HUMBOLDT ON AMERICAN SLAVERY.

We clip the following extract from a private let-ter of Mr. Julius Froebel, communicated to the Tribune by the Baron’s consent. It is a green spotindeed to see this eminent man so strong in a pointwhere so many young and old in this country haveshown themselves so weak and unsound. ‘Your next volume, on the political future ofAmerica, would I, almost the original Adam, gladlylive to see. Continue to brand the shameful devo-tion to slavery, the treacherous importation of ne-groes, under the pretence of their becoming free—ameans to stimulate the hunting of negroes in theinterior of Africa. What atrocities have been wit-nessed by one who had the misfortune to live from1789 to 1858! My book against slavery (PoliticalEssay on the Island of Cuba) is not prohibited inMadrid, but cannot be published in the UnitedStates, which you call ‘The Republic of distin-guished people,’ except with the omission of every-thing that relates to the sufferings of our fellow-men, who, according to my political views, are en-titled to the enjoyment of the same freedom as our-selves. Add to this, the anathema on other racesof men, forgetting that the most ancient cultivationof humanity, before that of the white Hellenicrace in Assyria, in Babylon, in the valley of theNile, in Iran, in China, was the work of coloredmen, though not wooly haired. I still work hard, mostly in the night, because Iam unmercifully tormented with a correspondence,for the most part, of not the slightest interest. Ilive joyless in my 89th year, because of the muchfor which I have ardently striven from my earlyyouth, so little has been accomplished. With renewed expressions of the friendship ofmany years, which political events have nevertroubled, I am ever your illegible

Al. Humboldt.

Berlin, January 11, 1858.
