We have rarely met with an article of the same vast population in I the most abject slavery -ha ing power oyer labor, and property! and liberty and life j and that, in itself, would be nd crime 1 The power j of the master I therefore admit.' I admit, too, its frequent andshamefulabuse and I unite with you in deploring and condemning this as heinous sin. But to include in the ideabif sla very 1 the right 1 to oppress and degrade! is to tuuiuuuu ivvo uiings enurejy uisunci, anppnic , really have ho sort of conn ec tion. 1 : ; It is urged, however, that slavery, js a jsih, be cause it does violate those primary rights fwhich ii i- t i -J .t-'? .1,1- r wcjung , in uii uuraan oemgs, ana oijwnicj none " can deprive them without doing aggravated wrong.

Having declined the condition, we will not say from what motive, on which -we hal proposed to publish the whole of Dr. Wayland's letters, he thereby let pass the only opportunity he ever hai', or perhaps ever will hare again, to secure the publication of the said letters in a Southern paper. This is quite incomprehensible, however, to the Kiacious and magnanimous editor of THE CHRISTIAN 'imiTIClAN. There is ' something'' about 'this Irtiker Brisbane, which, notwithstanding all his iaults, commends itsdl to our favor. When he takes occasion to remark on ihe produ lions of his opponents, he has lbs magiiani i ity to insert the articles remarked on thus giving his read ers soine chance to see and judge for tbemithes.
