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 this world; and Yankee ingenuity has furnished us, withal, with a great variety of notions and notable things; among which, wooden nutmegs, wooden bacon hams, horn gun flints and wooden seeds of different kinds, are not the least remarkable.  We certainly have had isms enough to indulge the whims and caprices, and to suit the peculiar predilections, prejudices and prepossessions of all concerned; but it appears from present indications, that we are about to have a new ism forced upon us, whether we will or no.  I allude to Uncle Tomism, which I beg leave to call Tomism, as it will sound rather more euphonious.  It is rumored that this new sect, viz., the Tomites, have spread with great rapidity through the New England States within the past year; and it is moreover reported, that they have many adherents in other parts of the Union.  It must have been the rapid spread of Mormonism that first suggested the idea to Mrs. Stowe, the founder of this sect; for like Jo.  Smith, she has furnished her adherents with a novel for their Bible; and it is said that a Key to its mysteries is forthcoming.  In order that nothing should be wanting for their enlightenment, edification and comfort, a distinguished D.D. of a neighboring city, has furnished them with an elaborate Commentary.  The Key and Commentary I have not seen, but their Bible, viz., Uncle Tom’s Cabin, I have read.  However popular Tomism may be in America, it is said to be more so in England.  It appears that this Woolyism, alias, Tomism, has spread with unparalleled rapidity throughout, the British domains, and Mrs. Stowe has hastened to that country to instruct them in the doctrines and mysteries of this New Revelation.  I would suggest to the English nation, that they suffer Mrs. Stowe to make her debut on the lord chancellor’s woolsack.  Black wool, of course, would be most appropriate on this occasion, and withal, most significant of her mission.
