The Nep- York Times:
We are informed BY gentleman from region I'm tina sor

the extent of constantly feeding with the pay-sur

a distinctive creed and every sentiment which
Christian men, North and South, have entertained
toward the negro. 1t is only another illustration Of
the saying that the descent 10 hell is very easy when
once we get upon the road
According to the philosophy Of The Times the me-
groes have no resource but the plantation, and no
friends but the masters by whom they were brought

necessary to the well-being of the negro-that
he cannot escape from its associations, and its

remains but to keep him as nearly in that condition
as we can and at the same time to censure those
fanatical but perhaps misguided men who hcaped
upon him the misery of Emancipation.
Notwithstanding ALL there is butone race which can

principle of hereditary domnatiOn' Perhaps it is
wrong to speak of such things in republic; but
when journalists are in the easy descent they are not
over-scrupulous about opinions. We call Slavery
a crime; the civilized world .denounces the slave
trade as piracy. The easy-descending Times in
