Newspaper Controversies.

We observe with some surprise, that two OF
our Virginia contemporaries have lately had q
correspondence in the nature of an "affair Of
honor" Mutual explanations were given, how
ever, and, as we would have anticipated from
our knowledge of the two gentlemen, the diff
Guilty was amicably adjusted. The well-known
character OF these gentlemen caused the surprise
which we have expressed, as we are satisfied
that neither would wantonly insult or wound
the other, but at the same time We were rather
prepared for an angry collision. Week after
week we have seen them engaged in political
controversy, each trying his powers of sarcasm
and irony as well as argument, and an unpleas-
ant termination was constantly becoming more
probable Our observation and experience du
ring more than eleven years, teach Us that such
q result is almost unavoidable, and that the true
policy of all editors who desire to promote the
responsibility and usefulness OF the newspaper
press is to abstain rs far as possible from contro
versies OF the kind. Every editor can maintain
his own cause without strife with his neighbors
and we feel sure that this Course is most agreea,
Bile to all readers of intelligence and good taste
There is class of readers who relish newspaper
controversy for the excitement which it affords
and the more personal and virulent it becomes
the more they like it; but they would take the
same delight in cock fight, and no man oil
proper sef-respect will deliberately enter the pit
to afford entertainment to such people,

LECTURES ON Slavery.

We are indebted TO Mr.. Mccormick, of Chi

on slavery by the Rev. Dr.. Rice, Of that city
All of the positions taken by DR.. r. will not be
assented to generally il the South, but if the
whole North took the same ground there would
be no quarrel between the two sections of the
coontry, He states that the great American di-
vine as, lnetaphy stefan, Jonathan Edwards, a
New Eaglander by birth and residence lived
and disd q STAKEHOLDER, and after his death his
negro man, ill.,, was appraised at $50. The
" est ,aiI.ster Review stated recently that the
celetr. ed George Whitfield was also slave
holder, being at his death the owner of fifty
slaves in the s ite of Georgia. These facts
prove, as DR.. Chalmers, quoted by DR.. Rioe,
says, dat the leading principle of Abolitionism,
