This reference contains what the schoo-mcn cal
'suppressio veri,' and within that n 'suggestic
falsi' 1t carefully conceals the opinions Of these
great men on the subject of slavery and convey,
by suggestion the impression that they approve o
it. shall show by their writings that, SO fal
from approving of slavery, they have openly, pnc
quivocally, and cloqucntly condemned and denoun
cel it,
Slavery says Montosquieu, is not useful, ci
;her to the master or to tho savo to the slave be
cause he can do nothing by virtue; to the master
because lie contracts with his slaycs all sorts o
evil habits, inurcs himself iuscnsby to neglect
every moral virtue, and becomes proud passionate
hardhcarted, violent, vuluptuous and cruel The
slave 1ees society happy, whereof he is not even
part; he finds that security is established for 9TH
ors, but not for him. hs perceives .hat his master
has Il soul capable OF selt-adyanGement while his
own is violently and forever rcprcssed. Moth
ing puts one ncaro- the condition Of tho beasts
than always TO see ireemen and not to be free -
Such person is the natural enemy Of the society
in which he lives. 1t is impossible to allow the
negroes are men, because if we allow them to be
men, it will begin 10 be believed that We are not
Christians.
Hear what Edmund Burke says: Nothing makes
slave but degraded man. In proportion as the
mind grows callous to its degradation and all sense
of manly pride is lost, the slave feels comfort. In
fact, be is no longer man. If were to define a
man, would say with Shakespeare,
Man is being, holding large discourse,
Looking before and AFTER
But slave is incapable Of looking before and af-
ter lie has no motive to do so. lie is mere
passive instrument in the hands of others, to be
used at their discretion. Though living, he is dead
as to all voluntary agency. Though moyi ng
amidst the creation with an erect form and with
the shape and semblance Of human bciug he is
a nullity as man.
Slavery is state so improper so degrading
and so runous TO the feelings and capacities Of
human nature, that it ought not TO be suffered to
exist
Hear also what Coeridgo says:
we have offended very grievously,
And been most tyrannous. From East 10 West,
\ groan of accusation pierces Heaven
The wretchcd plead against us; multitudes
Countless and vehement, the sons Of Cod
Our brethren! Like Il cloud that travels on,
Steam'd mp from Cairo's swamps Of pcstilence,
--------haye we gone forth,
And borne to distant tribes slavery and pangs,
-------------wh deep faint
With slow perdtiCn murders the whole man,
His body and his soulr
These extracts are, trust, sufficient to brush
away the foul insinuat,on that such men as Mon
tesquieu, Burke and Colerdge sanctioned slavery.
As well might the Rev. DR.. blow upon the fair
lame of Rosseau, Pitt and Cowper, as drag by in
uendo into the support of slavery, the revercd
names of the French philosopher the British
statesman, and the English poet.

BENJAMIN LUNDY,

Though we all know that posthumous Justice
cannot benefit the dead, it accords with experience
that the living are made better for rendering it.
1t is not generally known, perhaps, that Bcnja
min Lundy, illiternte, and with small means, com.
menced, and continued, until near The close of his
life, the Genius Of Unieers1l Emancipation" the
first periodical devoted to that cause, in this coun.
try.
Mount Pleasant. in Jefferson county, Ohio, was
the first location; next Tennessee; then Baltimore,
and lastly Washington, d. G.
The poet has not oyerratcd his merits; for al
though there are many more talented than he was,
who are laboring with head and heart, it may be
doubted if there are many who would or could
endure his privatons and suferngs-who could
entirely give to the suffering cause their mental
and physical energies. As specimens of lis la
bors he made two voyages to Ilayti with cmanci-
pated slaves, and travelled q 900 miles by land,
mostly on foot.
Abolitionists will do well to retain him in kind
remembrance SO long as slave wears chain.

SOUTHERN SKETCH BY A SOUTHERN
EDITOR.

The Richmond Elaminer is in the habit of argu-
ing, that slave-labor society is the only orderly,
peaceable an permanent form ofassociation known
amongst men. We commend to its attention the
following picture of the South drawn by South
ern citizen, the Editor of the ST. Louis Inteli-
gencer:-
"At the South that character called the Bully

BENJAMIN LUNDY.


Wo! for thy many triumphs, Death
Wo that the righteous pcrisheth,
And no man layeth it to heart.
Yet hath his spirit sweet release,
His troubles ard his trials cease,
And ever in the perfect peace
OF God he hath part.
Such bliss is thine, oh thou whose name
BY generous deeds is linkel to fame
Thou-whom no danger could nppal
When mindful of the heavenly CALL
To loose the slave from tyrant-thrall
Thy country from its shame
Nor toll, nor pain, nor scorn, nor wrath,
Nor rufian threats of stripes ard death,
Could turn thee back from duty's path,
In courage still the same
In otter days, when Slavery's power
Had triumphcd in an evil hour;
And weary with the bootless strife
With fainting hear aud feeble hand,
Detected stood the Spartan band,
Who warrsd for right as men for life
To thee twas given to rouse TIE land:
Young, poor, untitled, and unknown,
With fearless breath thy trump was blown,
Ald on the winds thy banner thrown
Abroad with single hand
Weeks, months, and years went by, and still,
Amidst accumulated i'll,
Thy spirit shrank not from its trial;
But true to Goo and human veal,
prassaJ on RI tod yoo1
In peril and in self-denia-
Till, reused by thee, the good awokc--
The dreamlcss sleep of years was broke
Men started from repose and saw
The trampled slave, with lifted eye,
Imploring in his agony
The Christians succor ere he die
The blessings of the Christians law
And underneath thy banners fold,
The aged man. the STRIPPING bold,
In mastering multitudes enrolled
And hurried to the war;
Peace be to thee who gave no peace
To Freedoms foes till life did cease
oh, hadst thou lived to see
The triumph of thy noble cause,
The reign of Right and Equal Laws,
And listen to the worlds applause,
Which yet shall sound for thee
How had thy spirit leaped to join,
With strength and ecstacy divine,
The anthem of the free
Rest, FRIEND OF Man thy grave shall be
Henceforth shrine, where pilgrim-fect
Shall press the turf that covers thee
And pilgrims lips thy deeds repeat
How, in an evil age and time,
Thy voice rebuked the tyrant's crime,
And bade the bondman hope and wait
The coming of n happier fate,
When Freedoms mandate should be spoken,
And every yoke and fetter broken.
The slave, upspringing from his chain,
The tyrant, from his guilt set free,
Shall wet thy grave with tears, like rain,
Weeping ard blessing thee
And until Time his fight shall end,
Thy deeds of daring shall be known
The moral triumphs thou hast won

LIBERATION OF A SLAVE on BOARD AN AMERICAN
NEssEL.-The St. John (Antig1a) Times, of the
10Th ult., says that on the day previous it was as

name of John Ross, who was anxious to set his
foot upon British soil where the inestimable boon
of freedom would be instantly realized but who
by come mea~s debarred from doing Co. al.

ashore. The superintendent OF police was made
acquainted with the circumstances and associated

placed him among freemen. This is what South!

their rights. The bringing the man into a free
port liberated him;and so does the bringing slave
into any place in wheh slavery is not tolerated. -

AN ENGLISHVIEWO OF THE CONSEQUENCES
OF A WAR BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN
AND TuE UNITED STATES.

This will be found in our columns to day, and
contains food for serious thought There is un-
questionably a very large number Of persons (of
which we are one in the free States, who would
sympathize with England in a war with this coun-
try, provoked by fllibusers for the purpose of ex-
tending the area Of slavery. They would never
lift an arm in such a contest unless it were against
their own countrymen The long series of outra.
ges on Northern rights perpetrated by the propa-
gandists, for period Of forty years. and culmina-
ting in theNebraska swiudlo and the subiugaton Of
Kansas has done much to weaken the bond of union
and the love Northern men feel for ''their South.
ern brethren" For one, we are free to say that if
we believed the dissolution of the Union wonld
hasten the abolition Of slavery we would rejoice
to see it rent into fragments this hour. Union
which tends to perpetuate q bondage so cruel and
bloody as that of the American slave, is purchased
too dear az any price
With three millions Of domestic enemy in
their midst, and q mighty host in the free States
sympathizng with the slaves the South would need
all the slavery and numbers of which DR.. BREcK
ENRIpCE boasts, to repel an English invasion
from her shores, and mayhap little more.
May it not be that God in His mysterious prov-
dence intends tc free the slaves by these means ?
We should hope and pray that peaceful measures
might succeed. That the oppressOr might be
brought to repentance, and led to do justly to his
victims. But if the wrong be subbOrnly persisted
in bloody deliverance must arise from some quar-
ter. Justice will not always sleep.
There is no serious present prospect OF war
with England. But who can tell what day may
bring forth? The madness that precedes desruc-
ton appears to have seized portion Of the slave
holders and it would not surprise us at all if they
succeeded in plunging this country into war with
Great Britain. Woe to them if they force the
question to the issue of the sword Free Pres6y-
