tho fo1lo,,ing remarks concerning Slavery In this

minded by the horrors Of Slavery to the d1ncuise'

-. Shortly after landing, Mr.. Dickens was bitten

.gainst slavery, he is the mos, rabid. God knows
we nre no advocates for slavery as thing We

he appened 10 receive the services OF slaves we
have no, such a vas, share of sympathy as TO be
able to throw it away abroad when there are SO
many calls fox it at home. 1t requires very little
irauiry to satisfy ones self that thousands of our
fe!low-sreatures in England who are not called
slaves are worse off than slaves abroad, even 10
| A merica There are men, women and children OF
our own blood and race here in much more dire
and body-runing and soul-crusbing state than any

dom in the eyes Of God and man. They may be
set free bv legislation: the state would not be
ruined bv it, Owners Of factories and coal mises,
and sa!t mines, and other theatres of human cr1me

bad in America, as every thing that is bad there
assumes its worst type. The circumstances IN
vhich the slave-owners are placed necessarily
uake the system bad. 1t is question OF who IS

WRITING ON NEwsPAPERs.-ln reply to let
ter from the Postmaster in Troy the Postmaster
General has written letter of some length ex-
planning the law with reference to writing upon
newspapers sent by neil. The following are the
only essential passages:
The law levels its prohibition and sanction
aguinst two classes of cases.
lst If any person shall enclose conceal a
letter, or other thing, or any memorandum in wri-
ing, in newspaper, &c, or any package of news
papers, &c.
3D. Or make eny acritsng or memorandum on
sch newspaper, which he shall deliver into the
Post Office, in order that The same may he carried
hy post, free Of letter postage, he shall forfeit
AID pay the sum of five dollars for every such Of
fence.
Upon looking at the mischief which the law in
tended to remedy in all its various forms, was
compelled 10 adopt this general rule Whenever
lhe writing, whatever it was either much or little,
conveyed an idea to the person TO whom the paper
sent, or informed him of any distinct fact, IT
". - writing or memorandum within the provi-
sions of the law Of 1925.
IF write his name on the margin OF paper,
and send that to friend by mail, he conveys 10
him several distinct ideas and facts: lst that heis
sill alive; Cd, that he well enough 10 write;
3 that he remembers him, though distant; 9TH,
tlat he has sent him by mail the very newspaper
u,on which he has written his name, Or caused 1t
To be done and 5th, he ,els his friend where
lic Is.
No other rale or principle can be adopted where
v to test the question of the violation OF the law
oi' 1925. The fact of its violation cannot be made
TO depend upon the length of the sentence or num-
her of words or names written
