of Scribes and Pharisees. Such examples may
give encouragement to Senator who undertakes
in this presence to expose slavery; nor can any
language, directly responsive to the assumptions
now made for this Barbarism, be open to ques.
ton. Slavery can only be painted in the sternest
colors; but l cannot forget that natures sternest
painter has been called the best.
The BARBARIsN OF SLAvIRY appears; first in
the the character Of Slavery, and secondly in the
character Of Stare masters. Under the first
head We shall naturally consider (l) the Law of
Slavery and its Origin, and (2) the practical re-
suits Of slavery as shown in comparison between
the Free States and the Slave States. Under
the second head We shall naturally consider (l)
slave.masters as shown in the law Of slavery; (2)
slave-masters in their relations with slaves, here
glancing at their brutal instruments; and (s)
slave-masters in their relations with each other,
with society, and with government; and az
slave-masters in their Inconsistencies.
The way will then be prepared for the consij.
GRAFTON of the assumption of constitutional law.
l. In presenting the CHAkAcrxR OF SLAvrRY,
there is little for me to do, except to allow slave
~ to paint itself. When this is done, the picture
will need no explanatory words.
a. begin with the Ldr Of Harery and IT.
Origin, and here this Barbarism paints itself IN
its own chosen definition. Itis simply this: Man,
created in the image Of God, is divested of bis
human character, and declared to be "chattel'
that is. beast, thing or article of property
That this statement NAV not seem no, to be on,
forward without precise authority, quote the
statutes Of three different States, beginning viii
South Carolina, whose voice for slavery away

earnings which the lsw of nature allows, and

And even its meanness is lost in the absurdity
OF its associate prerension that the African, thus
despoiled OF all his earnings, is saved from pow

for his master, and not for himself. Alas by
such a faacy, isa whole race pauperized! And
yet this transaction is not without illustrative ex-

do not dwell on this exhibition. Sir, is not Sla-
very barbarous?
Fourth!y. Slavery paints itself again in elo-
sing the gates of krorledgs which are also the
shining gates Of civilization. Under its plain
unequivocal law, the bondman may, a. the unre-
strained will of his master, be shut out from all
instruction, while in many places, incredible to
relate! the law itself, by cumulative provisions,
positively forbids that he shall be taught
to read. Of course, the slave cannot be
allowed to read, for his soul would then expand
in larger air, while he saw the glory of the
North Star, and also the helping truth, that God,
who made iron, never made a slave; for he
would then become familiar with the Scriptures,
with the Decalogue still speaking in the thunders
OF Sinai; with that ancient text, He that
eseaieth man and selleth him, or If he be
found in his hands, he shall surely be put to
death :" with that other text, Masters, give
unto your servants that which is Just and
equal; with that great story of redemption,
when the Lord raised the slave born Moses to
deliver his chosen people from the house Of
bondage; and with that sublimer story, where
the Saviour died q cruel death, that all men,
without distinction of race, might be saved
leaving to mankind commandments, which, even
without his example, make Slavery impossible
Thus, in order to fasten your manacles upon the
slave, You fasten other manacles upon his soul
Sir, y not Slavery barbarous:

the slave owner" - "best for the happiness of
both races" and, in enthusiastic advocacy, de.
clares, that the very keystone of the mighty
arch, which by its concentrated strength is able
to sustain our social superstructure, consists in
the black marble block Of African Slavery.
Knock that out" he says, "and the mighty fab.
ric, with all that it upholds, topples aud tumbles
to its fall" These were his very words, uttered
in debate here. And his colleague, Mr. Mason,
who has never hesitated where slavery was in
question, has proclaimed that it is " eano6Iing
to both master and slave"-a word which, so
far as the slave was concerned, he changed, on a
subsequent day, to "elevating," assuming still
that it is ennobling" the mastsr-which is
simply new version of an old assumption, by
Mr.. McDufie, Of South Carolina, that Z" Slavery
supercedes the necessity Of an order Of nobility"
Thus, by various voices, is the claim made for
Slavery, which is put forward defantly as a
form of civiization-as if its existence were not
plainly inconsistent with the first principles OF
anything that can be called Civilization-except
BY that figure of speech in classical literature,
where q thing takes its name from something
which it has not as the dreadful Fates were
called merciful because they were without mer-
cy. And pardon the illusion, if add, that, lis.
tening to these sounding words for Slavery, am
reminded of the kindred eItravagarce related BY
that remarkable traveller in China, the late
Able Hue, of q gloomy hole in which he wa.
lodged, psstsred by mosquitoes and enhaline
