THE ILL EFFECTS OF IRON BOUND

Sin A letter in your Journal of Mon.
u.iy lust, renews in niy mind subject I
have often been on the point cf address
ing you upon ; and one, as relate to hor
ses of (juick uclion,of as much importance
as Wardrop's Lssay on the Diseases ol
the Ky : I mean the consideration of the
Horse's Feet, and the injury induced by
the application of an inelastic ring as a
protection to a part, formed, in all its out
ward pans, by Nature, for full and free
exercise of elasticity. Twenty years ago,
or rather more, in the indulgence of a ie
Kurd to my ridin; horse so naturally the
feeling of youth, I was led to observe in
my own, and, indeed, more or less in the
horses of every one else, a degree of con
traction taking place in the foot: in some,
the aflection (for it was uot at that period
supposed a disease) was of slow progress,
while in others it was rapid and destruc
tive. Various were the methods tried to
avoid the growing evil, but ill proed
abortive. At an early period, after my
tniiid had become alive to the subject, I
became acquainted with limey Clark, an
cniimnt London Veteiinary Surgeon, who
vas prosecuting a similar inquiry, and
through his professional information 1
v;i i ultimately indebted to the knowledge
of w l .t was requisite to the heathy pro-
i tn '.'-ii or thr foot of that truly noble an
' in ti c liorss:. This induced me, six
r r , u ;;, to nuke use, with some trifling
i .Im ';:on, of a shoe, known formerly in
I tin niiig workl by the name of 'thc
! t:-v-r. n shoo it bting customary for
t: i.i :.j be carried by huntsmen for the
t ' ' .niTiodation of gentlemen whose hor
j m loiht accidentally throw a shot ; und,
i.ning a rivet in the toe, was, from its ca
pability of ixpansion or contraction, easi-
y accommodated to the foot of any hoi se.
.Vtt-r 1 h.vd used this shoe twelve months,
I wro'.c Bracy ( lark an account of the re
sult, which had proved btncfuwl beyond
my most sanguine expectations ; still they
were not altogether fit for general use, and
the rtfore r.o public exbibititn took place
of ihrm. I however, continued their use,
and with great success, getting such alter
ations as circumstances seemed to dictate
the necessity of; always communicating
my experiments, as I proceeded, to my
worthy and respected friend B. C, who, I
am happy to find, has now brought a shoe
to pet lection, which stands the test cf pub
lie experience. It is now six years since
I have used jointed shoes, and I therefore
think I may be allowed, from the success
I have experienced, to name it for the
benefit of the public, and particularly for
that part of the agricultural world who
are engaged in breeding and breaking val
uablc horses, many of whom are sent, at
early ar-e, to London, with contracted
f-et from shoeing, not as the general mode
of expression is, " bad shoeing," butrom
thuring which, at generally utcd, is al:o
grther, in the best hands, bad !
I send you herewith (which I shall be
glad, when your curiosity and that of your
friends in your immediate vicinity are
gn'ifted, to hnYc returned) two ccff:n
botif s ; the one formerly belonging to on
animal that had been shod in the common
mode, and the other to one that had rev
er worn oilier than the jointed shoes, and
leave you to make your own comments
The natural age of the horse is from 25 to
SO years ! How many never reach seven or
nine, from bad feet, arising from the mod
of shoeing in general practice !
The horse arrives at his full growth at
seven, and full beauty and roundness c
parts at iiine after which they arc capa
blc of their greatest exertion ; yet, from
the uncorrected evil in the old mode
shoeing, few persons like to buy a hoTX

MenKTt. Editor : I have read, with no
small degree of interest, a temperate and
ingenious essay on local prejudices, which
appeared in the Southern Intelligencer,
an excellent religinus journal, published
at Charleston. I he subject has frequent
ly occurred to my mind, while the illib
eral and unfounded prejudices existing
between the inhabitants of the Northern
and Southern sections ol our country have
been noticed with deep and painful regret.
A very moderate acquaintance with the
world is sullidenl to teach the falsehood
of those sweeping conclusions, so often
made to the injury of particular commu
nities. That men, with similar advanta
ges of education and religious instruction,
are influenced by similar motives, and
that place and situation have little to do
with their moral or religious character,
are reflections confirmed by the expe
rience of ages. Yet, while the inhabit
ants of the North indiscriminately con
demn their Southern brethren with re
spect to slavery, luxury, intemperance,
and a neglectof their rtligious duties and
obligations, the inhabitants of the South,
forming their opinions from the pcdlcrs
and adventurers they meet with, pro
nounce, in the same unqualified terms,
respecting the moral character of their
Northern brethren ; and set them down as
cheats, swindlers and bvpor riles. That
both pin ties are cgrc(;iouly wrong in
their conclusions, a very slight degree cf
acquaintance with them, as they really
are, would be sufficient to proe-
Let us, in the first place, examine the
charges so often brought against the in
habitants of the South ; in the front ol
which stands the ItcUlin if ilavei. That
the present generation hud no agency in
bringing this evil, for such they all admit
it
, 6n themselves, is a stubborn fact, which
heir accusers cannot controvert : nor can
all the acknowledged ututrnet of yankees
devise any means by which, consistently
with the safety of both parties, they can
free themselves from this calamity, were
they inclined to do it and that many of
them do ardently desire it, we know tb be
truth- With respect to their treatment,
although here, as in other places, there
are, unquestionably, men so devoid of the
eelmgs of benevolence and humanity, as
to treat their domestics with unmerited
cruelty, yet, on a residence in this coun
try, the fust thing we notice is, the ma
ny comforts enjoyed by the slaves, the
moderate degree of labor usually imposed
upon them, their comfortable and often
handsome clothing, their frequent relaxa
tion frcm labour, and, in many instances,
the almost paternal tenderness with which
they are treated- Indeed, however ex
travagant t tie assertion niav appear, we
may confidently affirm, that, in the towns
and villages of this state, their services
are lighter, their clothing and diet better,
and their Ireedom from care greater, than
is enjoyed by the laboring classes in oth
er states. That the most severe task
masters among us, are foreigners, that is
r.uropeans, or the mhabiun's of other
states, is a tact well known and attested
by those who have made any observation
on the subject. Since the prejudices of
the North are so strong on the subject of
slavery, and their consciences and feelings
so tremblingly alive to its religious and
morl turpitude, how can we account for
the fact, that no instances are found of
men from that part of our country, ob
taining slaves by marriiage, execution,
lecacy or purchase, all of which do hap
pen, who are disposed to grant them man
umission f Un the contrary, those resi
ding in this country know it to be a fact,
that such men are as tenacious of this
kind of property, more rigorous in their
exactions of labor, und as ready to make
money by their sale, as the men of the
Sou'h. During a residence of many
years In one of the larger towns, in the
eastern part of this stale, the writer of
this article knew instances of men trom
that state, which claims to itself the ex
clusive title of " the land of steady hab
its," who, merely to gratify "the fineT
feelings of the soul," would solicit the of
fice ol whipping offending slaves. Trom
these instances of individual depravity,
would it be just or liberal to infer, that
the inhabitants of the Northern states de
lighted in the infliction or human misery ?
Yet such has been the "measure meted"
to the inhabitants of the South. The ex
pressions of acrimony, amounting almost
to a wish, that thr scenes of St. Domingo
might be acted over in the Southern states,
which, during the Missouri question, fell
from members of Congress, were a sub
ject of humiliation t.nd regret to jjfntle
men from the North, residing in this state.
That such lUiguage and feelings could
have their origin only in ignorance of the
condition of the slaves and the conduct of
ttit ir masters, was their unanimous and
decided opinion.
With respect to the broad assertion,
that " no slave holder can be a christian,"
hundreds of us can unite our testimony,
that man) men, of the most minuisli
cd piety, are owners of slaveswho are
as careful of their iciieimis education as
any christian parent, even at the North,
can be of the education wf bis children ;
who, while they render 'heir situation
comfortable and happy bete, cno'ravor tr
teach tlif rn the way lo happiness hereaf
ter. In the Old Testament we are in
formed tkaj Abraham, the father of the
faithful, lud upwards of 3'K) servant,, bom
in his own house. J b, " a man who fear
ed Cod and eschewed evil," had many
sei viis. That professing christian vero
in the habit of owning servants, all wc
read on the subject in the New les'a
ment, serves to shew j while, in no one in-
stance, do we find the practice reprobated.
The writer of this article never did, nor
ever expects to own a slave i but he lias
many among his dearest and mst valued
friends who do, and wlisoe piety and liu
mani'y, he is confident, would lose noth
ing bv being compared with that of tins
men who so loudly reprobate the practice.
That slavery is an evil, attended by man
unhappy and demoralizing effects, none
are more leady to admit, than the inhab
itants of the South. None more bitterly
deplore the calamity none, it is believ
ed, would make Rreater sacrifices to ef
fect its total abolition. Did our northern
brethren duly reflect on these circum
stances, were they aware of the dillku!
ties attending them, end especially did
they know the full extent cf the comforts
and piivilrges enjoyed by the slave, .aid
the tenderness so often manifested bv their
masters, although ihey miht lament
the evils, which certainly do eist, yet
they would cease to heap unmerited re
proaches upon the innocent.. The con
duct of one class of our citizens cannot
be too severely censured, timnrlv, ihosa
who. in defiance of the laws of their coun
try, of humanity and of Cod, are m any
way, either as ship owners or ship mas
ters, concerned in bringing these misera
ble creatures into our country. 1 hat
these men, er demons in their shape, are
often, if not wholly, from the North, wo
blush to admit.
As to the other charges of irteligion,
intemperance, and prevailing licentious
ness, it is to be lamented that too much
of these evils prevails every where in our
country ; yet we feel a degree of confi
dence in sayincr, that the impressions,
with respect to the Southern states, have
been greatly and wickedly exaggerated.
That our situation differs muteiisJly from
our brethren at the North, they shoulJ
bear in mind. Our scattered population,
having few towns er villages, deprives us
of the facilities for public worship which
they enjoy, in so distinguished a degree
But the proportion of professing chris
tians, and of those who are the friends of
religion, is much greater than is usually
imagined, and we flatter ursclves is daily
increasing. Luxury and Intemperanco
are apt to bear some proportion to the
facilities of living ; yet we believe it would
be difficult to produce examplesofa great
er degree of refinement in corrcet mor
als, and of attention to the duties of re
ligion, than exis', at this time, in a num
ber of the larger towns in this state. That
some improvement is visible throughout
the Southern states, we trust is obvious.
Much most certainly retrains to be Cone.
Many and great evils do exist ; and so
have reason to humble ourselves before
God, for our manifold transgressions. Yet
frtm othert, we feel a proud consi iousness
in saying, we do nut deserve the severe
censures and sarcasms rsst upon u by
them. In a future ess, I thali tntieavor
to show how unfounded are the prejudi
ces cherished against Yunkrety as they are
reproachfully termed. One observation
shall include the present remarks. Were
