Every day wc have glaring instances of an inconsistency in the actions of societies and communities, which, it exhibited hy an individual, would inevitably con sign hint to an abode in a Lunaiic Asylum. We were led to the above reflection by some paragraphs which have recently appeared in cer tain of the English papers, relative to the endeavor to force the trade of opium in the celestial empire, contrary to the open mandates eflho Emperor— mandates founded on the best and most enlight ened principles. I All who are familiar with the dreadful effects produced hy llte excessive use of opium—effects ten lime's more to be uepricated than those at uml aut otr the ,’inmoderalc use ol spirituous liquors— must respect the motives which have induced the Emperor of China to forbid the importation of this baleful drug' into bis extensive dominions. The opium trade L.'*, however, long been the most profitable hranci.' vd commerce between the Rritish East Indies and ll>c Celestial Empire. The Christian subjects of the Rritish Government have held lire monopoly of this i. r ade, and its sup pression, of ceuisc, interferes gtc.. w’ith their gains. I!, hold ilium, therefore, not ijo.wleiit with "] smuggling the forbidden poison into tire \_ hincse ports, hut actually equipping vessels of war ti; at ' lack the revenue boats whoso duly it is to enfott,' the laws of the empire. Opium lias thus been carried violently and by force of arms iiro the heart of the Celestial Em, pile, by the subjects and citizens of a nation whose ell'oi ts in the cause of temperance have made them ren.nrlinblo to ibo wt,-,!., world whoso exertions in effecting the abolition of slave ry have involved them in great trouble and ex pense,and whose tendency to ultra sectarianism lias been a matter of history since the days of Oliver Cromwell. JVnr can this open violation 1 of moral and international law he regarded merely ;«> the act of private individuals, since, in such cases, it is the duly of the government to inter fere—to take an active pari in the suppression of such enormities. This duty they have neglected, and hy thirl neglect encouraged the most lawless j and unprincipled trallie the imagination car. sug gest. And this, too, at tho very lime that Ihe 1 same government has been and is exerting every i nerve, from motives of mistaken philanthropy, to | abolish slavery in the West Indies—an experi- I merit already al tended with a train of difficulties | and disasters which Will soon entirely destroy the 1 prosperity of those Islands under (he British sway. ) What will he the course of the Emperor of ; Chinn in the present exigency it isdilficult (ode !

The i morning before yesietday, however, the child shortly after he had arisen from bed, complained i »» being sick, and was again placed in his bed ( where he remained only a short lime and then leaped out on the floor as if horribly affrighted bv i something, and crouched beneath the bed and tntereo two or three sounds something like the yelping ol a dog.

The New York Committee of Vigilance, which, it will be remembered, is made up ol white and black men, led on by the infamous David , Kugglcs, their black secretary and agent, is avow - edly acting in the name and by tire inaction ol 1 the American Anti-Slavery Society, and is the subject of continual eulogy in Ike Emancipator. I their official organ. t II is but a few days since a worthy and respect able while man, tiro captain of a vessel winch ar rived here from Africa, was arrested on the oath of tliis negro Haggles, on lire charge ol kidnap ! pmg four Africans, and bringing them into this country as Staves; and by Iris means, and by ibis committee, the Captain was pursued into one ol the Eastern States, imprisoned us a felon, relea-cd only upon enormous bail, and was obliged i to defend bis ease at air immense expense be me onr courts. Meanwhile Haggles and his clan I appealed to the public for funds to carry on his j prosecution, and a largo amount war o'o.aincd 1 from the abolitionists for the purpose hut no sooner was the case brought to trial than it was dismissed as a wholly groundless ai d vexatious suit, and the rascal Uugglcs, anti his parly escap with impunity because of their pauperism. Eul now we have another more flagrant exam ple of tiro villainy of this committee of vigilance, which ought to open the eyes of our citizens in the North as well us the South, to the enormities of abolitionism. A gentleman who arrives here with his confidential servant, to whom he en trusts all his property, and of whose attachment to his person he has ample evidence, finds that servant abducted by clandestine means, together with $B,OOO and concealed by this committee of vigilance until $l,OOO reward is offered fur his ar rest, and the recovery of lh» money. Then, for sooth, a friend of this Huggles, after frequent itr terviews with hint, as he admits under oath, visits the gentleman robbed anil oilers to recover the money, on condition of thu freedom of the servant, the $l,OOO reward, ami the pledge not to prose cute either the thief or his accessar ies; and byway of proving ibal he could produce a part of the money, he pays over to bint between one and two thousand. At a subsequent interview ho pays some two thousand more, and when arrested by thu police; he gives up two thousand more decla ring that lin's is all be has yet been able to recov er, thus admitting elrher that be lias access to the thief, or that tiro stolen money is in the hands of necessaries, probably those of the Committee of Vigilance, of which Haggles is tire principal, In the menu lime, Hugglos goes to the master for the clothes of tire slave, whom ho represents to have gone to Canada, but since denies knowing any thing about him. Still, however, a portion of iho money is not recovered, though the whole of the parlies, as far as delected, are now before the police, and Hugglos together with his white friends are under hail fur their appearance at the Sessions for trial, and will, it is to be hoped, to coive their deserts. During the examination at the police, several of the leading Abolitionists were sworn hut they all had the gift of ignorance. One of them, who acknowledges that he lives next door to the bouse where the rubbery was committed, and that this basement is occupied by a colored family, while he passes lor a while man, testifies ho heard his wife say that Tom, the thief, was in the basement of Iris house, having run away Horn Iris master, 1 but professes to know nothing more about him. 1 None of them will tell where the slave is conceal ed, where they have obtained the money or where the rest of the sum is to he found. Vhere ~,t ho little doubt that if Tom could bo forth' there would be a disclosure of names and pet- 1,18 implicated in this abduction and rob bery" vvhiCi' * 8 deemed vastly important to con. coal;’ hence It. liavc stru ‘)g motives fur putting pour Torn oulol ,t* l>e wa y- The aspect of this however, which is most j important, is the exempli..-B* ve * ! practical tendencies of Ahohi. f he Com , milieu of Vigilance boast that thealready I sent oil’ to England and Canada son. e * wo bull * j dred fugitive slaves, and they are even p. 'claim ing their readiness to conceal and scad oh such who may reach New York, thus inviting' ' them here lor the purpose. Many of those have be n seduced from their masters while hereon a visit or passing with their servants through the city, and no doubt many of thorn, before running away, rob their masters It is possible that this committee find the spoils useful in rlreir vocation, us they would have been in the present case but lor detection. Hut the act of Tom in absconding, as well as plundering his master, was the direct result of . the Abolition doctrines, taught him by Iris new 1 associates here.—He was insuuc'cd that his mas ter, whom ho had loved rind front whom be bad received nought but kindness, was nevertheless a ‘•rubber, a pirate, a matt stealer,” and that ail his money was the price of blood.—And as Ire had '•robbed Torn of himself,” ho in turn had a tight to rob his master of a sum sufficient to pay him i for his services—especially if ho would divide the spoils with Haggles and some ••three or four” ol’ this Committee of Vigilance, for tiro benefit of j the cause. | We advise iho Executive Committee of the American Anti Slavery Society, to publish, lortli ' with, a ‘•Narrative of this Torn, an American j Slave,” now that their “narrative of James Wil -1 hums” has been shown to boa “foul foster of ' falsehood.” Eel bis portrait bo taken as in the 1 other case, together with that of the rascal Hug- ! glcsand the other “three or four” who have shared i in the money.—This narrative might sell as well j as the former, and tiro truth would fro sufficiently ; horrible, without any fiction, especially if it | ends, as it ought, in ihe State prison.—.V. 1 i C'u:.
