| Zckel B;giow's Mode Of abol;sh;ng Slavery.
--"But now to the MOTTO nj first start
ed with, for this is the nub OF this letter.
AS in this country there might be more
danger in preventing free discussion on
all matters, than in letting all have their
say in most matters-the only course lett
in this niger question, is To see that one
set Of folks don't use another sci Of folks
property in carrying out their plans of
philanthropy" as they call It. The
meaning Of this word philanthropy" ac-
cordiu 10 the dictionary, is, "to love men,"
Now if any man loves a niger more
than his master does, he should love his
master Just as m uch, else there aint jot
of philanthropy in, it. Now according 10
the laws of the land, niger is as much
the property Of his master as my shirt is
mine ; If any man wants my shirt, and l
chuse to sell il to him, it's a Bargain
but if he aint ready to pay me a fair price
for it, then say be aint no right to dis
cuss the matter, particularly ifthe nature
of this discussion is to deprive me Of my
shirt, without compensating at all.
Now, then, if the Abolition folks want
to free niger, they must be ready to
pay for him, and somethin like this plan
might work well. Let the Southern States
FIX a fair price for a niger, and form a
committee TO take charge Of the matter,
and when the abolition man is so brain
full Of philanthropy that he cant find enuf
at home for it let him send the amount Of
the fixed price Of nIgger to this commit
tee south, and simply say-"Gentlcmen,
inclose'd is s.; please send me a
nigger." :,
Now this would be what would call
true philanthropy and If the Abolition
folks at home and abroad would Just try
it spell, they would find at least the true
difference between right up and down
justice, and their kind Of philanthropy,
which is very apt to overlook it,.

The FARMER. 1t does ones heart
good to see merry round-faced farmer.
So independent, and yet so free from van

trious-so patient and perseyering In his
calling, and yet so kind, social and oblig-
ing. There are thousand noble traits
about him, which light up his character.
He is generally hospitable-eat and drink
with him, and he wont set mark on you,
and sweat it out Of you with double COM
pound interest, as some have known
IwiIl-you are welcome. He will do you
kindness, without expecting a return by
