"a civilization" which is to he found IN the sou'n-
s.eru States of this Union -
Nor Let the advocates OF this human alt human.zlng
.cbeme sunnose that they will be without sympathy,
and then and finally active cooperation at
,,e Nor,b They now occasionally tauut US by throw
inc IN the fact as senator Butler did the other day in
the Senate that when the trade was legitimate 1t was
mainly carried on By northern capital nd in northern
vessels. Why ikey should use this fact As taun' we
cannot we'll understand. since they themselves snow
4. that these northern capitalists and traders were
rendering 70 the negro the most brothery and oehen
cent Office that happened TO his luckiess lot but
we will admit that there some bng US VINO do
potvew the matter altogether negro question but
believe that Slavery is far fatal and consuming
curse TO the white than it ever could be to the black
and IL that reason alone would fam see il swept out
of existence and though these persons do not hold
Themselves or their country accountable for the acts
of all the burglars aud pirates that may accidentally
be born in it, they will blush little when tainted
With these practices of their former neighbors and
towns-peope. From such no sympathy or aid can be
expected in the revival of the slave trades but there's
another class who will doubt gladly help on this
work of charity 10 Africa. some OF these
persons must now suffer occasionally from
the necessity of doing what is opposite to their
inner convictions For instance there is Mr.. District
At,orney Hallett of Boston who only two or three
days ago constrained by the exgences OF his Of
fee TO appear against man accused of slave trading
in the piracy degree and to declare the traffic nea-
rious according to the old stereot!ped phrase and
contrary to sound logic and the new-light philosophy
of The Southern Quarterly and the South generally.
Now everybody who knows Mr.. Hallett, knows that
this piece of inconsistency must have been as dlsa'
greeabe TO him as anything that is merely spoken can
be- OF the domestic slave trade he is an ardent and
unvaverng supporter, so unwavering indeed that
only the other day lie alone prevented the sale OF
Burns to the people of Boston and his liberation
there in order that that reedom.lOvng city might be
Inundated and that the fugitive might have no better
reward than the southern shambles for seeking 10
escape from that approach TO civilization which
he had enjoyed in Virginia And yet this lnsolent
hypocrte stands up in open Court and the
slave trade neiarious and moves for the punishment OF
men who have done nothing more than bring negroes
from Africa TO Slavery, just as Iallett drags them
from Boston to the fate. But this is apparently
only temporary necessity. If the South carries
the next point in it's programme, all the Halletts
in the country will in due time be released from the
Obligation thus to stultify themselves; and Slavery
and the slave trade will resume that position of honor
TO which their truly benevolent nature gives them
right, but of which, to borrow phrase from The
Southern Quarterly, great misunderstanding, many
characterization, violent hostites unwse and
immature legislation, and vast quantity OF insane
"philanthropy" have of late years deprived them.
