does not consider Niger equal to white man;
but that sworded and belted aud epauletted
soldier in the full flush OF conquest, should con-
slider such a confession Of faith necessary, IS
what we do not at oil understand, and 1t
rather than else dminishes our estimate
of the high dignity of human nature. IL
is extremely odd that Gen. Buffers newspaper
should bo found assuring the rcyolers that
&" the Niger is useful and necessary
ANIMAL" for if this gentleman Of the gum
be right, then we do not hesitate to say
that the Confederates are in the right also,
10 certain extent. A law which should
prohibit a Southern settler from carrying his
pg.. horses and cows into Kansas, would be
law against the execution Of which he would
have, prima faei,, q right to rebel. The very
existence Of this war proves that the blacks
are not merely animals, but men also; and,
whether We are pleased TO admit il or not the
simple fact il, that every battle which We fight,
is fought in vindication of the Negroes HUMANE
ty. II is too late in the day for Gen. Buffers
editors TO assume that black man IL beast
Moreover, the assertion that arguments in sup
port of Abolition are rhapsodlcsl baderdash'
is insulting TO the President of the United States;
aud should, therefore, az thus disrespectu 10 the
Commander-in-C Chief. have been suppressed by
the rigid military rule. II is an insult, moreover
10 many members of Congress, who are neither
- bali spectators" nor " hall madmen," nnd who
yet ibuk that the sooner we are rid ot Slavery,
the better. We have outgrown this boyish way Of
disposing of momeutous political question at the
North-it is hard to see why il should be so il-
riously rosorted 10 by the advocates 0f Union IN
New Orleans 1t can only bring them into con
tempt When this e1temporaueOu' editor OF me
the Delia swears that he believes Slavery TO BE-
just md expedient, he does not impose upon
single intelligent Southeruer. His slugeh0lding
readers know intutiyely that he il telling lies,
and esteem him accordingly. They know that he
does not believe the ens.aying OF human beings Ia
be- equitable or economical; and when he says that
he does, they are more than ever tempted to
brave the caaboose, and spit in his face. A toll
erubly high-mindcd Shareholder while he expects
that h- " niggers" will lie, preyaricate, lawn and
hattcr. does not expect that n white man VIII 10
PROSTATE and degrade himself; or that he viii do
for the sake of the Constitution, what the slave
does only for corn and bacon. Therefore, news
paper articles Ike that TO which we have alluded,
viii please nobody.
Ii We have spoken OF this 1ru, Data dlnbo-
Ism with wholesome severity, II must be re-
Inembered that We are condemning no policy,
good or bad, of our military commanders IN
relation TO Slavery, or 10 the release aud en-
largemcnt OF "contraband'." This question,
whether our implied sanction should be given
10 Slavery in the abstract, has nothing 10 do
with tie disposal OF those who are still en-
shaved There are those who think, aud no,
without some reason, that every Act Of Scce'-
zion was an Act Of Abolition but this IL al
opinion which we do not propose at present to
defend. These managers OF The Data GO be.
hind all considerations OF military .Hpedioncy,
or political necessity, to assure their readers
that SLAYER, is not merely something to be tol-
Grated for The good Of the body-polltic, but
that it is itself intrnsicaly excellent aud lovely
something which. If it did not exist, should, n n
matter OF selfdefense and ordinary prudence be
created. OF course, one who is capable Of AZ
arguing, should not hesitate to accept tie lasl re-
suits Of his theory, aud to streuuously yiudicate
the slaye.tradc because there eau be no reason
for hanging benevolent or enterprising man, for
1 4 lr.fu
Africa; and yet, BY the general consent of the
CT, ilized world, the marine plllauthIoplsts who
bring over assorted eargoes of these animals, "
ARE doomed 10 fcon's death When the great
powers of The world united, BY solemn treaty, to
suppress The slave-trade, il was done distinctly
upon the high moral ground that the blacks were
men, and not merely useful aud necessary hui-
mails" The opposite theory, exploded long ago,
in all Christian Congresses, and erased from all
Christian Conventions, has been revived IN New
Orleans by The organ Of victorious American
General himself IN arms against those who. for
the sake of bestializing large masses Of men.
have uniurled the black banner of revolt, and
plunged with maniac energy into a fratricidnl
war , Let US hope that the example viii Gnd few
follow ers-that we snail be spared the tantazing
spectacle of valor in the field and folly in the
Cabinet Let u. hope that the imbeciiity of our
logic may not nullify the achievements of our
cbiyaly forever!
