and starts from his dream at visions o

Fastening when nerve and sinew will be

Who are the masters real friends? Those

is most astonishing, is to see the very men,
who have been engaged in an open and
ceaseless onset upon these friends Of God

APOLOGIES FOR SLAVERY.

How often do we hear the remark respect
ing slavery, "it is difficult question:
Though il were ten times more knotty than
the gnarled oak, it must be met. But Ihele
can be no question, respecting the right and
wrong of slavery. All know and acknowl-
edge it to be wrong. "But it is difficult
thing 10 get rid Of the evil" We know 1t
is difficult thing for avarce 10 give up its
unhaIlowed desire Of gain. The words,
"get money at all hazards" have sunk
deep into the heart. And do we suppose
that men will give up their "property, u
though it be human, though it were Angelic
without struggle? This is the only diff
cultV in the case. Men will cling to thei,
money with the grasp of death. Slavery
has made such complete wreck of all tina
is noble in human nature, that the con
science Of The Stakeholder is dumb while
he drives his bargain in dollars and cents
for human flesh and sewers kindred hearts
1t is difficult thing amid the clankiDg o
chains to hear the voice of God, saying
"Let the oppressed go free" 1t is diff
cult question for the master TO solve, wheth
er he will cast aside The iron rod of despot
ism, which he has welded from childhood,
for the sake of happy hearts, and peaceful
life. The planter beholds his farm lying
waste. Thorns and thistles springing ur
in every part Of his domain. He perceives
that compulsory labor, wrung from the poor
by the CORY lash, can not compete with free

The CHRISTIAN REFLECTOR contains ex.
tracts of a letter from a correspondent in
Louisiana, on The sui jec, of slavery. The
writer says, :" am a more thorough aboi-
ZIONIST than ever. 1t is truly astonishing
that protested christians can be engaged in
this abominable system" 1t is
agreed on all hands, think, among slave
holders, that slavery is nearly doomed
They think that the annexation of Texas is
the last hope of slavery in the south for,
say they, if il is not annexed to the Union
slavery will be done away in it before
II months, and then our slave property will
not be worth cent?"
