The following extract Of letter from one Eng
lish lady to another written about year since and
without the least view to publication, shows how
an educated, earnest and religious woman looks
upon the system Of American Slavery, and upon
those in high places who are giving it their sup
port.

this remark, 4 have met with but hco geIlena"
among all the Americans have seen, LongfelloW
and Dir. Palfrey of Boston. The latter, though
not wealthy man, has with some difficulty and
expense emancipated the slaves which were his
only patrimony. The former confessed that Amcrl-

to the men in power. How true is this remark,
and how very few exceptions do we find to 1t! lu-
deed is it generally, the that it is the com

titles? No American that have ever seen

Let ministers and members of churches band to-
gether against slavery and the great dragon must
! fall. | am ashamed to see, iii some of the
English papers, so much trash on this subject, as
though there could be any parallel drawn between
negro slavery in the United States and the condi-
ton Of any class IN England, however poor and
degraded. Besides, zee acknowledge that we are
guilty concerning our BROTHER that we have much
to mend, and we are trying 20 set it all right, and
not disappearing by bringing forth the word OF cd,
and saying that IN IT we find sanctions aud COM
mands for these evils. Oh, their offence is rank,

THE REV. Dr. StItts AND HIS Mission. Some
time past, Dr.. Stiles passed through the South as
agent Of the American Home Missionary Society,
whose object said to be the spread of the Cos
pei among Southern hcdtheR of both European and
African origin? This agent, we believe, was here
and at Columbus, Montgomery &c, preaching and
collecting funds in aid Of his mission. On his re-
turn to Connecticut he made report to the Cen
eral Association Of Connecticut" which resulted
in the following resolution being adopted:
ResoIrcd, that while we have heard the statement
of Dr. Stiles with much interest and high respect
for himself and with desire to cooperate with
all that we deem wise efforts to extend the Gospel
Of Christ, yet that this body regards the American
Home Missionary Society correct in its position
not to grant aid to slaN NeholdinG missionaries.
After this we hope that the Southern churches
and people will allow this Abolition American
Home Missionary Society" to take care Of the
Gospel wants of their own heather north of Mason
and Dixcns line. Such hypocrites should never
have been permitted to interfere with the duties
appertaining to Southern Christians, - Georgia CT
