YES ; by all means let us study the leseon of the
" large and influential" meeting held in New York
on the 19th of December, under the banner of
" Justice to the South." Let us see what passages
were moat cheered in the speakers' orations, and
then ask what the slavery of the South is doing for
the reason, morality, and religion of the Northern
States of the Unieo. Mr. Baooas, the Int speaker,
defended the existence of involuntary servitude by
its practice in the Boman Empire at the Christian
era, " uncondemned by the Founder of Christianity
"or tits apostles," and by the fact that ABRAHAM,
ISAAC, and JACOB are all represented to have been
owners of slave property. "The Bible nowhere con-
" deans Slavery ; the Bible, then, is not in conflict
" with the Constitution." Mr. O'Coxsoa, who fol-
lowed, raid :
As • whits nation we ramie our Constitution, sad we mete
our Myra, resting political rights in that race, the while
American people. Tim Negro we left, au Leg as Hie our
nubby in which be head should be pleated to order, Is the

that condition the Negro is 'envied by nature. (" Bravo!"

nor to work. (Applause.) Both were denied him—lmesh
wen denied him. And that nature which dagriesd his

that will, and to make Situ • useful errand

about slavery being an evil ; . . . we are to look at It by

velanie, and which nowhere condemns the bondage of Mess
orbs are naturally dt fur boodoio.
Such were the antic:petite and doctrines which we
an told by an English journalist Ina, be taken ea a
fair sample of prevailing thought in the Free States
of the Union. If the truth were so, it would be the
moat conclusive evidence of the power of a national
sin persisted in to ruin the heart and mind of •
nation.

In his newest poem Mr. TRINTSON describe* one,

Who, cover naming God, ese•pt for pis,
So never took that awful name la vain ;
With ell his wissaisnes and one eye askew,
8o false, be partly to, k himself for tins.
No greater calamity could befall the Anglo-Baum sass
than that its religion should be poisoned at its very
fountain—the Bible. Yet, here in the weed espial
of that race, men are found who bays imnsumeled
themselves that it is no sin—not contrary to the
Bible—for cue Christian to hold another in band-
age. We are not going to plead for troths to which
the consciontness of all Christendom bears witness.
The language of lihisikS and O'Cossos is that of
men who are jastly given over to believe a lie. They
have, we mutt bupp..4., convinced themselves that
if they ware black nien it would be quits right, sad
is the eye of their Maker doing to others as
they would men should do to them, if some whits
persons taking advantage of the weakness of
barbarism, were to deprive them of liberty and
work them at Weasure, against their own will. We
see now what kind of revenge slavery takes on thus
communities which, instead of employing ths gifts
with which they have been entrusted for this geed sf

their less favoured fellow-men,
iatslket to oppress them as
bondage. Is the South, alai

by social corruption ; in the 1,
with all deoeivableness of unrighteousneas to pervert
the very words of eternal life.
The pia who talk thus may for a moment believe
UM the sera has been lett by his Creator without
intellect and will, although a misgiving is suggested
by the frantic repetition,' both were denied him,
" both were denied him !" Bat in the South they
do not make these stupid assertions. They know
there that the negro, denied every social right and
lobbed even of himself, has divine affinities and
capacities. Know it! to be sure they do, for they
have found the money value of the fact. It is not

uncommon ate slave auction to recommend a negro
to buyers as " a capital local preacher, with an ex.
" cellent gift in prayer." The Baglishroossess in
America, in her little volume, " The Aspects of
" Religion in the United States," relates that on a
Torrent occasion, when a slave was put up, his
obvious industrial qualities commanded bidding*
from 1,000 to 1,200 dollars. The auctioneer
then proceeded to stimulate competition by
setting forth his spiritual condition. "He was con-
" verted four years ago ; he's as good as a preacher
" among your cattle." The price advanced to 1,250,
1,300, 1,400 dollars. " He's got the Holy Spirit;
" he can pray, and sing, and preach; he keeps all
" the commandments; he can preach like the bishop
" himself." By there representations his value was
enhanoed to 1,860 dollars, or 3851.-2601. for the
negro and 1351. for Christian character and motives.

The Times tells as that " there can be no doubt
" these s., the views of BRooxe and O'CONNOR)
" are the prevailing views even in the Free States of
" Americo." Then let the Timer explain what it is
that has produced this great crisis, what makes Mr.
EVERITT proclaim his apprehensions for the
future of the Union; what has brought Ame-
rican affairs to a dead-lock? If, as the Tinter
says, the remarks of Mr. O'CoNsoß are but a fair
sample of what Americans think and say, and that
slavery has been adopted as a creed by the mass of
the Anierioans, why is the South in permanent fear
for its peculiar institutions, and why does the ques-
tion of slavery so evenly divide even the Congress?
A plain answer to these inquiries would be the most
extraordinary thing the Timm has printed for many
a day. Every letter from New York which our con-
temporary publishes bears witness against the state-

men ts now made In its editori►l columns. The
truth is, that, as Mr. Coss; of Alabama, said, in
Conroe., " the real cense of the agitation is that it
" is held in the North' that property in man U a crime.'"

" Thus oonscienee doth Make cowards of us aIL"
There is no prevalent delusion in truth on the
'abject of slavery, bat a factitious party necessity
drives a few men to fanatical defences of the institu-
tion. The meeting at New York as much shows
that the citizens of that State approve of slavery as a
recent meeting at the London Tavern proves that ths
City of London is in favour of protection to native
shipping. Ex-Presidents FlLLuoar and Pierce,
whose muse are quoted as approving of what
we. said, were not there, and have at no time
idestified themselves with the hideous doctrines of
Bonen and O'Costson. The adhesions they for-
warded were to the document expressing attach-
meet to the Union, and condemnation of aboli-
tionist excesses. Bat if Presidents are ap-
pealed to, which of them has better claims
to be heard than the illustrious Jarressos ?
Let hits then speak: " When arguing for ourselves
" we lay it down as fundamental, that laws to be
" just must give a reciprocation of right; that with-
" out these they are mere arbitrary rule', founded in
" force, not in conscience ; and it is a problem which
" I give the muter to solve, whether the religions
" precepts against the violation of property were
" not framed for him as well as his slave P and
" whether the slave may not as justifiably tales a
" little from one who has taken all from him as he
"may slay one who would slay him ?" That
there should be any Englishmen ready to send from
this country encouragements to the man,stealer to
harden himself in hie crimes!
