PARsoE BRowNLow'S ARGUMENT FOR SLAVERY.
The tournament on the slavery question be.
tween the two Methodist clcrgymen, Parson
Brownlow, of Tennessee, for, and Rev. Mr.
Pryne, of New York, against slavery, commenced
on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Brownlow's argument, which owing toan
attack Of bronchitis he employed another person
to read, is thus condensed by the Bulletin:
That slavery is divine institution from the
earliest ages of the world; that the word servant
as it appears in the Bible, everywhere means,
i in the original, sEGCe; and that the word yoke
means, literally, SLAVERY; that Christ neverire-
buked slavery, or reprehended it at any time
that, on the contrary, he directed that servants
or slaves should be obedient to their masters;
that the present antagonism TO slavery is a
modern notion; that throughout the entire
Jewish history God has perpetuated and estab-
/ lished the institution. He set forth that the
earlier founders of the Christion church passed
through life without utteriDg word against
slavery, while John Wesley, in his own report
to the Board of Missions, recommended the
purchase of African slaves, to be used as SER
wants to the missionaries.
The New England states hadnever been par
ticularly engaged in the slave trade No, stree.
Their yirtuous and puritanicnl efforts were d.
rected to slave stealing. They opened slave
depot in the vrtuous and lberty-loving city of
stands. But they found that slave labor didn't
lpay in the sterilesoil of Yankee land, and they
sold their slaves to the South. The first negro
stealers were New England people-Hartford,
Providence, Bristol, and other toWns-whose
extreme blue laws fined a man for kissing his
wife on Sunday, received large numbers of slaves
direct from the coast of Africa; while in Boston
some 1000 were received on consignment, di-
rectly stolen from the coast of Africa.
Among the prominent abolition preachers
was Rev. DIR. DIN. DIR. DIN came to Georgia
from the North in the character of school
teacher lie came, and was kindly received by
Bishop Andrews. He prospered, and Ultimate
ly married an estimable Georgia lady, who
owned goodly number of slaves. What does
our reformer do? Why, he cashes the slaves
and then returns to the North, and when Bishop
Andrews was arTaigned before synod on tue
charge of marrying widow lady who owned
some slaves, DR.. Olin, who had become minis
ter, stood up upon the floor, spoke against his
benefactor, and actually cast his vote in favor of
his expulsion.
The remainder of Mr.. Brownlow's hour was
devoted to showing the characters, as he viewed
it, of the northern abolition leaders:

AN ANT1.sLAYERY CANDIDATE FOR Governor
OF YIRcIN1A.-The following Card we find going
the rounds of our exchanges, copied from one
of the Richmond papers:
'"To THE People OF VIRGIS1AI-I hereby pro.
claim myself candidate for the Office of Gov
ernor Of the State of Virginia, ana shall urge
with whatever ability possess, the wisdom of
accepting one hundred millions of acres of the
puplic land. the money accruing theresrom to be
applied to the gradual extinction of slavery, by
purchasing the young slaves and their migra-
ton beyond the United States Had Virginia
applied the hundred millions of acres that she
gave to the United States in 1887, to this pur-
pose the banks of her majestic rivers would
now be teeming with a thrifty white population,
aud strewn with cities, villages ane cottages
Shew would (autoug all of the states of the Fede-
raj Union) have been first in agriculture, first
in commerce and first in manufactures. Give
mo but fair field to combat my riyaIs-I ask
