DEFENCE or SLAVERY BY THE LoNpox Tens OK
ScRIPIURAL GRouNDs-We publish this morning
the article from the London Times in defence Of
slavery, which has excited so much indignation
amongst the English abolition jouraala. IT, IN
terest just at the present time lies less in its
arguments, which have but little novelty at this
side, than in the complete change of opinion
which it shows on the part of the ruling classes
In England on the religious aspects Of the ques-
ton. II is not many years since this their lead
ing organ lent its powerful aid to the work of
emancipation in the West Indies on the ground
of the sinfulness and unlawfulness Of the insti-
tuition, whilst to the labors Of the abolitionists
ia this country it has, until the breaking out or
the rebellion ever rendered ready and zeal
GUS support Now it makes the important but
rather tardy discovery chat not only is there
nothing in slavery inconsistent with Scriptural
teachings, but that, on the contrary, there is
much in the sacred writings to uphold and jas
tify it.
This conversion of our London contemporary
to the views entertained by the conservative
and really religious portion of our people is,
we are willing to believe, sincere. 1t no doubt
sees the error of its ways, and would not be
sorry to find England benefiting by the follies to
which she has pushed us by her insidous teach.
ings. The prospect Of her dapidated West In
dian colonies being raised to their former pitch
Of prosperity by the depletion Of the South Of
largo portion Of its slave population would in
itself be sufficient to account for this remarka-
BILE change in its views. The conduct Of our
government in trying to rid itself by colonial
ton of the large number Of slaves thrown on
its hands by its present suicidal policy has no
doubt assisted the process. The Times would
be glad to see England benefting by the
wealth of industry that we seem so desr-
GUS to throw away, and all old prejudices
would be flung aside if it could help to realize
that object. Such, we take it. is the secret of the
religious light which has thus suddenly broken
in on the mind of our London contemporary on
this question. Tho conversion is 80 remarkable
that it should have the effect of opening the
eyes of the fanatics amongst our own people to
the criminal absurdties of which they have
been guilty in regard to it.

OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.-The ways Of diplo-
macy are strange, so much so that it has be-
come ON admitted fact that statesmen may tell
untruths whenever they see at. We distinctly
remember that at the date we heard Of Napo-
Icons proposal to Russia and England for q
joint mediation or Intervention In our
affairs, the government at Washington issued
assurances that nothing was further from the
mind Of the French Emperor than any interfe-
renee with US, and that our relations with his
Court were most friendly. As downright con-
tradiction of these pleasing announcements
were the kilograms, published the same day,
giving the resume of Napoleon's proposal to the
Courts above mentioned. The inference clearly
was that our government either had been de-
ceived most egregiously or that they were
attempting to deceive us.
like assurances Of good will on the part Of Ma
poleon were issued from Washington in the same
journals containing the kilograms from Halifax
announcing that the Emperor of the French in
tends once more proposing mediation. We
would suggest to the authorities at Washington
that they should not take for granted all the
promises of those foreign Powers which have
given unmistakable proofs Of III will towards
the Union, and we therefore strongly urge the
putting Of our harbor and coast defences upon
such q footing as will render Napoleon's
promises the more likely to be kept. Let US
be prepared for oil emergencies; let US have
our harbors and coasts invulnerable, and then
we may place implicit reliance upon the AMIGA
BILE assurances Of the European Powers Until
then those friendly assertions are worth but
little, as none should better appreciate than
our authorities.

Democracy on tho War.
The New York Wrld, Acknowledged to
be the lcading organ OF the Democratic
party Of the country, in an article publish.
ed about week since, announced this
significant sentiment. in an article under
the caption "Thc position Of the Demo-
cratic party mo matter whether the
war is just or unjust, while tho enemy
docs not choose to make peace wo have no
'choice but to continue the war; and any
"war which is not prosecuted with spirit

We see nothing in this extract which
should create surprise in the minds of 80
many Of our cotemporar,es. A number
Of politicians in the Democratic party have,
it is true, held dalliancc with Peace,
based upon separation; but tho sturdy
rank and file of the party have stood
squarcly and honestly up to tic work Of
suppressing the vile ENTHUSIASTICALLY
criticising the plan or policy Of the admin.
istration, yet never for moment harboring
a thought Of Withdrawing from the govern.

agree in their particular, that VIC have no
right 10 abandon the attempt to suppress
