that the burden Of the Southern song is that A
merican products are dearer than European And
does he not know that they cannot be cheapened
without cheapening labor :? All this must be plain
to him, and he must see that it is a war upon his
dearest interests. All | ask of him is not to be
deluded by humbugs; not to suffer himself to be
enslaved by soft words and empty professions; not
to let the controversy about banks, and corpora
tons, and sub-treasuries, withdraw his attention
for one moment from the coming crisis-lrom his
own precious interests-on which hang the prog
ress oflberty-the improvement of the social con-
diton and above all, his own comfort and happl-
ness. If the shareholders have projected the de-
struction of his business, if they deem this sacr-
fee necessary to their own higher aggrandise-
ment, then let it not be accomplished by the hand
of the free laborer would have him take a firm
stand here, and insist to the last come what may,
for just pocy-for in that and that alone lies
his safety.
In speaking thus freely and earnestly upon this
subject, let me not be misunderstood All would
demand is policy that should be just toaoards the
arhole country; and then all will be prospered.
While Ispeak in plain terms of the South, am
as little disposed as any one in the country, to vio-
late any constitutional obligation, or to do the
planter any injustice. He has been, and is sell
fish. In my judgment he unnecessarily makes
war upon our most precious interests, and if he
will thrust this matter of slavery upon us he must
not complain if we lay it bare. would invite my
countrymen to pause and consider whether they
will aid him in this unhallowed work. All
would require is that he should observe just limits,
and not claim for himself the whole benefits of the
Constitution.
We have all these matters TO contend WITH the
frauds of the Custom House, the Compromise Act,
and the planters Venality, ambition and selfish
ness, are arrayed in solid columns against US, but
if the working men are true to themselves, they
have nothing to fear, for they can purge the Gus
tom House of corruption, rebuke ambition, and
curb down the selfish.
There is much good feeling and just sentiment
in the South; and the number is not small who
are anxious for the harmony and prosperity of
the whole Union; but the ultras, the fanatics on
slavery, at the head of whom is Mr.. Calhoun con-
rive constantly TO excite alarms and apprehensons
in regard to this property, which keep the public
mind agiated, and thus all efforts of moderate and
fair men are frustrated. But if Mr. Calhoun will
agitate this topic if he will force it upon u.s. then
must we deal with him according to his folly. We
must convince him that he is mad, and rushing
upon his own ruin. We must prove to him that
no democrat cngs to the skirts Of him who main
tains the absurdity that dauery is favorable to pub
Tic Hderty-or that slave labor is to be cherished
so as to force the free into condition worse than
servitude. Y ours, Y

The fall of the Slave.

ALvAN STEWARDS speeches before the General
Assembly are, we regret to see, but briefly and
Imperlecty reported in the Observer and the E.
vangest, the organs of he Presbyterian Church
in New York. His opening remarks ON the sub.
ject of slavery and in reply to the views express
ed by DR.. Cox, that the present was not suitable
time to enter upon the exciting topic produced,
during their delivery, powerful impression
The concluding sentences will never be forgotten
by any who heard them. ooh sir % said he,
"what fall has the slave acknowledgement
by far than that of our first parents! They fell
from state of purity to one of woe and sin, but
they were still clothed with dominion, and the
sceptre of power over the animal creation still re-
NAMED in their hands. But the slave, from the
estate and lglory of one created in the image of
God, and little lower than the angels has fallen
down through the infinite space of Gods moral
creation, so low, that when he awakes to a con-
seriousness of his condition, he hears the neighing
of the horse one hand and the lowing of tho
OK on the other-he man has become beast !"
Many stern eye has moistened, and the mus
cles of many rigid face quivered with emotion,
at this striking and graphic picture of the slaves
degradation.-Pa. Freeman.

'One at a time, if you please, gentlemen! one
at q time -,

The Post has come in with the Wing, to run
down the Gazette, on the Demetrius cry of its
slavery discussions. Their conjoint condemna-
tons bring to my mind an incident of actual &C.
currence, but few years by-gone, which we shall
narrate, without opportunity to use copy of any
kind.
Mr.. Tappan, our newly elected Senator in
Congress-, then somewhat descending into the
vale of years. was trying cause in court, where
in Junior member of the bar was his antagonist.
Mr.. Tappan opened the cause; his adversary fol-
lowed, but instead of arguing to the case, he en-
ployed himself in angry invectves against Mr..
Tappan, the counsel of the other side. In man
ner and matter he was vrulent, furious, bolster
GUS Mr.. Tappan looked little surprised, but
preserved admirably his gravity. In the midst OF
one of the young counsellor's most furious bursts
of oratory up jumped a small cur and raised a
bark at the counsel table. Fee! faw fun as
it were, says the counsellor Yah yah yah
waved his hand with an impressive gravity "One
at time, if you please, gentlemen! One at a
time ~ The effect was electric! the roar of
laughter tremendous!
Well, could not help recollectng this Incl
dent, upon finding both the Post and Wing ar
rayed to run down the Gazette, upon negro-ology.
They must allow me to bug off" one at a time,
if you please gentemen!" A word to the Post.
Why, this identical objection that the Post now
takes stand upon, was mooted in Cincinnati,
some three years ago. Since that the newspaper
discussion of slavery has gone ahead, and with ii
southern associates has gone ahead. There is
the Charleston Rail Road what better proof
could we have, that southern statesmen don't
think of Cincinnati newspapers or Cincinnati no.
tons, when planning commercial associations with
US? They 90 for channels of trade, and don't
care straw for fair neurology discussion. In
this Charleston Rail Road, our friend of the Post
is leading patron. have never seen a single
objection against him. that his home was Cincn-
matt, where the Cincinnati press was so impuden
as to discuss the relative bearings of slavery! Nay,
more, have never seen word of objection, in
print, that he came from city improbable of alb
olitionism
Then there is the Lexington and Georgetown
Turnpike! In the very midst Of the Gazete's
recent anti-slavery discussions, here comes our
Kentucky friends, and on our own threshold, urge
us to unite ourselves with them by the construc-
ton of the road Do not these movements show
that up to this day our southern neighbors have
never thought of cutting our city, because its bu-
siness men, mercantile and political, supported the
Cincinnati Gazette, which Cincinnati Gazette, or
at least its editor entertained and expressed opin-
ions on slavery, which the South deemed errone-
Gus? The experience of our concern is, that the
slavery and we endeavor to give that character to
all our fluctuations. 1t is the hot Demetrius men
of our own State, that principally salute us with

We cannot help repeating cur urgent represent
ations of the importance of having this book pla
ced in every neie hborhood, and road by every in
huential individual in the free States, without de-
lay. The Morning STAR dover, N. H. says of
the work:
at shows the atrocious character of Amer
lean slavery by presenting the testimony of
thousand witnesses many of whom are or have
been Shareholders or overseers Of plantations,
and were eye witnesses Of the awful instances of
cruelty and scenes of wo and wretchedness which
they describe Among the witnesses we notice
the names of several of our first statesmen, en-
ipent ministers of the gospel, &c, &c. We thot
we knew something of the horrid character of
slavery belorerbut upon looking over the pages of
this book, we find that we had no adequate idea
of the number and enormiy of the crueIies which
are constantly being perpetrated under this system
of all denominations.
We have read of the crultics of the aborioines
of our own country, and the most savage and bar
barous nations of our globe, but never have we
met with any thing in all their merciless acts
which would compare with the enormities cons
mtted in our country by people protesting to be
civilized and some of them, followers of the holy
Saviour No wonder that Mr. jefferson exclaim-
ed, tremble for my country, when | remember
that God is Just We believe that nothing can be
done which would do more to promote the cause
of universal liberty, at the same expense, than 10

american slavery as it u.s.

The Executive Committee, anxious to bring
the important disclosures of MIR. Yields book as
speedily as possible within the reach of the pro-
fessional and most influential members of the
community, have recently adopted the following
order:
AT meeting of the Executive Committee of the
American Anti-Savery Society, June 90, 1899
"Resolved, That if any State or County auxil-
larry will undertake to furnish copies gratuitously
of American Slavery as it isl to every minister
of the gospel, or every physician, or every1awyer,
or every magistrate, within their bounds they
shall be entitled to purchase copies Of the work
for that purpose, at coSt-and that this be announ-
ced in the Emancipator."
The Massachusetts Abolition Society" have
resolved to undertake one of these classes, for the
whole State. We hope the old society will take
another class, and that then each County Society
will assume the supply of third set. In this
way, we should soon have the 'hinges of society"
pretty well oiled with the pure fluid F.; and with
what may be purchased by individuals, and cir
cuated in Anti-Slavery Libraries, we should ex-
poet the public mind in the Bay Stare to become
fully imbued with knowledge of American
slavery as it is" Lose no time, brethren of Mas.
sachusetts.
Will not Vermont, and Connecticut, and even
New York ego and do likewise % Remember
that if we are too long in applying this powerful
catholicon, slavery will rally and by some new de-
vice, counteract its beneficial influence Epan-
