cuss;on Of slavery is clothed with malignant zeal
by some of our northern brethren; DO not con-
denim them generally; have good authority for
not doing so; but there are some, Who under
the guse of philanthropy for our slaves seek to

si<tinc between them and their owners. with

cherish those who look up to Us for support and
protecticn! Should ignorance be barrier to
our kindly feelings! 1t is the prerogatlve OF
noble mind to comnisera,e ard support the help
less! Slavery has tendency to soften, not
brutaize the MASTER
