Mr.. Helper is native of North
Carolina, who, as the result OF careful
observation and extensive inquiry,
has reached the very obvious and just
conclusion that human slavery is the
great primary curse and peril Of the
South, impeding its progress in NOR
ais, intelligence, industry and wealth
This conclusion, wish the facts on
which it is founded, is embodied in
his book entitled The Impending
Crisis Of the SOuth-a work every.
where received and hailed by the ad.
vocates OF free labor as one of the
most impregnable demonstrations OF
the Justice OF their cause, and the vi.
tai importance Of its triumph to our
national and general well.being.--
Were every citizen in possession Of the
facts embodied in this book, We feel
confident that slavery would soon
peacefully pass away, while Repub-
licad triumph in 1860 would be NOR
ally certain.
!. is believed that this testimony of
a Southern man, born ana reared un q.
der the influence Of slavery, will be
more generally listened to and pro-
found y needed, whether in the slave
or i'll the free Stales, than an equally
able and conclusive work written by
a Northern man And Il is very de-.
slra5!e, therefore, that II cheap com.
pend OF its cohtens, fitted for gratui.
tous circulation, be now made and
generally difused in those States
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana
and Illinois which are to decide the
next Presidential contest.

Our Republican party leaders
when taxed with abclitionism, inform
us, with great appearance .! candor
that they have 10 designs against sIa
very in The States. They will, per
haps, continue to say this; bnt unprej
udiced people will hereafter know how
much credit is due to their declara
tions. The object of the circulation
OF the book is to Induce in the minds
of its readers a decided and persist
ent repugnance to slavery" and this
in the Northern States. Now there
is scarcely man in the Northern
States who would not prefer that sIa-
very should not be further extended
within the limits OF the Union. To
this end, therefore, there is no need ol
measure like the one proposed
