MASTER AND SLAVE.
TIE topic of "Equsl Rights aud Exclusive Prop
srty" is that which next suers st the hand of The
De Bow reviewers. As il the case with most of the
articles, tbs is too rambling aud feeble TO convey
direct or forcbIe meaning the mind Of the reader
Az well as a careful study viii permit Us TO Judge,
however the Argument is expressed in this piece Of
senteatious bosh:
Equal rights and exclusive property are oppos.
ing terms, aud are wholly rreconcilable.
Whoever, therefore, advocates the principle Of
equal right TO ENJOY ard to hold toe Possessions Of
hie--tbe objects OF pIoperty-tbereby denies that
men have equal right'.
"Whoever favois the doctrine Of exclusive prop
erty, unequivocal!y, by such su advocacy, denes
that men in social life have equal rghte.
Incidentally, the writer prescbes to the owners Of
slaves, and this the only point of interest in tie
paper;
"a slave in the collation. Of Slavery, ha, rights in
serin csses, and III respect 10 certain objects OF de-
sire, that ARE superior TO those OF The master. he
has rights husband and rs q father which tie
master does not have. Hence, then rights un-

gard their rights are unequal and yet the safety aud
happiness Of this social relation IN lie Is alone at

these inequalities OF rgts.
In tie Slavery relation, the slave has the right
Of life. He has aiso certain marital rghts sisve.
These rights tend 20 the welfare and security OF the
state of Slavery and hence every master ia duty
