Von Raumer on the Slarery Question:
We 6ud in the Deuche Schnellpost the
following iniimalion Of the view which has
been taken of the Slavery question in this
country by Baron Won Raumer, whose
work may shortly be expected from The
press:
Frederick Won Raumer, lately in Ber
lin, at The Science -uniou," lectured on
his travels through North America, and
indeed, principally on Slavery in the U
States. He merely enumerated the sew
eraI grounds established by The most emf
neu, anti Abolilionists, for retaining the
present condition Of slaves in the South
ern States, and especially endeavored to
show that the condition Of the slaves. as
existing in North America, in many re-
spec.s was to he preferred to the position
Of our (Prussians) proletarians, or work
men employed in factories, and this loo,
both for the slaves and the moral aud po-
li,ical idea Of The Republic.
The lecturer seemed 10 lie inclined to
approve of these views, although he de-
cidedly admitted the difficulties in remov
ing the present respective condition, in
such a way as mol either to violate an ex
is,ins right Of property, or place the ne
groes in a condition far worse for them.
Al, all events, The lecture from lis spirit,
is to be styled an "ant aboliiionsl one, v
and, therefore, may be supposed to have
met with much opposition from The ladies
present, and such persons generally as DO
not consider any progress impossible al
which the human mind earnestly aims.
