Worth the attention of the South.

The Belfast News Letter. one of the Oldest and
most respectable journals of Ireland makes
public the following statement of its Liverpool
correspondent
.Ws are assured that Charles Sumner and
Lord Carlisle hare been in actire correspondence
on fhe Slavery question The league betpeen the
Aristocracy Of the old ioortd and the abolition
disanionists Of the the United STATES is per
feet
The Earl Of Carlisle is Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land and Chas. Sumner Ia an a DO itionist Sena-
tor of the United States from Massachusetts,
The British Aristocracy are for the most part bit
terly hostile TO the United States. Free govern.
ment and equal rights are standing reproach
to system which recognizes privileged class
and wthhods nearly all power from the masses.
The British monarchy is in constant and yearly
increasing danger Of overthrow, so long as its
subjects have before them the example of sue
cesstu Republic. it is the policy Of tho Ari.to-
oraoy therefore to destroy the confidence Of the
world, and especially of the British people in the
practicability and permauency of free government
and republican institutions II is easy for them
to see that the chief element of discord and dan.
ger with US is the slavery agitation and this they
stimulate and urge on by all neans in their pow
er-the most po,en. Of which 10 the encourage
ment OF emigration from Europe to this country.
Nine tenihs Of that emigration they know will
settle in the free States and Territories of tho
union and thus go to augment the political pro-
ponderanoe ofthe abolition section. There is nm
identity of interest and concurrence as to means
between the Aristocracy of great Britain and tho
abolitoaits of the United States and hence has
resulted that perfect league referred 10 in the
foreg Ding extract Carlisle is at the heed Of tho
q overnment from which most Of che eusigration
Q ONES. Sumner is one Of the most zea-
Gus and abe leaders Of the cause TO
be promoted by the vast yearly access
sion Of free labor and free votes. They
nal urally fall into ian active correspondence"
on the subject of emigration means Of pro-
m citing aboliiionism. Does any one doubt that
this ia the meaning Of the paragraph we have
quoted Is it not notorious TINT the increase Of
naiire population in the Southern States is great
er than in the Nortbern--and that they owe
their superiority in numbers and Federal repre-
8 entation solely to acquisitions from other coun-
tries! Are not our Territories filling up with i'm
m igrants from Europe, and being moulded rap.
i dy aud certainly into free states by theml And
If this is permitted to continue is it not inevita-
BILE that the states from which tho institution of
slavery is excluded will ere long obtain an as
G endancy in the union 80 complete and overshad-
owing, that the South will be utterly helpless
and dependent on the North; utterly dependent
on the mercy of an intolerant, bigotted and inso-
lent majority No future event can DO more
ertain than this-but yet, incredible as it may
ppear. Southern Democracy proposes to play
j nto the hands of Carlisle and Sumner, of tho
British Aristocrets and tho Northern Abolition
lists, by opposing every effort to check or regu-
late immigration aud crying down those who seek
to adapt the Legislation OF the country to this
end. Not only are they found thus occupied
but while so engaged they have the effrontery
to proclaim themselves the only party to be
trust ed with the interests of slavery, viii not
the South open its eyes to the future, aud while
there may yet be time look to the means Of its
PRESCRIPTION.
