We publish this morning An Appeal to the
Women of the Free States of America, or the
present Crisis in our Country-By Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe.n We extract it from that fero-
cious infidel abolition journal, Lloyd Garrison's
Boston Li6erator. The "appeal"is an earnest
invocation to the women of the North "to do
their duty y in arresting the extension OF South
ern slavery into the new Territories of Kansas
and Nebraska.
To the superficial reader this manifesto of
Mrs. Stowe will most likely be set down as an
individual venture upon her own responsibility,
to keep awe her public notoriety as the
authoress of Uncle Toms Cabin" and as
new advertisement in behalf of that successful
abolition romance. This, however, is very
superficial view of the subject This "appea"
is but a link in that comprehensive chain Of
4 operations between our Northern abolitionits
and the British aristocracy, the ultimate ten
denotes and objects of which are to exasperate
the anti-slavery agitation in this country to the
dissolution of this Union, and the consequent
i
naval supremacy which this republic isdestined
to achieve and to hold over all the nations OF
the earth
The late mission of Mrs. Beecher Stowe to
England-her imposing reception by the ladies
of the British aristocracy, under the auspices of
the Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Palmer
ston-her triumphant march among the aboi-
tionists all over England-the voluntary con-
tributions which were poured into her pockets
in behalf of the great cause of the abolition of
slavery in the United States-all the circum-
stances, in word, Of her receptions in Eng
land and her final departure therefrom, may be
said to establish the fact conclusvely, that the
anti-slavery societies Of our Northern States
are but the agents and instruments of the
in their grand scheme Of breaking up this
Union, and its commercial supremacy, through
the agitation Of the slavery question
The British Cabinet under the counsels of
Lord Palmerston, disclosed at once the power
and the designs Of the British aristocracy, in the
matter of those joint overtures with France
for that tripartite treaty, forever securing
the island Of Cuba against absorption by
either of the three contracting parties.
| The single object in those overtures from Eng
land and France was forever to close the door
of Cuba against the United States, by our own
consent. The annexation of Cuba to this con-
federacy would strengthen the South; whereas
the policy of disunion requires that the South
shall be crippled, weakened, and rendered more
and more subservient to domineering North
ern fanaticism till driven to the extremity Of
secession and dissolution of the Union. Hence
we find that although the tripartite treaty was
rejected by our government, the union and CO.
operation of England End France upon that i'm
.portant subject remain unaltered. The final
letter of Lord John Russell to our Secretary of
State, in fact frankly admonishes us that Eng
| land and France, without the consent of the
United States, intend to maintain the isolation
! Of Cuba against all movements whatsoever con-
templating the Incorporation of that island into
the American Union.
The late speech of Lord Clarendon Oh the
opening of Parliament, announcing the perfect
accord and harmony" between the governments
of Victoria and Louis Napoleon, in reference not
phere, appears to have alarmed somewhat the
Senate at Washington, as if this declaration in
volved the policy of newly disclosed coalition
between Louis Napoleon and the British Cabinet
But it is nothing more than the policy avowed
| by Lord John Russell upon the tripartite ques-
acknowledgement than the basis of that anti
slavery and dfsnnion policy of which the most

our Northern abolitionists- latter led on
by violent traitors and fanatics, insidious dema-
gogus, weak-headed men, and strong-minded
women.
The interests Of the Napoleon dynasty and
the British aristocracy, are, in fact, the same.
They both rest upon the feudal principles of
despotic government, as opposed to the modern
doctrines Unpopular rights. The power of Louis
Napoleon is more centralized, but it is identi-
cal with the powers of the British aristocracy
in its absorption Of the elementary rights of the
people. Upon this general principle, the
accord and harmony" between France and
England in regard to the affairs of the Old
World and the New, become perfectly rational
|. and natural. The fact that the power Of the
ls3ritish nobility is waning before the pressure
Of public opinion, only renders the necessity the
more imperative fer any alliance calculated to
resist the encroachments of popular rights upon
feudal privileges. in this fundamental view,
Louis Napoleon and the British aristocraey have
naturally entered into the coalition Of "accord
and harmony so pleasantly depicted by Lord
Clarendon.
Independently Of these considerations the
question Of the balance Of power upon this con-
tinent. Involving the maritime supr emacy of
this republic upon the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, is one Of vital Importance to the ascen-
dancy ofEngland and France among the pow
