Sta:-In my letter to you of the 23th January-t bich I trust you have-received ere this--uienttoned that I had lost your circular letter soon after it had come to hand. It was, I am glad to say, .ouly mislaid, and has niihin a few days been recovered. A second perusal of it aiduees me to resume my pen. It is, I perceive, addressed amoug others to "such as have rever visited t'e South ern States" of this confederacy, -and pro fesses to enlighte their ignorance of tue actual "conidition of the, poor slave tn their own country." I have not the least doubt that you think yourself the very best informed mail alive on this subject, and that many 'hnk so likewise. Su far as facts go, even after deducting from your list a great deal that is not fact. I will not deny . that probably your collection is the most extensive in existance. But as'to the truth in regard to slavery, there is not an adult in this region but knows more of it than you do: Truth and fact are, you are a % are, by no means syuunimous terms. Ninety.uie facts may constitute a falsehood; the hun dreth. added or alone, gives the truth. With all your know ledge of facts, I un tertake to say that you are entirely and grossly ignorant of the real condition of 'or slaves. Atnd froma all that I can see, you are equally ignorant of the essential principles of human association revealed n history, both sacred and profane, on wv-hich slaverj rests, and which will per. petuate it forever in isome form or other. u However you may declaim against it; f towever powerfully you may array atro riuus incidents; whatever appeals you t nay make to the heated imagiuations and ender sensibilities of mankind, believe n ne, your total'blinduoess to the wh/ole truth, vhich alone constitutes the truth, i.icapa iragaes youu from ever nakiuani oe-a ion on tiensO~erTeUaso1 cA's P I non sense of the w orll. You mdy se lce thousands-you can convince no one. whenever and wherever you or the advo !aes of your cause can arotso the pas- d ions of the weaktitinded and the ignorant, tnd, bringing to bear with them the inter- t sts of the vicious and utiprincipled, over, shelm common- sense and reason-as a God sometimes permits to be done-you nay triumph. Such a triumph we bave witnessed in Great Britain. But I trust P t is far distant here: Nor can it frodiits d tature be extensive or enduring. Other a :lasses of Reformers, animated by the mame spirit as the Abolitionists, attack the a nstitution of marriage, and even the C established relations of Parent and Child. 8 And they collect instances of barbarous 1 uruelty and shocking degradation which rival, if they do not throw into the shade, 1 your slavery statistics. But the rights of marriage and parental authority rest upon truths as obvious as they are unchangea.le _ -conting home to every human being i self-impressed forever on the individual tind, and cannot be shaketn unitil thie. whole man is corrupted, nor subverted until civilized society becomes a putrid mass. Domestic slavery is not so univer sally understood, our can at make such a irect. appeal to individuals or society beyond its pule. here, prejudice and passiOni have room to sport at the erapense of others. They may be excited andm urged to dangerous actioni, remiote fromt the victims they maark out. TVhey taty, as they have done, eff'ect great mischief, but they cannot tbe tmidle to maitain, in the long tun, domintion over reason atnd com mon sense, nor ultimately put dowtn what God has ordained. Innumerable instatnces might hie ghoted where God has givent aand coamutanded amert to asqoumte duminuion over tateir fello, maen. But one . ill suffice. In thme twenty faith chapter of Levitiens you will find Domes tic Slavery-precisely such as is maintain ed iat this day inz usese .'tates-orolained andJ established by God -in Language wkhich 1 defy you to pervert so as to Leave a doubt on any honest mind that this instituitwntwas funed by Him and d ecreed to be perjpetua at. I q .ote the timords : Levitics, 25 cha. 44 v.: --Both thy Boridmten and thy IBondtmaids whi. h they shall have, shall lbe of the Hleatheni [Ai cans] they are routnd about you: of them ye shall buy Bondmten and Bondmaids. 45: Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of thetm shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you which they begat in your land [descendants of Bfricans ?] arid they shall be your possession.'''" -46 : " And ye shall take them as an in heritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession. l uKY SHA LL BE YOUR BIoN DMIEN FoREVEh." What human Legislature could make as decree more full and explicit then this? What court of Law or Chancery could defeat a title to a slave couched in terms so clear and complete as ahpse ? And thtis is the Law of God. wvhom you pretend to worship, while you denonce a..d traduce us for respecting it. It seems scarcely credible, lint the fact is so, that 'you deny tis' Law so platink written, andI in the fauce of it. have ih hardihoodn eare,- that se thn,,gh slavery is not specifically, yet it is virtually forbid den in the scriptures, because alli.the crimes which necessarily arise out of slhvery, and which can.arise froin no other source, are reprobated there 'and threatened with di vine vengeance.".' Such an' unworthy subterfuge is scarcely entitled to con'tader ation. But its gross absurdity may be exposed in few words. I do tiot kiow what crimes you parucularly allude. to as arising from -lavery. But you'wil. per haps admit--not because tuey are dfe nounced lit te dec.logue, whie the Abu htionists respect on so far as they choose, but because it is the immediate interest. of n1tOS1 men to ddmit-that disobedience. to parents, aduliry, and stealing, arc crimes. Yet these crimes "necessarily arise from" the relations ot parent and child, tnarri, age, and the profession of private:proper t . ; at least tihey "can arise from no other sources." Tneu, according to your argu n.ent, ii is "virtually turoidden" to marry, t1- beget children, and to hold private pro p.rly ! Noy it is forbidden to live, since murder can'ooly ie perpeirated on livun.. tubjecls. You add that "in the same nay the gladiatorial shows of old,. and other iarbarous customs, 'were not specifica.iy urbidden in the New l'esaament, and yet :bristianty- was the sole i-tans of their uppression " This is very true. But hese shows and barbar-us customs thus uppressed, wtere not authorized by God. ['hej were not ordained and cortmanded ay God for the benefit of His chosen peo dle and ~:nankind, as the purchase and tolding of IBondtmen and Bondmaids were. lad they been they would never have een "suppressed by Christianity" any pore than slavery can be by your party. tithough Christ cate "not to destroy but ilfil the Law" he nevertheless did'ihr tally abrogate some of the ordinances 'romulgated by Moses, ant all such as I rere at war with his mission of "peace I nd good will on earth." He "sicifdi ally" annuls, for -instance, one '' barber- I us custom" sanctioned by those ordinani es, where he says: " ye have heard that hath been said, an eye for an eye and a otih for a tooth ; but I s.:y unto you .that e resist not evil, but nhosoever shall I Write thee on the right'check turn to him I it oilier, also." Now, in the, time of t Irist it was usual for masters to put their t uves to death ot a feed their fishes. He n as undoubtedly ware of these things, as well as of the ,aw andI Cutmmiandmrent I have quoted. le could only have been restrained frot I enouncing tliem, as he did the "lcx talio is," because he: knew that in- despite of t iese barbarities the institution of' slavery ,as at the bottom a sound and wholesome = s well as lawful one. Certain it is, that iHlis wisdom and purity he did not see roper to interfere with it. In your wis um, however, you make the sacrilegious tietmpt to overthrow it. You quote the denuncintion of Tyre ttd Sidon and say that "the chief reason iven by the Prophet Joel for their de iruction, was, that they were notorious eyond all others for carrying on the lave ''rade." I am afraid you think we ave no Bibles in the slave St-ites, or that. re are unable to read them. I cannot therwise account for your making this eference, unless indeed your own reading s contined to an expurgated edition, .lire Pared for the use ", Aholitioniss, in which verythag relating to slavery that tmtili ates against their view of it is left out. l'hr Prophet Joel denounces the T3 rians mtd .Sidotiants because "The children also i'f Judah and the children of Jerus"-let rve ye.sold unto the Grecians.". And s hat is the divine vengeance lor this ''nt orious slave tradling 1" H-ear it. "Aid I vil sell your suims nodl dauaghtters itto the iand: of the childretn of' J udait, ald they hltl sell theii to the dabteans, to a pieoplle 'ar oil'; .lar the L~ord heath spoekent it." 0lo ~ou call this a condemnation ofi slave r'admng? T.he Prophet mtak--s Godi Hin ielf a participator in the crime, if that he :me. "The Lord aas-spioken it, he says, hat the Ty rmuts and dideojins shall be told into slavery to stranigers. Tlheir real afl'ence, was mt enislaving the .Chosena Peaple; and their sentence was a repei at' the old Commtiand, tininiake slaves of' the " Heathen rond. about." l'hta've dwdeht upon yoiur scriptural ar~tn ittent btecause you pr'of'ess to bielievi' the Bible ;'hecaiuse a large proporti ,n .of' the Aholitionits prof'ess let do the "name, a d toi act undler its sanction ; becauso your Ctr cular is addressed in hart to "prile~sinta Chtrist'lans ;" and because it is f'romn that class tmaitnly thut. you expect to sedue con'.erts by your aiti.chrisrian, I may say, infidel d'oetrines. 1 I would be wholly un.i tec'essary to answer 3ou to any oniewh reads the scriptures ror himself. and con strues them ace'ording trany tither l'orti't Ita than that which the Abolitionists are wickedly etndeavoring to impose'npon the world. '[he scriptural sanction of slavery is in fact so palpable, anid so sarong, that both winags of your parny are begininig to acknowledge it. 'I he tnore sensible and moiderate admit, as the organ of the Free Church of Scotland, the North British Review, has lately' dooe, that they "are precluded by thie statements and conduct qf the Apostles from regarding mneae slave' liolding as esseniaully sinful," 'while the despierate and reckless, who are betnt oin keeping upithe agitation at every hazard, d-eclare, as has been dotie in' the Anti' Slavsry 'Rect-rd, "'If, our itnquiry turns out n faveir oif shiiervIT is THE ifBisE~ THAT igU"T PALL.'

Such things are not against 'the laws and-usages of your country. I.do not knowifully what reasons of State may have influenced him and justified his conduct.

We have often been taunted for our sen sitiveness in regard to the discussion of Slavery. Do Ho! suppose it is because we have any doubts of our rights, or scruples, about asserting them. There was a time when such doubts and scruples were en tertained. Our ancestors opposed the in duction of Slaves into this country. and a feeling averse to it was handed down from titen. The enthttsiaqtic' love of liberty fostered by out Revolution strengthened this feeling. And before the'commence mentol' the Abolition agitation here, it '.as the common sentiment that it was do sirable to get rid of Slavery. Many thought it our duty to do so. 'When that agitation aruse, we weie driven to a close examiaa ilou of the subject in all its bearings, and the result 'ta been an universal conviction that in holding Slaves we violate no law of God,-inflict no injustice on any of"his creatures-while the terrible coasequences ol eiiancipation to' all parties and the world at large, clearly revealed to us, make us shudder at tihebare thought-of it. 'I'te alaivuholders-are'thorefore iidebtsd'tb and unanimous determination in refer euce to this nratter. And could their agi tation cease now, I believe, after all, the good would predonderate over the..vtl of it in this country. On the contrary, how ever, it is urged on with frantic violence, and the Abolitionists, reasoning in the ab stract, as if it ivere a mere noralor meta physical speculation, or a minor question tm politics, profess to be surprised at our exasperation. In their, ignorance and recklessness they seem to be unable to coinprehend our feelings or position..The subversion of our rights, the destructon of our property, the ihsturbance of our peace, and the teace of the world. are matters which do not appear to arrest their con sideration. When Revolutionary France proclaimed 'Hatred to Kings and the un ity to the Republic,' and inscribed on her banners "I"rance risen against Tyrants," she p-rl'essed to be only worshipping -Ab stract !tights.' And if there can be such tligs, pertrhaps, she was. Yet all Europe rose to put her sublime theories down. V'hey declared her an eneny to the coi., mon peace ; that her doctrines alone vio lated the "Law of N--ighborbuod,"attd, as Mr. Burke said, justly untitled them to an ticipate the "dannuti uondum flictum" oh. the civil taw. Dattnop, iarrere and the sest were apparently astonished that utn brage'shull be taken. -The parallel be tween them und ifhe Anohitsonists holds guold in all respects. The rise nnd progresof this F'anaticism is one of' the phienioina id' the. age, in' w'imchi we live .'- I do not intend to repeat what '1 have .already said, or to' trace its caresi moure minntely at present.
