Examine with care the cause Of our OLSEN

not the British establish the first negro eHlan-
eipation society? Was it not British gold that
planted md nursed the same sentiments IN the

between brothers Of the same bloods Still more,
we hare seen the mobility of England covering
with caTesses and pushing forward into promnenc
in the world our most decided and objectionable
Abolition fanatics 1t is, then, Great Britain that
IL our worst enemy, not tile North. =
English sympathy for the blacks was genuine
sentiment of humanity, we might respect them
bysn such sentiment; commercial jealousy alone
pushes them on to excite among us spirit OF DIS
| union. She, looking ahead, calculates that the
South, in case of dissolution finding herself with
/ out ships, will employ, in moment Of pigue
against the North, English bottoms in preference
Ito Northern vessels. This would give profitable
business to English sailors, at present nd
in this exploitation find the real origin OF the
profound sympathy felt BIZ England for the blacks.
There is undoubtedly some truth in what is con-
fi,e YER
i looks the important fact that the South, BY con-
1 finng sss now her trade to Northern cities benefits
and enriches t,ro classes of her enemies the En-
t ulish and the Northerners. A very large portion
III the goods that we purchase III Northern cities
have been bought BY the Yankees from the foreign
/ manufacturers. We then pay two profits; and both
Oh them are, to some extent used 70 lnInre ana
i break u down AS i mere matter Of calculation,
/ it is plainly seen that we do gain something by
j trading directly with the English: we save all the
/ profits which the Yankees make out Of " hy act
ing as Intermediates; and ne starve ont, and thus
will perhaps bring to reason, the most mischieYons
| class Of cur foes.
But there II still another werful consideration.
AT present the principal business ard personal in
Il tercourse between cur country and Great Britain
\ IA carried On by the Northern States. Northern
men purchase all the British manufactures foreign
/ goods are sent, almost exclusively, in Northern
ships Is Northern ports: Northern cities have their
lines of steamers and regular mails and quite an
/ intimate business intercourse and correspondence
/ are kent up by the North with the British. As a
Iconseqnence the notions Of American politics en-
lertained by tile English, are derived mostly from
men OF Northern sentiment. and of course, are
Il tinctufed with aboiitionism. And while we Of the
South indirectly pay the price Of the foreign goods,
the fact is not present to the mind Of the mannfac-
turer at Manchester, and he therefore gives him
self NO concern about the Injury to the slave inter
ext which the fanaticsm Of the Abolitionsts may
| occasion On the contrary, he is rather encour-
aged to exaggerate his hostility TO slavery, to make
4 himself agreeable to his American customers from
/ the North, who alftalk abolition to him.
i If we traded directly with those manufacturers
there would BIO d difference iii a this; their ideas
| Of American questions would not be derived from
sources prejudced, and entirely unreliable, now.
They would then be made to hear the other side Of
/ the question, and learn how much Of falsehood
1 their former notions contained, concerning the
/ cruelty and injustice Of slavery. Their best trade
1 depending, too upon our favor they would be eau
tions about injuring III exasperatins u.s. aud thus
i John Bull would be hundred times nlilder in his
anti-niggerism than he il atpresent. Then direct
trade with Britain would effect fee beneficial re-
suits, viz LIST. Save to all the profit now pay
enemies and tradaeers; and 3d. Greatly moderate
and soften the hostility Of the English Aboionists
