But a word upon African slavery as it exists among us in the Southern States of the American Union and for which we are anathematized by te~ ligious and. 1rreligious at the North. Whence did this ugly, uncouth, ill-shaped monster arise, and Whence came it amongst us? I protest that no Southerner ever yet made a slave: The institution, our puritan friends will perhaps admit, for the most part took its origin in the captures effected. By the belligerent tribes, themselves of Africa, and it was surely a mercy that such captives were enslaved instead of being destroyed by their con quering brethren. But how came their descendants now. Among us'is the question which I suppose would bring abolitionists to a starid, if not too ra'bid. Your correspondent being a knowing one might perhaps charge the introduction of African slaves into this country to British cupidity. And if we grant it was thus the institution arose among the puritans of the North, we again ask how it came fixed exclusively upon us in the Sunny South. Did not our enterprising Northern-neighbors, when their slaves were of no further service at home, push them off upon us, and not Without the. Quid pro quo, the cui bono, or in plain English, for value received? And now, does the attempt to wrest them from' us without compensation come with a good grace _from that quarter? Surely not! But let me suggest to your eloquent correspondent and his compatriots how the thing may be done on principles of equity. It is abad rule. Which will not work both ways. As' the abolitionists are the sympathizing party, convinced that slavery is a crying sin against God and the country, while we are not of that Way of thinking, let them give us our money back, and convince us that they will better the condition of Nancy and Scipio Af ricanas, and the rest, and perhaps, if the slaves can be induced to leave. Many might be thus satisfactorily relieved from the scourge and the chain.
