TALK WITH A CUB

We are in receipt Of the following: |
EDITORS TRBuNE:-I read your leading article !
In this mornings paper entitled q The Root Of |
the Evil; - and though agree with every word
there written, I submit that prudence requires |
thzt the seztimeAts therein expressed should not
be prsclaimed. Ne are cooperating with mem
bere Of the late Democratic party who are not in
aoctr1mated the true faith and ut this crisis we
should avoid whatever may prove to them q cause
Of offence. Is not my vieW Of the case reason-
ab1ef j.
We answer-Noi The trouble by which
the country is beset, the dangers which
threaten it are due to the want Of fidelity
on the part of the people Of the North in
not calling things by their right names.
We have been SO corrupted and debauched
By this crime of Human Slavery, that a new
! vocabulary is needed to express the cur
rent political ideas. Nothing serves bad
purpose so well as to call it by mild and
inofensive name; hence when the buying
and selling Of men is named 3 " domestic
Institution" it loses half its horror. Work
ing black men and parti-colored men q
lite time without pay, selling their chill
dren, whipping their wives with a lash,
when called Il Cbristianization Of the Afri'
can race" are practices which impel mis-
siouary effort rather than excite shame
The violence and b1oodshed which SlaV
cry provokes, and the imperious and die
,, tatorial spirit which it engenders, wher
,, dubbed "chivalry," become excusasle
,, not worthy Of iaaitaton. Amendments
:. the Federal Constitution by the supren
- Court, to the end that man~whipping ma.
be extended to Territories now free, whe]
~ known as Asserting the doctrine Of Stat
Rights" is an attractive, some say patr
otic, thing. And 50 on Through the whol
n catalogue Of offences against God and ma
f. which Human Slavery in7olves-name
re are omnipotent. Does our correspondent
j. suppose that if robbery had been invarit
e bly, called robbery; if murder had bee
y branded as murder, and treason as th
re highest Of crimes, the Northern peopl
at who are after all mainly to be blame
at for the status that Slavery occupies in tt
ne body polite, could have been seduct
by into becoming its instruments-the abe
ut tors Of despotism, the partners Of anareh.
ge No; let Us not fall into the error from viii
'ry We have been just emancipated. At les
ace let US be honest in the use OF language
il let events shape themselves as they will
