But he did not tell US that since the British
emsncipat on act England had been cofnpsiisd
to patronize Amerosnslave labor in order to
compete with American manufacturers ot cotton
goods; he saId nothing Of the surp.us poPuia-,

and Manchester, who were continually trench1

St. Cries; he forgot to tell Us that poverty, pau
perism and starvation were continually forcing
the Iabofiny classes Of Great Britain INTO the
commission of crime, and that to suppress re-
volts and prevent instructions, band OF spies
and iniotncrs, the hired pensioners Of the Bril-
tish Government, were proving around ey-
erv manufacturing district on the British island.
No these were unwelcome facts to present to
an American audience and therefore they Hare

! and now mark what followed. Upon his arri-

to his absence in this country, 1t ,cQs Gettarea

which leaves the public to infer that he had been
absent on business for the British Gov gHmentl
Wezwin now leave this champion Of sdedom,
and examine the fruits Of his mission to this
country. Long before George Thompson pla-
ced his foot on American SOIL the people OF this
country and more especially those OF the East-
ern States, were friendly to the abolition Of sla-
verv but TO resolution had been adopted in
1 49,, nssVIn
troduced into Congress, to destroy the fellow
ship between the slave and non-slayeholding
States-the North and South lived in aIiity
together Like the shadow Of cloud passing
over the sun, slavery was gradually receding
from the North, leaving no trace behind II
was abolished in the State Of New York with
out disturbing in the least the equahimity OF
public feeling; and its abolition in New Jersey
has been so gradual, so easy and gentle, that no
one can tell when it died. butin5 both cases It
was abolished by Americans without tho assis-
tance of British orators to ntame the minds OF
one particular part of the community against
the other. tEsr. -gs.B a.5AF.
But in what relation to this country does ths
Abolitionist of 1856 appear? What is their po-
siton before the public? Let their speeches
furnish an answer.sa et sp5t Il s:aa'Be8

Such is Aholitionism in the United States in
The wear Of our Lord, 1856, but we shall for
) bear making any more extracts lrom speeches
g which convict some Of our counpymen Of the
e most dalnuabie treason, treason before which
g the sin Of udas pales away, and which throws
= the crime Of Arnold in the shade .e
n There is q law which governs nations andindi-
.s viduals it prevents mankind from acting with
% out a motive. Now, as some Of The leading Alb
), otionists Of this country have no interest what
ever at stake either in ihc perpetuetion orabol-
ii ten Of slavery, we ask, what can be their mo-
d tive for dissoiving the Union? If they can
% give no rational motive showing that their NOR
/. ii and social condition is affected by slavery,
wemust trace their motives to foTeign source
tNow, We viii not say that British money has
J made the Federal Union appear 80 cdions in the
/. ewes of Abolitionists, because we cannot pro-
,e duce positive evidence that such is the fact; but
we do say that there are cases wherein circun-
~ stantial evidence amounts to a positive assu-
ID rence IF there,was no understanding between
S, the Aholitionists Of this country and the enis
IN sagies of Great Britain, why should the former
y anticipate the time when the slaves of the
- S1lth armed with British bayonets, and led on
IN By British officers, shall wage war OF extermi
ct nation against their masters and Why should
IN thew present petition to Congress for the dis
! solution oi the Union when that very act wo'd
" prove fatal to the cause Of liberty upon the whole
g American Continent, but would give more per-
ag nanence to the monarchy of Great Britain than
her standing army, her fleets and hcg n2Wi
