The London Standard, enumerating aoine imaginary causes of disunion of the United Stales, sayB : ' To this, which may be regaxded as an inert gagse of separation, more active repug nance are added the Northern States are, in great part, manufacturers the Southern States exclusively ngricu.'ttiral. The North ern States are wisely resolved to protect tlteir manufacturing industry, by high tariffs, and being sufficiently agricultural to supply their own want, thcjnrc wholly independent of tho Slates of the South, upon which States the high tariffs of the Northern States recoil with injurious effect. Thirdly, the NorthcWiStates have abolish ed slavery in ll eir own territory, and are manifesting a strong disposition to compel the Southern Slates to abolish it also The people of the Southern States, however, have lorigtelreved thnt, to einnncipat their slaves, would throw their land out of culti vation, nnd render it perfectly worthless. We may believo that they are mistaken in this opinion, but questionless, the late prac tical proclamation of the British Legisla ture, that slave labor cannot be dispensed with in hot climates, must tcnJ powerfully i to confirm this opinion in those once pos sessed by it Meanwhile, the abolitionists of the Northern Plates ,-ue as violent and . : i . . n" c I as intolerant as ever 'u, u"i utnmvn ui the righteousness of abolishing slavery has ndver for a mmnenl, wavered. We believe that the Creator has destined all the earth thai he ha formed for cultivation, and that lie has destined all his rational creatures to freedom . we, therefore, cannot admit that there is any portion of the world, least Of all the richest portion of it, thnt can becnl- a' at." tivated only br slnve; ana u our aooimon have failed to any extent, wbtc'.i we doubt, the failure is, we nre satisfied, due to the neglect of raising the West Indian negroes lo the rank of rational bemgs, oetore ma king them free agents. But though our opinion of the righteousness of the aboli tion of slavery has never wavered, we are bound to confess that the last few rears have greatly modified our optn ton of ' abolitionists.' These few years have proveo that at least three fourths of those who most loudly clamored for 'ernan cipanpn,' in 1 53 1 and' lt?32, were nothing belter (Uuakcxs included) than disgusting hypocrites men who coxed nothing for the happiness of black men or while men, or anything but their personal popularity or personal profit As men are not found to improve by crossing the Atlantic we must fonehide that th proportion of honest and good men amonar ,,' abolitionists' ir the Northern Huitcs ia not ttreater than it has proved among our own 'abolitionists,' and if such be the , case, or, thearoo thii) Jf the Southern republican! ktieyaf after example they wclL tnajr)'.auch to Le ihe case, they must feel insulted as welt as endangered, when threatened, as they ar by their northern fellow-cituerm with ,a compulsory of slavery We give the above specnlntiont that our renden may aee how much these educated ami talented men, an Iondon editors are or might to be, know of the world whkh they inhabit. It seems ,aa if everything eouM find its way ncrosg the Atlantic ocean but facts. Emigranta of all classes, convicts, cockney tourists and British manufactures can get here, and our cotton and some other products can get therr hut the tailing-vessel has not yet betfn launched, nor trie steam-pacKet bunt, whtcn ha conrty- d to bngland a rational idea of thte cotfn try, of its institutions, pf its character, of Its capacity, or of ita prt)ect More than evenly years have passed since our coun try became independent, and started on that caieer of freedom and greatness which i destined yet W throw it broad shadow over the mins of the British Empire ; and till, to this day; the writer and statesmen of Great Hritnin have pronounced it a 'Jo nah's gourd,' ring in a nighty and destined to perish ere morning. Day has pasted after day, and the 'gourd' has not wither ed j month has passed after month, and it has become more green nnd strong ; year has followed yenr, and it no longer looks like a feeble vine, dependent upon otfrer objects for support and elevation, but has become n great nnd glorious tree, the mon arch and the pride of the forest, striking its rools deep into the generotls earth, and in viting beneath its broad branches, the op pressed of every clime. Yet, still its down fall is predicted with a3 much 3WaI aV(5) cnty years ngo. Still, disunion, and ,Ctvil war are tho burthen of British tongues Still they are talking of our downfall, for gc.tipg all the time that, while we are Itrogpeioua and growing and happy, tho very reverse is" their own confrilion. Let them look at the storm which is gathering over their own ship, instead qf straining their eyes lo sec if our Republic will not go down. Englishmen talking to ;the Americans of the end of thoir government ! It u like haggard and decrcpid Age, with one foot in the grave, running its finger over the smooth anlosy cheek of Youth, and mistaking its joyous dimples for the furrows of decaying life, and its healtbul flush for the hcciic of consumption. Our wiso London paper mentions among the "active repugnances" of our unfortu nate country the fact that "the .Northern. Stales nre, in great part mamrfactarera the Southern States, exclusive agricultural Now, even admitting this to be true, we should regard it as a buid of nion instead of an entering wedge of disunion. If all our Slates were manufacturing, or all ag ricultural, there would b a fatal collision and conflict of interests, but when there ia a diversity of employments, and one pdrtion makes bread while the others make cloths, we should consider it an arrangement which would be 'found quite convenient and comfrtrtable for both parties. L.V one section wehav5 sugar, in another' 'corn,' in another cotton, in another 'manufacturers, and the only.rcsult produced is a mutual dependence, leadeing to a mutual union. We admit however, thai there is no reason to prevent the south from becoming a inan- lfactunng country nnd supplying ber own w.tn s ih clothing as well as food, but even then, our ingenious Yankee friends will not desert us on thnt account. They will find oul some new branch of enterprise and energy, in which to retain ibeir old and a clneve niw prosperity. As to the subject of slavery, to which the English paptr refers, that is u a horse of another color " But the "Standard" is as far out in it facts as it is possible even for an English writer to be in any thing that concerns this country. The Northern States are not manifesting a strong digpoai tion to compel the Southern Staljes to' abol ish slayry. The Standard's conclusion will be correct; when his premises happen to be built on anything but fancy, for, un doubtedly when the Northern States com mit any such torn foolerr as the (Standard attributes to them, the Union is at an end. Fortunately, there is no prospect of any such event. In regard to the opinions ex pressed on slavery, we have ook 4 cay iha L if Englishmen believe, as the Stand ard nays, that "the Creator has el:tnei all the earth tlat he has formed for cultiva tion, and all his national creatures for free dom," the sooner England Opens1 her5" Vast parks and nobleman's forests in England and Ireland to cultivation for the benfits of their siarvmar roar, and the sooner she Uuikes the shackles from the lianbs ofher j white slaves, the better will she becqme to - ' -V- lecture tho rest of mankind on this inrest ing snhjeel The Standard, ascribfe the failure of British emancipation "Id neglect of Mtsing the West India negroes to 'be rank of rational being.
