According to the testimony OF those

rule more deSirable place Of residence
than the towns and cities, and plante-

be true. Unless Towel and bis brother

F'ro-SluVorY Logic

If Slavery be " the moral and lcgiti-
mate condition of the negro" and if it
be necessity that where the white and
black race come together one or the other
must be enslaved for the good of both,
as the pro-slavery men affirm, 1t follows
inevitably that every free negro should
instantly be sold into slavery. No negro
has any legal or moral right to his free
dom. All laws against kidnapping free
negroes and selling them into slavery
which exist in the slave as well Us the
free States, are wrong and should be re-
pealed; and he who seizes free negro,
no matter how he obtained his freedom,
and forces him to labor, is acting right,
both in legal and a moral point of
view. 1t follows, also, from the pro-
slavery premises laid down. that il
would be agreat outrage for a master to
set free a slave even though the slave had
saved his life, or that of his child Sup
pose slave rescues his drowning mis-
trcss from the waves, or snatchies
child from burning house, it would be
wrong to reward him with his liberty.
Masters have often done such deeds Of
criminal folly, but it is plain that they
cannot be too severely reprohended for
thus grossly violating the laws of nature.
Ii we intend TO perpctuatc slavery let
us, by all means be consistent, aud sell
All the free negroes into slavery. There
are over half million of free negroes in
United States. Only think of 500, 600
men and women, worth at least $1,000
600, running at large "out Of their
normal condition" Why it is q viola
tion.of philosophy and scripture. Bring
them to negro pen, Immediately, and

rho Low " mississippi Trade.


An impudent scheme is reported on
foot to throw the lower Mississippi trade,
during the period of military occupation
into the hands of monopoly. Several
prominent Western politicians of both
parties have been laboring TO this end
lately, claiming to represent capital, in
New York, and elsewhere, of five mil
lions. We understand that the project
has met with but small encouragement
thus far, but those interested in its sue
cess feel themselves justified in perse-
vering. Under the Presidents proclamA-
ton of the 3lst March last the iegu' alton
of this trade rests eXclussvtl, with the
Treasury Department.
