As men feel a deep interest in w hatc vcr relates to their political rights and tL-ii.poral prosperity, vehicles of worldly news hnve, in all civili/ceil countries, been sought with eagerness and sup- por^ed with liberality. But as the claims il'Jehovah, the interests »)f the Soul, and the soK'ninities of Kteriiity, fur .surpass in magnitude ail otlur tilings, it is rea sonable to expect that religioiis publications would rise up, gaining- jjatronage among men and exerting .'I beneiicial iiitliu iice in forming tluir characters.

The bare name of slavery, if not the tiling itself, is stiflicient to niak! the A- nierican jieople, who boast, with so mucli reason, of their libei'ty, anxious to .qet lid of it. Tiiat tlie condition of tliat class of our population which is subject to it, is not understood by the ])eoiile of the North, is a fact. All their cloleful Jen niiads, when uttered in relation to the treatment of our slaves, are misap plied, and, to those acciuainted with lh(‘ subject, perfectly ridiculous. Their in.* agin:itions seem alwavsfo associate with the term slave, the idea of task*master.s, and racks, and chains—ir\ fine, cruelly in all its shapes and forms.' But, in relation to Southern slaves, the fact is otherwise. With very few exceptions, tliey are nell clotlied and well fed, and after they liave ])eiformed a nuuierate day’s labour, (from which their masters are not ex empt,) are as free and unrestrained in I heir actions as any set of men whatever. Their condition is equally as good as that of the poorer class ol‘ whites ; and, nine times out of ten, we venture to as sert, they would not make an exchange. We observe it stated, too, in a late num ber of the (London) “I'.urojiean IVIai^a- ziiie,” in ati article contrasting the con ditions of the F.n^ilish labourer and A- meric&ii slave, that of the later is decid edly preferred. WMiat, then, isthemii^h- ty evil of w hich our nolhern phlhmthro- jjfsts complain } Why are their sym[)a- thies so often anti so i)owerfully excited on a subject which immcdiateiif aflects ibetTi not, and which, by its continuance, though it may add a mite to human in justice and national impolicy, adds no thing to the sum of human misery ? If the condition of this part of our popula tion is as good as that of the poorer cla.ss of whites, (and it is as often belter as w orse,) whv do they so ofliciously inter meddle ? Is it the mere name they abhor ? A rose, Iiy any other name, would smell as sweet.'’ W'e do not wish to be under stood as objecting to the removal of tbe cause of complaint, nor to be cotisidered as viewing the sul)ject with indifVerence. II' there be one portion of this Union more than another interested in w iping fiotn its character the foul stain w hicii the a\arice and cuj)idity of others have attaciied to it, it is that section in which slavery exists.
