Toward the conclusion of the volume, Mr..
Reynolds gives description Of the conse-
quences of the slave system, especially in rela-
ton to the existing rebellion, which challenges
the consideration Of every thoughtful, unpreju-
diced reader.
The development Of the saveholdiDg despO'ism

rented TO tolerate its growth. The effects OF the
system have been 30 psipably ret,tLutce, NJ to

terrific effects O tie system appear, not IN its results
to the Negro but in its results 10 the white man.
Slavery may not be ali etoons DJury TO every mol

injury TO every individual naster-tO every free

Republic. Forty years ago, actuated by commercial
telfulpess and 10y our snlipahes TO tie African
race, We supposed that the perpetuity OF Slavery
would dsu age nobody but the he'll less negro. But
