Slavery.
' ' Dr. Smith slid he felt some degree of
mortUkathm in entering upon the discussion
of this uueetion. If slavery is wrong, thou,
imukJs of pious persons iu the South who
hold sieves tie shmerf in the sight of God.
If slavery is wrong, tliey know it, and it Is
ntrepology to nay they can'thelp themselves.
^If slavery is wrong, it must either be,wro?g
in the abstract, or there is something wrong
in the practical wo.king of the institution as
established among us.
j .A grad many person*, who justify h! avery,
(IL jidmit it is wrong iu tire olwtract. The pre
valence of this. fatal ndnii*>ion is attributn^

It Uiq use of the northern books in nil oar
*J schools and colleges and to tho concessions
of such toeti na. Clay,'Webster,. Rives nnd
others. If slavery is wrong in the abstract,
it is wrong in tho concrete, for nothing can
be right which proceeds from a wrong principle.
This position the lecture illustrated
fully. It is, therefore, a matter of tho last
irtlportanco that wo should ascertain whether
the great principles upon which slavery
rests is right or wrong.
What then is slavery in the abstract I?
Men frequently denounce the principles of
slavery as wrong, who do not stop to inquire
what that principle is.
The institution of slavery implies the relation
of inaHtcr and.slave. The term master
implies ono who controls imother by his
own will. Tho term slave, ono who is subject
to bo controlled by the will of auother.
The abstract idea of slavery then, is the tuil>J
iugation of a human being to be controlled
9 by the will of anther?nothing more ; 1109
thing less. This -then, is the principle of
slavery. Is it right, or is it wrong!
The principles of liberty is the co-rel&tivo
* of the principle of slavery. It implies the
j right of an individual to control himself.?
| Perfect freedom is the right of an individual
at all times, and in all places, and in all
things, to do as he pleases.
I * These two antagonistic principles enter as
i necessary elements into all forms of human,
government. If the principle of slavery
alone Unadmitted, the Government is a pure
despotism. If the principle of liberty alone
| is admitted, the government degenerates in*to
an anarphy. Bnt in most forms of government,
botB principles are admitted.?
I When the principles of slavery largely preJ
ponderatcs, the government is a monarchy
, and when the right to govern is distributed
II among the heads of families, it assume^
patriarchal form. In a Democratic Republic,
however, the two antagonistic forms of
liberty and slavery are combined in equal
proportions, and produce a well regulated
government. Wo are not disposed as a people,
he said, to admit that the principles of
P t?ra ititrt nnr (jnvnnunnnf Kn?
! such, nevertheless is the fact If an individual
refuses to be subjugated to tho control of
the majority, and assumes to assert his perfect
freedom, he will soon find himself curtaHcd
of the limited freedom secured to him
by the laws, and reduced to the most absolute
and degrading slavery within the walls
of the Penitentiary.
Indeed we can conceive of no government
in which the principle of slavery does not
largely eutcr. The ?nglisli language contains
no term to disignaUn such a government.
(Control and subjection are implied
in the very term government. If every individual
were to ao right by the impulse of
his own will, there would be no need of government,
in die sense in which we understand
It. Hut as long as a man is under the
influence of his corrupt nature, a government
which allows cveiy individual to do as
he pleases, will necessarily degenerate into
an anarchy.
Even in the moral government of Ood,
the principles of slavery enters as a control
thug element, as is demonstrated by the punishments
threatened to the ungodly in the
world to come.
To assert, therefore, that slavery is wrong
in the Abstract, is not only to deny the authority
of all human government, hut to impeach
the justice of the moral government
i- of God, into which the principle of slavery
enters largely as a controlling element
j>r. Smith next exposed the fallacy of the
common expresson: "all men are born free
and equal." Men, he aaid, are not born,
boys are born. They are not born free, but
as children are subjected to the absolute control
of their parents. That they are not
born physically equal, any roan may prove
to his satisfaction by a trial of strength with
his fellows. And that inequality exist*
equally in the moral and intellectual organi
ization of men is demonstrated by daily experience.
Neither are man ^created equal/
Thero wore but two beings created, and one
I of these was made entirely subject to tin
control of the other. Since the fall, he said
playfully, this relation has been entirely ro
versed, and the woman has become the mas
ter and man the dafe.
It is further urged in condemnation o
slavery, that all men have "equal rights.'
What do we mean by "rights!" This, also
ia a term often used, and but little under
stood. By "rights,M he said, he meant thi
privileges and benefits which by the ordei
of Providence, had been conferred on mat
for the promotion of his own happiness.?
This, however, msy be affirmed of toe brut<
as well aa of men. The brute baa the righ
to use the privileges and benefits which havi
been conferred upon it by the order of Pro
videnoe for the promotion of his own happi
nam. But ^sill any man, therefore, affirn
th?t the brute is entitled to political oounlit
with men! It therefore irrefutably follow
that men have uKright to the free nee c
those privileges and benefits only which the.

-L
very "an odious fastitatioa," admit* that
minors are an exception to the dogma" that
all men hare equal rights, and acknowledges
himself unprepared to decide whether semi-'
barbarians do uot fall under the same category.
The lecturer here characterized this
conduct-of Dr. Wayland as unfair, unjust
and unclVrfetain, and found an apology for
liim only in the stupid blindness of bus fanaticism.';'..

Dr. Smith next considered the applicability
to the subject of slaver^* of such texts of
scripture as this 'Thou ehalt lov*? t|(j[ neighbor
as thyself," which he said, found ita
interpretation in this?"Whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you, do ye
even so "to them."
It is argued, he said, that if wejwrould as
laves, desire our masters to give us freedom,
therefore wo ought to givo freedom to our
slaves. Is this, no asked, the true interpre- j
tatiou of this scripture 1
If you were n prisoner on trial for murder,
you would desire a jury to acquit you, therefore
"you must, as juror, turn loose the gilty.
Were you poor, you would desire your rich
neighbor to.devidfe his wealth with you;
therefore you must divide yours with him.
It is thus apparent that this interpretation
would stiiko a fatal Wow at social order.?
The true meauing of this text is, that we
must do unto all men as we would have
? right to expect them to do unto us, uuder
the same circumstances. The slave, is not
capable of using freedom, to the promotion
of lus own happiness and the good of society,
and has no right to demand it, nud we
have a right and are in duty bound to keep
huh in slavery.
He next considered the policy of the Jews
in respect to slavery. lie showed that in
the ton commandments, the constitution of
the Jewish theocracy, God had recognized
the existence of slavery. uThou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's man servant, nor his
j maid servant." And further, that though a
Jctv was allowed to make 'a slave of a Jew,
he was compelled to set liiiu free on the year
of jubilee; yet that in respect "to the heathI
en round about" the Almighty had prescribed
the mode of making them slaves for life
for themselves and their posterity.
Tacit HuuiLiTf.?No humanity is thoroughly
sound which is not thoroughly truthful.
The man who brings misdirected or inflated
does so in a false humility, and will
probably be found to iudemuify himself ou
one side or another. Either lie takes a pride
in his supposed humility; or, escaping in his
1 aelf-condemilfttions from the darker into the
I lighter shades of his life aud nature, lie plays
i at hide-and-seek with his conscience. And
true limnility, being a wise virtue, will deal
more in self-examination and secret contrition
thnn in confession. For confession is
often a mere luxury of the conscience, used
as the epicures of ancient Home would use
as emetic aud a warm bath before they sat
down to a feast. It is often also a very snare
to the maker of it, and a delusion practised
on the party to whom it is made. For, first,
the faults may be such ns words will not
adequately explain; secondly, the plea of
"guilty" shake* judgement in her seat; thirdly,
the indulgence shown to confession might
be better bestowed on the shame which conceals
; fur this tends to correction, whereas
confession will many times stand instead of
penitence to the wrong-doer; and sometimes
even a sorrowful penitence stands in its own
tears.? Taylor'* jYote^/rom%Life.
Kind Words.?They never blister the
tongue or lips. And wo have never heard
of anv mental trouble arinimr fmm tl?i?
! tor. Though they do not coat much?1.
I Hie? help one's own good nature. Soft
word soften our own soul. Angry words
t are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make it
! blaze more fiercely. 2. Kind words make,
other people good natured. Cold words
i freeze people, and hot words scorch them
! and bitter words make them bitter, and
i wrathful words make them wrathful. There
! is such a rush of all other kinds of words in
our days, that it seems desirable to giro kind
words a charge among them. There are
vain words, and idle words, and hasty words,
' and spiteful words, and silly words, and emp,
ty words, and profano words, atid boisterous
j words, and warlike words. Kind words also
produeo their own image on men's souls.
And a beautiful image it is. They smooth
and quiet, and comfort the licarer. They
, shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind
( feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind
words in such abundance as they ought to
! be used.?Pascal.
Tu* Love of Titles.?A story is told of
; an old Dutchman, for many years keeper of

\ i the fare came to be paid, no charged the
; titled men one shilling each. "What is
|' my fare I" said the gentleman who had no
II title, after the rest bad all paid, "Your fare I"
