| Thing, like the animals. But this de-
fence is manifestly quite baseIess. The
same faculties of mind have appeared in
the negro, as in the white, so far as the
condition Of the negro nations and negro
classes has afforded opportunities for their
Development The negroes do not APP
pear to be duller, ruder or coarser, in
mind or habits, than many savage white
nations; or than nations, now highly cul-
tivated, were, in their early condition.
The negro has a mora nature, and is
therefore included in the consequences
which follow from the Principle, that all
men have a common nature. The negro
has the same affections and springs Of ac
tlon as we ourselves. He loves his wife,
his children, his home, and any security
and stability which is granted him. He
can buy and sell, promise and PERFORM
He has, as much as any race Of men, NOR
al sentiments. He can admire and love
what is good he can condemn and hate
what is bad. He has the Sentiment of
Rights and Wro1gs also. Though the
Law allows him no Rights, he can feel
bitterly the monstrous Wrong olthe Law.
His Reason is the Universal Reason OF
men. He understands the general and
abstract Forms in which Language pre-
sents the objects and rules. with which
Reason deals. He recognizes, as we do,
d Supreme Rule of Human action and
Human being for, like US, he can di>
rect his thoughts and acts to what is abso-
lutely right. In short, there is no phrase
which can be used, describing the moral
and rational nature of man, which may
not be used Of the negro, os of the white.
The assertion that there is, between the
white and the black race, any difference
on which one can found Right to make
slaves Of the other, is utter y false.
Again, in States where negro Slaves
are numerous, TO leach them to write or
read is forbidden by Law, under the se>
verest penalties. Such Laws suppose the
capacity ofnegroes for intellectual culture:
and are an implicit confession that it is
necessary TO degrade their minds, in order
70 keep their bodies in slavery. When
such practices and such Laws prevail, TO
defend negro slavery by asserting the in>
feriority of the negro race, can hardly be
free from the guilt of wiIful blindness of
persisted in, in order to up
hold conscious wrong.
The moraist. then, must pronounce
slavery to be utterly inconsistent with HUI
mainly; and with Principles, which. de-
rived from the universal nature of man,
may be deemed fundamental Principles
81 Justice. Slavery is utterly abhorrcnt
10 the essence Of Morality, and cannot be
looked upon as atolerabIe condition Of
Society, nor acquiesced in as what may
be. Wherever Slavery exis's,
its Abolition must be one of the great OBJ
jects ofevery good man.

Discoveries IN PoMPEI,-- A letter
from Naples of the OH uIt., and published
in Paris paper, states that few days be-
fore the date. the Scientific Congress, now
assembled at Naples, led by their Presi-
dent, NJ. St. Angelor, repaired TO Pompeii,
where, in the presence of the society, in
vestigations We're Instituted under the d.
reclion of NJ. Carlo Bonucci, Chief Con-
seryator ofthe Antiquities of the Kingdom.
The operations were crowned with sue
cess. In street in the vicinity OF the
Augustan temple they discovered Two
shops, fitted with different kitchen utensils
made of iron and bronze, which were in
all probability exposed there for SALE
Opposite these shops they discovered
magazine, containing blocks Of native and
African marble, and five statutes of white
marble of different sizes, including that Of
fawn, and another representing the
skeleton of woman enveloped in flowing
drapery. In this last statute the learned
psychologists present recognized the Cod
dess of Envy. At one OF the extremities
of the Street of Fortune they cleared their
way 10 house which contained on the
ground floor large saloon, filled with
various articles of office furniture, in Que
of which were found some silver coins Of
the reigns of Vespasan and Golba, and
several marble weights. All the heights
surrounding Pompeii and several Of the
streets and squares THAT city were crow
ded with people, so that it seemed for a
moment as If the ancient Roman city had
recovered its inhabitants, It's life, and its
activity.

the progress of the negro lace in Hayt,

walls, there is nothing like reading an en-
Ierlaining newspaper. 1t relieves his
home of its duliness or sameness, which in
nine cases out of ten, is what drives him
to the ale house, to his own ruin and his
family's. 1t transports him into gayer
and llvelier, and more diversified and in
teresting scene; and while he enjoys him

present moment fully as much as if he
was ever so drunk and the great advan>
tage of finding himself The mex, day with
his money in his pocket, or at least, laid
out in real necessaries and comforts for
himself and his family, without a head
ache. Nay, it accompanies him in his
next days work, and if the paper he has

idlest and Iightest, gives him something to
think of besides the mechanical drudgery
