MASSACHUSETTS ABoIITIONIsTs- INTERESTING Re.
roRT.-We publish to-day an interesting report
from the pen Of Richard Yeadon Esq, of the
Charleston Courier, Of late sermon by Rev
Theodore Parker. and late familiar discussion
between Mr.. Yeadon on the one side, and DR..
Parker and VIM. Lloyd Garrison on the other,
on the abstract question of niggers and niger
slavery and to the careful perusal of this report
we invite our intelligent readers
Garrison Parker and the abolitionists of that
school are out of this fight, and South Caro-
hna notification has become but sorry scare
ossk a the Buchanan and Forney democracy
This sport, therefore, of Mr. Yeadon, is not to be
considered as an electioneering document, either
for abolitionis,s or nullfers. 1t must be taken
a. H. Teal, physiological, geographical and
philoso. ssrssion Of niggers and niger
slavery, reference to Kansas or to
Governor Va, and the price Of niggers. 1t is
an outside Eight Of a South Carolina nullifer
against two Massachusetts, abolitonists. II be-
gins with a description Of DR.. Parker and an
abolition sermon from that learned divine on
niggers, and closes with notification lecture
on the military strength of the South
"ebo shins and gizzard feet inclusive. The
sermon and discussion abound in Scriptural
quotations. philosophy chop logic and curious
facts in the natural history Of the niger,
with some passing illusions to Irish market wo-
men and men Of letters, Mr.. Hears mission to
Charleston and threatened coat Of tar and
feathers. On his part, Mr.. Yeadon shows how
the South Carolina niggers get fat on RICE ma
laria and sunshine, which are certain death to
the white man, while Garrison pokes him in the
ribs in reference to the Southern penal laws
against teaching niggers TO read and write Mr.
Yeadon touches upon the savage niggers of Africa
as compared with Carolina niggers, and Dr. Par
ker pleads the statute Of limitation. In the course
of the debate it win be seen that the Charleston
nullitier, Mr.. Yeadon, comes to a rather good
opinion Of the Boston abolitionist, Mr. Garrison,
though he has a different opinion of Seward and
some others of that set Of philosophers on Mig
gers TIC the end of the controversy we are as
surcd that Dr. Parker, at whose house this debate
occurred, behaved himself not like Carolina
niger, or any other niger, but altogether like
gentleman and a scholar.
We cheerfully publish Mr.. Yeadon's report Of
this niger debate for what it is worth II will
be seen that nothing was made Of the matter by
either side-that both parties left of precisely
where they began, with the profound conviction
on each side that the other was all wrong. And
there we are compelled to leave them; for It b
about an even toss up between the South Carolina
nullifer and the Massachusetts, abolitonist-be-
tween the Charleston secessionist If slavery Is not
extended, and the Boston disunionist If slavery is
not abolished Neither Of them enter into the
Fremont programme and yet there is no damage
done to give them both hearing. n South Ca

the Carolinian has evidently the weight Of the
argument but on the subject of disunion be sud-

Brooks and Gov. Wise. Finally, there il much
Of interest and something of instruction in this
report Of Mr.. Yeadon, though we must confess
that it amounts to little more than heavy wash.
