Pnllauelpna Wltn heN. ADRIAN IRlNE, on tie
question Ought American Slavery to be Per
BRowNLow taking the affirmative.
We give below some extracts from his speeches
On that occasion, from the book published jointly
by the two debaters after the controversy:
SLAVERY A BLESSING.
The continuation of slavery is absolutely ne
cessary to prevent the civilized negroes of the
South from relapsing into their old savage state,
in which the Shareholders found them.
assert that American slavery is blessing-a
blessing to the master, a blessing to the white
Shareholder of the South, blessing to the civil
lied white race in general, and blessing to the
negro slaves in particular.
THE PARsoN sNEERs AT BLUE BELLIED YANKEES
But we must sleep at the South with pistols
under our pillows. Yes, this is the spirit and
this is the purpose of that class of Abolitonists
of which this gentleman has assumed TO be the
leader. If none but blue bel
lied Yankees and unmitigated Northen Adolf
tiORists come down upon us, we shall sleep with
nothing more terrific under our pillows than spike
gimletsl If, however, at anv time, an army of
AbolitOnists from the North shall conclude to
make descent on the South, and this gentleman
accompanies the army, will thank YOU to let
me know what regiment he is in. And when
"Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of
WARP
THE SOUTH RICHER THAN THE NORTH.
The census testifes that Massachusetts,, which
is the richest non slaveholding State, could d.
vide with each of her citizens S549. Rhode ISL
and which is the next richest State, could divide
with each of her citizens $500; one other non
slaveholding State-Connectcut-co divide
with her citizens 1921 After this, the free
States fall down to 1921 then to 1928, and down
to Sl60 and Sl35. On the other hand including
whites and colored, South Carolina could divide
81 ,0Ol; Louisiana $500; Mississippi S702, and
Georgia S63S, with her citizens. Alabama could
divide SSH Maryland S42S, Virginia S4O3;
Kentucky 1916; North Carolina 1851; and Ten
nessee could divide S24S with each of her citizens
In division of al! tbs property accumulated by
all the nOn-slayeholding States, it will give to
each citizen 1898; while all accumulated by the
various slave States will give to e.ch citizen
S439-nearly doublel 1t is not possible, with
these facts before us to believe that slavery tends
to poverty.
MORE MULATToES NORTH THAN SOUTH.
/ call your attention to the Compendium of
the United States Census" chapter five, table
seventyon There you will find that there are
more free muattoes than there are free blacks in
the free States. In Ohio there are seven mulat-
toe children for one in Virginia. according to the
negro population; and in Indiana and Illinois
there are five for one in Tennessee and Georgia!
As the white people of the North do not marry
blacks, these muattoes must have been born out
of wedlock. While, then. there are more mulat-
toes in the free States than blacks, in the South
on the contrary, there is only one mulatto to
twelve blacks.
SLAVERY THE CORNERSTONE.
| ndOrse, without reserve. that much abused
sentiment of an eminent Southern statesman,
now no more, Governor Duffie, that slavery is
the corner stone of our republican edifice;" while
| repudate, as ridiculously absurd, that much
lauded but nowhere accredited dogma of Thomas
Jefferson, that "all men are born equal" God
never intended to make The negro the equal OF
the white man, either morally, mentally or phys
ically.

WHEN SLAVERY WILL BE ABOLISHED IN THE SOUTH

it was time that slavery was abolished in thu
South, and, by innuendo, intimated that it woulC
be done; and, as he avowed his determination t
