different ratios; slavery for instance more
largely in a monarchy than in a democratic
{jdrornmetik
The laws making the white master do not
give absolute power. Slavery in a democra
cy does not entirely exclude liberty. 1X>
mentie slavery is a form of government in
which the master has control over the slave,
to. a certain limit, defined by the laws, bek
rood which both arc equal. It is an i?in
imperii?s government within
a government. j
If* then inquired in to the legitimacy of
the institution. Is it the proper form of government
for the African 1 This wan to bo
settled by the same principles and facts as
are required to determine tho legitimacy of
auy other form of government?as, for in-,
stance, whether a despotism is n suitable
form of government for the Russians ! The
principle of slavery and liberty being fbrced
to enter into every known form of government
in different ratios; he proceeded to an
illustration by briefly sketchiug the elements
constituting different established form*
throughout the world. lie then proceeded
to the inquiry, what form of c'riil government
Is moat, impropriate for the African!?
??- - I - - - - - *
ue couiu 1101 stop 10 inquire now tUe Africans
came into this country. Tbcpr are here
and ennnot be removed by n miracle, and
" being here they must be under some form of
government. Northren fanatics contend
that they should be embraced in the llepublican
form?the South contend that the op?
posite must bo the ease, ami that with us
I hey cauuot be thus classed. To prove this
latter position^ he inainlMiiied tliat, first, \vc
are prcswbptively right. Secondly, right
per *. In the presumptive argument the i
North waives the fact that domestic slaven-1
exists?this being so they must assume that |
we are d'rong. thus necessitated, they relieve
us of the ona# proltandi, that we are right.
Presumptively, then they fail to prove their
position, ami the presumption is in our favor.
These who oppose the south have
never accorded to the African republican
freedom. Presumptively they have failed
to prove that they can exist in a republican
form of government.
The ground upon which they rest their
claim is futile, via: that the property acquired
iu slaves was through wrong and injustice.
and therefore the wrong should not
be ooutinucd, but that the South should give
freedom to their slaves. He deniod first,
tlio doctrine. .He denied also tlie doctrine
that jxxwssioii founded, even in robber}' can
never l?e right. Suppose these doctrines,
(for the sake of tho argument,) to be aduiit?ed.
What right have we to the lands we
now hold, and which were wrested from the
Indians} Does it then follow liecaus* the
first owners acquired possession through
wrong and injustice, that, therefore, we have
no claims to the lands I By similar illustrative
facts the lecturer proved conclusively .
? ..that such doctrines arc untrue?then apply*
'ring his reasonings to the question of domestic
slavery tracing it from its origin in this
country?showing what participation the
North had ill its introduction and by what
mean* and for what purpose?he justified
its establishment, but condemned most unqualifiedly
the movement which actuated
the traffic, which was for mere gain. He
then took up the political history of old England
and the European States, to prove by
what title each and all of them came into
possession of the lands, now holdcn. Admitting
as all must, that the grossest wrong and
injustice may have been used, still the political
principle must be maintained, that by
..whatever wrong these possessions have been
acquired, they can never be remedied without
inflicting grievous injury upon society.
The institution of domestic slavery as it
exists in this country is au original case, to
be determined by its own metits. He denied
that the institution, as it exists in the
Houth, was founded in wrong and injustice.
It is true, that many New Engianderx decoyednegroes
from Africa, and brought them
here. Who are answerable for this! They.

ning with the sixteenth and extending down
to the present century?proving that history
doee not sustain the hypothesis of Northem
abolitionit*. He her? showed Uie hypocrisy
of the New England? , who, when
the African first reached our shores, thanked
Hod for the delivery of the poor heathen,
who would have remained dead to all civilizing
and christainizing influences in their own
'sad The lecturer then sketched the condition
of Africa at that time?the government
of the tribe*?their mode of warfare?
the disposition made of tho prisoners of war
-?provsng from facts and history that the
African was subject to the most abject slavery
under brutal cbiefe, and the victims of a
savage warfare. He then referred to the disooveiy
of the Sandwich Islands?the ezist?M?
of cannibalism among the people.?
Tlteae, he said, were mad a the subjects of
christian infiecneo through the means of
missionary enterprises, and answered the in*wogatori*uwhy
we did not* attompt the
same with the Africans. At that day misskmsiy
enterprises were untaftrd of, which
began, but the Latter part of the eighteenth
ccutnry. He urged that it is now problo"
.inatical whether a pagan race can be civilized
without first subjecting them to labor?
; in illustration of whiah he educed many facts.
Let us, said he, begin from the time of Luthe,
and^snurmnrato the nomber of pag^n^
of twHjfiioM of i^S^psnSS, end Z
wholt number wit! not- makeas many 1
church members as bdoogijlo the colored <
of domestic slavery is thebest missionary <
enteiprisc ever sat onfuot?African aleveey <
had its origin in christian reform. 1
. lie next argued domestic slavery to be <
disappropriate form of government for the
AfhttofeUst, because tliey are a distinct
race, so that thoy cannot amaigamate
spontaWMisly with the whites. They
mnstexfc H*" . government separate in |
kind from that wbidi .sutlrol the whites.
Even if constitutions should not determine
tliis, social laws would enset H. *fO prove
this lie-cited the condition of the African in
the hue States in which theoretically they
are supposed to be equ*l~but where in fact
they are a more proscribed race than the
lave in the South. Such being the case
they must umler a government inferior to
that of the whites?this must be eo, for two >
independent governments cannot exist together?the
inferior must be subordinate to the
superior.
The lecturer here sketched the condition
Iff the negro in the Norttiren States. They
mrc said to be free, yet ir.termanjage is forbidden
them, by the social law, at and rate
?offices of honor are closed against them, i
Is this freedom 1 he asked. It is the liberty
to be crushed?the liberty to perish is accorded
theiu?the Itoasted philanthropy of
the Northern fanatic. If then by all these
laws the.African is to be inferior, is it not
better they should enjoy that system of government
under which they exist in the Southern
States}
He then showed the relation existing between
the master and his slave. Being divided
into small communities, and brought
into frequent contact with the writes, under
whose care and protection he constantly
find himself, a strong attachment springs up
between them. This sympathy is so strong
and the reliance felt by the leave upon those
with whom he has been connected, that, as
a universal rule, the slaves refuse to be hired
to a Northern family who may settle in a
slave community.
The African being then a separate race
must be uuder a separate government, and
subordinate to the whites everywhere they
are brought together. The propriety of this
form of government is proved in the fact that
they nre not intellectual and morally devel
oped to the extent fitting *1?em for self-gov-1
eminent. To accord them self government, '
would bo to destroy them. lie contended
that the African was inferior in the original
ton nut ion of their minds?but not originally
different in mental structure?but difference
in the development owing to the barbarous
subjection of their forefathers. If this barbarous
and savage people were fitted for selfKvernment,
why did not the Puritans cou
it on them ? because their good sense
showed them how futile it would be, and
suggested to them the domestic system. He
admitted that the race had improved in this
country, which improvement indicated the
wisdom of Providence in introducing them
and through this the final redemption of the
continent of Africa.
Whether the negro has so for advanced
as to be fitted for republican e<pial it, whether
he has reached such a point in intellectual
and moral progress as to be capable of poli- .
tical freedom, can not bo settled, but by |
A| O *1 . I
mo oouiucrn community. jliio concurrent I
testimony of tho Southern people is the opin-1
ion that they are fit foT political freedom.?"j
But even if they were fitted, they cannot'
amalgamate with the whites from physical
causes, therefore they would have to be'romoved
to another land, if even capable of
self-government.
The reason, ho said, why abolitionism
was so rampant at the North was in a great
measure the ignorance on this point Many
at the North Know this, but political agitation
and aspirations prevent its proper influence.
(The lecturer liere indulged in cutting
satire upon our Congress men for keeping
open a subject and stirring up tho bad blood
in the hind for political purposes.) lie illustrated
by instances the consequence of domestic
colonisation. He said thnt in Virginia,
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and all the
border States, whole families had been mnnumited?but
such curses were they to the
communities in which ther settled that the
whites could not tolerate them, and if allowed
to remain thus, would relapse into their
original barbarism. He admitted that now
and then a negro was found fitted for freedom,
but the masses were not. In this connection
he referred to the colonization scheme, and
by a brief historical sketch of Liberia, he
showe?l that it was settled by free colored
people from this country. They were free
and went of their own accord. The lecturer
here portrayed most eloquently the charac4am

pursued in tho future populating it?but a
spirit of emancipation began in '28, and until
'82 large numbers of slaves were sentover,
out, were wholly unfit *cr the form of government
under which they found themselves.
The governor of Liberia protes'H against the
sending of such emigrants as in,, -ions and
destructive to the prosperity of the colony,
and, said the lecttger, if abolitiouism had
not begun, the tendency of which is to cheek
emancipation, the colony would have been
crushed. If then the eleve is not nrror freedom
hi Liberia he is not in the Southern
State*.
A barbarous race is not fit for a government
equal to the civilized. God authorized
the Jews to make slaves of the barbarians,
because so far gone in idolatry.

Saviour on the subiect of lavery, and read

when H was consigned to the grave. Seventy-seven
yean afterwards, as we learn from

it Was sought to remove the remains of
Wooeter, the ?*xact spot of his interment
was uncertain. Digging near the place
where a few aged person* supposed the
grave to have been* soou the skull and larger
bones of a man were found. Then two
bunches of matted wire were thrown out |
they were the epanletts pf the dead. Next
was found a portion of a plume, and finally
a lump of day was tossed up, which on being
broken by the laborer, was discovered to
contain the leaden bullet. This was couclu

The bullet wan known to be of English manufacture
from its extraordinary size?being

SiKorLEfttTiE* or the English Laxoi'aok.?'Your
language,' said a learned
foreign philologist, in sneaking of English,
4 is the most unphiiosphical and yet the most
practical in the world.' We become familiar
with contradictory modes of expression,
and do not notice them as do children and
foreigners. When we sand the floor wc cast
sand upon it; but when we dust the furniture,
wo remove dust from it. When wc
paint the house, we lay something on, but
when we skiu the ox, wc take something ofl'.
We dress a child by overlaying it, and scale
a sliad by removing that by which it is overlaid.
If it be proper to rhv Skin the ox,'
why is it not proper to speak of wooling the
sheep, instead of shearing it 1 What should
we think of a fanner who should talk of
corning or grassing Ins friends or appling
his orchard; or of liis wife who should
speak of feathering her geese, or blacking
her knives, or dirting the clothes ? lint we
do that which is equally ridiculous when we
speak of dusting the furniture, skinning the
ox and scaling the iish, although custom has
sanctioned those modes of expression, and
Noali Webster has recorded them in his
dictionary.
Dktroit Lamks.?Our friends abroad
may perhaps lie surprised to learn that a
large number of our ladies make their own
boots. When visiting a lady of the ton, it
is a very common thing to find her busy with
last, awl, waxed ends, pincers, and all the
etcetra that compose the kit oif the boot maker.
80 skillfully do the delicate hands execute
their work, that it rivals in elegance
and neatness the shoes which are purchased
at the stores. Two or three pair of boots
can be made in a day, and though about
two dollars are husbanded on each pair, the
avocation is resorted to by many of the affluent
merely from a sense of duty which
they owe to their sovereign, Fashion. The
result of this useful employment is that the
fair sex of Detroit will be proverbial for
ivcaring lue musi eirgani uooia, Ana naving
the prettiest feet in the Union. The ladies
of New York and Boston, and other eastern
cities, must look to their laurels.

Beauty ok Republican Institutions.?
Wo find An incident in the Buffalo Commercial
which speak* volumes, And eloquent
ones to, in favor of Republican laws. The
Commercial says:
MThc proceedings in Justice Merrill's
Court were pleasantly diversified this morning
by the entrance in the office of ex-1 'resident
Fillmore, in obedience to a summons
as a juryman, with which he had been served
by Constable Emerick."
The individuid who so lately filled the
highest seat in the world, and whose tour
through the country was one public ovation,
comes into a justice's court like the moat
humble, in obedience to its process, and presents
his excuse why he cannot serve on the
t'ury. And mark the excuse! Not that
laving been President of the United States
and therefore above such business, but like
any private citizen similarly situated, begs
that his pressing engagements may be bis

a contemptible fear of being seed to carry a
bundle, however small, having the abeurd
idea that there is a social degradation in the
act. The most trifling as well as weighty
packages must be sent to them, no matter
how much to the inconvenienoe of others.
This arises from a low kind of pride. There
imm pride that k higher; that, prises from a
consciousness of there being something in
the individual not to be effected by such accidents?worth
and weight of character.
This latter pride was exhibited by the American
son of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte.
While he was in College at Cambridge, he
was just purchased, when he met a mend,
who, noticing the broom, with surprise exclaimed,
M Why did you not have it sent home P
" I am not ashamed to carry anything
which belongs to me," was the very sensible
reply of young Bonaparte.
Very different pride was this form that of
a young lady whom we know, who always
gave her mother all tho bundles to carry
when they went out together, because she
thought it vulgar to been with one herself.
