Much has be,en bitterly said on the sub ject of slavery, and stilt more on the vex etl question of A,bolition. 1 have travel ed extensively through slaveholding and free States', and have made mjr observa tions on the state of society in each, and shall examine the subject calmlv and dis passi'inatel v. - There are three species of sjavey etistin? in the United States : Political, iOciaTnddame$iir, -,-Vr - Political slavery consists in belonging to a party or leader and he who sustains men instead of measures, is a political slave. Social slaverj consists in servi tude to a maater without an of the imtnu ftitieS "or privileges ' of domestic slaver rrj servitude prompted by necessity (which knows no law) without any protection or exemption from service, unless there be a cessation of wages, such is the slave ry of the tree atates. Domestic slavery consists in servitude, without stipu lated wagc9, save only food, raiment and protec tion, which will be rendered the master on the score of interest, leaving humanity out of the question. The immu nities of domestic slavery are. unknown to the social system. Of the three kinds of slavery described above, that of the social system is evident- encebetween slavery and the abuses of the murAlitr in aiing:iheJrequestioi; jf of slavery, this difference should be borne in minii. ldo not intend to argue the morality of the abuses of sla very, but the thing itself distinct from the abuses.

Here we find servants classified wit.h other spe cies of property, and that by the moral law of God, which never will be abrogat ed!! Let us now look at the history of some of the prominent men of ancient times. For intance, take "a preacher of righteousness" before the flood, Noah. "And Noah awoke from his wine, a id said, cursed be Canaan, a servant of ser vants shall ',: lie ' be unto his. brethren.;? Gen"9,-'SjC--IIew;'-pltttrienil'emp1iaUe' the languaje.

It seems thst Abraham bought gome servants with'hii ' money." This "implies a right to buy, and a rig it to buy, implies a right to sell. I think we may : infer. .ately, that buying and selling servants'nr laves in Abraham's time was not consid ered a moral evil. In add.tion to those bo ight by Abraham, he had many others; for Abimilech gave him "man servants a -nl m lid servants," bea'uks other species of property, such as 'sheep and oien,, &o Gn.r20,' 14. V;:''7" y--- r." In the battle of the Kings, when Lot C ; Abraham! nephew) was taken captive, 'He armed three hundred and eighteen trained servants, born in his house, and pursued them to Dan and rescured his nephew. Gen.' 14 14. So, then, we find the father of the faithful in posses sion of servant, "burn in his house,, giv en him as ft present," and bought with his money In all, I guess, not less than one thousand; quite a respectable number, even fur a Mississippi planter for the pre sent day. If it be contended, that Abraham arid Noah were fallible, and liable to err, 1 now call your attention -to. the .unerring testimony ot the Angel of the Lord, who found s-ouawayberfantttteikUc; nes, sitting by a fountain on the road to Shur. "And he said, the angel) Hagar, Sarai's toaiil, w he nee- comes t-thttu ? and she said I flee from the face of my mis, tress Sarai.

Much habeen said against owning men as species of property.'7 Let usliear lilo sea the Liv.giyer.nn this point. ' In some casrg they not ' tinlv served forever, bu: Ihrir ma-ters brought them before judges, and to the "door post, and bored through their ear wl h an awl.' Ex, SI, 6. The bare rla'ion of such an art nnw, would cause some tender hearted female aboli tionists to faint into hystericks; afid a master of the present day, 'should he so farforget himself as .to bore ait awl through 1ia,. servant's ear," would be damned above ground tnd the abolition tramp!, with i thousand tengurS, woald blow it abroad to the ends of the earth7 Hut hear Moses still further. Mlf a man smite his servant with a rod, ami he die un der his hand, he shall be surely punishsdr Notwithstanding if he centinue a day os two, he shall not be punished; for he is hie monej." SI, SO, SI. Here, then, we se smiting with a rod recognised by Moses; and also, in certain case, the life of the servant placed in the hands of the master. The reason given. -you have just read EST "For ht it hit money.' ! 1 What will our abolitioiists do with the old Testament saintg?

The fact is, many men are wise above what--i,Ewritten, and often run rbefowThey aref snt: "The" application can be made herearW.17 x Let us how look at ihe 'Ness Testa-j Went a moment, and then pass oil. - -First, Let it be rememueced-, that Christ came "not to destroy the Isw but to ful fil."

Lpreasme Paul thought that Philiinnn had a right to the services of Onesimus, else why send him back, arid trouble him' self to write a letter on the occasion? Woqld the vigilant societies of Cincinat ti and New York who boast of having liberated and aided so many to escape) have acted thus? . Far from it, if slavery be such an intolerable sin, is - it not pas sinz stranze that Christ and his apostles did not bear direct testimony against it? They condemned drunkenness, lying, en vy, theft, &c kins of much less magni tude in the estimation of ;he abolitionists. They'cnuTd not have' been ignoraht of its existence, and so Tar from discountenance ing, they made arrangements for its fu ture continuance. Read Paul and Peter upon this subject. . ' I have thus, ' sir, taken i brief view of slavery n countenanced by the bible.

'Free and equal. , By whom was tliisdect&ratiowmade? .By the writer and signers of the Instrument. As Paul said to the' Jews on a ilirTerent sub ject, was this' declaration made in cir cumcision or in uncirrumcisoin?'in slavery or before slavery existed?' Every body knows that it was written' and signed, by slave-holders. ' An' examination of the constitution will give you the idea enter tained by the trainer of, this . free' and equal declaration. 7 Let us look at "the state nf the world at the time the declara tion was penned, and see if all men were born tree or equal. 1- .Some were born free in fact, some slaves. .- No man can denj it. 2".

Let their conduct b exhibited befo e a candid world, nn (he aubj'-ct, da the best explanatioti of their meaning. For arguments sake, let us admit that slavery is a moral evil. - Is hot abolition a greater evil? If it ran be shown' that abolition is an evil stall, then it is evident from the doctrine of Paul that we aril nu( to engage in it; for no man has' a riaht to do "evil thatgoiKl may cotne."
