The Hebrews and slavery.

It is a singular fact that the most masterly expositions which have lately been made of the constitutional and the religious argument for slavery are from gentlemen of the Hebrew faith. Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, has made a most unanswerable speech on the rights of the South ever made in the Senate, and Rabbi Raphall, in the pulpit of New York, has delivered a discourse which stands like the tallest peak of the Himmalehe — immovable and incomparable. Both these efforts are as great in their calmness and dignity as in their irresistible logic and profound learning. In addition to its unrivalled erudition, there is something almost startling and sublime where, in a certain part of his discourse, this Jewish Rabbi instructs that false preacher of Christianity, H. W. Beecher, in the spirit and principles of his own religion.
