The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1851-01-14

The Hon. H. S. Foole, Of Mississippi, recently
delivered lecture on this subject at Philadelphia,
before large and intelligent audience. Some Of
the passages, a. published in Ike Philadelphia pa
pers, are very eloquent We extract the following;

Allow me- in conclusion, to offer few respect
tul suggestions in regard TO the course proper to
be pursued by us all, if we desire to give perma-
nency to those peaceful and kindly relations which
are now happily springing into new vitality among
us, and to banlsh for ever from midst those
hideous evils with which we have been so fearfully
menaced Tor many months past Believe me it
will not do TO tamper some OF us ave heretofore
madiy done, with this irritating and perous ques-
ton OF slavery. 1t will not be safe hereafter to
engage in attempts to obtain legislation OF any kind
whatever at the hands of Congress upon this deli
cate and dangerous subject. perfectly agree with
what was said the other day by one of the most
gifted of the of New England, in a speech
which does equal honor to his heart and to his head
| perfectly agree with Mr.. Curtis, of Boston, in
the opluion stated by him. that since the peace
measures OF the last session of Congress became
laws, there is no single point which the General
Government can touch the subject of slavery, for
any practical purpose, without putting the Union
in imminent and extreme danger" | agree with
him further, in thinking, " that there is now left
single point on which the Government of the
United States can undertake practically to do any
thing on the subject Of slavery that will not in all
probgbtitty, cause dissolution OF the Union"
Let u.s. then, for Heavens sake hereafter refrain
from all such dangerous Legislative experiments
