endless fallscies. A great variety Of con-
ditions, relations, and tenures, indispensa-
bic TO the social state. are COMPOUNDED
with slavery; add thus slaveholding is
deemed quite harmless, If not yirtuous.--
We will specify some Of the things
which are often confounded with slavery.
4. PFiratiOH Of the righfs Of suffrage.
Then minors are slaves.
2. Insligibility to Office. Then females
are slaves. .#e..l aaE..-.

Island are slaves, and all in the District
Of Columbia. "''asas S'&..

Then the free colored people of Ohio are
slaves, so are dishelieyers in n future ret

oil in France and Germany are slaves.

be added all other disabilities, merely PO-
HtieaI.l ... ..
. Crpelty and oppression. Wives are
often cruelty utaied; hired domestics
are often oppressed; but these forms Of
oppression arc not slavery.
8. Apprenticeship. The rights and
duties Of master and apprentice are cor
relative and reciprocal. The claim OF
each upon the other results from the obi
cation Of each to the other. Apprentice
ship y based on the principle OF equiva-
lcni for value received. The rights Of
The apprentice are secured, and his inter-
psis are promoted equally with those Of the
Inastef. Indeed, while the law Of ap-
premiership Is just to the master. it is be-
.nevolsHt TO the apprentice. Its main de-
sign is rather to benefit the apprentice
than the master Ii promotes the interests
Of the former, while il guards from injury
those Of the latter in doing it. 1t secures
3 10 the master mere legal compensation,
while il secures to the apprentice both a
legal compensation, aud a virtual gratnity
10 addition, the apprentice being of the
two decidedly the greatest gamer. The
law not only recognizes the right of the
apprentice to areward for his labor, but
appoints the wages, and eaforces the pay.
nnent. The masters claim covers only
the Services of the apprentice. The ap-
preniice's claim covers equally the SER
vices Of the MASTER The master cannot
hold the apprentice as property, nor the
apprentice the master; bat each holds
property in the services Of the other, and
