Navy DIRK. Jan. 80. 1859.
ny Dear Sir have yours of The l7th
You ask me why the Abolition OF Slavery Is
depme desirable. answer, very briefly:
|. Because, in the order OF Naturr. every
a luIt human being has a right to use his own
l-giyen faculties MUSCLE. sinewS. organs for
the s,lslenanCo aud comfort of himself aud his
family. Consequently, it is wrong to divest
him Of the control OF those capacities and rem
dsr him hclplessly subservinet TO tho pleasure
AMI aagran iiLsment Of another
II. Because the mixture of Whites aud
Blacks in the same community, society, house
hold--an inevitable result of African Slavery
: not favorable to the moral purity or social
advancement of either caste, Better let the two
roces form separate communities.
Ill Because the earth should b, 50 cutiva,
ted, and the various departments of Industry SO
mixed and blended thai every years cultivation
should incress, rather thlh diminish the pro-
ductiye capacities OF tn, sol. Slavery, by
placing long distances betweei those who pur
sue Agriculture and Manufactures respectively
fUrbds this.
". Because the fullest cultivation of his
Intellect, through e Elucation, Reading, Study,
&c. is the night Of every rational being. In the
Divine Economy this would seem Que of the
main reasons for placing men on earth Slavery
is Incompatible with such cultivation, forbid
ding its subjects even 30 read or write.
V. Slavery is palpabIy at war with the funda-
mental basis of our GoyerumanI---the inaienable
Rights of Man. II is chief obstacle to the
progress of Republican institutions throughout
the world. II is standing reproach to ouI
country abroad. 1t is tie cause Of exultatiOu
AMI Joy on the side Of the armed drspots, It il
worth more To the Austrian and French tyranls
than an additional army of 100, coo men.
VI Slavery is the chief cause Of dlss'nsior
aud hatreh among ourselves 1t keeps us per
petoaiy divided, jealous, hostile II il w-r,
abolished we should never dream OF Gshting e lcl
other, nor dissolyng the Union.
VII. Slavery powerfully aids to keep in powe
the most thoroughly unprinciped party, tht
most corrupt demaSogues that ou: country ho,
ever known.
VII Slavery makes n few rich, hut sink
the great mass even ot the Free, into inIeence
deprayity and misery. Ii prrvenis the sccu
mutation of wealth. II renders Land drug
aud keeps Population SC sparse and scaltere,
that Common Schools are for The most part i'm
possible.
For these and other reasons, | am nmonl
those who labor and hope for the early and com
piete Abolition of Human, bat especially o
American Slavery. Yours, HoRAcE GREELy.

POLICEMEN AND PoIlrNs.-Our blessed Police
Commissioners have cut up many strange vaga-
ries since the period when they first entered On
their official existence. The last and not the
least strange Of their acts has been the promul-

force from identifying himself with political as
sociations There is no denying the morality of
this new commandment, whether as applied to
policemen or laymen; but we should very much
Nbec to know who made The Commissioners spiri-
tual advisers to their subordinates. What more
right have they to tell the men under their con-
troll that they shall not belong to political as
