The following rational and enlightened way
OF treating the slavery question we find in a
late number Of Backwood's Edinburgh Mag

tics When even journals of that description
are found advocating the sol. right OF "Iocal
legislatures tothe control of the slavery qnss.

of the usufpad powers of G ,ngress on the sub

a review of a late work by Mrs Stowe
"Sunny Memories"
We may object to slavery in America, as
we may oblrct TO the same institution in Tur-
key, or TO sertage in Russia, or to anything
else beyond our cogn=ance and urisd ,c:iop

Most assutedly We have no ri .ht to dictate
