country with their vicious refuse pauper population, and by agitating
the subject of slavery among us. Unfortunately for us, England in her
nefarious designs upon our country, has always found too many allies,
aiders and abettors, in our midst. I will not say, that Mrs. Stowe had
designs upon the liberties of her country, when she wrote Uncle Tom's
Cabin; but this I will say, that in writing that book, she performed
an acceptable service for the enemies of her country, for which it
seems, from recent demonstrations, they are profoundly thankful. Be it
as it may, she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin; the work was republished in
England, and we are credibly informed, that it has almost supplanted
the Bible in that country. Travelers tell us, that nothing else is
talked about throughout the British dominions. They received it, I
suppose, as a revelation from heaven--revelation of higher authority
than the Bible, for the reason, that it is of more recent origin.
Well, she is invited to England by the nation _en masse_; and if the
Saviour of the world should perchance make his advent into the British
Isles, on the day that she lands in that country, I think it highly
probable, that he would be forced a second time to _take lodgings in a
manger_. He might wander through the country unnoticed and unknown,
while the whole nation were draggling after Mrs. Stowe's petticoat. He
might again be forced to exclaim, "the foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his
head" to rest. No Marthas and Marys would be found in that reprobate
country, to minister to him. If so, they would be found among the
"lowly," and we understand that they have no part or lot in Mrs.
Stowe's visit. No! no! she has made money enough by her "_life among
the lowly_" and now she is preparing to take her stand among the
aristocracy of England.

We have had from time to time all sorts of _isms_ and _schisms_ in
