The recent lecture Of Mr.. Blair of Missouri
on "The Destiny of the Races on this Con-
tinent. and the various comments that have
been made upon it, suggest some practical
thoughts connected with the subject and with
the shape that parties are to take in the next
presidential contest. Mr.. Blair is slave
holder, or AS he says, certain negroes in Mis-
souri, claim right in him. 1t is objected
that it is great letting down Of the standard
for auti-slavery men in Massachusetts, TO fra
ternize with him. while be treats slavery only
as AN evil, upon economical and political
grounds This is considered taking very low
ground, and, and it is insisted that nothing
can be done with effect against the slave sys-
tenn unless we start with the declaration that
IL is a sin, nahum IN se as the thoologiaus
say. Granted that it is so--that if slavery
is not to be set down as a sin, there is no
such thing as sin in human conduct and char
actor, because no other act OF one man to-
wards another includes the violation of so
many of the moral laws--stil it does not fol-
low that we may not sympathiso and cooper
ate with those who. from education or some
other cause. take lower view, and look upon
10 only as am evil The essential thing, and
all that is necessary 10 united action, is sub
stanual agreement that the thing is to be OPP
posed, circumscribed, and got rid of, by the
use of every means in our power. This is a
sufficient basis for associatcd effort. and those
who consider it heir duty to attack slavery
as a sin against God and man may without
any outrage upon conscience bid God-specd
to those who seek its overthrow merely as an
Improbable system of labor
