It i.s no proof of wisdom to make light -of antici patcd evils, or to find an excuse for neglecting every measure of defence, by pretending to despise the danger. Such wilf.il delusion, and such blind secu rity is equally fatal to individuals and states ; it id therefore the province of wisdom to provido the means of resistance hclorc the attacii is actually made, and to shut the door ere the enemy is within the threshold. Many believe, and still more, pro bably, only affect to believe, that the apostles and advocates of abolition consist only of a few hot brained fanatics, with slender means, and yet more slender intellects ; and that nothing more than silent neglect is necessary to reduce themselves and their efforts to insignificance. We most earnestly wish it were so. But far different is the case. The various powers and elements combined in this cru sade anninst the Constitution ot the United btates, the rights, property, and the safety of the southern members of this confederacy, are such as no rea sonable man can contemplate without serious alarm for their suocess, and its consequences. Let us fulfil tho promise made in a preceding article, and analyze this dangerous combination. We will not attempt to deny, that tho ostensible leaders of the abolitionists m thu country, are in dividuals sufficiently contemptible to relieve us from all apprehension of the consequences of their efforts. The Tappans, the Rankins, the Garrisons, and their imported associate, I hompson, who constitute the mere tools and instruments of the combination, would be indeed beneath contempt, were they not aided and abetted by the money, the talents, and influence of some of tho most powerful societies in the vorld ; and, if wemistake not, by cunning states men, directing the destinies of empires, or influen cing states, and communities by the authority of Jjhcir example, or the exercise of thoir power. Let it be remembered, that a single spark of fa jiaticism, has often lighted a dame which in its progress- has laid whole states in ruins, sprinkled their hearths and their altars with blood, and perpetra ed, in the name of a merciful Being, cruelties from which robbers and assassins would shrink in the permorauce. The flame which is now threatening is with a repetition of those horrors, let it be re collected, WAS FIKST LIGHTED IN ENGLAND. It was at a meeting of Englishmen in the city of Lon don, where Lord Brougham, Lord John llusscll, Fir Robert Peel, and other leading statesmen of England attended, and wlicre the renegade Garri sou was listened to as an oracle, while he calumni ated his country and countrymen it was at that meeting the Colonization society was denounced as the great obstacle to the freedom of the blacks, and that it was resolved to let loose the fires of fanati cism upon the people of the United States The apostles of abolition and colonization came red-hot from England, stimulated by English example, English influence, and English money. They were the tools and instruments of English societies, and English statesmen. At this moment thev arc do ing their bidding, and forwarding the objects of this deep laid conspiracy against a confederated power, whoso growing greatness is an object of sleepless jealousy, whose splendid example is the bugbear of all those who have so long slept insecu rity in the lap of greybeard desjotisin. The statesmen who preside over the destinies of Europe, and of England, most especially, are not ignorant that the question of slavery is one which out producing feelings at war with the very exist ence of the union. They know full well that any attempt to interfere with the rights of the master over the slave, would inevitably separate this Un ion into hostile elements, destroy not only its grow ing greatness, but forever divest its example of qn parrelleled growth and prosperity, of its dangerous influence over the people of Europe. Politically', therefore, they are our enemies, and commercially they, and England moft especially, are our rivals. They have every motive of apprehension and inte rest to stimulate them to every effort, short of open violence, t destroy the Union of the States, and thus relieve themselves from all future fears of their rivalry or thir example. There is no way of ac complishing this object so speedy and certain, as that of rai.-'mg a hue and cry against the bondage of the blacks, and thus producing a feeling of inse curity on put of the Southern States that shall make it appear to tliein an imperative measure of self deface , t j separate from this confederacy, and become themselves the sole guardians of their rights and their live;:. England his taken the lead on this occasion, and it will be per ceived that she has by far the highest interests at take in the success of the project. r England at! J the United States reciprocity act up on and if;U-?ncc each other, far more than any other two :j.i?;rns cf the world. Their language is the same and their intercourse perpetual. Hither to the examjj'c and opinions of England have exer cised almost absolute dominjoq over the United States. Wh -ever she denounced we denounced ; whatever shn was pleased to pronounce contrary to !'ie laws of morality or tho precepts of religion, we soon ca:.e to consider an abomination j and wnei. she established a society tor any thing, no rr.iUer what, we were sure to follow the fashion, w : ' : i.-.qu.rinff whether there existed any neces- s: r propriety for its adoption, "late y'-iy, however, the tables have legun to Th ? u.i;her is growing up to be an exsm ) rh-j ri-.'hc., ami the old lady begins to trem . rctytct ci Ltirr svrce day thrown into the shade by her overgrown cfopring. The spirit of reform, which is every day acquiring new force and energy in that country, and producing a silent yet inevitably revolution, was lighted at our lamp, and is led by our example. Though too proud to own it, they aro borrowing their principles and practice from this country, whose example is not more dear to all truo lovers of liberty, than it is hateful and obnoxious to those who havo long ra velled in the exclusive enjoyment of wealth, honor, and power. To the latter "it is an object of vital consequence to divest the United States of their dangerous influenco over the people of England. This can bst be dune by goading them on to dis union, or failing in this, to raise a hew and cry against them as the oppressors of the blacks ; as traitors to their own declarations and principles; as " men stealers and murderers, exhibiting the odious spectacle of a people with liberty in ihrir mouths, standing with the chain and lash in their hands, ready to bind and scourge their unoffending slaves." To these are added slanders, misrepre sentations, and exaggerations of every kind and de gree, calculated to impress on the minds of the peo ple of England a conviction, that the principles and institutions of freedom are only calculated to un dermine the structure of rational religion, vitiate the public morals, debase the human mind, and convert mankind into unrelenting oppressors of a portion of tl'Cir feiiw-cticns. The whofo force and, influence of British litera turc has been brought to bear against the charac tor and institutions of this country, most especially on the subject of slavery, knowing, as the statesmen of Lngland do full well, that this misfortune entail ed upon us by her own tyranny, against the express remonstrances of irgima, tho oldest of the cojo nies, can best be turned not only into a crime, but info an instrument of disunion. No English spy, under tho cloak of a traveller, can take up his pen or open his mouth now a-days, without some maw kish twaddling on tho subject of slavery, sumo ex aggeratcd picture of its evils, or some bitter denun ciation of those on whom England herself entailed the institution, which she now thinks proper to de nounce so vehemently. Not content with this, extensive and powerful so cieties have been instituted, which number among their members and benefactors, the King himself, tho leading ministers of State, the bishops and men of wealth of almost every class and denomination, whose avowed object it is to interfere with the do mestic policy of those nations recognizing slavery, and by means of money and State influence, aided by the spirit of fanaticism, accomplish the;r object. The whole aristocracy of England is a party to this conspiracy against a people whose progress and prosperity endangers their exclusive privile ges, and renders the thrones of Kings but pillowa of thorns. It is from thi3 sourco proceeds the im pulse which actuates, inspires, and encourages tho incendiaries who are every day brawling forth the language and denunciations of the press of England ; it is from this source they derive a great portion of tho funds with which they carry on the war against our laws, our Constitution, and our union; u is these who send out the Thompsons and other per nicious intcriueddlers to stimulate tho weak, and excite the wicked to acts of disorganization and vi- and the money received from those sources, which I render these darin; innovators on the rights and ' ho safety of others, so reckless of the contempt ; and detestation of the rational people of the United Statos. What care they f r these, when they are auded to the skies by statesmen, lords, bishops. and all the tribe of English aristocracy ; sustained by the whole force of English literature, and pam- ered with English Gold, The apology of England for this sacrct ami dead- y war against the very existence ot the union, is lumanity. It is under this cover that she assails us in our most vital part, and it therefore becomes necessary to enquire if other motives may not be ound equally cogent in rousing tins late and lag ging spirit, which prompts her to go about like Don Quixotic, righting wrongs, and interfering with the concerns of her neighbors. Until the late vote of 20,000,000 sterling by the Parliament, as a salvo for robbing the planters of the English colonics of their property, England had never made any sacrifices of her interests or her money in behalf of the blacks. She had indeed railed against the United Statos on. tike subject of slavery, and she has made treatios with various na tions, under which she can exercise the right ot boarding, searching, and capturing their vessels, whenever it suits her couvcinVncc or interest. Sha also wormed and wheedled a similar treaty out of Mr. Rush, but, unfortunately for the cause of En glish phllanthrophy, Uo luto 1'renidcnt Monroe, and a late Senate of the United States, rejected it on the ground of its affording an apology for a practice under which we had suffered too much in jury and degradation eycr to consent or submit to its renewal. In concluding these treaties for tho suppression of the slave trade, let it be remembered, England made no sacrifices whatever, while she established a character for humility which cost her nothing. In tact she was pursuing her own commercial poli cy all the whie, for it must be obvious that while thus crippling the means of the colonies of other nations, by cutting off their importations of slaves, she was indirectly securing 10 herself peculiar advantages, since her own colonies were amply supplied with slaves, whose numbers were increas ing without the aid ot importation, while those of France, and most esjeciallv Spain and Portugal, were but ill supplied, and not increasing by natural means. Under these circumstances, it must be obvious that the advantages of these conventions for extinguishing the slave trade were all on the side of England. But the world, or at least the people of tho Uni ted States, saw through the deception and jcnetra tcd the thin veil of hypocricy. The latter called upon England, while she was lilting against them in the cause of humanity and calling upon them, and upon other nations to make sacrifices in its be half, to set the example of herself making some sacrifices at the shrine cf her devotion. They pointed to the British colonies an I bade England hold her tongues, until her own 20,000,000 of slaves were emancipated. Xay, they v.pnt so far as to al lude to the situation of the millions of manufactu rers of England, and the millions of paupers in Ire land, and to remind the great Quixotte of humani ty, that here was amp!o room for the exercise of her humanity. This argumcntun ad hcmine.i wes unanswerable, and England, true to her character, and game to! the last, sacrificed tho interests of her colonies to keep up her character. It was only to borrow 20,. 0Q0..000 to add to the ojd 600,QOO000, and to rob the planters of 20,000,00.0 more, and the thing was I of his country warned his children with paternal done.

JVow the same Paper. ABOLITIOX. Having shewn, as will be seen by a preced ing article under this head, that the Government of England at length signalized its philanthropy by tidding 20,000,000 to the burthens of the people, and robbing the West India planters of 20,000,000 more, by paying them less than half the acknowl edged value of their slaves, we shall now proceed to show in what manner she is striving to make j herself amends. Having sacraficcd her own colo nies, she intends if possible, not only to persuade other powers to do the same, and thus place herself comparatively in the situation she was before ; but her great paramount object is the United States, and we shall continue the analysis of her motives for the peculiar interest shs takes in the emancipation of our slaves. Her political objects have already been discussed, and we shall now proceed to enu merate the others, as they present themselves to our mind, with a force which produces entire con viction of their truth. We have already often repeated what every one versed in the feelings of the people of the South, knows to be true, that an attempt on the part of ei- ther Congress or any State or States of the Union to interfere with the relations ot master and slave, scarcity as wen as quauiy or ms ioou, ami an ms either by legislation, by public declarations, or by ! domestic comforts, and the Rrllish laborer in the ma any other means direct or iudirect, would shatter j nufactorie, is an object far more worthy the exploits this confederation to atoms. But, for the sake of of the philanthropist, than the worst fed, worst the ensuing argument, we will admit, that ttie in-; clothed, and worst lodged slave in the United States, fluence of the English Press and English money, j But British philanthropy is at present all of one aided by the exceeding nonsolatory and conclusive colour. It has little sympathy for white men, and arguments of the Abolitionists, and their delicate i there are strong grounds of belief, that the cloak of regard to the feelings of the peoplo of the South, ! humanity to the negroes is p irtly assumed to draw may speedily operafe on them to dispossess them- i the attentiion of the poor white slaves of England selves of one half their property, and render the I from the contemplation ot their own abject conui other half comparatively worthless. The loss of j tion, by inverting the condition of tho black gjaves slave labor in the Southern States would, at once, place them on a footing in their great staples with the British colonies; nay, sink them far lw?Iow them, in coiinrjuence of the high price of tree labor m the United Srates, and thus a great commercial ob- ject would be gained by England, in restoring her West India pr-ducts to a level of competition with the rest of the world. It is true, the loss of slave ' of manufactories and their operatives, or white Ia!r in the South would greatly enhance the price slaves as they should be called ; and between the of cotton to the British manufacturers, and serious-1 little tyrant of British men-of-war, who can inflict ly diminish the quantity raised. But this would chains" and stripes at pleasure, and his nautical equally affrct niauufachi rers of the United States ; slaves, who are first seized, gagged and bound, and as well as Trance, and other rivals of England, i then placed in a dungeon of a floating prison. Let and thus again would the latter be placed in a po- us semi missionaries to preach to them the whole sition to undersell the rest of the world. Thus some doctrine, that their condition "absolves them agiin would her philanthropy cost her nothing but from all the obligations of mankind that the aris a little injustice to the planters of the West Indies, toe racy of England are no better than "men stea- a-i l a trilling increase ot a debt which will never be paid. There is, however, another point of view in which this subject assumes a different aspect. Suppose, what is the only rational anticipation of the conse- quences of a perseverance on the part of the Abo- htionists, and a neglect of the rsorthern States to ,... u w. '.uu..i repress and punish their offences against the (Jon- stitution and tho rights of other States suppose the result of all this should be a separation of the stales, wouu tney "separate as incuds or enemies f itiir-., nuuw iijvj -i-j.i iiiu 113 iiri:u5 ur i lit iiiivri Most assuredly the latter, for the rupture would bo preceded by a violent discussion and reciprocal re- proaches that could not fail of producing a lasting cnrmiy. v nat men would be the result ot .a sepa ration? Jealousy, rivalry, opposition, and event ual wars, in which the weaker confederates would look to fi reign aid and foreign alliances. What would be the price of this foreign aid ? A conceded monopolv of the trade of the States thus calling in an auxiliary, or advantages which would 1 .i . tending rivals who were once countrymen and bro- I thers. In short, it is useless to onctrato farther v.-au.,.. uiil- wii uuuui inai , commerce oi me outn, or ot that por- w . .o u.,i ipiuit-u u-iJiou, "men caueu in ner ( aid. would raduallv hn mniir.nnlimd hv rnnlnml i . , " J ' j o who nouiu inus reap lar greater advantages from . mo ciaius, man sue gained irom , their actual dependence as colonies. Let no one, therefore, bf blind to the deep into? rest which England has in alienating and separating the different members of this great and growing confederation. Such a catastrophe would at once relieve her rulers from all apprehension of danger from the contagion of our example, for the signal of separation would be the knell of our freedom, our hnppincs, and our glory. The different dis cordant portions would become objects of pity and contempt, not admiration or fear. It would also most assuredly remove all dauger of naval or com mercial rivalry, for it is only by uniting in one com mon bond of union, and one common system of trade that we can ever Iiojkj to compete with England either in one or the other object. The United States once separated into discordant rivals, or inveterate enemies, and England would reign without a com petitor in trade, a rival on the ocean, and a pros tectivo rival in arts and manufactures. Nay, we go still further, and say, that on the permanence of the union of these Statos depends the great question whether the new world shall continue forever in a state of base inferiority to the old ; its dependent, its toad cater, and its slave. We ask, then, if sufficient has not bGen adduced in this, and the precoding article, to prove pretty distinctly that the abolitionists of this country are the tools and instruments of English Societies, En glish politicians, and English aristocracy? That they are supplied with English gold ; that they op erate with English agents, are aided designedly. and for the accomplishment of the purpose here indicated, by the whole force of the English press, and by the whole weight of English influence ? It was against this foreign influence the great Father secure mat monopoly ; a leenng of, and an actual the oppressions of landlords and parsons, shot down, dependence on foreign aid, and a necessity of pay- cut down, and ridden over bv hireling soldiers ; or ing that price which is always paid by the weak condemned without jugde, jury, or trial, by irrita when they purchase the assistance of the strong ted or drunken soldiers, executing the ' behests of wo moan the price of Indojndence. , Lynch's, or in other words, martiaf law at pleasure. ho would bo the most elhcientally in this state Finally, let them in the names of the Creator of of things?

Will the States, or tho peoplo ot the United States, sutler themselves to be duped into a similar fate, by the arts of selfish politicians, and rival tra ders, operating with such paltry, such pitiful instru ments as the leaders of the abolitionists? Will they plunge headlong into the gulf which they themselves cannot but see yawning right before : them as plain as the light of day, and sacrafice themselves not to save, but to ruin their country. Will they suffer themselves to be cheated, bam boozled, and misled into the evident excesses of a fatal philanthropy, chasing abstract dogmas to the very verge of absurdity, and seeking impracticable good at the certain risk of wide incalculable evils? Will they, in short, forfeit their birthright which has decreed to them the possession of a country withiout a parallel in its natural advantages, w ith out a rival in its political institutions,, and whose future destinies cannot but inspire them with the most glowing anticipations ? And for what ? To create a nation of ignorant blacks, who neither know how to enjoy their freedom, or to gain a sub sistence, and make England once again the arbiter of our prosperity, the monopolist of trade, the mis tress of the seas, the plunderer of our ships, and the kidnapper of our seamen. She prate of free dom! Why, the impressed sailor on board an En- ghsh man-of-war, is ten times more a slave than j the blacks of the South; and not only in the extent j of his labors, but most especially in the miserable ; with fictitious horrors. We earnestly recommend, that in order not to be ' behindhand with the English philanthropists in their disinterested exertions in behalf of the black Staves i of tho United States, that we should reciprocate ( their kindness. Let us forthwith establish societies ; for the purpose of interfering between tho owners lers and murderers that the impressed seamen have a right to mutiny at any time, murder their o.Iicers, and burn, sink, and destroys or run away with the ship at pleasure ; that punishments for the conflagration of bams, haystacks and other proner - tv of the farmers, which occasionally occur in En ijiij-muu, am uwiiiiwi ucis ui i raunv aiui miusiice. i :i-. i ! since the possession of such property is contrary ! to the law of God and nature.

SOUTHERN TRADE RICIIMONt. The Boston Courier has the good sense to ex press itself as follows, on tho proposition now in agitation, that the South import for herself. We commend it to the perusal of certain gentlemen in this quarter, who in their zeal for a Northern can-r didate, have found a mare's nest in the preamble and resolutions before the Committee of Vigilance. The Boston Courier, Northern from top to toe, thinks the proposition that the South should import for herself, without paying millions to New York, every year to import for her, extremely reasona ble and right " certainly (it says) every man and every State, will consider its own interest in this respect and act accordingly." So wo had really supposed was the dictate of common sense, which a man or a community might follow, without en dangering or being suspected of a wish to endan ger, our " blessed Union." Not so, however : A proposition to encourage Southern trade, Southern interest, Southern prosperity, is met by one ass in the public prints, with the denunciation of being a direct recommendation to dissolve the Union, and is formally assailed by a certain coterie as if it were neither more nor less than the wooden horse itself, which was to be insinuated by Sinon arts, into the heart of the city. What does this mean, but that we have those among us who are New York in their politics, New York in their affections, New York in all their thoughts, and are resolved to har ness us to the car of the Empire State. Dismiise it as they may, the master feeling peeps out of every loop hole But to the good sense of tho Boston Courier-! " Southern ingenuity seems at length to have hit nihilate the Abolitionists and their principles. A suspension of commercial intercourse is the lever which is to overturn them, acting on the supposed avarice of the merchants, traders, and manutactUi rers of the North. There an certainly be no ob-, jection to any combinations which may be formed at the fcouth for the purpose of rendering the peo. pie of that region independent of Northern trado and manufactures. If such a disposition had pre vailed there ten years ago, we should never have, heard of Southern opposition to a protecting tariff out of which grew the whole affair of Nullification, Let the Southern merchants send their cotton and, tobacco direct to France and England, and import, in return their own supplies of silks, muslins, wool, lens, wines, and hard-ware ; they might have pur, sued such a course 3-ears ago. Why did they not doit? Doubtless they found it more advantageous to carry on this trade by the help of Northern; ships, and through the agency of Northern mer chants. If they find it now more advantageous ta have a non-intercourse with u, we do not know that the North has any riit to complain, or tha?. it will have any- emise cf complaint. Certainly fc every man, and every State, will consider its ovV self interest in this respect, and act accordingly." A Northern paper says : Southern Convention, Dissolution of the Union, Non-Iutercourse are the topics most prominent in a number of the Southern papers. All this is worse than foolish.' It em akk.-s No doubt the writer of the above, and other aiders and abettors, virtually, of the Aboli tionists, would much prefer our being "foolish," to our proposing measures for the effectual suppression of the nusiancc. We trust that the Tappanites, and all who gie them aid and comfort, will find the South much " icorse than foolish." We would cer tainly give credit for the paragraph above quoted, but we tlnd it without any credit among the selec-v, tions of the New York Gazette. When the North refuses, as it seems it does, to o-o farther than the " expression of opinion " against the abohtiunists, does it expect the South to be so " fool, ish" as to rely upon 'thc force of opinion'" to ex tinguish the fires which the Incendiariesare kindlino-. Shall we not try deeds, if the North continues to answer, Hamlet like, nothing but " words words words ?" Charleston Mercury. The French Indemnity. A correspondent at Washington predicts that the message of the Pre sident of the United States at the assembling of Congress, will be any thing but Jlattcring to the? insulted dignity of France, and in no wise of a pa cijic natuie. Although we have unbounded confi dence m our correspondent v we doubted th correct ness of his information on this head, and still hope he may be in error; the following from the Globe of Tuesday, very plainly indicates that in the esti mation of the official our difficulties with France are not yet arranged. We look upon this intima tion as being made "by authority,''' and under the circumstances, feel authorized in calling upon the editor to be more specific in relation to the position of our affairs with France. It is a question iu which the mercantile interests of the country are deeply concerned, and the people have a right to know, whether by the Administration, it is conside red arranged, or whe-her there are still difficulties in tho way of an adjustment which may produce a rupture between the two countries. In reply to the JYashciUe Banner, calling upon Mr. Grundy to sustain the claims of Judge White for the Presidency, the Globe holds the following. language : "The Nashville print, therefore, means to say4 that Mr. Grundy is expected to take a course in the Senate calculated to advance Jud"-e White's in terest that is to say, on the Expunging Resolu tion, he must vote with Judge White to slnke out the word "expunge," and all the reasons condemn ing Clay's denunciation of tiie President he must vote for Mr. Calhoun's Bill, making the tenure of the subordinate agents of the Executive as "stable as freehold," by way of supporting the charges le velled by the Nullifiers lleport against the Presi dent, of proscription and corruption in the disposi tion of Executive patronage he must act icith Mr. Webster and the opposition in any course they may decise, to embarrass him in his controrersy icith France, and he must go with Jude White against all Executive nominations, if that be neces sary to secure the opposition to the support of the Judge ! ! !" Surely the words which we have placed in italic are of great import, and in behalf of the commer cial interests of the country we call upon the Globe, for an explanation. What docs this mean ? The Louisville Journal says : " We suspect that Bucker, after all, was a saint in comparison with some of his associates in the Baltimore Convention. Wo have a letter be fore us from a respectable gentleman, who states, that one of the chief officers of that bod-, whose name we think proper for the present to suppress, brought an action at law, a few years ago, against a distinguished fellow-citizen, for charging him with being a free negro or mulatto and with having poi-. soned his own wife. The verdict teas for the de fendant. The charges were proved to the Jury's ! entire satisfaction." Trie Passions pulling the string. A late au thor, not inaptly, compares the human being to "one of those figures that children buy at fairs, with hia arms and legs, and even his head, hung on wires-i and with the passions to pull the string at the back not only without his volition, but often against hia will. Wrath pulls, and he kicks ; revenge pulls, and he strikes ; jealousy pulls, and he writhes ; fear pulls, and he runs; love pulls, and he dances," and so on. Thus the poor man, by allowing his passion the mastery, is made a mere puppet of, for tho sport of others. Ho that would avoid this result, must beware how he permits the passions to get possession of the string ; for once they get hold of it, and they compel him to cut a thousand fantastic capers, which in his cooler moments, he looks back upon with chagrin and shame. A FACT. A couple of friends, in a late duel in England, not possessing, in any very high degree, a knowledge of gunnery, came near shooting their seconds. I he latter, on reloading the pistols and handing them to the principals, said " Perhaps it will be as wei fof you, gcntlemcD, the next time, to fire at each other.5'
