Ahnlifionism i'm England.


The spirit of Aboh,ionisn in England Is
much more extreme Of late years than former
ly. We recolect reading not long ago the
account which an American clergyman
named Sprague, who Travelled in England IN
1926 Z and s, gave of his conversations wi'h
various English celehities on the SUBJECT 'i
slavery in the United States Statesmen
clergvmeu, poets, and writers, with whom
he met without nm exception were opposed
to slavery, but they all deprecated the vio-
lent spirit with hich the institution was
being assuiled in America by the "philan-
tbropistsv of the North They all agreed
that it would be better not TO have it eradi
Gated at all, if it had to be done by exciting
feelings Of auimosity between the eommQ"
brethren of the Union, aud especially it 1t
endangered the existence Of the Republic
They all agreed that the slavehoiding States
should be left to manage the affair Tor them
selves and get rid of slavery in their own
good time if they desired to be free from it
Not one Of the distinguished personoges he
met-and be met many-beleyed that the
people of the Free States had any right to
NEEDLE with the question or to agitate the
uliect within the slave States, by means Of
books or pamphlets or emissaries, whether
open or covert. The leading literary men and
women, in particular, were vehement in their
denunciations of the ultra Abolitionists OF
the Free States. Southey, Campbell, Rog
ers, Miss Edgworth, Mrs Grant, Hannah More
and Joanna Baillie were among the class al
luded to-
Now a-days, the leading minds of England
and particularly the literati hold altogether
a different tone. Now they admire and
praise ineendiary speeches, sermons pam
phlets, poems andnovels, of American origin,
on this subject of slavery. Now they take
to their bosoms with especial favor the Abo-
lition writers of this continent who travel
into England. Now they are continually
harping about the BLACK spot on the es
cutcheon of American liberty" They want
it wiped out at all hazards. Treason to the
American Union is in their eyes loyalty to
the general good of mankind Thirty years
ago Robert Southey shed tears over the con
dition of the poor factory slaves of England
and declared that the bondage of the African
was light to theirs Nowadays more than
one English writer forgets that there is such
a thing as white slavery in all the length and
breadth of the British Empire.

A STIR N TENNEssEE.-There appears to
have been co siderable excitement at Mem.
phis. Tennessee, caused by the arrest and ex
animation of DR.. Wm Russell Palmer, of that
city, on charge Of attempting to incite
slaves in that State to insurrection A letter
purporting to have been written by Lawrence
Thaeher, Of Memphis, to Old Brown at Har
pers Ferry, was picked up in railroad cal
between New York AMI Philadelphia, ant
forwarded to Governor Wise, who sent it tC
the Governor of Tennessee. The letter
up a negro insurreetion in Tennessee, and
requests Old Brown to write to Palmer, etc
Upon the strength of this letter, which is
said to have been lost by one Horner, who
had engaged to deliver it to Brown, Palmer
was arrested. Tennessee newspapers and
correspondents say that his plans were on a
large scale, and that he had been engaged
two years in maturing them The charge
against Palmer was based upon statements
contained in the letter above mentioned
which were to the effect that he had married
a widow lady in Tennessee for the purpos
of tampering with her slaves, and through
them getting up an insurreetion in the State
According to the letter, he had promised
slaves in yarious parts Of the State to place
arms in their hands, and to inform them
when to commence the instruction. A St
Louis correspondent says that Palmer was
examined, and now lies in Jail awaiting fur
ther legal proceedings before higher tribu-

DISCOVERY OF A LEAD MNE-G. III. Beach,
of Marysville. showed us some very rich spec
linens Of lead ore taken by himself from a
vein recently discoveled 10y some Indians, on
a hill about three miles southwest of Steam
boat springs, and two miles north west of
Smith 5 house. in Pleasant Valley. 1t is
slightly mixed with silver and assays about
ninety per cent Hagan bought it from the
Indians at a very low price. New discover
