be treated as soeU as those who fought i
against it. We have toiled to cultivate it, s

In community where all the labor is
done b. one class, there must of course be
another class, who live in incidence: and
we all know how much people that have
nothing to do are tempted by what the
world calls pleasure; the result is, that
slaveholding states and colonies are pro-
verbal for dissipation. Hence, too, the
contempt for industry, which prevails in
such state Of society. Where none
work bu! slaves, usefulness becomes deg
radiation. The wife of respectable me-
chanic, who accompanied her husband
from Massachusetts to the South, gave
great offence to her new ueighbors by per-
forming her usual household avocations
they begged her to desist from it, (of1er-
ing the services Of their own blacks,) be-
cause the sight of white person engaged
in any labor was extremely injurious to
the slaves; they deemed it very important
that the negroes should be taught, both by
precept and example, that they alone were
made to work Mrs ChiHs Appeal.
1t is supposed that not less than $4,000
visitors from the slavehoding states visit
the north every year. Let them come in
= contact with people zealousl y and under
t standlngly oppos: d to slavery let them
: hear the united voice of the whole commu-
nifty, proclaiming to them the guilt and
: danger of oppression, and many Of them
i wickednesS, and persuade others to do
# likewise.
