The N,p- York EIprsss, Albany Argus, and
their confederates, affect to think we must be
surprised and disappointed at the want, misery,
abuse and disease, to which the freed slaves
Of Rebels are too frequently subjected. But
We surely are not. SO long as there are tral-
tors 10 coyct them, bloodhounds to hunt them,
and Democrats to hate and Cypress them, we
presume the lot of the unfortunate Blacks in
this country must be a hard one. Slavery may
disappear; we trust il soon will; but the
wrongs. the prejudices, the abuses, tho hatreds,
the m,series, engendered by this gigantic pub
lie crime will doubles" survive it by many
years. Yet The Argus talks Of our
recent exposure of the tendencies to
abuse Of the leasing system for the
freedmen adopted by the Government on the
plantations of the Mississippi az "direct
admission by Greeley that the slaves were better
of as slaves than A. freedmen" Indeed Were
not the Israelites "better of" Certainly in
their own estimation) when "they sat by the
hesspOts of Egypt aud ate bread to tho fill, "
than when they were wandering in the Arabian
desert, weary footsore and famshed, cursing
Moses for subjecting them to such misery ,
Were not our fathers "better of" while
peacefully thriving and multiplying as loyal
colonists of Great Britain, than when, few
years later, they were Drawing the perils and
hardships of their Revolution In short, was
there ever process of deliyerance from great
evil that did not involve present priyation and
suffering Or, to quote the well. known pass
age from Carlyle:

And it 10 one whose trials no class, no con.
dition, can escape. We never dreamed that
the exodus from Slavery into Freedom could
be effected without pain and loss, nor that the
Blacks could escape their share Of them. Our
only apprehension has been, not that these
evils would be borne, for We felt that they
would and must, but that they would be borne
in vain. And now, if our country shall finally
emerge from this fiery furnace purified by
affection into a clear and living perception

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON
AMERICAN APRAIRs.

The British Parliament has again devoted q
large portion Of two nights proceedings to al
exciting debate on the relations between En-.
gland and the United States. We give in
another column a report Of this debate, one OF
the most interesting on our affairs which has
yet occurred in any foreign legislative assembly
Of Europe, and which, in view of the serious
complication Of our relations with England de-
serves the most attentive perusal Of every
American.
The most prominent feature Of the debate is
tue violent language of the champions Of the
Slave Power against tho Government, the
people, and the institutions Of America. We
have long been accustomed to the abuse OF
these men; but on this occasion they have
surpassed their former efforts. IL was we'll
BETTING Mr. R0ebuck, the renegade Liberal,
the spokesman and tool of the Austrian Govern
ment and the only member Of Parliament who
denounces the Polish cause, to again take the
lead of the Ant-American party. He has evi-
IDENTIFY endeavored to be as insulting and as
provoking as possible. Claiming to "speak for
the English people," he said, che was pre-
pared Tor war;" That language, he hoped,
"must strike the hearts of the insolent people
who govern America now" ave SHALL" he
continued, "have justice done to the honor
and dignity of England, and the commerce Of
this country will be no longer subject to the
overbearing domination and insolence Of al
upstart race like that"
Mr.. Roebuck, with his craving for war, stood
by no means alone. Several speakers expressly
declared their concurrence with bis furious
attacks upon America, and, more or less, all
the Tory speakers spoke in the same style. The
Shipping Gazette says that, unmeasured as the
language Of Mr.. Roebuck was, cheers followed
the utterance of every sentence" The whole
Of the speeches, made on that side of Parlia.
the speakers are eager to seize upon every
difficulty arising between the Government of
England and the United States, to provoke q
war and thus to aid the shareholders in estab.
fishing the independence Of the Confederate
States. They clearly betray the counses which
have been taken with the Rebel emissaries in
Europe, who chief reliance is on war between
England and the United States.
The English Government i' evidently shrink.
ing back from the responsibility of giving aid
to these schemes. We do not find in the speech
of Lord Russell any retraction Of the un-
friendly sentiments which he has on 30 many
occasions manifested toward the United States
Yet he shows himself moro than ever before
anxious "not to establish any dangerous pre-
cedeut," and we give him credit for having
made some real progress in the desire to ap.
pear "neutral." His sentiments ere. this
time, fully indorsed BY such candid snd friendly

Hs used, it il true, some expressions that
have no amicable tone, and yet the principles
which be laid down for the treatment OF inter-
national questions are such as can and Will DO
accepted by the United States. He thought a
foreign Government ought not to DO denounced
for violation of international law, before IT had
been established that there was really case
against it, and next, If there was q clear case
no compulsory measures should be resorted TO-
before reparation had been refused.
There were many noble protests against the
war cries of the hostile party. Mr.. Golden,
in particular, made speech worthy OF d
statesman. He paid ON eloquent tribute to the
prompt, faithful, and scrupulous observance by
the United States Government. of their For
eign Enlistment Act, and Of the duties OF neu-
trality. and he insisted that such conduct
constituted reciprocal obligation. He appealed
TO the sacred engagements involved in every
international dispatch, aud indicated those
lofty moral interests which ought always to
have more weight in the decision of interna-
tonal questions than merely material interests
Altogether, there appears to be great IN
crease of excitement in the public opinion OF
England on account Of the American war
The Rebel emissaries and the Tories are in
council to devise means to precipitate the t"o
countries into hostiities. The Ministry, 1t vac
Hating, are yet more disposed to avoid the
expenses and dangers Of war than bent on
humiliatng the United States. The real SYM
pathizers with Liberal principles and with our
democratic institutions are doing their utmost
to increase the sympathy with our cause and
to settle peaceaby the difficulties which the
peridy of the English arstocracy is 80 ire
quently raising. SO long as our success at
homo is not complete, We may expect to see
these three parties in the English Parliament
continue to contend for the ascendency. That
it should be so 10 almost inevitable, but the
character of this debate, violent as It was on
one side seems to show an evident tendency
on the part of the Government to permit itseli
to be influenced by the counsels of the wiser
and more moderate party. which deprecate'
any interference in our quarrel
