PORTLAND, ME, FRIDAY MORNING,

| Your critic makes, that .to exalt herself by all

Deen the strong ambition of America One
notable instance occurred not very long ago.
where her commerce might have been enormous
~ aggrandized at the expense of Great Britain's
She was proof against the temptation. and Brit
ish statesmen bore testimony to her prompt and
punctual justice. Have her censors equally
withstood the same temptation? But have no
desire TO deny or excuse her shortcomings She
has enough of them, God knows, and sorely
has their iron entered her soul. One thinG
however, is true, she is fighting against Slavery.
where her armies go, Liberty follows. Sad to
say, she is fighting this battle alone. Even the
Liberal Christianity of England if represented
larry BY the Inquirer, advises her to let Slavery
clothe itself with national existence. May God
save her from such a crimel 1t were crime
mankind.
And now, sir, let me ask in the name of lust
ice, peace and goodwill, if Americans can fairly
be expected to regard the nsinuaton of whole
sale humbug and hypocrisy, and, besides the
language have quoted, such statements as that
the words irreyocable Union mean ssdeatb TO
thousands, ruin and misery to millions, and des
olation to the fairest provinces of America, and
that the Federal generals are ssbrutes in the city
and burglars in the feld,'' as the voice of Gre
buking friendship2'' The first quality of rebuke
is justice. Can any stretch of Interpretation
make these just? Are they not playing fast and
loose with truth and reasong They betray a
surprising ignorance, il nothing worse, Can
yon expect them to do aught but irrtate and
bitterly offend? Can they serve the cause of
peaceY Will they still angry passion2 There is
war other than that of the cannon and the
sword. Is not language of this kind full of it,
and eminently fitted to produce it? America
needs no praise. She does need justice. She
needs, too, the wise and kindly sympathy which.
while pointing out her faults, shall help her
more fully to appreciate and honor the cause
which God has called her to assert. Do not visit
on the America of to-day, striving even unto
blood against the wickedness of Slavery, the re-
Dukes which belong to the America of a day gone
by, when she bowed her neck to the shameful
yoke Give credit where credit is due-to Him
whose providence has placed her, partly in spite
OF herself, partly in punishment of her sins
partly, too, in virtue of her desires for liberty
and the deliverance of her down-trodden chill
dren, and wholly in fulflment of beneficent pur-
poses for her and the human race, in the fiery
furnace of the present strife And in the name
OF humanity, let me eatreat that not even in
seeming shall you give countenance to an at
tempt 80 monstrous in itself, SO disastrous 10
civilization, 50 appalling in its consequences
not to America only, but to the human race, as
that which seeks to create a nation on the basis
OF human Slayery.-I am, Sir, yours sincerely,
