ANTI-sLAVERY LITERATURE.

The Southern journals often complain of the
invidiuus attacks against the principles of Slavery
to be found in almost all modern books. The
Daily Creole New Orleans) Of the 18th ult. says ::
a short time since, Grimshaw's History of the
United States to be found u xtbo1k in
most of public schools. We do not know
whether it retains this position or not But
we would cal! the attention of our readers to the
stealthy introduction Of AbolitOnism into its
pages. The author speaks of slavery as "a climax
of human cupidity and turpitude, glaring incon.
sistency between the public professions and private
actions of indigiduais' Again. the commerce
which liberty extended is now made subservient
to the increase Of Slavery and has placed the
last rvets to the chain, and plead necessity &c.
The above is with reference to its introduction
here. Not content with this donunciation towards
the close Of the volume he treats Of the historical
fact Of its abolition by the Northern States and in
duges his prophetic yatcinations in the following
language:
ga heavy grievance is yet to be removed. Nir-
ginia WILL we confidently anticip pate at distant
period. make arrangements to uuloosen,b degrees,
