American Slavery.

Domestic slavery, that plague-spot on the
American character, has just been crowned
with the keystone Of its ~iniquity. The A.
merican government. not satisfied with per-
hitting its citizens to make merchandise Of
their tellow-men. not deferred from the mi
guilty by the sneers of civilized man in every
country of the world-the American Govern
ment, lowering its position in the scale Of ma
tons, and degrading itself in the eyes of the
world. has become the auciiOneer Of lis own
subjects. women! Yes, two women, mother
and dauuhter-lhe one sixty, and the other
twenty-have been publicly offered Tor sale
in the streets of Washington, 10 satisfy the
demands Of a department of the public ser
vice! Iniquiiy, like every thing else has Il
boundary beyond which it cannot go uncheck-
ed; and surely that point is now reached. a
nation so depraved must lose the position to
which its natural importance would other
wise entitle it; and a Government so moral
" degraded is incapable of soothing the
worlds universal torrent of eXecration. The
President whom Moore described was, 1t

The weary Statesman for repose hath fled
From halls of council to his negro's shed.
Where, blest, he woos some black Aspasla's

And dreams Of freedom in his slaves en-
Brace
We are, however, sorry indeed to believe
that the groundwork of this subject is an I'M
questionable fact. Slavery forms the pivot
on which turns every calumny and every false,
hood uttered against the noble principles OF
Republicanism. Every one who believes ii
the holiness of monarchy, and sneers at TIT
depravity of a republic, finds a reason for thu
faith that is in him in the fact that while Eng
land is free from the curse, America is tn
very hot-bed Of Slavery. And the conclusion
is plassible enough for those who do not pen
citrate beneath the surface Of things. We
however, are not the less believers in the jus
tice of Republican Government because a re

We wish the Missionary Society which is

condemns from the Shasters. The slavery
which the missionary society covers, 'as a

The Petitions presented by Mr.. Lewis in
the Senate asking for a repeal Of the Black
Laws, and dissolution of the Union gave
rise to a somewhat excited discussion. Mr..
Backus of Cuyahoga county in discussing
the disunion Petition said
''The time might come when asking for a
dissolution of the Union might be a laudable
object. The union was made different by
the accession of Florida and after by the
annexation Of Texas, which last was done by
the President who now announced that Cal
ifornia aud New Mexico are wanted. TO
grant the prayer Of the Petitions, said Mr..
Il. might be treason to the Government as it
now exists, but not treason against the con-
s"titution as originally formed"
The petition was received by Il vote Of 10
to II.
The House, we are informed, passed reso-
lutions condemning slavery and opposing the
annexation of more territory 10 the | nited
States. \ copy of the resolutions has not
