Its start- ling array of and forcible presentation of facts that could not be denied; all tending to set forth tbe pauperism and 'demoralizing effects of the American Slave System, created an impression directly opposite to that which bis virnlt-nce against the slaveholders and ap- peals to 'the passions of the nb'n slaveholders i of the South inspired.

It is hardly necessary to state that the latter, is not responsible for the unofficial acts of a few persons who may vote for its candidates, and that the wisdom or folly of the undertaking is no part of Republican policy.

The author can find but one cause of trou ble, and that Slavery, "the son' of a consid erate and. merciful slaveholder, si native bf the Sooth, born and bred in North Carolina, or a family which has been in tbe valley of the Yadkin for nearly a century and a half, a Southerner by instinct and nil the mfluences of. thought, habits and kindred," indeoding to remain iu the vicinity of his birth-place he has not only become, ''not merely a Free Soiler, but an Abolitionist, in the fullest sense of tbe term." He continues: '-We are not only, in lavor of keeping Slavery out of the Territories, but canying our opposition to the insti tution a step further, we here unhesitatingly declare ourself in favor of its immediate and unconditional abolition in every state in this confederacy where it now exists.

This opin ioo has been formed from no "sickly sentimen tality," as he proceeds t'o by a series of tables, lor trie correctness ol which Air. jje Bow, the far from Abolition census collector and editor, is responsible, AORICCLTDRAL SUPXRIOBITT OF TBB KORTH.

The writer, as the champion of the non slayeholding white of the Southern State, to arouse them to a sense of their degradation through InSuenceof Slavery, but in the pursuanea of this very laudable purpose, uanecessarily offends the prejudice of the aristooratio iasa. Where interest is at slake, it is very diffi cult to convince a man or clasa of men, that they ought to act Contrary to that loterest.

bat the, in'usion of a very large amount of harshness, adds nothing to the force of an argument. Mr. Helper does not reua-m With gentleness.
