In reference to the mooted question; as to
the relative morality of sections North .and
South, we extract the r follcjwing facts from a
speech of Mrv Thomas L. A nderson, delivered
at Palmyra, Missouri, on the 24th of. Decera
ber, 1853 :.... : :';-: ' , :
What moral evils prevail1 among lis of the
South, as; a cousequerice -of the existence f
Is there less intellectuality yirtue, religlori, or
morality ambng iisthaa .tnepeopl .pf4he
non slavlolding. State&iPes, Are we less
charitable, kind, benevdleurfor cBmpasidndte, j
just,"triendly,; and patriotic than they? ' la
there a greater amount. o crime debauchery,
prostitution, and avarice, -in " the slaveholding
States than in the, notf shareholding. States?
History demonstrates that inearly all the sys
tems of speculative .theology, clap-trap phi
losotphy and infidelity, havej originated -in the
northern States, T have, been at somq pains
to procure from official and authentic sources
a few statements somewhat illustrative of these
questions, and respectfully submit the follow
