In one thing the South has exeelled--in train
ing statesmen. The primary. and the ultimate
effects Of slavery upon this fact are 80 well iet
sorth in late sermon by DIR. Bushnell, Of Hart
fOrd, Connecticut, that | will read passage
fromit;
"And here, since this institution Of slavery,

chtrscierislics Slavery, IL Is not TO be denied,
Is an essentially bsrbaTous institution. IL gives

northern people were generally delving an la
bOr for many generations. TO create acondition
Of comfort, slavery set the masters at once on
footing Of ease, gave them leisure for elegant
intercourse, for unprOfossi0nal studies, and sea-
soned their character thus with that kind Of
cultivation which distinguishes men Of society.
A class Of statesmen we're thus raised up, who
were prepared TO figure as leaders in scenes OF
public life, where so much depends on manners
and social address. But now the scale is chang
ing. Free labor Is rising, at length, into state
Of wealth and comfort, TO take the lead Of
American society. Meanwhile the foster sons
Of alavery-the high families, the statesmen
gradually rsceding in character, as they must
under this vicious institution, arc reeeding also
in power and influence, and have been ever
since the Revolution. Slavery is a condition
against nature; the curse Of nature, therefore,
Is on il, and il bows TO It's doom By Q law As ir-
resistible gravity. II produces condition
OF ease which Is not the reward Of labor, and
state Of degradation which is not the curse Of
ldleness. Therefore, the ease IL enjoys cannot
but end in a curse, and the degradation IL suf-
fsfs cannot rise into blessing. Ii n0arishes
lmPerious and violent passions II makes the
masters solitary sheiks on their estates, forbid
dug thus the possibility Of public schools, and
preventing also that condensed form Of society

Piseed, the dinner-table only remains, and on
this hangs, in great part, the keeping Of the
social state. But however highly we may esti-

Character IL Is neither a school nor gospel.
Aha when Il comes Of self-indulgence, or only
seeks relief for the tedium Of an idle life,

virtue: The accomplishments IL yields are Of
mock quality, rather than Of a real, having
soout the same relation 90 q Substantial and
