Another Uncle Toms Cabin"

ANN =
We see 1T announced that Harriet Beecher
stowe has written another abolition Novel.
entitled bred: A Tale of the Great Dis
mai Swamp" We have not seen a copy of
the work, but it is pronounced by those
who have read it, abolition calumniators.
OF course superior to Uncle Tom in breadth
of conception, in development Of character
and principles, and in the Overwhelming
power and interest in the Story" All of
which means, we suppose, that the living
AuthOress has drawn more extensively than
in the former instance upon her corrupt and
slanderous fancy, and dealt less in truth and
reality-that she has vilifed and grossly
misrepresented those whom she processes to
delineate-and that she has added another
stain of prostitution to her Infamous charac-
ter, sinking her beneath the contempt of the
vile herd of stolen runaways from the South,
whom she is SO fond of taking to her foul
embrace.
That precious Abolition sheet, the Phila-
delphia " Saturday Evening Post" which
is patronized SO extensively in the South, Ito

ter fromRthis Forthcoming lieing Novel, as a
specimen of its power and excellence, from
which we make an extract. The chapter
seems to be a c~olloquy between a regular
| fre-eating, Sharpe rife abolitionist, called
3 Clayton, and a ~cowardly lick spittle Of a yam
kee, y'clept Frank Russell, who agrees with
his companion in sentiments of hatred to the
! South and her institutions, yet for the sake
o of promotion and money he deems it wisest
to keep it to himself and make a show of will
g lingness to do justice to our rights. We in
d troduce this extract, because it relates to our
e own State, to some extent, as a specimen of
the truthfulness of the work
Now" said Clayton, If for nothing
s, else, five had no feeling of humanity for the
lie slave, we must do something for the sake of
the whites, for this is carrying US back into

ons Passing by as unworthy of notice the Ii
