Now the ! , , r . i.: .1 nii, Oucst ions. Slavery hits ono feature which no old- r system ot opprexmou lias, ue u ever so opprcsa-i iv! It makes inun a piece of morclmndiio ; ho ..lave, and all things produced by hi. labor is, It there any other Slavo Tro- KlaTe Produce. Question, 1st dace. ' Joseph also says : " I think our brother Gcrrit it niiatakuu. Sugar, Molasncs, Ilico and Cotton, are littlo to the point, " Hut it looks to mo, thnt they aro much to the point, because, they form a considerable part of the products of tho labor of Slates, held nt tho present day, and nrc tho on ly product, refraining from which, will aflect the Interest', of Slnve-holdiug, and abstinence frmi which is necessary for tho overthrow of Slavery : while they aro appealing to us in tho language ol thoir follow .uffurcrs of generations goi.o by, to tho non-slaveholders of their day, nnd saying i "O! Cense, to purchaso our productions " : Then they'll coise to trallio in tho soiilu of men. 2nd. If thoso of that generation to whom this appeal was first mado, had refused to purchnso of the masters, any thing produced by their slaves, would it not havo caused their Liberation', ami would not audi refraining from slave productions have the tamo effect whenever practically adhered to by any l'eoplc ? 3rd. Will our refraining from the products of the labor of Slaves of former generations, have any tendency to the overthrow of Slavery : whilo we continue to purchase of the masters nnd use freely the products of the labor of the slaves of tho prot cut day? 4th. If all those wdio own no slaves, would ut terly refuse, w hatever is being produced by slaves of the present day, (without any regard to the pro duction, of former generations, ) would not the lave-Iioldcr let go his victims? Joseph further says : " no man lives an hour no man cats, drinks, sleeps, prays, dresses builds buy. nor .ells j no man becomes a Christian, serves temperance, hates slavery, nor does nny other good thing j no man drinks in tho nir of heaven, oven to drawing his first breath when ho comes into the world, or expiring his last, w hen ho goes out of it ; no man doos any one of nil these, except as ho is nurtured and nourished by slave produeo; in it wo live and move nnd havo our being. " 5th. Will the products of tho labor of slaves sup port thorn and their masters, without nn addition al supply taken from free htdor production.: And ha. it dono it in the United Slate.? 6th. Can not tho free non-slavoholding popula tion of tho world support themselves by their pro- ductiuns; and cnu they not do it, iu these tinted S..i..t ollc" 7th.

Would it not bo nearer tho truth that mankind live, uro nourished nud nurtured much moro by free i than by slave produce ? , 10th. 1. it truo that any man 'prays' ns ho ought, or " becomes a Christian, loves temperance, bates slavery or docs auy other good thing;" by subsisting on tho slaves productions? y illth. Would it nut bo mure true, to say, thnt imiwikind by coveting, purchasing, or using, for their own support or gratification ; the products pf alave labor, aro thereby obstructing free labor, hich U much more productive,) and preparing nn " to sny, themselves to uooonio pruycrlcs. aua Anti-t-iius-lllia tien, to hate temperanco, love slavery, und do every jivil and wicked work? . .12th.
