A NORTH CAHOLINA ABOLITIONIST.
The Waiihinglon Union hits gratified the
puhlio by tomu iutelligeuce relative to the
character and untcciiictiU of Mr. llinlou
liowau Helper, of North Carolina, who has
written a book about hlayery, which North
ern Journals have incontinently elmekled
over. Mr. Helper' argument have been
Kitisfactorily disproved ; and now in the fol
lowing article from the Union, we have
not a very flattering account of his life mid
character :
Iu our advcitiainr columns will Le found
the publisher's notice of a book, entitled
"The luipendiiii; Ciisisof the South How
to Meet it," by Hinton ltowan Helper. As the
advertisement is likely to remain iu the Un
ion for tho full time contracted for, and as it
nrcuputa a conspicuous place iuthe advertis
ing columns of several of our Southern coteni
poraiics, it would be as well that the puhlio
should know something in relation to the
character of the work aud it author in ad
vance of its purchase. Withiu a day or
two the following facts were communicated
lo lis by au esteemed citizen of Noiih Caro
lina. Tho real name of the author of " The
Impending Crsis " is Heifer, and not Help
er. Mr. Heller is a unlive of ltowan coun
ty, North Carolina, t-ouie ten years ago he
toek up his residence iu Salisbury in that
Stale, and there entered i'.'o a er.pr,-.:r r
ship with a Mr. Miehail l!rovu iu the book
business. Soua alter the fuimuliou of the
partnership, funds were rai.-ed, placed in
Mr. Heifer's hands, and he started for the
city of New York for the purpose of re
plenishing the joint stock of Looks. Weeks
and months flew by uud not ii word was
heard by Mr. iowu of his partner. Finally,
he rrceived a letter frcm Mr. Heifer, stat
ing that he (Mr. 11 ) had deposited the mo
ney in the bunk ; that he was iu wretch
ed h alth ; and that hu was alout embark
ing lor Germany, where he eipceted to die.
Again was Mr. Heifer missing, and opain
he turned up ; not a a sitkly bank depositor,
lookiug fot ard with resignation to Germany
and death; but as a new man, with a new
constitution, a new name, and iu a new land.
He had journeyed to California, and the re
sult of his observations iu the land of gold
appeared iu the form of a modest octavo,
which bore, and, we presume. Mill bears,
the in uame of Hinton K. Helper.
This little work must have met with sonic
success, for in two years after its publica
tion, " The Iuipt tiding ( i i.-is '' is announced.
A copy of the last woik is now before us,
and its real character may be interred when
we state that it appears To have been writ
ten to the order of the New York Tribune
and Huston Liberator, and I he birth-place
of the nominal author used for the purpose
of inlioducing the incendiary publication
into the foutn with comph tj success. That
this Mr. llinton Kowau Helper is the hired
instrument of New Knglaud fanaticism is
evident from his own writings. In his first
work, which was wiitten at home, and iu
which, it is lo be presumed, he gives utter
ance to his real sentiments, he thus speaks
of the institution of slavery :
" Nicaragua can never fulfil its destiny
until it introduces negro slavery. Nothing
hut slave labor can ever subdue its forests
or ciiiiivnto its utitiuthercd lands. White
men tosy live unu its soil with an umbrella
iu one hand and a fau in the other ; but they
can never unfold or dev. lope its resources.
M .y e not safely conclude that negio sla
very uiil be introdured into this country
belore the lapse of many years ? Wc think
so. Tho tendency of events fully waiants
this inference."
He L-ml of Go,, p. i!Jt.
In " The Impending Crisis ' p. S3, Mr.
"llinton How an Helper, of North Caro
lina,'' becomes the medium for the following
aboliiiou rapping :
" Reared amidst the institution of slave
ry, believing it to be wrong, both in princi
ple and iu practice, and bavins' seen and
it-It its evil influence upon individual!., com
munities, and States, we det tu it a duty, no
less than a privilege, to elder our protest a
gainst it, and to use our most strcuuou ef
forts to overt-nu and aho.i-h itT"
The whole work i-t in keeping with the
above extract ; and now that its true cha
racter is exposed, the speculation is not like
ly to prove a successful one, pecuniarily or
politically.
The Kansas shi-iekers met with conside
rable success in their clelhes-swiu lliug ope
rations. In thus using a Southern stamp lor
their base abolition coin, dnTtraoti so soon
follows tho attempted imposition that it is
not likely that any mischievous eonsciueu
ces will cti-uc.
Fe l-mhty r.r Giikat Riiitain, It is a
good si-.n of a uatiou when it multiplies
whin its nun. her increase apart from
the influx of strangers. The lJriti.-h race
in their it. ami continue to exhibit this
healthy phenomenon. From the " Statisti
cal Abstract for the United Kingdom, iu
each fifteen years from lsl. to IsOti," it
tip; c..rs that iu that period the population
and resources of the country have increased
at a rate unexampled in tin old community.
It is probable that the population of the
United Kingdom now amounts to '20,0011,1100.
In 1 11 the estimated population of Fug
land was 1H,'-' 1,000; in If''.", it was 10,0-1 4,
000, an increase of ;!,000,000 in fourteen
years, .'14,000 annually. The rate of iu
crease in Scotland keeps pace with that of
England, its population last year being up
wards of 3,0(10,' 00. Ireland has been a
great sufferer, having lost a million and a
half of its inhabitants by famine aud cmi
cratiou ; but it populatiou i again on tho
increase. This, loo, in dispite of the great
est emigration that ever (lowed from Eu
rope. Since 141 upwards of three millions
have emigrated to people Aineriea aud Aus
tralia ; and the rxodus continues, aud is
li'icly to still continue. litrhai igt.

A JUSy CONTRAST. t
The Lynchburg (Va.) Ilepublican, in!
pct.king of existing parties, draws the fob
lowing contrast : ' 'bre is just the contrast
between the demofirhtio party and the par-
ty by which it is opjfcsed that there ia be-
tween an army of ,.a United States reou-
lars and a, band of .l.-xican guerilla. The
one is a permanent' i ganizatiou founded on

trouble for his teachers, and had succeeded
iu breaking up several schools by his turbu
lence. Thu teacher determined to take
measures to awaken the boy's conscience,
visited his juirints, talked with hiin, and
evidently made an impression. At tbe close
of the first day of the school hu had been
a good boy. The prudential committee
called on him and told bini that be must
luru the boy out or he would break up the
school. The teacher replied that be would
give l.im a fair trial tjr-t. At the ted of the
second day the committee repeated their
advice, but the teacher replied that he must
