In fact, I wanted to set virtuous indignation, simply because I refused to down the principle, as nakedly as possible, t hat it New testament is not, masters discharge your slaves, hut be merciful to your slaves slaves be ob'dient to your masters. But I said something of slaves beinrr lashed. Its, the very idea of a slave includes the idea of a coercion, but does not at all include the idea of cruelty ; and when 1 wish lor a plantation of negroes, your reverence and the Tribune, with great candor, proclaim that I want slaves in order to have the luxury of flogging them.

Alas, for the aspirations of the oppressed and exil. d, if their incitement to struggle for liberty is the horrible desire of buy ing, selling, and lashing each other." I coness thai I can make no sense out of such language Benevolence is good, but a little iogic also would be no harm. Let us see how it would apply to another case. Genera! Washington, the Father of his Country, saw no crime and no ncccadilio in holding slaves, and in making them work on his farm. Genera Washington wished lo possess, a nd did possess till he -3 as " " ivV'l -Vt." is not wrong io hold a slave. From the principle it follows that it is not wrong to mrike a slave work ; and there is no way ol making them work (in the last resort) but dread of the lash. This is an ungracious task I find myself forced lo undertake. On my side, in this controversy, everything sounds harsh and looks repulsive. Your reverence has chosen, if not the better, at least the balmier part. Youis is the privilege, dear to the enlightened modern heart, ol uttering kind-looking sentences. It comes easy to vou (lor all the prevailing cants are w ith yon) to as- of liberly itself, I believe it is a thing little under- e . .- . .... i ' j .

I hen that thief stiaii die." (L)eui. xxiv. 7.) VVhich seems to me to prove that there were regular slave markets in Israel ; otherwise the kidnapper could not " make merchandise " ol his stolen brethren, and could have no temptation lo steal him for sale. And, la.itly, in providing for the moderate punishment of slaves with rods, the law declares ihat, even if ihe s'ave die of his healing after a day or two, yet his master shnll net be punished; for, saith the text. he is his money." The learned commentator 1 cited he lore remarks on this passage ; " In any nation where slavny is established, a master must havea right to chastise his slave. If they are obstinate, and provoke him into n passion, his blows may prove fatal, contrary to hu inclination ; hut a pre determination to kill a slave will not be imputed to him," for he is money. Now, if a man's slave was his inheritance, and his children's inheritance, and his money, nnd if in the whole Mosaic law there is to be found but one enactment oaist selling that is, forbidding a man to sell his wife if she was also his slave forbidding it not bemuse she was his slave, but because she was his wi.'e then clearly we are en tilled to assume that slaves were u marlo lublo commodity among the Jews, ss they were among all other nations of antiquity. I hope, therefore, you Will tell your hearers at your next lecture that you have been misrepre senting Mo s all this lime ; nnd thai, in fad, tho Mosaic law Imposed no restrictions upon slavery at all, except m the case of Israelilish slaves a ciasi of restrictions which are happily unneces sary, as no American ci izen enn sell himself into slavery, or become a slave evon for debt, as a Hebrew citizen might.

I Thomas Jefferson, tho greatest of the founders of American democracy, lived and died a slaveholder, and bequeathed his slaves to his relatives. There fore "there could be no principle in their afruirgle with England;" the effort ought tu have been fruitless, and the hopes of its champions a mocke. ry; for "their incitement " (J.-fferson's and Wash inglon's incitement) " lo struggle for liberty was Ihe horrible desire of buying, selling, nnd lashing each other." If our " reverence "would boldly speak your mind, you would tell your hearers in Ihe Tabernacle that Washington w'as a caitiff, and Jefferson a thistle or a hideous hap. I know what vou will s-.-.v ik.i iUu. ttl.,.,.;,.,. benevolence, and philanthropy, and enlighten ment, and 'progress," and all the rest of it. V bile I, to escape the charge of barbarous cruelty and blood-thirsty atrocity, am forced to shield my seil under the authority of mere ancients ; per sons behind the century; persons who had not the advantage of hearing your lectures at the Tabernacle; persons like the legislator of the Jews, and the wise men of the Greeks, and the f earners of the Declaration ol Independence. It would be easy for rr.e also, and it would be true, to assert that I am not crunl or tyrannical by na ture; lhat I hate all oppression; that if 1 had slaves, I would influence and govern them uni formly by kindness, instead of coercion in short, that I would use them as humanely as Jefferson himself, whose enthusiastic reception by his at tached negroes, on his return to Monticrilo, forms so agreeable a picture in Tucker's life of tkai illustrious man. It would be easy, but I do not cofidescentr-io trerrt- rfrrr question 'in this persona! and restricted manner. My position was, and is, the naked assertion, that slaveholding is not a crime ;"' and that nobody ever thought it a crime until some time towards the close of the last century. For the sake of undeceiving your disciples at the Tabernacle, I think it right' now io inform them (and I do it with regret) that you are in the habit of giving so erroneous an account of slavery among the Hebrews, that Moses himself would not know his o,vn laws if he heard them described in one of your reverence's lectures. You say that the Mosaic law did not indeed prohibit slave- ry, but surrounded the system with such restric tions as to make it very inconvenient, and finally to abolish it. The very ingenious authoress ol "Uncle Tom's Cabin," in her "Key" lo the same, has asserted, quoimg a Mr. Barnes for it, that nil .1 i r s . inougn Hebrews might buy slaves, they could not sell them ; and again, that there was an enact, ment requiring Hebrew slaveholders to liberate their slaves every fiftieth year.

The true liberty of n man, you would say, consisted in his finding out, or being forced lo find out, tha right path, nnd to ivalk thereon; to learn, or lo be taught, what work he actua'ly was able for; and thus, by per mission, persuasion, and even compulsion, to set about doing of the same. That is his true hies-sedm-ss, honor, liberty, and maximum of well-being.' Wisely, as it seems lo me, the same writer again exclaims : 'Surely, of all 'rights of man,' this right of the ignorant man to be guided by the wiser, lo Lj gen ly or forcibly held in ihe Iruo course by urn, is ihe undisputablest. Nature her self ordai.is it from the first. Society struggles towards perfection by enforcing und accomplishing it more and more. It is a sacred right and duty on both sides; nnd the summary of all social du ties whatsoever between the two.' Thus the ideal of n slaveholder's position is a true patriarchate. He is the futher of a family. And how much higher are his duties nnd responsi bilities than those of a mere employer for money - .igKs, oetween wnom ana ins laborer the solo nexus is cash payment ! If he do his duty, how" much higher he stands in the scnle of God's crea. lures, than the man who merely pays his workmen their wages on Saturday night, and dismisses them to ihe grog shop ! If he do not his duly, or if he abuse his power, may God forgive him ! Before closing this letter, I shall quote for you n sentence or two from another keen observer of the world, Father Ivmyon : In general,' he says, ' I regard the whole question as one whose impor tance is much exaggerated by fancy perchance ny lanatacism. We are nil slaves, in a thousand senses of the word : slaves to time, to plater, lo circumstance j to the habits of our great grand fathers on either side, and In the whims of our maternal ancestors in nil their nonsensical cenera- tio:is; to fire, air, earth and water throughout all their analyses ; to tailors a most galling yoke; snuff, washer-women, quacks, policemen, umbrel las, Lordon merchants, native millers, and royal engineers. If to till these slaveries there be su peradded one other namely, slavery to tdavchold ers, I cannot see that our position will be very essentially deteriorated.' Now, your reverence is a slave: a slave to cer tain words nnd phrases, which have wot the mas- tery of your poor mind, and thus over your body too. You are as one possessed by them. Thoy make you cry out, and geniculate vio'.enily, and toil and sweat, and revile passors-by. Who will emancipate you, unhappy congregational pastor?
