able pedigrees! Mr. Russell is already at the West, and will soon be again at the North. We can promise that in neither quarter will his letters be in danger. He may write them with the perfect assurance that they will go forward to their destination unopened, and of course unaltered. We may be fanatics, but we do not steal; we may be mere shop-keepers, but we do not tamper with the mails; we may be bigots, but no letters are opened in our Post-Offices as they are in those of England and Russia. The stercoraceous power of Slavery to develop all the cardinal virtues, has received another illustration. Seedy patriots of Alabama, very much in debt to the North, where distance from home lent an enchantment to their persons, and a power as of triple brass to their faces, feeling, when the miseries of maturity came upon them, at once a disinclination and a disability to meet their bills, have counseled with the Lord High Chancellor Dargan of their State as to the propriety and legali

ot without success. Feudalism went first, although it made better masters and more productive vassals than slavery, and did not imbrute the noble by ministering to his personal luxury. Slavery in the Roman Empire disappeared like a mist before the sun of the new Revelation. Men were not ashamed, even in the time of Louis X., to manumit their vassals pro amore Dei; while Dr. Fuller and his disciples desire to keep men in eternal bondage for the same pious reason. The one great question in Russia for half a century has been, How shall we be rid of serfdom? In the United States, during their whole political existence, with a certain class, the one great question has been, How shall we conserve Slavery? Hence we have been, too many of us, at one endless, horrid grind of logic to prove-what all the rest of the world was practically denying — that Human Slavery is profitable; and it has all ended in Mr. De Bow's assertion, that there are eight tan-yards in Louisa County. In sheer disg
cards; but when both sides betake themselves to the amusement, our impression is that it will be speedily abandoned. The subterfuge of the South, that we are inciting the Blacks to insurrection, with all its traditional horrors, is the sheerest and falsest nonsense. By all the laws of war, we have a perfect right to employ the Slaves against their Masters — Caius Marius did it, and he was esteemed a tolerable soldier in his day ; and Napoleon, at St. Helena, regretted he did not do it in Russia ; the English did it during our Revolutionary War; but we have never read that Washington threatened to hang English prisoners upon that account. The general who should refuse the services of half, or more than half, of the population of a country which he was endeavoring to subjugate, would not deserve a court-martial merely, because he would deserve to be shot without one. It is all very well for this Charleston editor, in the security of his sanctum, to howl for hempen vengeance; but
