Genius Of Liberty

PRO-SLAVERY.

HEAR A SOUTHERNER!—Our "southern brethren" really seem to be waking up a little to the storm which rages around them. Their churches are troubled at the doings of northern and foreign ecclesiastics, their wise governors are in agonies at the doings of the World's Convention, and their business men, the last class in any community to be reached, now and then show signs of a consciousness that their day of free plunder (the Natchez translation of free trade,) is almost over. Truly, these patriarchal imitators of Isaac, Abraham and Moses, must be up and doing.

THE WORLD IS DOWN UPON THEM.

The day of redemption is near. The people have begun to resort to their own heaven-derived SOVEREIGNTY, and through the ballot box, speak in tones of terror in the ear of the guilty. Yea, GOD IS COME DOWN TO DELIVER! What will the poor slaveholder do?—Mass. Abolitionist.

Cotton-Growing In India.—The Natchez Free Trader, in copying the account of the great meeting in Manchester, England, with reference to this subject, says:

"It may be remembered that when Capt. Baylies, of the British E. India forces, came to this city, in the early part of last summer, for the purpose of getting men, acquainted with the process of raising cotton, to accompany him to India, the Free Trader was the first journal to denounce his plan, as a dangerous scheme to undermine the prosperity of the American planters, and ruin the sale of their great staple. In no measured terms of rebuke, the Free Trader denounced both those wealthy and influential planters in Adams county, who lent themselves to aid Capt. Baylies in his designs, and those nine young men in the States of Mississippi and Louisiana, who sold themselves to the ancient and inveterate enemy of their native land; but, at that time, the acting editor of that journal knew not the whole enormity of the insidious scheme. Little, perhaps, thought those young planters and overseers, when they consented to go to India, that they were to be used as tools in the unholy hands of the abolitionists!

"Of the startling fact that the East India cotton growing project is but a powerful organization, designed to overthrow the system of domestic slavery, in the American States, we have now the most ample evidence. This evidence we hasten to lay before our readers; it is vitally important to the South, and merits all the deep attention which it will surely receive.

The attitude of the South in sustaining the patriarchal institution of slavery at this moment is full of interest. England is arraying her vast moral, commercial and provincial power against us. The ocean queen is about to work her thirty millions of white slaves and serfs, in the jungles, and on the plains of India, for the express purpose of rendering the labor of three millions of black slaves in America unproductive, and of no value. This will be done. There is no vacillation or weakness of purpose, in the English character. All India will, in a year or two, teem like a vast bee-hive with the cotton enterprise, cheered on by the fratricide abolitionists and mock philanthropists of the northern States. Meanwhile O'Connell, the Irish agitator, is invoked to agitate his countrymen against slavery on this side of the water, while both in Ireland and England his roaring voice is perpetually lifted up in abuse of the noble-hearted, the independent, and the fearless Southern planters as well as the American character at large.

The Kirk of Scotland thunders her anathemas against the American Presbyterians, because they will not excommunicate slave-owning church members. The Wesleyans and Quakers are perpetually using clerical influence against the rights and peace of our social institutions. The royal consort of the queen of England is not ashamed to preside over the opening of a meeting, vauntingly called the "World's Convention," the chief business of which is to abuse American institutions—here Birney, once a slaveholder, and the negro Remond, side by side on the same platform, with the highest bishops of the Church of England, and with O'Connell, led up their voices, traitors as they are, against their "own native land;" all joining in full cry against a domestic institution which has come down unbroken from the "world's gray fathers," the holy patriarchs with whom angels walked and talked."
