Southern Slavery.
The following conclusive argument iu the behalf
of Southern Shivery, we cxtrnct from tlio
rect speech of Senator Hammond. In some
form or other, Slavery as h<? clearly shows,
must ever continue to exist. The Governments
of the world may attempt to abolish it,
hut can only effect a change of nauie. The
thing itself in a neoesaary result of liumuti bocifcty
; ie inextinguishable mid cternul :
But, sir, the greatest strength of the South
arises from tire, frarmonv of her political and
social institutions. This harmony givos her a
frame of society the best in the world, and an
MXteut of political freedom, combined with entire
security, such as no other people ever enJoyed
upon the face of the earth. Society precedes
government, creates it, and ought to control
it; but as far as we can look back., in his
toric time, wo find the case different, for government
its no sooner created than .it ' Becopiea
too strong- for Bpoiciyfjbnd shapes tftid mould*;"
AB wdta|4jft?lS?ii. in Int? ? centuries the
' V " pt"ogreMg?j^vili/.:ilioii mid of intelligence ha*
. Tiinggjiffo divergence so great as to produce
wan nnd revolutions ; audit is nothing
but the want of harmony between govV>
. ernments and societies which occasions all the
unenMiiefH and trouble ami'terror that we see
abroad. It win this that brought on Ameri
can Revolution. We threw off a Government
jiot adapted to our noeial system, nnd nmde
one for ourselves. The question is. how far 1
have wo succeeded ? The South, 60 far as that
is cencerncd, is satisfied, contcnt, happy, luir- ,
ntonious and prosperous.
In all social systems there must be n class to
do the mean dutivs, to perform the drudgery of
life. That is, a class requiring but a low order
of intellect nnd l-ut little skill. Its requisites
are vigor, docility, fidelity, Such a class you !
t must have or you would not have that other
class which leads progress, refinement and civ* i .
ilization. It constitutes the very mud Kills of !
SOCtCtV and of nolitii'ii! TOi-ornnii-nl nnH vnn I
might us well attempt to build a house in the
air, on to build cither the one or the oilier, cxccpt'on
the mud-sills. Fortunately for the
bouth, ahe found a race adapted to that purpose
to her hand. A race inferior to herself,
out eminently qualified in temper, in vigor, in
docility, in capacity to stand the climate, to
answer all her purposes. Wc use them for the
purpose, ntid call them slaves. We are old ,
fashioned at the South yet ; it is a word discarded
now by ears polite ; but 1 will not characterize
that class at the North with that
term; but you huve it; it is there ; it is everywhere
; it is eternal.
The Senator from New York said yesterday |
tbat the whole \vniId had abolished slavery.
Ay, the name, but not the thing ; and all ti.e .
powers of the earth cannot abolish it. God on
ly con do it whin he repeals the Cat. "the poor I
ve always have with von for the man who j
lives by daily labor, and scarcely lives at that, j
and who lias to put out his labor in the mar- j
ket and take tho best he ta 1 get fjr it; in slmrt j
your whole class of mau'jal laborers and opcr- j
alive*, as 3'?u cail llicm, nrc slaves. The dif
forenee between us in, that our slaves ar?s hired
for life nr.d well compensated ; t' e e ? no starvation.
no begging, no want of employment j
among our people, and not too much employment
cither. Yours are hired by the day, not I
cared for, and scantily compensated, which
mHy be proved in tho most deplorable manner, (
at any hour, in any street in an}- of your large j
towns. Why, sir, you meet more beggars in I
<Mie day', in ?ny single street of the. ciiy of N.
Y?, than you would meet iu a lifetime iu the j
whole South. Our slaves are black, of another j 1
inferior race. The sfnlus in which we have j
placed tlicniis an elevation ; they ure elevated
from the condition in which God first created
them, by being made our fluves. None of that
race on the whole face of the globe can be compared
with tho slaves of the South, and they
know it. They nre happy, content, unaspiring
and utterly incapable, from intellectual degradation,
ever to give us any trouble by their aspirations.
v~..~ . c -
* ciuhciic mini-, ui your own race;
you art) brothers of ono blood. Tlicv arc your
equals in natural endowment of intellect, and
they feel galled by their degradation. Our
elaves do not vote. We give them no political
powers. Yours do vote, and being the
- < majority they are the depositaries of ail your
political power. If they know the tremendous
secret, that the ballot-box is stronger than an
arm}* with bayonets, and could combine, where
would you be? Your society would be rccon- |
atrueted, your government reconstructed, your j
property divided, not as they have mistakenly i
attempted to initiate such proceedings by meet- I
ings iu the porks, with arms in their hands,
but by the quiet process of the ballot box. You
4 * have been making war upon us to our very
heart-6tones. How would you liko for us to
send lecturers or agitators North, to teach
these people this, to aid and assist in combining,
and lend to them ?

Mr. Bryan's Address.
We arc indebted to a friend for a copy of the
Address delivered before the Literary Societies
of the Citadel Academy, by George S. Bryan,
L?q., on the Character and Genius of the Poet.
Mr. Bryan is well known as the author of the
Majority Ileport upon the Slave Trade, which
was presented at the recent session of our Legislature,
aud which has given rise to a pretty
general discussion of the question. In the
nresent nrodm!iimi fnwt 1>.?= - '

of his theme, nnd writes with the enthusiasm
' which none but poets feel." The Address is
characterized throughout by genius and sensibility.
Literary Notices.

Party," taken in connection with the treni.il
wcntlier of the putt few da^'R, romjnds us of
green llelds and purling brooks.
Blackuwod for February is worthy of "Old
M.-iga" in its palmiest days. Bulwer continues i
liia fine novel of "What will lie do with it," with
its excellent delineations of cliuracter, ngreeahlo
narrative, and philosophic disquisitions.
''Persons that I have never met," mnj' serve as a
counterpart to D'Israeli's chapter of "Events
tbnt have never happened," and notes in a
style of quiet humor the deficiencies of modern
society. "The letter of John Company to John
Bull," discusses in a seriocomic View, tho various
pha?ea of the East India question. The
other articles are ecjuallv eood.

approval. We can Jo very'well without a Town

Crawford's Statue of Washington.
"We extract from a late editorial of the Mercury
, the following tribute to the genius of
Crawford, the great artist, whoso equestrian
Statue of Washington, has recently been inaugurated
with imposing ceremonies, at Richmond.
In Junius, in boldnesa of conception, I
and originality ofdcnign, the writer regards him '
na Htiperior to Powera. IIU ori?miitnr?
a great loss to American art :
This monument, by the way, inaugurates a
new movement in the United States in behalf j
of Historical Art. It is in our hii/nh!e opinion
one of the noblest specimens of original art
which our country has overproduced. Tlie tiesisn
is at. once simple, unique and noble. Nothing
can he more admirable than the statulTsof i
Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, the patriot-orator
and the philosnphic Htatcsman. !
They are graud efforts of statuary. The crown- I
ing work, that of the equestrian Washington, !
we have not vet had the felicity.^to bcc : but
we are told that it. is the chcf d'ccunrc of the
group, as it should be, and if it onl}' maintains
for the artist the same degree of success which
ho has attained in the two statues already designated,*
his triumph must be complete. The
monument is that of Crawford, as well as Virginia
and Washiugton. We had the pleasure,
many years iijo, of knowing Crawford, just at
the period when the public were beginning to
f-.-.-v ...* i;?uv mucins. >r e regard.him n$
decidedly the greatest aitist-in sculpture that
our country ha* produced. The lienors have,
in great degree, been borne off by Powers'; and
Greenough had made u success, which unhappily,
he was not allowed to confirm, liis death
and that ofCrawford, both prematurely, leave?

Tlio Slavery Agitation.
The Washington correspondent of the Journal
of"Commerce thus calmly presents to the
consideration of Northern agitators the true
issues which are involved in the slavery discussion,
ha indicate"! hy the recent f-pceches of
Senators Hammond and Seward:
The Speech of Mr. Hammond, of S. O.. in the
Senate, upon the Ivan.'.is h'.il, niav well 1"? commended
to the attention of the people of the
North. Taking thisspeeeh. together with thut,
f Mr. Seward, to which a portion of it is in reply,
it will aliow them to what we are drifting
under the lead of the anti-slavery party. The
two sections are already placed in ant agon ism,
in consequence of the tierce combat with slavery
agitation ha? provoked. It is but a short
step from the present slate of tilings to that
separate organization which Mr. Hammond ve?t.,i?ii...i

by Mi". S?*ward for the subjection of the
blaveholdiug States to his proposed exclusive
Northern dominion.
Mr. Hammond i=pok? with the utmost calmness
mi the pubjeet, and his views commanded
attention and respect:
Mr. Seward'* plan of conducting the federal
government is to overwhelm the South in both
branches of Congress by numbers; to consolidate
a Northern party on the anti slavery
tension ground?to Xurtheniize the Supreme
Court, and establish a Northern policy, which,
according Mr. Hammond's view, would em
brace high protective- tariffs, an internal improvement
t-ystom, tish bounties, a concentration
of the financial power of the country in
tlie North, through a great national bank, and
finally, the abohtioii^of slavery in the States.

Cure the Liver.
There is an article selling throughout tl*a
country that has attained the widest celebrity
ever known us a remedy for Liver Complaint*.
We have reference to Dr. Sanford'a Invigorator
or Liver Remedy, that has performed cure* almost
too great to believe, were it not for tW
undoubted evidence that accompany the testimonial'.
It is, in truth, the greatest remedy
known for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general
debility that ?o often baffles the skill of oirr
most eminent physicians.
Dr. SanforJ has been for a long time one of
the eminent physicians o( Now York, and it is
said, most of his cases were treated with tbe
Invigorator with such invariable success that
he has been induced to offer it as a family toedj
