which, the first question to be asked about every.
thing is, that naked abstract one, whether it is
right or wrong This abstraction he has ever.
like an optical delusion, before his mind. This
mpractcable moral abstraction is stumbling
block to the New Highlander, whenever he goes
out of New-England. He insists on having this
question first answered. And if the answer is,
as he has long since settled it in his mind, that
slavery is wrong then he replies, that it ought
tobc Immediately abandoned. And if any thing
is said about the difficulty danger, or disaster
which would attend such course his reply is,
we must do right, and leave consequences to
God.-Whether honestly, fanatically, or hypo.
critically, he uses this Argument, and relies
upon it.
The Southerner knows not how to appreciate
him, or his argument and is ready to say, "see
how he seeketh quarrel against me-" Nothing
is father from the Northerner's WISH or inten-
ton, than quarrel, He is subject of puritan
morality, which has a work to do every where,
and with every body,-decorum, etiquette, pro-
liability of success, and every thing else. out of
the question. He knows not how to begin to
conveive the idei, thai. his notions of morals are
all Greek to the Southerner, who knows no
morals against which the argument, that mea-
sure will produce more harm than good, or that
it will produce unmitigated evil, is not valid.
Sir deem that enough has been said to show
what proposed namely, that Southern politi-
clans, cannot under existing circumstances, ad
dress Northern audiences, on the subject of sla-
very. Here | might close. But with your
leave, will. with view to further illustration,
look a little closer at the controversy which eX
lists between the North and the South on the
subject of slavery, by viewing it in its relations
to the General, and to the State Governments.

The Cheapest Houses.

Houses made of clay brick. unburnt, have
been tried in Geneva, N. Y. and Chicago, ILL.,,
with perfect success. They cost but half as
much as brick houses, and are warmer, less
damp, and safer from fire. The foundation is
prepared as for brick houses and if the partitions
are to be of clay, there must be solid founda-
ton of stone land the side walls must begin at
least two feet above the ground The inside
plaster is applied upon the brick without lathing,
and must be done quickly, as the wall rapidly
absorbs the moisture and after the whole is
thoroughly dried, the outside is plastered with a
cement which will resist water The bricks are
made of GOOD CLAW. with which a small portion
of sand must be mixed, the quantity of which
will vary with the purity of the CLAY. Straw or
