cause OF liberty.
Tie oulbursi Of sympatby with the cause of negro
emancipation which HIS lately been manifested IN
England. has dspelled all doubts as to what the
real feelings of the great mass OF the people III our
fatherland. That the heart Of Eng and was slii
sound on the subject Of Slavery could never Tor an
instant lie doubted by any one who knew the En.
elish people. But the gross misrepresentation Of
the leading London Journals, aud the Open sympathy
manifested by the British ars'ocraey with the canse
Of the siav eholdes had induced many weak minded
people IN these colonies TO believe that great revo-
lut on had taken place IN public feeling at home.
