The following note upon Uncle Tom's Cabin was sent to us by a gentleman in Georgia:—

  "Mrs. Stowe has written an elegant novel, but though it is only a fiction, it is one of the most incendiary papers ever issuing from the American press. It is insulting to the South, because Mrs. Stowe wants the world to believe that all she as written is true! There is one fact however stated in the book, which cannot be controverted, and that is, 'that negroes are sold and bought and held as property.' Now this species of property so held in the Southern States, amounts in round numbers to one thousand millions of dollars—the labor of the slave states produces annually in cotton, rice, and tobacco alone, upwards of one hundred and twenty millions of dollars, giving employment to a vast amount of New-England and Old-England shipping—besides employing an immense amount of capital and labor in Old and New-England. If Mrs. Stowe and her associates in America and Great Britain, think that the Southern people are so inconsiderate as to give up their property for nothing, and then keep the negroes in a state of idleness as they are kept in Jamaica, they are certainly mistaken. Even on the supposition, for argument sake, that slavery is an evil, how was it brought here, and by whom? The present owners hold generally by inheritance and some by purchase. But if abolition must be resorted to, for the expunging a national evil, how is it to be effected? and who is to bear the burthen? Will New-England come and buy the negroes, take them away and manumit them? or will the government of the United States pay for them and colonize them pro rata, amongst all the states and territories of the Union, until they can be gradually colonized in Africa? Why, if the slaves were to be liberated instanter, and without compensation, the entire South would become desolate—the people would be ruined! and it would be the worst day's work ever done for Old-England, and probably for New-England too: it would shake the government of Old-England to its very foundations, if it did not entirely overthrow it! Great Britain would rather look for a division of the United States, and expect to have all the trade of the Southern States to herself, taking the cotton, tobacco, and other products, and returning manufactured goods, and by this means retard the growing prosperity of the United States, and stave off her own downfall for a century or two. If the negroes are to be emancipated, let the abolitionists count the cost,—the whole country must bear it, under a system of apprenticeship and colonization, and not otherwise.

  "The Pharisees lay grievous burthens, but are not willing to lift one of them with their little finger. Would Mrs. Stowe (or any abolitionist) give up all her property, including the avails of Uncle Tom's Cabin, for any purpose whatever? or would she even relinquish the anticipated pleasure of her contemplated trip to Europe, in pure sympathy for the black race? She will find abundant vice, penury, want, and almost starvation, if she will look for it, in Europe, [sic.] She ought to get up a book for the universal amelioration and equalization of mankind, and point out the ways and means how to perfect so desirable a system.
