Whatever objections our fellow citizens Of the
south may have to the circulation hcre Of pubiica
tons which profess 10 describe the miseres Of Sa
Tery and to advocate its abolition unbearabe
evil we have assuredly none whatever TO call at
isDtion to those Southern treatises which under
take to teach the true Philosophy Of Slavery,
and TO defend its continuance as positive good.
Welike to see the question argued on its merits
snd consider the public very much indebted to tho
candid Dr. Estes for his eDdeavors 10 inform the
free North whft the advantages OF Slavery are. IL
moral and religious point Of view, as also Of the
benefits which Shareholders md Slaves, the Free
States and those that are not so free, derive from
the peculiar institution Mr.. Calhoun assures The
public that A mysterious Proridence has brought
two races Of men together into this Country from diff
isreut parts Of the earth the European TO be the
Master and the African to be the Slave - and Dr.
Estes frankly admits that q" If Slavery cannot be

We shall have much pleasure in reviewing the
question Of Slavery, the principle that if it can
Be shown 10 be unreasonable to keep in perpetual
bondage our fellow creatures the sooner the prac-
tee is abandoned the better but as 10 the asser-
ton that " 10 one can have any interest in sus-
tanning error" we think there have been some
who had such an interest and knew it, from the
days Of Demetrius the Ephesian syersmith, down
10 the times Of the Duke of Richmond and the Corn
Laws, and Of Negro Slavery, and its supporters,
uessrs Polk Calhoun, Cass, McDuiie and Estes.
The settlers who are emigrsting from Europe
INTO North America, this year, will probably num-
Der over 900 900 men. women and children

new Territories in a condition TO ask an immediate
admission into the Union, as non Savehoding
States Very few of these Europeans will settle
in the South The existence of Slavery there
presents an nsuperable obstacle to the migra-
tion of free white men ard women from the North.
Our free ahcrers wl not, ought not to, toll Tor a

are their services desired by the aristOcratic, in

1t is fortunate, under existing circumstances,
that the South has found champion TO assert her
sIGHIs. rs she understands them, through the
Press; q gentleman who was born and reared
among slaves on a Southern plantation who bears
high character, and has been aided in his defence
ofSayery by the Chancellor Of the State OF Missis
lsippi Gov. Hammond Of South Carolina and other
influential Southern citizens. His work has been
highly extolled by the pro Slavery Press IN South
Caroline Alabama Georgia, and other cottong grow
inc States and we ready to admit that II is one
of the most candid plain spoken, and moderate
publications which it has been our fortune 10 meet
with on the Slavery side of the question.
DR. Estes tells us the, he CO. has been cheered
and assisted in his labors by several distinguished
scientific and literary gentlemen who kindly &C D.
descended TO furnish facts hints and suggestions
Harsh epithets have been avoided, and
the decision of the subject has been placed upon
the grounds of REASON alone. He was born
and reared among negroes, on plantation and has
been with them all his lie His soquaint
ance among Shareholders is extensive with many
of them it is intimate.
Thus we have the gauntlet thrown down mol
by the author alone but acting in connection viii

4 N. Calhoun indirectly represents tho F Father of
acountry as its enemy. Washington abhored
Sa'ery-Calhoun seeks popularity by making it
sshope Of the Republic. In his letter to Ambas-
nios Pakenham, 18th April 1874 he declares,
TIA, what is called Slavery, is, in reality apoliti-
al institution essential to the peace, safety and
Prosperity Of those States in whiohit exists
