Sin OF Slavery.

The following short extract from the very
able speech delivered by the Hon. R. NJ T..
Hunter, in the United States Senate, COM
prises, in nut she'll, the complete refutation
Of one of the biblical arguments used by the
Abolitionists against slavery! It will be
remembered that old John Brown quoted
this text as an excuse for his villainies
Il ask then, sir. by what authority it is
that an institution which all Governments
have found necessary, and which has been
common to nearly all the nations of the world
is now pronounced sin and crime Is
the voice of experience to 60 for nothing I
Are its teachings without value?
But we are told that slavery is contrary
to the abstract principles of right, and the
maxim of do as you would be done by
Mr.. President, acknowledge the truth of
this maxim, and properly interpreted, it
vindicates by its wisdom its divine origin !;
but when misapplied and misrepresented, it
may be made the means of infinite mischief
If | were to do as | would be done by in his
case, I would probably set free the murder
err from the Jail wherein he was confined !;
but if [ wouli do as | would be done by to
the thousands of innocent people on whom
be would thus be turned loose, [ would not
aid his escape If were to do as would
be done by in this case, would, perhaps
emancipate the slave; but if | were to do as
I would be done by to the millions of whites
and blacks who are interested in maintain
ing that relation, l would do nothing to dis
turh It.

We call attention to the advertisement Of

and improved instrument, the invention Of
his father, by which, the labor required in

The North does not fight duels - for duel

the papers of the State, comments and com
plants about the amount Of the bill pre-
sented to the Legislature for defraying the
expenses of Mr.. Memminger, the Commits
sioner from South Carolina, while in the city
Of Richmond. Proud old Virginia will
have fallen very low when she complains Of
the expenses devolved upon her in the enter

We think the same delicacy which fo-b:ss
a gentleman FROM mentioning the expense

mount Of the bill of her invited guest, were
it ten times as great as it is.
