The celebrity of this work cannot be disputedi
not i would manic you, as a uoutnern man, lor

The book if full of these tnalirious and "mi pos
sible inventions, narrated, in the form of anecdote
as incidents parallel to that on which, ia a great
measure, the whole story hangs tie sale f'tlir
mulatto child four years of ae.
But these extracts will he sufficiently mgges
tivb to the mind of every reader, and w ill pass
on to other reflections. .
. The guarantees afiorded to slaves by the laws,
wherever slaves exist in this country, are wholly
overtoiled by this scandalous libeller, and the
laws themselves made the object of her attack.
On page 23, vol. J, she says :
: Whoever visits some estates (Kentucky.) and
witnesses tho goutl-humorcd indulgence ul sonu
masters and mistresses, and the ullVctioiiulw loyal
ty of some slaves, might be tempted to dream thu
oil-fntneu pootic legend ol a itrinrehai Institu
tion, and all that; but over and above the scene
there broods a portentous shadow the shud,ow of
law. '
Thus she prepares her readers to resist truth,
by designating a great fact, within her knowledge
an "ott-fablcd legend ' and substitutes bpr In
sidious fictions in the place of fact. Tho simple
provisions of the law for the security of the rights
of every slave aie well known to Mrs. Beecher
Stowe. But of tlicso she takes care her fpadcrs
shall know nothing by any word or agency pf hers
For instance, any magistrate may coui(iel a pias
ter to sell his slave upon proof of ilhtreatnicnt ;
and again, no master can require his slave to work
in sickness or old age, but is compelled to main
tain him. I tnciUion these as examples, showing
that legislation has provided all slaves with secu
rity fur a degree of comfort and enjoyment to
which the poor hireling never attains.
I shall not quarrel with Mrs. Beecher Stowe
upon questions which merely involve her personal
tastes; but it may be fruitful of bencvolpnt reflec
tion to quote nnother passage, (p. 17 ) which af
fords us the usual description of the heroine of a
novel in this case applied to a favorite mulat
rets the mother of little Harry:
There needed only a glance from tho cjiihl to
tier, ft lit: mulatrcsx) to identify her as its niotlier
Thero was tho same rich, full dark eye, with iu
long lashes ; the same ripples of silky black. The
brown of her complexion gave way, on tho cheek,
to a perceptible flush, which deepened as thy saw
the gaze of the strange man fixed upon her, in
bold and undisguised admiration. Her dress was
ot the neatest possible fit and set oft to advantage
her finely moulded shape ; a delicately formed
hand and a trim foot and ankle, &c.
If baboons could write as well as Mrs. Stowe,
they would, no doubt, describe their heroines in
tho same language ; it would be as easily applied,
and be equally disgusting. But such stuff as this
complies the most innocent portions of her work;
it may do what it was designed to do amuse.
If Southerners, or any that know those whom Mrs
Beecher Stowe calls "quadroons, or mulatressca,"
do not smile at the paragraph quoted above, they
will hardly resist doing so on reading the next
(P- 27.)
The traveller in the South must often have re
marked that peculiar air of refinement, t hat soft
ness of voice and manner, which seems in many
cases so be a particular gilt, to the quadroon and
mulatto woman. This confounding of the quad
roon (or quadroon) and mulatrcss, on the part of
Mrs. Beecher Stowe, would Indicate an ignorance
of her subject, of which I can find no other evi
dence. It will hardly do. Mrs, Stowo knows
that the quadroon aud mulatrcss arc no rnoro the
same than the mulatrcss and the African negroes
are. She knows that the mulatrcss involves one
act of amalgamation, the quadroon four. The lat
ter are seldom slaves, because the child following
the cofMition of the .mother, freedom is almost in
variably accomplished before so many removes. I
Her heroine is obviously a mulatrck.
It may bo remarked that this "nice yaller" com-;
plexion, and tho "silky" wool, result from a social
abuse, which such influential and humane ladies
as our author, contribute greatly to increase, by
levelling the conditions of white and balck,and in
citing the "bold and undisguised admiration" of
white men for nigger heroines.
Tho grqund work of this book that is, the sale
of Uncle Tom and the chi'd Ilarry to a negro tra
der h- of iteff, tm iippossibjo.fictigu. Not only
noncof Mrs. Beecher Stowtsi facts, but no imag
inative facts, eould have made .the surrender of
these slaves to the trader at all necessary. The
latter is represented as holding $hqlby's promis
sory notes to the amount of their.value. He was
not a judgment or a mortgage .creditor; and had
he been, conld have reachod only the proceeds of
the proey by a judicial proocedjnf. Shelby
besides had other slaves, of no extraneous value
to him from household considerations; so that
the trader .could have had no arbitrary means of
reaching these particular slaves; and moreover,
he could nut have wanted them. One Is mnch
too old, and the other much too young, to be mar
ketable. Yet he is represented as the owner by
purchase without delivery, and as pursuing the
child, after the escape, at great personal labor and
cxpcno. Every fiction should present only prob
abilities. But a fiction of the character of this
one, should observe the nicest accuracy and fidel
ity to truth. False assutnjkions arc lies, criminal
in proportion as their purpose involves malice or
m it-chief.
Thus wc-havcomc Idea of the basis which Mrs.
Beecher Stowe has provided upon which to build
her famous work. So little, however, can be said
In a alnglo article of reasonable length, that I con'
elude (bls.by soliciting leave tocoutinue the sub
ject in another.

peath of Mr. vtfebstery-Town Meeting.
In pnifiiance of a call made by W. C. Howard,
Esq , M. P., to tho citizens of this place, in regard
to the death of the great statesman, Daniel Web
ster, a meeting was held last evening, at the Court
House, when, on motion of Col. W. E. Anderson.
W. C. Howard, M. P., was called to the Chair, and
M. Cronly and J. J. Conoly, requested to act at
Secretaries.
The chairman havjiig explained the object of
the meeting, on njotion, it was
Ifcsiitre That a commit f.-e consisting of Col.
W. E. Anderson, Jno. A. Taylor, Z. Latimer, aud
John McAuslin, be appointed to draft resolutions
to be submitted to the meeting.
The committee, after a short absence, reported
through (.heir Chairman, Col. W. K. Anderson, the
following preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
When those who formed the bright andgloiions
constellation that illumed our political hemis
phere during the period of our revolutionary his
tory, sunk one by one beneath the horizon, 'till all
who had added lustre to opr country's glory be
came obscured, the patriotic lover of our institu
tions might well have apprehended, lest a dark
obscurity would long hangover the troublous and
agitated scenes of the new political experiment
when they were gone ; and that we should never
louk upon the like again of those men who guided
our country so successfully through the stormy
billows of our revolutionary troubles, put He
who rides upon tho wind, and djreefs the storm,
as well in tho moral -as in tho natural world; left
not the patriot's heart uncheercd ; for eveo before
the twilight of departing greatness had faded
away, there arose another bright and beautiful
cluster, whose dawning, as it opened upon the
world with gradually increasing lustre, gave assu
rance that tho dangers of the political storm were
passed and that all was well. The great men who
were starsof the first magnitude in this second con
stellation of our country's history, have accom
plished their glorious task, and have also depar
ted. But. though they can no longer actively con
trol that country's destiuy as it was once their
wunt to do, yet the memory of ther noble deeds
when living, will shed its hallowed influence over
the councils of our nation, until our statesmen
cease to feel how much more glorious it is for
statesman to consult tho people's interest, rather
than seek the people's favor. For the last forty
years so intimately have the names of Calhoun,
Clay and Webster been interwoven with our coun
try's history, that could those names bo blotted
from remembrance, that history would be a blank.
But one by one, they too, have sunk, if not with
'all their country's honors blest," yet attended
with all that universal outburst of a nation's grief,
which feels that it has sustained a nation's loss;
and could the spirit of him to whoso memory this
night we are especially assembled, to pay our por
tion of a nation's tribute, look back upon his
country, he would find that country which he lo
ved so well, even Riuid the contending elements of
political strife, hushing the angry passions of par
ty contest, and bowed ia universal sorrow for the
patriot stateman, who, living above party, lived
for his country its Constitution, And its Union.
Rapidly over our land the intelligence has spread,
that Daniel Webster the great intellect which,
more than any other, gave a world-wide reputa
tion to American statesmanship, was no moro ;
and back from every quarter comes a deep, unan
imous response of public sympathy and sorrow.
Tho citizens of our town, participating iu the
general regret at the death of one so eminently
great, having as-sembled to pay a last tribute to
his memory. Be it therefore resolved
That it having been the will of Him who rules
the destinies of nations, to remove by death, the
great patriot and statesman, Daniel Webster, we
participate w ith the, deepest sorrow and regret, in
thu feelings his loss has occasioned every citizen
of our country.
That we deem a public demonstration of nation
al grief a proper tribute to departed greatness;
and that a committee be appointed to make suit
able arrangements, nt some future day, for cele
brating the memory of Daniel Webster.
The following persons were then appointed a
committee of arrangements, under tho second res
olution, and requested to cieut at the ofUco of the
Commissioners of tho town, on Saturday evening

on replied as follows:

tiful provinces in the South, aud to ascertain the

"It lias, however, led to a far more important
result. I may say, indeed, with candor, as far re
moved from.the Prince as from false modesty, that
never did a people more directly more spontane
ouslymore unanimously testify their determina
tion to free themselves from all uneasiness res

is peace. For France desires It, and when France
is satisfied the world is tranquil." These words,
uttered in a firm voice and with a strong empha
sis, produced a magical effect, and enthusiastic
"bravos" were heard on all sides.

The Elizabeth Jane at Havana Important
Corrections.
It has been stated in several of the New York
papers, that the bark Elizabeth Jane, at this port
from Havana, was, while at Iho latter port, search
ed from stem fo stern, for illicit correspondence,
and treated with great indecorum and improprie
ty. In fact, the acts of tho Cuban officials are
described as "Another Insult to the American lag."
We have seen her commander, Captain E. Brooks,
a gentleman justly esteemed and every way reli
able, w'no informs us that tho account is altogeth
er erroneous, aud thU-he liad notLiug to complain
of against the authorities. Tho letters and pa
pers were as usual demanded by the officers who
boar.ded and in consequence, it is believed, of
misinformation a light search was made for pre
sumed illicit correspondence in the cabin.
Tho whole was, however, conduced with civili
tyand the captain having given tip a few pri
vate letters tnat ho had In Tns possession tne
qbief Cuban officer looked at the directions and
said "oh ! Captain, wo .know the parties, and
those letters are of no consequence." Captain
Brooks thought so very little of the circumstance.
that he did not even mention It to his owners,
Messrs. Ohl & 8ons and he is naturally much
surprised to find that hi New York such a moun
tain should be made out ot nothing.
