the land, machinery, and slaves, together, could
be, with unintelligent constrained labor"
There are other remarks of the same nature,
all tending to show that, IN the opinion OF the
editor, a tariff is the sovereign remedy for all
the ills that flesh is heir to" If a man is as
saulted his body imprisoned, and his labor con-
strained. he would have Government remedy
the evil and right the injured by increasing the
duty on iron, coal, and sugar. Mr.. Greeley's
policy has been tried long time in Louisiana,
and Slavery does not seem to be very seriously
injured. | do not believe in any such doctrine,
or that Slavery has been or will be abolished
by any such law of pure selfshness. On the
contrary, believe that Slavery has been abol
ished by the influence upon legislation of Chris
tian benevoenee and the common-law rule that
there are natural rights, and all Prescriptions
are in favor of them And in this country and
everywhere it will be overthrown, if at all, by
straightforward legislation in favor of equal
rights BY the Legislatures having jurisdiction of
the subject When the doctrines indicated in
these extracts become the doctrines of the Re-
publican party, they may count me out.
The Tribune lauds Gov. Seward as being the
best exponent of what it is pleased to call 1.-THE
truths here barely glanced at" ] trust this is
doing injustice to Gov. Seward. He may be
in favor Of a protective policy-his financial
schemes might be on more liberal scale than
would suit many Republicans-but that he
would relv upon protective policy as means
of undermining or overthrowing Slavery, | am
reluctant to believe. Was not the editor Of the
Albany Eceniag Journal somewhat hasty when
he +" heartily concurred in the Tribune's COM
mendations Of Gov. Seward?" RADICAL.

To the Editor Of he National Era:
The Legislature of this State last weel, elect
ed Rev. George b. Cheever, D. D., Regent OF
the University, by vote of lO3 to So. Some
importance is attached to this act, on account
of the bold position DIR. Cheever has taken IT..
Gently against Slavery, scarcely less radical
than that of Garrison and Phillips.
The Assembly has passed an amendment ID
the Constitution, abolishing the property quail.

So, nays Il. 1t will pass the Senate, probably.
before this letter appears in the Era.
The Assembly has also, by a vote of three To
one, ordered the personal liberty bill to a third
reading. This bill is more stringent than
either that has been enacted in Vermont or
Michigan. 1t has been ably supported on the
floor of the House, and by the Republican pa.
pers throughout the State. 1t is regarded as
a necessary measure to vindicate the doctrine
Of State Rights, as well as to interpose a bar.

10 the Editor of the National Era
On the first Of September, 1853, | was per
suaded to try your paper, and see if | would not

paper, to commence with that date and 10 con-
tinue for six months. You commenced send.
ing them with the issue Of August -, lsjs "a
est, you sent two numbers that was before the
time | ordered you to commence.
When | subscribed for your paper, ! thought.
If it suited me, would be steady subscriber
OF your paper; but, having tried it for that short
period, would say to you that | am perfectly
disguised with it, and cordially detest your
paper.
According to my almanac, my subscription
ended about the middle of February last but
you keep sending them as though was a rcgu.
lar subscriber. The chains Of the fugitive ere
drawn tighter to-day than they would have been,
if the Aboltionists had not set up their deyilish
howl about " niggers.'
The Richmond Enquirer, Charleston Hscg-
~, New Orleans Delta Detroit Free Press or
some other conservative Pro-Slavery organ, does
more towards the overthrow of the Slave Power
than ALL the Abolition journals like the Nation

For the following reasons | dislike your

After all, let it not be forgotten that it is the
Republican movement that has done more than
anything else to cause reaction in the South.
Its supporters would commit most egregious
blunder, could they be deluded by these indi-
cations of moderation in the Slave States. Let
them persist until they have obtained the con-

see still more marvellous changes.

This book purports to be a genuine auti-

thor describes the different scenes of his life
with graphic pen, and, with a comfortable
degree Of selfcomplacency, relates his various
bouts with the hard-h hearted world, and his final
triumph over all ills and enemies. He begins
life as shoemaker's apprentice, and, after va
rious ups and DOWNS" now at the foot of the
ladder, now some little distance up, at the end
of forty years wear and tear finds himself in IA
comfortable position, where he can crafty his
stomach and his leisure, and is able to look
back and moralize on his past life. And the
moral he draws from it, useful and applicable
to all, is this that one who begins life by being
strapped by a cruel shoemaker, may, through
earnest and constant endeavors, rise to billiard
rooms, beer, and Independence to nothing
higher
The volume, apart from the interest of the
narrative is useful as giving truthful picture
of the lower walks of English life.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS IN RHODE
ISLAND

1t is gratifying to see the efforts lately made,
by eminent Republicans from other States, in
aid of the Republican nomination in the east
ern district. Several meetings we're held late
ly, which were addressed by Joshua R. Gid
dings, Arson Burlingame, and Dom Piatt, of
Ohio. Our friend, Mr. Piatt, who is not so
well known to Eastern people as the two Rep
resentatives named, spoke with great effect
Even the American Republican organ, the
Precedence Journal, is complimentary 1t
says:
REPUBLICAN MEETING.-The Republicans
were addressed in Railroad Hall last evening
by the Hon. Joshua r. Giddings, Hon. Thomas
Davis, and Hon. Dom Piatt The reputation
of the speakers attracted full audience Mr.
Giddings discussed the Slavery question with
his own peculiar views. The remarks of Mr.
Davis we're substantially those which he has
before delivered. Judge Piatt is an orator of
unusual power, and expresses his views with
force, and enlivened with wit and humor"
The Providence Tribune saws:
When the President introduced the veneer
able Senator from Ohio-he who has battled
for Freedom as few Northern men have--he who
has fought against the slave power until his
hairs are frosted with the fght-there was such
elapping of hands, such wild demonstration
| of enthusiasm, as is rarely received by the
stanchest advocate of Freedom in the North.
The speech of Hon. Thomas Davis was
brief and pointed. II was recapitulation of
his views upon the Slavery question and of
his position on the subject of protective tariff
He uttered truth, viz: that all Northern men
will necessarily act in Congress upon the tariff
in unison.
4" The Hon, Dom Piatt, of Cincinnati, occu-
ped nearly the same ground as his predeces-
sors. de urged upon the voters to throw aside
by-gones, and be united upon the man who had
once been tried, and who proved himself faith.
full to the trust reposed in him. The speech OF
Judge Piatt was enlivened by numerous anec.
dotes, which added much to the interest of his
remarks"
The Tribune adds,
"His speeches are characterized by an ad
mirabe blending of fact, wit, and argument"
We are glad to see our friend turning his
fine talents to so admirable an account.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-The North British Re
Uieu, in an elaborate article on Slavery and the
Slave States falls into an error quite too serious
to pass unnoticed. 1t says
"One popularity of the American laws is
not to be overlooked as it forms the character
istic feature of the American system The
slaves are not entitled, by law, to holiday,
period of rest, nor epen to Sabbath This
peculiarly is one of the greatest hardshps that
possibly could be imposed on the afflicted race,
one of the greatest obstacles to the slaves i'm
provement, and an effectual barrier to self.
emancipation"
Now, the truth is that the slaves are entitled,
by law" to weekly Sabbath ia eoe,y slaue
State an the UIaion with a single exception,
louisiana Masters are prohibited by law
from employing their slaves in seryile labor on
Sunday.-New York Times.
If the editor of the Times will instruct his
Washington correspondent to pay visit to the
county of Prince Georges, Maryland, which
surrounds the city, any moist Sunday in May,
he will see hundreds of negroes planting tobac-
co with all their might The same spectacle
may be witnessed in any of the Southern States
where tobacco is produced; and, indeed, the
Sunday is disregarded as general rule in the
South, whenever the exigencies of the planter
and his crop may seem to demand it. This
may be excusable on the score of necessity !;
but we wish the Times distinctly to understand
that the Sunday labor is compulsory, and as
general rule unpaid. In the domestic service,
of which there is superabundance In the
South, the slaves are universally employed
