rirst, then, bjf tbo word Slavery, I
Mean any action, be it either political,
physical, social, moral or intellectual,that
on the whole produces more evil than
«omo lood, because it costs something, is
a slave to acquisitiveness, and holds in
slavery alimer.tiveness, and not unfre
quently bfnevolence and justice and ei
ther of these are likewise thieves snd
murderers, as well as slaves and slave
holders, as I shall attempt to prove be

they ebey the crarmgs of a particular

oppress another.

of
tbe Saviour's to be a grand allegory de
claring tbe profound truth, that he who
committed! sin shall perish by it, or in
St bar words suffer its consequences,
which
consequenees consist in the demand of
satisfaction by the part of the organise'
lion at the sacrifice of wbeoa grat fication
it was committed. Tbe neglect then of
properly exercising all parts of our or
ganization within the sphere which our
great Architect gave them, and within
whicfc he not only intends bat command
ed they should be exercised, is slavery
within my meaning, as welt as the chat«
tie slavery in Southern States, and I add
farther, without fetu of contradiction,that
tbe latter wherever and whenever it exists
is always the product of the former ths
former may exist without the latter, but
the latter never can exist without the Ter
mer to declare the possible existence of
laiter without the existence of the far
mer is to declare the existence of ati ef
fect without a cause a doctrine absurd
alike iu the eye of Revelation, Reason,
Justice and Nature. But enough of this,
I have now,with aim atb'iug underitOJJ,
defined my meaning of the word slavery,
and hare in so doing unavoidably alluded
to the causes 1, therefore, with brevity
in the second place ehall simply ask a
few questions and give corresponding
1
jert. t*:ist. What ia the pi^ irntive cause
of slavery as just defined, and which at
litis time more than any other, it agita­
ting the public mind through tli« length
and breadth of our far extended country?
I answer it is the giatificition of the ir
regular aud uni'ist desirfet of man, which
desires are either inborn or cultivated by
the habit of continually seeing and imita
t»ng the examples of evil, or generally
has origin in ihcm tfih. Second. Whnt
will be the result of the irregular, unjust
and continuing gratification ot these de
s rf»? Ttie result,founded in nature and
confirmed by experience, will be a con
tinual augmentation and the contraction
ot those desires or affections at the sacri
fice, or rather robbery, of whose proper
gratification they were committed. Theae
wicked and unjust practices continue un
til their demoralizing influence dethrones
everything iu tbe composition of man,
that is aoble, purs, just and Godlike—in
the huguage of a distinguished moral
philosopher: 'so ludurated and perverted
does the moral susceptibility of man be
come, by the con'inued practice of evil,
that it declares right, wrong and wroog.
right.' In a woid the philosophic mind
can trace the causes of the most barbar
ous aud heaven revolting crimes to a prim
itive minute cause like the literary men
of the age their great literary achieve
ments down to the alphabet or like the
mathematician bis achieveineuta in sol
viug the most intricate and perplexing
problems in tbe science of ro*Uisrtmn'«i
Or the Geometrician his skill to the
good for humanity that does not give to which are the leve and fulcrum. I might ^in(j
every part of man's organization, the full cite numerous other examples illustrating
and equal share of gratification to which this law, did I consider the?e inadequate

aud the laws recognized, by the beasts of
the field aud the birds ef the air justice,
mercy and veneration tiwell so longer in
him. I direct tbe attention, in the third
place, to the effects bsth external and in
ternal of slavery. First, however, to far
ther guard against misrepresentation, I
will notice a proposition into which an
idea, advanced under pteceeding heads,
n addicted to sin, are slaves, glavehol- naturally solves itself I stated in sub-
stance that he who over exercises any
pail of his organism is not only a slave
and a slaveholder, but also a thief and a
murderer. The proposition into which
this statement naturally solves itself, is
that the character or slave, the s'avehold
er, the thief and the murderer is co-evil
and always dwells to a freater or less et
teat in one and the same person. This

I doubt even ttie particular^ let alone tits
general correetneae of that proposition
becattae continues he, that proposition
would rusks every slave in the South a
slavehoiJar, a thief, snd a murderer,
which is an assertion known to be falae.
Without asking the friend how he knows
the assertion to be false, I would kindly
ask him what of his own nature does the
slave not hold in Slavery? I pause for an
answer. Will any one tell me ia whatj
particular he is not a alaveholder? The
friend finally answers that he holds no
hninan beir ga iu slavery. I would re
mind kim that he is not even sure of tkat,
aa a universal conclusion, nor eren as a
genersl one, for a knnwlod^ of the com
position of man, cenfirined by his various
manifestations, has repeat*Jly proved,
that even the African slave has been fre
quently found inlluential in continuing
his children, father, mother, brut
hers and
sisters in slavery. He would use the ar
gument, that to attempt an escape would
be worse than useless because their op
pressors are many and mighty and would
shoot them down like wolves, were they
to resist in their recapture. They are not
unfrequently told by tluir brother in bonds
that every a-.tempt to escape be it success
ful for him wiie attempts it, or not, tends
but to increase the oppression and suffer
ing on the rest. Do not, therefore, infre
quently the sympathetic appea', if
you lore me your children, father,
mother, brothers and sisters, lake the rash
step, for it will but tend toe ntail increas
ed misery upon us. You know, the en
treater continues, that the preachcr baa
repeatedly to us that servants should be
obedient to their masters, sad that God
in his own qood time would deliver us all.
Do not, therefore, I beseac'i thee, tram
ple under foot the admonitions of the
Lord, throigli hts servant, but romain
with us and await I is salvation.

before one -It degrades him in the eyes
of others and what is worse, blunts his
sensibility to disgrace on ths one hand,

more qu.etly and peaceably we a!! get on

a tall Yankee, was seen searching his
pockets, presumedly for a piece of money
but instead of that he pplled out his to

Vnseasonable r'ttl*
A few calutilationi relative tn the com
parative valae ot grri n aud seasoned
wood for fuel, may serve to r*uiind tnose
iuii-tcsicd of the importunes o! auwuuou
to the subject.
Every l-ody knuws that greeu wood ia
poor stuff to kindle a fire, though some
contend that it will keep up as weii aa
seasoned, if applad coostastiy, not suf
fering tho heat to go down. Tnat is, il
you have a g'od fire to season it in, you
caa burn green wood as well a» dry
But to the calculations
A green stick of wood, weighing iOO
lbs when seasoned weighs only 66 ibs.,
or audi it about the average o! wood com
monly used for fuel. In a seusoned »uck
you have ail tho w od all mm witl sup
port combustion—you 1 ave only got rid
ot 34 lbs. of water.
Now, water will not bum, and it pre
sent in fuel, it has to be converted inu»
steam, at the expense of that fuel, nnd it
will take five times as ri.in heat to male
steam o! water, as it will aimpiy to bring
it a boiling point. Here is seen at
ouce, the poor oconoiny of burning green
wor»d.
We have shown that about one-third ol
the weight of green wood is water: now
how many barrels of water is there iu a
cord of wood? Tnero arw 123 cubic 'e *t
in a cord, win allowing two-filths for
vacant space between ths sticks, leaves 77
fe»*t of solid wood, one-third of which is
water—equal to over six barrels ol water
in every cord of *ieeu wojd. The heal
required to evnporaie thta water, would
brin^ 3ri barrels to the boiling point. And
this is no: ih« only expense. If th-i wooJ
is cut properly, piled and seasoned in the
woods, the cost oi drawing it wou'd be
nearly one-third less. Any way you ctn
look at it, the economy of burning gteeu
wood is more than questionable.
Every larmer should look nt, and deter
mine to keep a ^O'kI stock of wood on
band, suflicieut to last one year, at least.
Aud na may take an i her 1 ok ai the dil
igence between wood seasoned just
enough, and under cover, and that wh'ch
has ia in out of doors until nil the ssj
