London Courier of the 7th April,
copies from the AUgemeine Zei
tung an article under the head of
Mentz, March 22(1, which among
other speculations on the com
mercial system of England, the
change in her Colonial policy, and
;the course taken with respect to
the United States," makes a cal
culation that the North of Ger
many "can supply almost all the
articles which till now the British
colonies have been in the habit of
taking from the Americans, a
mouming annually to $12,000,000.
ft is added, that the "west and
south of Germany would partici
pate in these benefits, were the
navigation of the Rhine free."
But another source of supply is
ftlso opened to the British West
halies. A very encouraging pros
pect this, for us of the Southern
sates! What, with the Ger-
tcd as far more guilty in the busi
ness. It is unnecessary to men
tion their names. Though pro
tected by the policy of the laws
from merited punishment, the ex
ecrations of the public will forever
rest upon them. If he who mur
ders a fellow being merits igno
miny and death; what adequate
punishment can be awarded to
him who, instead of leading into
paths of rectitude a poor ignorant
wretch dependant upon him, shall,
by persuasion and bribes and
threats, urge him on to the shed
ding of blood and the gallows!
Surely there is an hereafter!
