Mr. Carlyle speaks with gOod-humored pity of the
weakness of lie hero, who positively would have
been for consulting the negroes themselves as to

II would be idle TO dispute the political correct
ness of Mr.. Carlyles illustration. Ii would be a
waste Of time to show that not Peter OF the North,

did. We are not inclined moreover, TO labor too
hard for the purpose Of demonstrating how Mr Car

be that Peter OF the North went to war right away
TO prevent Paul from perpetuating and extending
Slavery; let Us lguore, If hr. Carlyle chooses tile
