be unjust TO the blacks and ridculously inprsct-
cable ss to both. The negroes are a6xture. They

The provision which Mr.. Mott proposes 10 maize,
both for them and their masters, is Remedial
Code" adapted to preserve "the essential quail
ity Of Slavery the being held to labor on
the one hand, and the being held to maintain labor
on the other-without the evils which now resait
TO both masters and slaves and directly or re-
motely to the whole community. BY means Of
such code he hopes TO provide, for the slavee %
body. something better than freedoms sort
Of sccalistic postion-such advantages and secnri-
ties as shall compensate them for being held to Ia
Dor; so that considerable slave might prefer this
condition even TO that of freedom. The mass OF
the slaves having thus an interest in the eontine-
aRce of the system, of course stop would be put
to running away, and s necessity removed for that
Fugitive Slave act which has caused 90 much die
salts action at the North, and which a. Mr.. Mott
Justly observes, never can be enforced as It now
stands, because going beyond the provision Of the
Constitution that ugitiyes from labor 'shall be de-
liyercl up on claim of the party to whom the labor
may Be due, it provides-against the general will
and feeling of the North-for delivery before any de-
csion that labor is due.
But not only would the proposed Remedial
Code" thus benefit the slaves, il would benefit the
MASTER no less by providing something better than
Slavery as il now EXISTS more available labor 10
return for the ra,ions and privileges Of the aborer
better service with less difficulties and iears' 20
that a considerable master, looking merely ~ his
own benefit, might prefer this new system to the
old one and the whole body Of masters hnd their
interest in aiding and sustaining it.
And 10 this would be added third great bene-
ft-one TOO, OF unreasonable importance--the
satisfaction of the conscience and philanthropy Of
the country, by giving full scope, in happy me-
dunn between extremes, to the truest benevolenee,
the most faithful duty, and the most earnest Chris
tan charity in which the South, taking the indie
persable lead, might welcome and should receive
the hearty aud enthusiastic encouragement and aid
of the North
Such is a general outline Of the system Of ldess
embodied in the first twelve chapters Of Mr.. Notts
pamphlet. These chapters, however, do not evolve
this system by any gradual logical process-eacb

in which, though nomnally devoted to some par
tcular topic of illustration or argument, the whole
tn, ory or system of Mr.. Mott is more or less appo-
stey aud fully introduced.
After this preliminary matter we come 70 the
thirteenth chapter, containing Suggestions iof
Remedial Code" which suggestions form the
kernel of the book They are arranged In eight
sections, having reference FIRST, to tho right Of
the master to demand and enforce labor; second
TO the marriage and domestic relations OF the
slaves which it is proposed to preserve inviola'e;
third. 10 sales and emigration, in which the FEEL
inqs and convenience of the slaves are 10 DC con-
suited and provided for no less than those OF the
masters fourth, to the right Of acquiring, bold
ing and transmitting property Of their own, which
it is proposed to by law 10 the slaves 40 II ~
now secured to the Russian seris; fifth, pro-
visions for religion, education and religious wor.
shp sixth, the extension Of the general protection
of the low to the slaves, and the establishment Of
tribunals for the enforcement of their rights sev'
enth provisions for enabling such of the slaves az do
not prefer this improved y stem Of Slavery, to invest
such property as they may acquire in the purchase
of their own freedom, and eighth, certain provisions
for the benefit Of the free colored persoDs thus
emancipated.
Upon all these topics there is 8 multitude Of de-
tails into the enumeration much less into tho
discussion, of which We have not space 10 CO. We
refer those of our readers who Interested 10
the subject to the book ITSELF assuring them that
however they may differ in whole or in part from
it's conclusions, they will find II eminenty sug'
gestiye 81.
Though there ore many fundamental pointe OF
difference between us and Mr. Mott, let US do him
the Justice to say that his book gives every evil
dence of Just humane, candid, truth-oving spirit,
aud, what Is of still greater consequence, OF fesoi'
NJ ~ to act Ms well as to speculate. Should IL meet
with response in the same spirit from the "Cnris'
tisn Patrsrchs ofthe South to whom 1t 10 primarily
addressed, totally new face might soon be pptupon
the subject of Slavery, both as theoretical cues
ton aud a. practical fact. We very much fear
however, that Mr.. Mott will find that, however
.he South may abound with patriarch" the
number Of "Christian Patriarchs y is exceedingly
limited; while at the North we apprehend the only
effect, though surely that was not the intentaon Of
