ter 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_.
