For tAe Adcrtw. Mr. Editor.-A %writer, in your paper of the 16th inst., over tie signature of - A Parent," says. in referriig to Proressor Wayland. who is spoken ul as a candidate for the Presidency of the South Carolina College: "That he has indirectly connect. ed himself with the cause of the Abolition ists, noue can deny. who will give them. sebes the trouble of examiiuing his wurk, entitled, Moral Science, as much as any Prokssor I have read of in the untim, aud for this almone. he ought to be discounte nanred 'by nll Sothtlierners." Pemit ime, Mr. Editor, to state, in your cilumis, for the iulormaion of "A Pa rem," and others, what I understand and believe to be the natire oft ie connexion, existin; betw .*en Professor Wayland and time cause um: the Ablmitionits. Wheni the Professor's -. Moral Science" frst appeared: the A hliionists raised the shout of triumph, and hailed the awu-or as their chanipion. The Profes-or unt pub lished another work, entitled. ' Limita tions of Human Responsbilty."* In this work, he gave them ts undermand very clearly. that hie had n svnmpathies with their cause, and therefuro declined tihe honor which they hal confr:rrel uiptn him. They, then, demounced him witt severity. And his conduet sinice has not conciliated them, for he wields the extensive influence. which he possesses, in itmpoumttg a salutary check upmon their mischievous platis. and unhallowed a-sociations. When the Pro fesor visited Esuope. a year or two sice, the prominent Abolitionists of Eniglnd stood aloof Irot him.or received him cold ly. Mr. Stirge, the Aloulitinitsmt of fatous tnemorv, who crossed " the wide Ailan tic," to present to Presiden Tyler, a me Imorial otn the subjiect of Aitboh1ion, though requested to meet the Professor at the hot-se of a c-ommnon friend in London, re fused to do so. It thus appears, not only that time Abholitionists themselves dso mom re gard tme Proesir. as cotnecmed even in directly with their casuse, but that he I, their opponent. - But - A Paremt" refers to the Moral Science of the Professor, for pronf of his indirect cotnexion witrm it catis of the Atbolitiunists, and I. therefore. n-.w turn to that authority lIut, before I exammime it, I shall take she liberty lot emiibiting the true cause of the Aholitionistis. Anad thi< % Ill appear in the billoning quotootions from tticr published documnsts, soie ol whiich are now before tme.

I maiy maistake the else, word. slavery is wron;, mid he is thus an Anti slavery man, but not an Aboliionist. He reaches his point. not lay hard words and aibusive epithets. but by a course of rea soning on general priuciples, such as are recognised in the Declaration of ladepen dence and the Bible; as for example: "All men are born free and equal." - Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." " Do unto all men a you would they should do unIt you." lIt seems. that our govern rnent recogniz's the same general princi pies in the laws enacted to repressthe Afri can slave trade. These laws consider that trade as piracy, punish those rho engage i it. if taken, as pirates. and liberate the slaves. Whilst in accordance with the priniciples tl' these laws, 'the Professor :hinaks that slavery is opposed to the spirit oif the Bible and the genius of our govern ment ; yet considering our system of ala very as siln aied by the laws, he no where d-nounces the slave holder as a thief. lie does not urge the emancipation of the slave rega dless of consequences. He iscoua tenatices disobedience on the part of the slave, and insists on the high motives,. which the Gospel enforces. to seenre his quiet submission and faithful regards in the ,.ervice of the master. And in spport of tiec view% he wielis his great in8anence agnin the AboliionitA. Atter closing he argument. by which ho endeavoirs to show that the system of sla very is wrong, and should be abandoned, the Professor adds, "But it may be said, immediate abolition would be the greatest possible injury to the slaves themselves. They are riot competent to self govern ment. This is a question of fact, which it is not in the province of moral philoso phy to decide. It very likely may be on. So far as I know, the facts are not su. ciently known to warrant a full opinion on the subject." lie then points out the man ner in which he thinks the preparation for their ul-inate liberation should be made. Bui nuthing of the spirit of the Abolition ist uppenrs in this mode of preparation It consi--ts in a course of moral training, which is - without tumult, without disor der. without revenge, and in the real mo ral iimprovenicot of both parties," as quoted above. -- A Parent" expresses his regret, that Wy sand's Moral Science has been intro duced auto some of the first Schools of this District, because of tbe strong taint of Abo htioni-,m. which he supposes the work contaims.
