the Abolitionists In the British Parlia-
ment.
By the Canada, at Halifax, we have three days
later news from Europe, the chief point Of
which is the movement on the part of the
British abolitionists to get up another anti
slavery excitement, with particular view to
the United States.
We were some time since informed that
combined effort was to be made by the British
and American abolitionists against the existing
institution of slavery in our Southern States.
Several Of John Browns principal tools were
Englishmen; he ID said to have sent agents to
England, and to have received money from
there; and the fugitive revolutionary aboi-
tonists from here are now endeavoring to stir
up the sympathies and bleed the pockets of
their British cousins. At q recent meeting in
Wakefield, England, which was addressed by
the mulatto Fred. Douglass and Miss Remond,
The former announced that the British peo-
pie 'were to have very important
subject brought before them for conside-
ration, and that was the propriety of form
ing an anti-slavery society which should
assist in the work of the abolition of slavery
in the United States" As part of this move
ment, no doubt, Lord Brougham, who is one of
the old original abolition leaders, moved on
the 9th, in the British House of Lords, that the
government should lay before the House infor-
nation in regard to slavery, and the amount Of
cotton imported from the United States. Lord
Normandy promised on the part of the govern
ment, that what information it possessed should
be forthcoming at an early day.
This union movement between the British
and American abolitionists to abolish slavery
in this country is very suggestive one. 1t
reminds us of the mission, over twenty five years
ago, of the exmember of Parliament aboli-
ZIONIST Thompson, who came here to teach the
American people their duty, and went back
with flea in his ear, because of his abuse and
vituperation of this country, its institutions
and the character of its public men and private
citizens. But in the motion of Lord Brougham,
coupling together two of the greatest material
elements of the times-slavery and cotton
there is a curious relevancy. When the two
tables are brought together and compared,
John Bull will have an opportunity
to weigh the relative value to his own
pocket Of niggers and cotton. On one side he
will find the slave statistics of the United
States, and on the other all the cotton which,
through the niger, we have sent him. He can
then weigh the fact that to abolish the niger
will be to abolish cotton in the United States,
just as the same policy has abolished sugar in
st. Domingo. Then will come the netting
cotton, nigger-nigger, cotton-and we shall
not be at all surprised If the old gentleman,
after duly weighing the value Of each, shall
say to my Lord Brougham that the subject of
slavery in the United States may do well
enough for discussion in Exeter Hall or the
Stafford House, but it is not a fit subject for
the floor of the British Parliament
We are glad to see the union in this matter
between the British and American abolitionists.
1t is good thing. Let Exeter Hall resound
again with the old vituperations of the rascally
Yankee slave owners, and of Washington, JET.
ferson, and all the fathers of the republic in the
most approved Wendell Phillips style. Send
us George Thompson again to denounce the
constitution. Let US have more British gold
for another John Brown raid, and more British
