We have not deemed it incumbent on US
10 print the preliminary Prospectus of the
proposed Southern Organ at the Metropolis,
which is TO be devoted to Slavery and moth
ing else. Perhaps the managers will wish
to advertise it with us. We heartily agree
with them that good will result from the
establishment Of an undisguisedly, exclusive
ly Pro-Slavery Organ at Washington. As
they say, if an Anti-Slavery journal can be
well supported there, one Of the antago-
mist order ought to be. The existing jour
mails do not answer the purpose--they think
too much Of their platforms and parties.
Net being politicians themselves, the authors
Of this Organic movement can't tolerate
partisanship in their journals. All they
care for is security for the "sixteen hundred
millions worth Of negro property" involved
in and threatened by the present agtations.
So Slavery wants an Organ, and by all
means should have it. We have no doubt it
will be established, and effect world of
rood. The signers Of the Address well say
aAs vet the South has taken no steps to appear
and plead at the bar Of the world, before which
she has been summoned and by which she has
been tried already without a hearing. Secured by
Constitutional guarantees. and independent OF all
the world SO TAR as its domestic institutions are
concerned, the South has reposed under the con
sciousness Of right and independence, and for
home to plead at q bar which she knew had no
jurisdiction this particular subject. In this
hswo hoo nil ioh Init llxy
We have made great mistake
Yes, you may bet yourlife it, 1t was
great mistake not to attempt TO justify
Slavery to an impartial world; but still
greater not to attempt to justify it to your
selves. 1t is but q year OF two since in the
chief intellectual assemblage or reunion in
Charleston, s. c., an incidental discussion
arose touching the naked economy of Slavery,
entirely regardless of its moral or ethical
! bearings. A more thorough discussion at
! the next meeting was proposed and agreed
10. The time arrived and so did the three
or four adversaries Of Slavery--none of
them Ab0litionists, and all Southern men
or connected with Slave-holding interests.
Not one other of the hundred or SOD Who
usually attended these meetings made his
appearance that evening! So the three or
four officers sat while, took their supper,
and then their leave and no discussion on
the tabooed theme has ever since been held
there. Yet Slavery now proposes to hold
up her right hand and plead at the bar of
Public Opinion. That is step in the right
path and we rejoice at it.
We subjoin, as matter Of record, the
names of the Members of Congress who
have united in the Address in behalf of this
especial champion Of Slavery:
