The Gospel and Slavery.

Nathan Lord, d. d., President of
Dartmouth College, has written a sec
ond letter to ministers ofthe gospel of
all denominations on the subject of
slavery. He reanirms that slavery is
an ordinance of God; that it is justif-
ed by both natural and revealed reli-
gion, and should not be abolished
while the reason for it exists. He
makes no apology for the evils of sIa-
very, and thinks that it concerns min
listers of the gospel only as an ethical
and theological question. In his view,
slavery is a variety OF government by
which one man rules over another,
subject onl y to the ordinances Of God
and of the State. While the Scrip
lures nowhere prohibit il, they ex-
pressly recognize it. and enjon both
master and servant 10 discharge the
duties which their relation invoIycs.--
The letter is said to hc remarkable Tor
lis logic, and its premises lead to iney-
table conclusions that cannot but
shock the nerves Of the white cravats
and black coats OF New England, that
have 50 long been addicted to depict
ing the horrors OF slavery, and the sin
full and goddess character Of slavehold-
ers. What will Professor SiIlman,
who was ready TO doN his professional
robe and shoulder his musi;et against
the stakeholder, say 20 this pro-sIavcry
emanation from q collegiate aswell as
clerical source! What will the an
ti-slavery rhetorician. Parker, the elo-
quent ranter, Phillips, aud the whitcd
sepulchre and brilliant humbug,
Beecher, say to it! Is not declama-
ton against slavery even as meat,
bread. and railnen5 to them! What
is the Bible to such expounders, if it
is to be used, and used Justly, in de-
Tense Of slavery! OF course, they will
fly to intideIity rather than 20 be con-
fined to the dry exposition of u book
which has nothing in it to condemn the
hughes sin, according TO their dictum,
OF which men and nations are guilty.
Then what enjoyment will cup oftea
in the evening be to the pious, thanis-
giving, understanding, sort @. people,
if they are to be denied. on spiritual
grounds, the indulgence Of retiring al
forwards and min2iing with prayers
for the durability and consinucd lint
ness Of Plymouth Rock, and every
splinter thereof, maIiSOnS upon their
Southern brethren VINO have the au-
dacity to think differently from them
selves on a question which concerns
the latter alone? Why, if Lords doc
trines become prevalent, the pumpkin
pies on Thanksl;iving-day will lose
their flavor, and small thanks will be
rendered if the Jealous pietists are for
bid to thank God that they are intin-
itely better than Southcrners are
Prot. Lord has fearful account to
render for setting up the morality Of
Christ and Paul against the philan-
thropy of the intidel Garrison and the
slave-stealcr Williams; and. OF COURSE,
he will become the victim Of such rash
ness. He would not risk his populari-
ty by the expression Of such dctesti
bic sentiments in Massachusetts with
out being sincere, and such sincerity
is worthy Ola distinguished martyr.

True Education.

The object of all true education is
to vitalize knowledge. Some teach
ers instruct their scholars very thor
oughly, who never educate them at all.
They teach them to commit the rules
of their arithmetic or grammer by
heart, but never lead them to compre-
lhend single principle; make them
learn thousands of names of places,
without giving them any idea Of geog-
Eaphy.

If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
