We are happy 10 find, BY the following article
in "The Constitution that we have duly appreci-
ated the liberal and enlightened spirit Of the ac-
complshed traveller, who visited Richmond, du-
ring the last year. Baron Won Raumer Of Der.
lin, is one Of the abest and most celebrated Pro-
iessors in Europe, not only as a historian, bu!
as general politician. He had visited the Uni
ted States 10 Judge for himsefoi our political and
social insitu,ions-and he had not brought with
him. as most of the English travellers do, a car
ping contracted and illberal spirit. He saw eve
rything as it really was-aEd not through the
medium of prejudice. He examined orr people
and their institutions for himsel!-viewed with
aslonishment the gigantic strides Of new and
free people, in the accomplishment of the boldcst
enterprises-and allowed something for the pecu-
liaries of our position in some things, which
were calculated 10 offend his hahitual proceed
ings. He came to the South; he visited Virginia,
South Carolina, &c.-and the following shows
the liberal disposition with which he appreciated
their peculiar institutions. We confess we have
never met with stranger whose simplicity and
learning and strong common sense made deeper
impression upon us-nor one, whose good opinion
for our country we were more anxious 10 obtain:
"VoN RAuMER on TIE SLAVERY QUESTION
We find in the Deuiche Schnellposl the following
inlimation of the view which has been taken OF
the Slavery question OF this country by Baron
Won Raumer whose work may shortly be ex-
peclcd from The press:
"FIederick Won Raumer, lately in Berlin, at
the Science lectured on his travels through
North America, and indeed, principally on Slave
IS in The United States. He merely enumerated
the several grounds established by the most emf
nent anita boliionsls, for retaining The present
condition OF slaves in the Southern States, and
especially, endeavored TO show that the condi
lion of The slaves, az existing in North America,
in many respects, was 10 be preferred 10 the posi-
lion flour (Prussians) proletarians, or workmen
employed in factories, and This, TOO, both for the
slaves and The moral and political idea of the Re-
public.
"The lecturer seemed 10 be inclined to approve
OF these views, although he decidedly admitted the
difficulties in removing the present respective
condition, in s,Icha wayas not either 10 violate an
existing right Of property or place The negroes in
a condition far worse for them.
At all events, the lecture, from lis spirit, is 10
be styled an 'anli-Aboliionst one, and therefore,
may be supposed 10 have met with much oppcsi-
ton on The pant Of The ladies present, and such
persons generally, as DO moi consider any progress
