sort of classical and mathematical Carthage, dear old Harvard and always respectable Yale, Dartmouth, which produced Rufus Choate, and all other Northern seminaries whatever. No wonder The Louisiana Democrat looks forward to such a foundation with pleasant emotions, and anticipates a new impetus to the science, learning and literature of a great country. A Southern University! What a pleasing notion! How suggestive of exegesis, cumulative and conclusive, concerning Joseph, Abraham and Moses, Paul and Onesimus, illustrating the true significance of doulos, and historically, critically and classically proving, that a nigger is not a white man — a position which considering that nobody has disputed it, our Southern philosophers seem to be over eager to establish — bursting upon us with rekindling ethnological light, and sweetly and sagely conducting us to a serene acquiescence in the sanctity of slaveholding! This is what a Southern University would do; this is why a Southern Uni

a remedy as cautery; but sometimes it is only cautery that will do the business. Selfishness, of which Mr. Toombs gives us such a charming specimen, is the main cause of man-owning, and that is the main cause of all our political mischiefs. When we hear a planter talk about ethnology and the inferiority of races and so ascending and descending the whole gamut of solemn twaddle, we always laugh, at least inwardly; because we know that he approves of Slavery, out of no sort of respect for Moses or St. Paul, but because it gives him a coat to wear, toddies to drink, tobacco to smoke, a bed to lie upon, and a roof to cover him. When he is cornered, out comes the truth. Stop raising cotton! cries Toombs: lend you my niggers! I will see you hanged first! What a dear, delightful, outspoken, frank and candid Toombs! What a charming ProSlavery Doctor of Divinity he would make, to be sure! He is n't a man to give up all he is fighting for, merely for the sake of winning the battle.

however opulent, astonishes the world by a magnificent and multitudinous concubinage. Rothschild, in such a display, might rival the traditional glories of Solomon. But the Synagogue has discarded an institution inconsistent with the social phenomena of the age to the bastardized Christianity of Brigham Young; while the Christian Slaveholder, contemptuously overleaping the gap which divides the Old and New Dispensations, claims, as an extenuation of his crime, the authority and example of Moses and the Prophets. Polygamy is an offence against reason, decency, policy, and the enlightenment of the times; but in the system of Human Slavery the most indecent and revolting features of Polygamy are included. Each of these systems tends to the gratification of unhallowed lusts, to the pollution of woman, to the degradation of the marital relation, to the desecration of home, to a loose and promiscuous association of the sexes; but these odious peculiarities of Slavery are mixed with o
