The true Democrat., 1856-10-28
Mrs. Stowe and Queen Victoria.

The following piece of intelligence, says the Washington Union, appears in a conspicuous place in last Saturdays issue of the New York Times
 "It has been stated that the Queen refused to see Mrs. Stowe on her first visit to England, lest it should give offence to the slaveocracy of the south; but whether there was any truth in the statement or not, her Majesty seems to have got bravely over her fears of our southern brethren. If she was afraid of the authoress of Uncle Tom, she has no dread of the author ess of Dred. The Edinburgh Witness says:
 "Among those assembled on Thursday morning at the Kings Cross Terminus, to wit ness the departure of the royal family for Scotland was Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.- On the arrival of the royal party, Mrs. Stowe took the opportunity of presenting, through Colonel Gray, her new work, Dred, in two vol- umes, just hot from the press On learning that the fair authoress was present, both her Majes- ty and Prince Albert came forward and gave her gracious and friendly recognition accept ing the book with evident pleasure.'
 No writer, native or foreign, has done more to place the people and the institutions of the United States in false light, and to make the l rrodden masses of despotic Europe, than Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Men of piety and of patriotism have assigned her position from which she cannot escape by any amount of in- cense that may be offered to her in England or Scotland. We are not surprised that at the appearance of each successive islander upon her country and countrvmen she should fly to England for countenance and commendation ; and her Majesty evinced her characteristic tact in giving so gracious reception to an ally so effective. The sympathies of Mrs. Stowe and her admirers on both sides of the Atlantic ap- pear to be wholly governed by color. With the imaginary wrongs and hardships of a well-fed, well-clothcd, we'll cared for, and pc culiarly happy class of people in this country, their affected sympathies-for we cannot con- ceive them to be real-are entirely enlisted, and for no other apparent motive than the ob- jects of their tender solicitudes have crisp hair and black skins. For the wrongs, and injustice, and suffering, and brutal treatment endured by uoia,te men and aohite women, the English and | or shrek to offer.
 London paper of late date informs the world of Aminadab Seeks that a more brutal place of inhumanity than the English work house never disgraced men, especially govern- ment officials, and thus gives the evidence which came before the board of examination:
 "Mary Ann Sullivan, aged 19 She was in the laundry department. She was ordered by one of the officials to remove heavy box, which was entirely beyond her strength In consequence of her not being able to perform this duty, she was first locked up in the cell fer So many hours, without food or water, that she was entirely famished, and, upon being called out in her weak and exhausted state, and unable to move, she was dragged out by the hair of her head and beat;n with cane shametully. The bruteS, by the names of Ky an, brown and Green, officers in the workhouse, attended to this particular duty. She was on the ground quarter of an hour, and was bea- ten all tic time: one of these specimens of hu- manity holding her down by the hair The evidence says he was struck over the face and back so as to draw blood Immense bruises were on her person, by kicks from Brown anI Green, as well by blows from the cane and whip in their hands.
 "Elizabeth Edwards, aged 19 deposed that she was beaten by Brown certain occasion; her back was waled,' and she was attended by the house surgeon, who had to administer washes for it..
 Sophia Howard, aged Is, deposed that for mpudent language she dragged to the store-room aud thrown down by the men Ryan and Redirom; Green and Brown were sent for, and they all, with woman named Parker gave her slashes across the back with a cane;' the skin of her face was broken and bled free ly, her head was swollen and sore, and her bo- dy covered with bruises Several days illness followed. Several other girls were examined with like results; and the testimony of Char lotte Garrod, female who was ordered to make careful inspection of the bruises, cuts and wales, on the bodies of the girls, says they are badly marked across the back and loins- black, blue, and red-and one or two of them with terrible blows, which no ordinary punish mcnt could have inflicted"
