Prof o. n Loomis Of Macon, Ga, has essay
in The Memphis APpeal, in which he demonstrate,
the intrinsic beauty of African Slavery ethnolog-
ieal and philanhropic institution We cannot with
hold specimen brick:
We have rights higher and more sacred than writ
ten Constitutions confer. The slave has rights
with which may not tanper, viii IN we must not
permit others to viOlaethe right 70 protection,
The right TO be saved from the inevitable calamtes
to which fanaticsm would doom him. Look at Slavery
in any light you will, contemplate II from every point
Of view possible whether within s present limits, or
sacredy enshrned to be touched by unhaowed hands.
The most binding compacts make with man,
the rights of the slave and the welfare of mankind, the
authority Of Revelation and the sanction of Natures
laws the cdCt Of the past and the royal sgnet OF u ID
are upon it, Who shall approach it, but 10 shield and
to save PrOcul, OH, prOcut este profan' In the
maintenance Of rights such as these let us occupy the
highest ground of argument of which the subject IL ca
pable. If we fail here, would say, IN the language
of one of Georga's bravest sons, Wien the argH-
ment is exhausted, re rW stand by our arms d! "
of course great difference of opinion prevails re-
epectDg Mr.. Summers recent speech. OF this differ
ence better illustration scarcely be formed thans
afforded by the subjoined extracts from The Boston
Trareller and Tie albany Atlas and Argus. The
first says:
% No nober specimen Of American eloquence can
be found than this logical, bold spirited, clear and
learned exposition of the barbarism of Slavery. Ia
it we have the views Of the chivarous antagonist of
wrong expressed in the pointed and elegant language
Of the accomplished scholar, and guided by the intel
lect of the sagacious and benevolent statesman. We
are the more pleased with the plain speaking of Mr..
Sumner, because there has. apparently, been falling
off in the language of some leading Republicans since
the beginning of the Presidential contest, if they
were fearful of offending the oligarchy Mr.. Sumner,
who has idea Of sacrificing the right TO the expe-
dent, has given utterance to the vital truths IN
language full of vital energy thoughts that breathe,
and words that burn
Here is The Atlas and Argus:
/" No can rise from perusa of this speech with
out a contempt for the author aud conviction OF his
unfitness for his place. If Mr.. Sumner were
religious man, he would be prosecutor. Instead he
has adopted vague philosophy of his creed, and he
procaims political crusade against brethren living
under common Constitution. Mr.. Sumner will 60 to
Europe for his reward. At this moment the aristoc-
racy and the ogarchies Of the Old World unite IN an
attempt TO decIy American institutions, and 10 expose
this country to the distrus of the people. The reason
is that draining their life-blood in emigration;
and gold, grains, and our cotton places us IN
position only Of independence but OF dlctatlon Mr.
Summers false testimony against will be welcome in
the Old World and when the Senate adourns he VIII
90 there reap his reward in the smiles and batteries
of noble lords and ladies' and the puery Of pensoned
press."
The editor of The Pittsburgh Journal gives the
following account Of the only time he ever saw Mr.. /
Lincoln:
"The only time we ever saw the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency at the Chicago arbor and
River Convention, on the 18th of july 1s47. The way
he was received then throws some light upon the ale
CATION that he is an entirely new and unknown man.
The appearance the stand, of notablities such a.
To Corwin, Judge Bates, &C., was generally marked
by applause on the part of the audience. Some half
dozen had been thus greeted, all of whom we knew by
heir anecedents, when the appearance OF one who,
ike King Saul, the head and shoulders above the
crowd called down an amount of applause second TO
no man who had appeared on the rostrum. The way
he was received evidently showed that his face was en-
irey familiar to the governing class on the Lake
Shore. We inquired of some delegates who this gen.
tleman was oh, said they, that s Abe Lincoln
of Springfield, the abest and wittest stump speaker
on the Wing side in the State of Illinois. Now, Chi
cago probably $50 miles north of Mr.. L. residence,
and this applause given spontaneously by those
who appeared to know him well. One of the bystand-
eTs even then declared that next to Tom Corwln, Ln-
coin the abes stump speaker he had ever listened
TO; that he combined extensive information, logical
ready w.t. entire command OF his temper and
quickness in taking advantage of any blunder bis
opponent would make, more fully than any public man
he had ever heard. This strong commentator from
good Judge led scru'inze closely than usual
his head and features. These are very marked and
peculiar in their expression; much 30, that at any
time since, if we were portrait painter, we could
have made tolerable likeness OF them from memory
alone. His nose, mouth and the entire expression OF
the lower part Of his face have general sembance TO
the features of Henry Clay. His eyes and fore
bead convey the idea of not less intellectual but diff
ferently organized mind. We cannot remember
exceeding half dozen countenances that have more
distinctly impressed themselves upon our memory than
that of Abraham Lincoln. The way his appearance
on the stand greeted by that Convention clearly
showed that he had qualities which appealed strongly
to the He had then never been in Congress, and
was mainly known from his stump speeches IN the
Clay campaign Of 1874 No man who had not strongly
marked traits Of character about him, and who had
never filled public stations of Importance, could have
called the cordial greeting that extended to
him.
In letter Of Gov. Corwins, written TO the Xenia,
Ohio, ratification meeting, he says of the Republican
1t affords TO us all the most sincere qualification 70
learn that the nominations made at Chicago are re-
ceved by the people everywhere with hearty approval
ans the lveliest enthusiasm. Having personal ae-
quaintance OF long standing with both candidates
feel assured confidence in their qualifications for
the high Offices TO which they are respectively assigned
Their integrity can be doubted by one, and of their
