Edward Dodd, Robert Hall.
result of careful observation and extensive inquiry, has
reached the obvious and just conclusion that human
slavery the great primary curse and peril OF the South
and wealth This conclusion, with the facts on which
is founded, is embodied in his book, entitled "The I'm
pending Crisis OF the South"-a work everywhere
ceived and hailed by tho advocates of free labor
OF the most mpregnabe demonstrations Of the Justice Of
their cause and the vital Importance Of its triumph to
national and general well being We're every citizen in
possession Of the facts embodied In this book we feel
confident that slavery would soon peacefully pass away,
while republican triumph In 1850 would be morally GER
tain.
1t is believed that this testimony Of Southern man.

Both the original book and the "Compen-
dium" are to be found at Burdick's, the pub
Usher, formerly No. Spruce, now No. las
Nassau street. Any person going there can
purchase copy, as we did. There is still
large stock on hand. An immense sale has
been already effected, to say nothing of the
vast number of copies distributed gratuitously
If the names Of members of Congress which ap-
pear in the foregoing extract have not been
signed by their permission, our columns are
open to them to say so and to disclaim the SEN
frnents Of this reasonable book. But till they
do SO the public will hold them responsible
Perhaps some are scared at the consequences
of their folly--the tragedy whose first act was
played at Harper's Ferry, whose second act is
performed at Char]estown to-day, and whose
third act is still in the womb of futurity. They
have good reason to be scared at the
effects produced by book to which
they are publicly represented as having
lent their names. For, what does the book
teach? 1t teaches that slavery at the South
"n,,,st be ttroted," and that if it cannot be put
down by moral force and by Legislative enact
ments, it must be overthrown ''by violence; and
achateuer consequences may foAoac, they (the
nbolitionists) are determined to hare 1t, one ,oay
L. as plain as one of John Browns pikestaffs.
In the name of the abolitionists, the writer of
the book swears solemn oath, that if slavery
be not abolished, they twill fight till from
their bones the flesh be hacked" Probably il
the instruction in Virginia had not followed
his publication, there would be no sneaking
attempt to shirk responsibility; but that makes
the matter somewhat serious for weak nerves.
Let those members of Congress, therefore,
whose names have been affixed to the treasona-
BILE document without their consent and all
those who arc scared at the result, come for
ward at once and disavow all connection with it.
