From the Christian Politician.
OTHER SourH CAROLINA LEGISLATOR.

My DEAR BR1sBANE:-Your paper, the
Christian Politician, reached me, and Ihave
perused it although the very title is sufficient
of itself to deter any Christian from reading
A blasphemous publication uniting
Church and state The Christian Politician!
Well brother Brisbane, | had hoped that
although you, together with many others
(who are called Divines,) sanction union
of black and white in your foolish and UNI
.governabe zeal for abolition, would never
have the temerity or the STAINLESS audacity
10 attempt to unite church and State. The
Christian Politician! Your general abolition
notions, see are derived from the head
quarters of Giddings, Tappan, & CO., and |
had thought that no men of sane mind would
have attempted to scatter such polluting
SANDER not only on the interests and nsti-
tutions of the South, but on the holy religion
of Jesus Chlst Did you think, Sir, when
scattering these missiles amongst the men,
bers of the legislature ofSouth Carolina that
you would work effect? Well, Sir you have
worked effect, and should you pass through
our State, unless incog.. neither your gray
hairs (if you have any nor the sanctity of
your vocation, would protect you from a
decent coat of tar and feathers, tar being
regarded as a matchess sanative" for
diseases of the brain. We have slaves Sir,
yes, niggers, and a majority of them is the
lest rascaIs, and require the est most
cowhide to keep them straight that you can inn
agine. But, however, by keeping one overseer
to conduct the management of the farm and an
other expressly to assist the master in flogglng,
we can jog on right smart. Another glorious
alternative remains to us also after fogging till
they become insensbIe which is to cut short the
clothing and feeding; and if this will not all do
we mount them on the stump and cry them
off to the highest bidder. Now, brother, what
will you dol Will this picture hurt you? Will
you occupy sleepless pillows, or will you come
and take them away, and meliorate their condi-
ton? Did you ever smell niger. If you did
not, few limitations just after undergoing lit
tie castigation of five hundred lashes, I am sure
would much increase your zeal in the cause
What do you, and all the rest of the ***** fools
in the North, expect to gain by your "nigger ex'
citement?' Do you expect we will finally lberate
theml Don't lay that hatterng JUNCTION to your
soul All your puny and silly efforts only strength
en- us in our position, and only renders the con,
dtion of the slave infinitely worse. So soon as
| received your paper my feelings were such that
was deprived of all rest until drew out all my
niggers and gave them the very---l then felt
relief | tell you, Sir, we are sensitive on this
matter; we are sharp folks here in the South; we
know our rights, and knowing them we will main
tain them. And now, Sir, for such cobler,
such would-be editor as you, to attempt to as
sail the institution of the South is too much
The institution of Slavery has been handed down
to us from the North; the Bible, the book you
profess to believe in sanctions it; the Constitu-
ton Of the United States guarantees it; and ***
your old soul, we intend to have it. You pup
Ply, you are not fit to carry quits to bear: you
are fit for nothing, unless it be to place in He'll:
kitchen to break bark over. should have re
turned your paper earlier, but sheer negligence
has prevented. | did think of committing it tC
the flames, or laying it by as waste paper, but the
idea stuck me that you might desire to exercise
your charity by**** Be kind enough to inser
this in your next paper, and send me copy
