Beauties Of the Slave System of the
United States

Mr. EDITOR-Ihe present age is fruitful at one
and the same time, with enterprises which are cacu-
lated to advance human improvement and happiness;
and on the other hand, to propagate misrue and en-
nance the deleerous principles of oppression and cru
city, Among the latter class, that which has proved
the most successful in point of the numbers of its ad-
vocaes, and the numerous subjects upon which its dire
FIJI vengeance has been wreaked may be reckoned
American Slavery. 1t has emphatically distinguished
itself by the most frightu form and features which
ever characterized the yrrancal despotsm the
bases conspiracy. 1t pursues its victim with unre
lenng fury, and its vndctve spirit renqushes
the object of its search until it is compelled to aban-
don it or encounter mpoSsibittieS. 1t has devoted
every inch of our territory to be overrun by a set
Of uncontrolled marauders and niqutous kdnappers.
1t has taken in its own hands the rule of the nation,
which it governs as with rod of iron; converts TO
its intriguing purposes the pecuniary means of
the country 1t has done injustice to numbers of our
citizens by imprisoning them without cause and pun
ishing them without provOcation And adding to
these deeds of vlainy the unconstitutional acts which
have disgraced our administration and spread vice and
irreligion through the land it Las at LENGTH filled up
the measure of its iniquites, and crowned the summit
of its crimes by pungng the nation in the greatest
calamity which could possibly befall it. and shed the
blood of its inhabitants upon the field of battle Could
the art of the painter enable him to exhibit in its true
light the deformtes of this system, and TO present to
our eye the suffering and misery it has accustomed
the "woes and the wrongs unredressed" which have
been committed on the innocent victims of its cruelty
the heart would melt at the spectacle burst forth in
Involuntary expressions of the most unmtgated hatred
Yet many men can hear the recital of the story of its
bruttlty with the coolest Indifference and listen to
the call of Liberty for aid with the most in mitabe non
chalancc. The me however, is not far distant, when
bound shall be set to the nefarious and unjust de-
signs of the onslaver of men. And whenever thai
time does come, trust that country will call down
upon the heads of the authors of these caamities such
punishment as they deserve. S.
