can describe the horrors Of African slavery and relate
the suterings of the poor negro in the hold Of the
SLAYER ornndeE the aso the overseer whether they
eyersaw anything Of the kind or not, has long been
the admiration of philanthropic England and the Won
der, probably, Of the whole world. They exhausted
the topic long ago. but they do not stop on that ae
count, and now, when their increased plumbers and
strength have paced the spoils Of office isheir hands,
they become more eloquent than over Imaginary
horrors and the fury Of their defamation shakes the
Union. .s.i.sss l,,,1r9,,.,,,a,
They seldom pause to bestow word upon the foul
corruptions that everywhere lrk in the social life
around them Or stark openly forth in the light Of days
and if, from the pulpit Or through the press they
sometilDk s rebuke the monstrous deeds Of wicked
ness, wlish are nowhere more common than in the
great cities Of the North, such an act is very properly
looked upon as DEPRESSION from the great business
Of their crusade against slavery and the pro-
agitatin generally they have no time to re-
form the moral wretchedness nor relieve the physical
misery which follows in their footsteps and springs
up and spreads around them like a plague wherever
they go. They cannot even, as many pious people
can bestow their attention upon the perishing souls
of the heathen in distant lands and, more lamentabe
STILL they seldom can afford the leisure to cultivate
their own morals and manners, but permit the former
to run to seed and rot and the latter to grow wild
and unconth, like that particular thistle which only
jackass can MUNICH and stomach. Every moment they
devote to the ordinary affairs Of life, every effort they
make not directly hostile to the South and the hated
institution of slavery is much lost time,so much
wasted labor It is the business Of their lives to de.
nounce revile and threaten slavery and the South,
and they attend to nothing else nor hear any
thing else, nor feel for anything else.
This will explain why we find paragraph ike the

HAVANA, March I've have received BY three vessels this

which 800 were on one vessel the Peruvian bark Cora.
Most of our readers know that these unfortunate
coolies are forcibly carried away from their own
try by English, and, we regret to say, American
sells and delivered over to bondage far worse than
that imposed upon the negro slave in this country,
though probably not 80 shocking as the condition Of
the latter described by aboltionsts. Notwithstand
ing this fact and the horrible disclosures that have
been made of the suerings of the poor coolies and
the crueltes to which they subjected during trans
portation the British Government winks at the traf
fic, and British subjects who virtuousiy join in the
execration of Northern fanatics against American
slavery carefully pocket their share Of the proceeds.
The one-idea Of abolition fanatcism also explains
why so little stir.was made by the publication re-
Gently, in Manchester paper, of a case in which
big brutal fellow of silk mill, beat of
the operatives young woman-nearly to death with
heavy strap it coming out, also, that he con-
statly in the habit of exercising himself in that
ner upon the women and children in the establish
ment. In this country,n the Northern States, such
a thing would not be tolerated, probably. Here in
the South the beast who attempted it would either be
speedily and severely punished by the law, lynched
forthwith. We make d few choice extracts from the
account given of the case alluded to:

The Justice expressed the opinion that !" it wa.

we entirely agree with him; but what must we think
