A Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin Part 8

Letter writers travel South--Misrepresentations,

Northern men mislead by abolition papers, and Uncle Tom's Cabin,

Sectional hatred is engendered thereby, and the Union endangered.

Slavery agitation has r.e.t.a.r.ded emanc.i.p.ation, riveted the chains of slavery, and inflicted injury on masters and servants,

The revolutionary designs and tendencies of abolitionism,

The Union based on the slavery compromise,

Those who invade the rights of the South, are guilty of not only a civil, but also of a moral trespa.s.s. The primitive church was subordinate to the civil authorities. Language of Christ and his Apostles,

Contrast between Christ and his Apostles, and the apostles of modern reform,

SECTION II.

Is universal emanc.i.p.ation safe or practicable? What would be the consequences?

Idleness, vagrancy and crime, the fruits of emanc.i.p.ation,

There is not a free negro in the limits of the United States,

Universal prejudice against the African race. The African no where allowed the ordinary privileges of the white man,

Free negroes of Baltimore--their appeal to the people of the United States. Judge Blackford. Dr. Miller,

Slavery agitation of foreign origin. Slavery not extinct in the British dominions. The English poor,

White slavery and negro slavery,

The condition of African slaves in the United States better than the ma.s.s of European laborers. Slavery exists in every part of the British dominions,

British Asiatic Journal. Dr. Bowering. Duke of Wellington. Sir Robert Peel and the London Times,

Madame Stowe has caricatured, slandered and misrepresented her country, to please the English people. She is invited to England.

Reflections. The wreck of nations. Cardinal virtues. Bigotry and fanaticism. Advice to ladies,

SECTION III.

_Isms and Schisms. Tomism_ in England and America,

SECTION IV.

Popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin in England and America. Its designs, tendencies, injustice, falsehood, &c.

The Bible. Cupidity and hypocrisy,

The "inward man." Self deception,

Mrs. Stowe's object in writing her book,

Its reception. The conclusion of the whole matter. Yankee ingenuity.

Hypocrisy,

"Gain is G.o.dliness," and their pretended G.o.dliness is all for gain.

English emissaries and abolition editors. Motives that prompt the abolition party to action. Sympathy for the African race a mere pretense, or affectation of superior sanct.i.ty,

England's inconsistency. John Bull a bigoted, meddlesome old hypocrite. "Charity begins at home." Treatment of free negroes North, by abolitionists,

SECTION V.

Harsh epithets applied to Southern slaveholders by abolitionists,

The Sacred Record. G.o.d alone was competent to decide what was best for masters and servants, individuals and nations. Every departure from the Sacred Oracles is practical infidelity,

The Bible alone is a safe and sure guide. Nothing can mitigate the evils of slavery, but a rigid observance of its precepts on the part of masters and servants,

The African derives no benefit from emanc.i.p.ation if he remain among us. Mrs. Stowe would have us subst.i.tute greater evils for lesser--"out of the frying pan into the fire." She has told a wondrous story,

Uncle Tom's Cabin. Free negroes' tales. Negro novels, village gossip, busy-bodies, idlers, loafers and liars,

Slavery is not an evil under all circ.u.mstances. It would have proved a blessing to the slaves, if masters and servants had complied with the requisitions of the Bible. None so much to blame as abolitionists. The condition of an individual may be such, that he is fit for nothing but a slave,

The evil consists in the incompetence of the individual, and not in that condition or station in life, to which his incompetency subjects him. Hence, the evils of slavery have their origin in its abuses,

The African in his native state. Negroes transported to the United States. Slavery in Africa. Captives taken in war. Cruelty of negro overseers. Ignorant men hard masters. African masters,

One portion of the African race are slaves to another--the larger portion slaves. American and African slavery,

The slaves of the South have superior religions advantages. Southern clergy,
