The idea Of raising stock to supply our wants

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Putnam's Magazine, for the last month, charged
that the foreign slave trade was protected by the
till 1908 in consequence of northern
effort, stimulated by northern greed. A Boston
writer resents the charge throwing it back upon
the South, and defends Massachusetts,.
We don't see the use of wasting words in such
a controversy. Virginia is now as she has always
been in favor of the slave trade. She has always
been in favor of trading in Virginiaas, if'not in
Africans and so has Massachusetts,. And SO are
they both in favor of this trade to-day. So devoted
are both these States land they are not alone in
their DEVOTION that they %convulse the whole ma

trading Richmo invokes the aid of the commqn-
derin chief of the army and navy to bring back
the escaped merchandise to the Market, and Bos-
ton calls out her militia to transmit the Rev. An

satisfaction of writing out a bill of sale in due
FORM as prescribed by Virginia Statutes. And

THE LATEST.

One of the latest arguments in favor of the
Peculiar Institution" appears in the Columbia
Is. c. Times, of the 9th inst. In an article rid
iculing the idea of q ball to raise funds for the
poor in New York, The Times triumphantly ex-
claims
What a contrast, in respect to the comfort OF
the laboring classes and their abundant means Of
supporting themselves during Ike inclemencies Of
ptnte1, does the South present'when compared with
the North. Such an occurrence as a whole family
perishing of hunger and cold is absolutely unknown
among us. But scarce a winter passes by at the
North that does not witness the most heart sicken-
ing spectacles of death, from starvation and the
inclemenoies of the season. What is the cause of
this difference in the two sections of the same
Confederacy? May not the cause be ascribed to
the fact that the ladOring classes Of the South are
mostly sLaces, whose welfare is carefully provided
for by humane and providential masters, whose
%intetest it is to take the best possible care of
them 2"
1t is remarkable that persons never perish with
cold where the average winter temperature is from
ten to twenty degrees above the freezing point
and, of course, it is all owing to the b~enefcent
influence of slavery, though are certainly should
not have thought Of ascribing the fact to any such
cause. The sun, too, at this season, is nearly an
hour longer above the horizon ut Charleston than
in New York-all, no doubt, owing to "the fac,

PHILLIPS IN TINE MINISTRY

A Rev, writer in a New England paper, who
says he walked nine miles to hear Wendell Phil
lips lecture, thinks very we'll of him for an infdel,
and thinks he might be something considerable if
he was only a minister. lie says: eff he WEN
dell Phillips) was only in the gospel ministry, with
an enthusiastic lore for the Bile, the Sabbath, the
Church, and other religious Institutions, and at the
same time an unquenchable hatred of SIN, in all its
forms, We can think Of no living clergyman who
would qnie equal him. lie would be another
George Whitefcld."
Wendell Phillips is a laborious and successful
minister of that gospel which breaches deliverance
to the captives and the opening of prison doors to
those who are bound. And that was the gospel OF
Jesus, as it is the Gospel of humanity. Wendell
Phillips is the minister of that religion which is
pure and undefled, visiting the fatherless and
widow in their affections" Wendell Phillip;
shows an unquenchable hatred to all sin, and es
pecially to the most hcinous of all sins, the sin Of
the American church and ministry, in ~justifying
the chattelizing Of human beings, and fellowship
ing, as Christlike, the enslavers of men.
Was Wendell Phillips in the ministry, rs thi:
writer would have him, IL would be as Sampson
shorn of his locks; for peerless as he well nigh is
among living orators, he owes this triumph not SO
much to the grace and impressiveness of hissman
ner--to the beauty and force of his language, or
the originality and strength of his thoughts, as to
the sublime truthfulness and goodness of his cause
and the earnest sympathy of his heart with the
principles of that cause.
The virtues of the man, which give him his
browning glory as an orator, the ministry in the

out leaving only the grace of a ~heartless. manner,
and the beauty and brilliance of a cold intellec-
tuality. And the slave may well thank God and
take courage, that Wendell Phillips and others
have remained uncorrupted in their love of free
dom, by the willy stratagems of a pro-slayery
church and ministry.

the Government Of every state in the Union stands
by Richmond and Boston in this jealous protec-
ton Of the minutest rights and privileges of slave
trading, And then Virginia nings it at Massa-
chusetts MS a disgrace, that she cherished the for
eign slave trade, and Massachusetts seems to throw
back the charge in scornful recrimination.
1t may not be easier, but it would certainly DO
better to fix these charges as they may justly DO
d one, uyon the living generation of slave traders,
rather upon one dead and buried. The past gen.
Grafton unquostionably gave tolerance to the slave

A SHARP CONTROVERSY.

Has been going on for two or three weeks
past, between the Anti-Slavery Standard and Com
munipaw, a correspondent of Frederick Douglass
Paper. We refer to it now to notice one point only
in the controversy. The writer in Douglass Paper
charges that there is no room on the old organized
platform for colored men, A serious charge, and
if substantiated, should and will utterly disgrace
that platform, and all who are thus. The charge is
untrue; and the last Standard most incontrovcrlibly
proves it false exclusive Not only have old organ.
izationists not excluded colored men fromtheir plat
form, but they have ever gladly welcomed them,
and even extended to them the hand of help and
Society and all its auxiliaries. We know it to be
especially true Of the Western Anti-Slavery Soci.
ETY.. Invariably has this been done, whenever a
colored man has been found qualified for ~anti-sla-
very usefulness, as a lecturer or otherwise. They
have not had the folly to invite colored men to their
platform merely because they were colored. That
is no qualification for anti-slavery service. Many
colored men who can speak with huency are pro-
slavery, or timidly conservative. Others, who are
active in anti-slavery in their own way, are the un.
disguised and violent opponents of our measures
and principles. While We acknowledge fully the
rights of such, and grant them the freest tolerance
even upon our platform, we cannot, of course EN-
ploy them as agents of our associations, or repre-
sentatives of our distinctive views. Nor coult
they desire such employment. The STANDARD
charges that the object of the writer is to destroy
the confidence of the colored people in abolition
lists. Such certainly will be his influence, so far a
his charges are credited. 'Communiraw' is DR.. j
