Mr.. ED1roR: noticed, few days since,
q statement in the "Brunswic,:er" of the
4th inst, which, we suppose, was taken
from q Boston paper. The statement was
IN effect about this "There is trouble in
the Cambridge Law School, between the
Northern and Southern Students, upon the
subject Of Slavery. A challenge to mortal
combat has passed, but the faculty have in
terfercd." Now, the statement is correct
so far as that there was difficulty; but no
challenge has passed, nor did the faculty
know ausht of any difficult, until after the
affair had blown over. There has been q
warm discussion here upon the subject OF
Slavery forced upon The South by Northern
members who have, on several occasions,
urged discussion on that subject. 1t was
at length voted that we should debate it.
The North commenced TRADE against
Slavery as !bei7g an evil, and sin morally,
socially and politically, and as being antago-
nistic to the principles inculcated in the
scriptures. They were promptly met on
every ground, By Southern gentlemen, and
forced to abandon their positions. At least,
they would adopt one ground when forced
from another, and when they had gotten
through all their positions, they would make
stand on III. first ground they had taken,
and SO they went round in a circle. A
member from New York then, as his argu-
ments had failed, commenced system of
abuse upon the South. He held "Uncie
Toms Cabin !" in one hand and the Key :"
in the other, from which he selected the
most disgracefui features, and presented
them as an acreage of the condition Of the
Slave. He wound up by disseminating the
Slaveholding States as "charncl house,"
."prison," "Slave pen' and She'll" and
Shareholders "iiends." A member from
Maryland considered some of the remarks
that were made in the course Of his Ian
guage as personal, and demanded whether
they were so intended. The reply was,
nothing was intended as personal" A
member from Virginia then told the men,
Der from New York that he made remarks
for which he had no foundation, and were
entirely uncalled for, and if he meant that
Virginia was "hell, &c." he was Cd
puppy and lying scoundrel." The reply
was, 'rny humanity is so great you might
trample me in the dust and would strike a
: human being under no consideration. am
not man OF blood" Here ended the mat
ter. was not present at this conversation
but all parties say this was about the sub
stance Of it. The faculty did mol interfere
and SO far as am aware, they knew MOTH
ing of the affair until some time after.
