s-s We publish in another column some in
stances Of the terrible distress prevailing
among Che working and poorer class Of
The English operatives, for want of cotton
: and consequent work. It is an undOubted
- fact thatit is these very people who are
thus suffering who a-e the best and only
friends thst this Government has in
England, And the fact is one THAI does
honor to the heart Of the people vAs share
thsir agmpathy in the midst Of their dis
trsss. For monied England, titled Eng
land aristocrafie England, and official
England, We have only debt of just ia
q digpatioR and wrath to pay In the midst
sfadyersity she has added insult to our in
jury: and in the face Of all her prOtesta-
tions Of love for the slaves and her bonn
bastio boast that when q slave touches Bri-
tish soil his chains fall from his feet, is
the fact that her influence and aid has
been given to the building up of slave
aTisiocracy. But while this has been the
s case with the English Government and
officials, the heart Of the lower Glass has
& been with the Federal Government Again
ac and again have meetings been called and
organized in the impoverished districts,
with the express purpose, upon the part of
the movers, Of urging upon the Govern
meut the necessity Of inter- ention, but
st which the poor people, perhaps even
then half starved for wsnt Of bread, have
refused to send any Huch call to their Gov
srnnent, and have, instead, passed resO-
lutions in approval Of the course of the
North. Their, is reason in this. The
titled ariskJcrats seek the downfall of c
nation where the title Of honest manhood
outraRks any of the hOners conferred by
the Courts Of Heraldry, and where nc de-
coration equals the imprint that industry
and integrity confers. On the other hand,
the common people see here, what they
look in vain for at home, chance to rise
Is accordance with their personal worth
and merits. They knew that the ex-
tension Of the slave power over the land
would destroy the labor market and reduce
the working class to the condition of the
poor whites at the South.
Il is these men and women who are
true to the principles Of freedom and Of
free government, who are now starving,
and to whom the approach of winter is as
dark and terrible blank. movement
is being made in this country to respond,
with noble magnanimity, to their cries
Of distress. It is suggested that one or

----4ribufion from the people Of the North
+" A Buffalo Corn NJ vhf7Ts Infough the
EsvrorK Tribune to give 500 bushels Of
corn, provided that corn men shall make

their departments The New York papers

contributions be made or offered on Thanks
giving Day, when we feast of of an abund-
anee, solon Robinson, of the New York
Tribune, offers to receive any donation
sent to the Tribune Office, and see it faith
fully applied.
What a whitening rebuke it would be to
the London Times and other rebel prints
abroad to have to chronicle such munif-
cent donation to the poor Of their own
country, from the people whom they have
repeatedly and persistently characterized
