The LONDON TINES oS SLAvERY.-On

1t is not our business to deny them much
justice and truth on their side, or to stand
up for the planters, who took line which
repealed all reasonable advocacy. But,
roniesSedly taking the grand summary
view Of thc question which we cannot
help taking after quarter Of century,
the process was failure; itdcStroycd an
immense property, ruimed thousands Of

direct Encouragement, we have been Oh
llSed at last to recognize and admit per-
slstent Slave owners to an equal rank in
our commerce. Everybody who comes
fresh into the question, uncompromiscd
and unbiased, admits the failure, and asks
why we did not attempt gradual or spon-
tancous emancipation, if it was, indeed,
utterly impossible to improve the practice
ofslavcry into something more like that
We read of in sacred as we'll rs classical
antiquity. The more these questions are
asked, and the more these doubts abound,
the more positive are the men of the past
that they did right in their days, and that
they cannot be improved upon in our
