'matter, or were the contracts let to
the lowest responsible bidder!

and resolution:
As there is misunderstanding Of the views
of Unitarian christians on important subjects
it is deemed proper to make some declaration
in reference thereto.
Resolved, That we regard Jesus Christ no,
as a mere inspired man, but as the Son Of
Gcd--the messenger Of the Father to men,
miracu ously sent-the mediator between
God and Mantle Redeemer of the world.
That we regard the miracles of the New
Testament as facts OH which the Gospel is
based.
