a woman into an adulturessi
A man may commit adultery and have ample
light pertaining TO it, he may not only fully
understand its outrageous wickedness, but he
may abhor it most heartily, yet he may under
peculiar circumstances commit the act, and
not thereby be implicated in the sim"
1t may be said that the passages we have
quoted, by being detached from their original
connection, misrepresent the views Of the au-
thor. We suppose the Professor did not de-
sign 10 make so unfortunate an application
unfortunate for himself-as may legitimately
be made; but after stating his proposition,
after declaring his doctrine, he may be assur-
ed that his application of it will not always
accompany the presentation of the principle.
We freely admit that in the connection in
which we found them, they would not appear
so odious TO a casual observer as in the posi-
ton we have placed them but they were
none the less Objectionable, none the less dam
gerous because their deformity was partially
concealed, because-to use an illustration of
the author-the arsenic was involved in a
glass of lemonade.
The remaining heads in his character Of
anti slavery comeoutism may be briefly sum-
med up as follows:
9th. That the slave claimants are not the
real shareholders, but that these are TO be
found at the North.
9Th. That the church and clergy are a bro
therhood of thieves.
9TH. That abolitionists should hold no con-
%nection with pro-slavery churches.
We would not have our readers suppose
that we have given the language of his de-
scription, or even the substance of all he saws.
We but give The leading thought of each Of
his seven heads, all of which, as we have
stated them are correct in description except
The first, but in his delineation there is SO
much poetry, so much amplifying, SO
much illustration and embellishments, so
many flights of fancy, so many touches of
rhetoric, that We must beg to be excusedfrom
acknowledging the portrait a just one. Had
we space, and did we deem it worth our
while, we would point out the many misre-
presentations with which it abounds,
The most of the authors strength is exuen.
ded In combating the 4th and 9TH poiEts, for
the destruction of these is necessary TO the
accomplishment of the end he has in view:
and the 7th depends greatly on the 18th, for if
slavery is the sum of all villanies, is anti.cbris.
tan In Its character, and every Shareholder
is guilty of slavery, we see not how the con-
clusion is to be avoided that christian aboli-
tlonlsts are bound 10 refuse church fellowship
to Shareholders and pro-slavery churches.-
But more upon this point at another time.
CHLEY's SPEEcH.-Lest it should be saL ii
by some of our readers, or by some who =.
not our readers, that we have misrepresented
the views of this Senator in regard to the
Mexican war by quoting his reported speech
from the National Intelligencer rather than
from the National Era-which latter manor
by tine way, we had not received when we
wrote the article concerning him-we this
week give 1t entire as corrected by himself.
Were 1t not that we desired to have the CO.
lionel speak in his own language we should
not occupy our columns with it, for we do
not think the inculcation of such sentiments
as it contains, will purify the morals of the
people, nor quicken their perceptions of JUS
lice.
