He (the negro,) has strength, and is competent

MED TO him either the intellect to govern or
the willingness to work. That nature which
deprived him Of the will to labor gave him a
master to coerce that will, and made him

which he was capable of living, for himself
and for the master over him.
We may, too, refer to MIR. JAS. BROOKS elo.
quent remarks, touching the fact that the Sa-
viour was born amongst slaves, and in his
earthly career he must, from the high noun
tains he sometimes ascended, have looked upon
thousands and tens of thousands OF slaves
Ystee nowhere denounced slavery, or declared
1t criminal, or even unjust. Incidentally, we
may allude to the able yindication of the in
stitution by Messrs. CUSHING, and AUSTIN,
Collector Of Bost0n,) of Massachusetts,
And Mr.. BREWSTER, Of Philadelphia, declared
that from the time that Great Britain estab-
lished the institution in this country it became
q NHCBssITY-a social, commercial and poIiti-
cal necessity-and that it would be unjust to
the country, and an act Of cruel barbarism, to
set the slaves free and leave them to their ia tes
when they were not able to protect or govern
themselves. 1t is not In accordance with the
dimensions OF this article to 60 into the rea-
eoning Of these able orators. Rev. DR. LORD,
President Of Dartmouth College, New Hamp-
shire, In his letter to Mr. CONRAD. contends
that slavery always has existed and always
must exist; that it exists by GODS providen.
sial ordering Of SHEx, HAN and JAPHET, and
that wherever there is a place and work for
slaves, there they will be found till the day of
doom. DR.. LORD even predicts that, in con-
sequence Of the unconquerable repugnance of
Yankees to mental service, slaves in attributes
and possibly in name, will be in PRODUCED before

Mr.. HUNT said: "The recent invasion of
Virginia by baud OF conspirators, for the
AvvWsd purpose OF arming the slaves and or
gahizing serviie instruction, has excited
emotions Of adherence in every mind not ill.,
curably distempered by sec tional faraticism.

Mr.. HUNT, speaking of John Brown, re. |
marks that he was citizen OF New York and |
II 10 therefore peculiarly fitting that the PEG. |
pie OF New York should make their sen timent Is |
touching his crime distinctly UNDERSTOOD
they should not forget, he said, that New |
York AID Virginia had piighted their mutual |
lain IN the bonds Of Con moderation and union |
mat Ihey stood shoulder to shoulder in the |
war-that "WAsHINoroN, the |
nobiest SON Of Virginia, defended the soil Of |
New York In the darkest hour Of desponden-
~ from tho forces vi the Invader and the
OF DOMESTIC TREA-
6ON." He adds: "We might also well re-
member that Virginia, In spirit Of disint ter
ssted patriotism not surpassed on the brightest
pages VI history, gave to the Union that vast
aud imperial domain which now constitutes
the prosperous free States Of the North west.
And the Richest nursery Of the commerce and
Of New York. (Applause) Cher
