point is entitled to some weight, and you
NAV ask all the Blacks in the Union to
choose between Slavery and Freedom ana
not find hundred to choose the former. In
the next place, we cite the fact that slaves
are necessarily exposed without projection
to all manner of insult and abuse from the
family, which they are not permitted to re-
rel or resent. No slave can be witness
in court against the white man whom he
has seen assault bis aged father or abuse his
wife or daughter and the persons of slaves
male or female, are subject to the absolute
controlof their masters. Such is successfully
the law of Slavery; individuals are some
times better, sometimes worse than the law
above them, but Slavery is what the law
makes it, and we are considering that
Progress, Improvement, the hope of bet
tering their condition and the hope Of saving
something to smoothe the pathway of their
Children such are tho sweeteners Of human
existence in this rugged world. To the
Slave, all these are denied. If allowed to
earn fer himself out of his masters time,
his earnings are still legally his masters
property, and may be wrested from BIN at
any time. If his master of to-day is kind,
he may be succeeded tomorrow BY harsh
and rapacious heir. Abused as the Free
Blacks are among US, the property they
have acquired, the persons of their wives
and children, are still under the protection
of the law, and their condition is infinitely
preferable to that Of slaves.
8. As to Education, two-thirds of the
Free Blacks Of the North have share oft,
while the Slaves are not permitted to have
any. To teach Blacks is here esteemed
laudable, while to teach Slaves is, in most
Southern States, punishable as felony. We
have known Christian Shareholders at the
South distressed by their conflicting obGga-
tons to teach their Slaves to read the Bible
and the Laws denunciation Of severe penal
ties against any one who should teach read
ing to Slaves, even though their own. The
Education of the Blacks Of the North is
rapidly increasing; that ofthe Slaves of the
South is stationary, ifnot retrograding.
4. We think the Southern Slaves have to
provide not only for themselves but for their
masters also. But that is delicate sub
ect, and we pass rapidly over it.
S. For the credit of the Church, we trust
it does enroll as members more Of the VIC
tins than of the champions of Slavery
But we do not consider the condition either
of slave or STAKEHOLDER favorable to the tull
development of Christian character.
6. This is a hard question to answer.
Many Abolitionists seem to US narrow, in
discreet, and violent, but they see at least
eoual faults in our course. We think it
hattor IN be inaios%eotly noalouo for the
R PGtsht titan ever so adroitly devoted to the
Wrong. We think Abolitionists are less
obnoxious now than they were fifteen years
ago, when it was the fashion to mob their
meetings, burn their halls and destroy their
printing-presses. But if anybody expects
to var against any formidable abuse or in
Justice 1cith0ut becoming obnoxious to So
cioty," he is embarking in business without
counting the cost. Ed. TrS6.

a Uutechlsm on Slavery and Free Labor.

NE"-tOkk, sept 10, 1851.
HORACE GREELEY, Esq Str;-Willyou do me
the favor OF answering the following questions in
your paper entitled N. Y. Tribune?
l. Does a STAKEHOLDER require any more work
from slave than farmer does from hin own son 7
2. Are not the slaves better off now than they
would be if they were Free
B. Have not the slaves Of the South far better
education than the free negroes of the North
1. Do they have to provide for Themselves like
the free negroes of the North
5. Are there not more negroes in the Southern
States that belong to the Church than there are
Whitea!
g. Are not Abolitonists daily rendering them.
selves obnoxious TO society
?. s. AnAwer this in to.morow's paper.
A}S,ger.
We know no reason why our unknown
correspondent should require as to answer
the above questions, but he is quite vel
come to all the light we can shed on the
subject. His tone leads us to infer that he
is oneof those who insist that Slavery ought
not to be discussed at the North, and yet
are perpetually stirring up its discussion.
But here is whatwe have to say in response
to his questions, viz;
l. Some Shareholders work their slaves
very hard, but we think the majority do not
The hardship in their case is two-fold--
first, they have no legal or other efficient
protection against requirement Of Excess
siye labor; and secondly, they know that
their earnings will not accrue to themselves
or their children. Now some farmers sons
may be worked too hard, but they know
that the proceeds Of such toll will generally
come to them-at their fathers death if not
sooner; and they have security against
excessive exertion in the natural affection
Of parent. In general, we believe fathers
are more apt to save their children from
hardship, even by mourning it themselves,
which is not apt to be the case with slave
holders, who grudgingly admit that slaves
are partakers with them of common hui
mainly.
Q We think the Slaves are not better of
ia Slavery than they would be in Freedom.

The slavery Question.

We publish to-day the speech Of Mr..
CLiNGMAN, of North Carolina, delivered
in the House Of Representatives, upon the
slavery question. II was prepared with
much elaboration, delivered after consul
tation with members entertaining similar
opinions, and may be considered as the
platform Of the ultra-South for the pres
snt. That Mr.. CuNGMAH should be the
organ Of such opinions and sentiments,
that he should have allowed his mind TO
ponder upon the value of the Union in
taking position on the inhsmmatory side
Of a question which it has become the
fashion TO discuss, in view Of that dread
'ful alternative, only shows how dangerous
thing Il is, for men of even conservative
principles, TO give loose to their pas
SONS in considering matters Of national
concern.
IL y not our purpose 10 comment at
large upon the positions taken by Mr..
CLIscmAN in this speech. We find in il
speculstions which, we apprehend, will
give more comfort TO the disloyalists than
aid to the object which we devoutly be-
lieve the speaker desires to attain. That
some Of our Southern friends have arrived
at the conclusion that agitation and tenn
porary confusion will result in permanent
peace and ultimate advantage TO the Union,
there cannot be doubt But that, in pur-
suing such courss, they should bring to
their aid considerations having no relation
to the subject-matter in issue, is, in effect,
II seems TO us, to make the haven Of safety
easier Of access by sinking distractions in
the channel.
II would appear to be main object to
convince the North that the South is in
earnest in the position il has taken in re-
lation TO the slavery question. There can
scarcely be any thing wanting TO what has
already been done to produce that convic-
ton If il be possible thing. The South
ern States have wrought themselves into
the belief that property, secured to them
by the Constitution, TO the amount Of
millions and billions Of dollars, rs jeo-
