We avail ourselves of the continued failure OF
mails. and the consequent dearih of matters of
interest. to publish the suhioined speech by Rev.
DIR. Ross upon the subject Of slavery. DIR. Ii. Is
strong thinker and bold speake'. As much
as this subject has been discussed, the original
views presented by the speaker prove that 1t has
bv no means been exhausted None who read the
speech can fail to be impressed with its vigorous
ana pointed style. We commend lis perusal par
t;cularly to those who have been accustomed TO
regard slavery a necessary evii-instead Of a
benign and providential institution advantage
