for The Hon. Ben Wood. He says that by this
treacherous Albany platform "our gallant
brothers in the cause in Ohio, Pennsylvania

BRAZIL Nor THE PLACE.-It hos been reported
that, in consequence of the abolition of slavery,
considerable numbers of recent shareholders
in our Southern States contemplate removal
to Brazil, where the African race are still kept
under the restraints of the peculiar institu-
tion." But to all parties who entertain this
idea of FINDING the slavery OF South Carolina
down under the equator the testimony of q
writer in the Mobile Advertiser on the subject
will be found worth considering. This writer,
from residence in Brazil of many years, says
that, though African slavery is recognized
there, it exists in a very ''nild form;' that the
laws regulating II care humane" and that "frec
negroes, OF whom there are many, are polit-
cally upon an equality with the whites, and
many Of them socially" The Southern man,
therefore, who goes now from Virginia, Geor-
gia or any other Of our late slaveholding
States TO Brazil in search Of his lost institution
of slavery will go "out Of the frying pan into
the fire." Brazil is no place for him. II will
be best for him to remain where he is, and ac-

experiment just as he finds them. Having eaten
