the limitations of that type of mankind.' 'But does not the
lady know,' why negro boys are put in truckle-carts? 'If not, any of her
Southern friends could have told her.' We can tell her; 'we have lived
at the South.' These white boys were sent on an errand with their cart,
and to increase its momentum down hill, and, withal, to tease and worry
a fellow-creature, with a skin not colored like their own, they made
this poor slave-boy get in. She should have seen the poor creature
trudging home, up hill, under a Southern sun, after the little white

England divine, and author. He has written much on slavery. Having
prepared notices of some of his writings on this subject, I am familiar
with his turns of thought and modes of expression. I have great regard
for him, and always read him with pleasure and profit, not excepting
when he writes as follows, in doing which he has the approbation of
large numbers among the Northern clergy of all denominations, except the
Episcopalians,--who, more than other Northern ministers, are remarkably
free from ultraisms.

"Concerning the truckle-cart, 'we would say this,' that unquestionably
'the moral power' of the incident was all which the writer assumes, but
its 'logical sequences' 'we utterly deny.' Slavery is evil, and only
evil, and that continually; now, to infer that agreeable relations can
subsist between the children of masters and the children of slaves under
