p article-'ontained felse,and seabdalous char-ges against slave .bolders, representingthem to be guilty of crimes "worse thanhorse stealing, gambling or.whoredom,"a moment's reflection "might have taughtyou these charges were too gross to be lis-tened to in -ilence; and too deeply afTectedthe characters of the living and the dead tobe passed over without rebuke. Pursu-ing the mildest course which presented it-.self to my mind, I, as 'one .hr those whomyou had thusgressly assailed, proposed tooffer you my visivs on the sulject of do-mestic slavery, if you would admit mycommunications into your papei; in which

1, in common with others, had been so vi-

olently assailed. In this way I hoped tobe ahle to correct the errors into whichyou had falleo, and consequetitly foil aw ayfrom slave holders the charges and i-e-preaches wjhich you had heaped uponthem).-

' an overture -would have been acceptableand 'by such would have beeu receivedjjith promptitude~and pleasure. But how

wrasmy proposition met, atnd in what man-

ner was my application treated ? A briefreview of your conduct in the premisesshall constitute a reply.

'-We inclinethe balance as ef'ectually by lessening theweight in otne scale as by increasing it inthe other." You first preferred scanuda-Ions charges against me, and then .denied

to falt into error, for infallibility is not anattrilintebof man : and for simple error an

ingenudus'mine can readily find an ex

inister' of the gospel ? There is some-'hiti in. it so sneaking and cowardly-hero is something in it so little and miwan-.there is something in it bo unjust andunfair-there is something in it so dishon-rablo and shameful, that the most ingen-ions at forming excuses tor the failures or

infirmities of mankind are utterly at a losstoo frame an excuse for this. Unfortuuntelyfor you sir, you seri to have yielded your-self up entirely to its influence, and to be

,Bcompletely under its power, that how-"ver it may have been A ith you in youryunger days, you cannot now speak the

truth-and nothing bit the truth-no, noteven by accident. Take a few particu-ars as-proof.You labored at the outset-of the contro-

versy to prove that I was the audaciousand pugnacious "challenger" of the manwhose motto is, "Jirst pure, t/un peacea-le," when I only proposed to defend mycharacter against the false and scandalouscharges which you had previously puhl-fished against slave holders. You repea-tedly represented me as avoiding the pointwhich we had set out to discuss, nndyourself as panting for an opportunity tocome to close quarters. You charged me

with writing in "a had temper," iaeaingyou 'contemptuously." and being guiltyof "abuse," nutwithstauding I had expli-ily proposed in my first letter that noerm should be used ini the~ controversynheomiing the gentleman-the christianitl the miinister-ai propo'sitio:n which y onscued with sen'rn.

straitn ofegotismn disgustinig to the ititeli-gent reader, 'vheni y-ou ouighit to have left~the public to judge for iheitselves res-

pecting the nierit of your -articles and testregth of your argtuments. You haveliedged that the rpadcrs of the True Wes-

levan are niow satisfied resp'ecting the mat-ter at issue bietween us, atid that this stateofthinigs has been brought about by yourelaborate productions. You have exclu-ded my letters from your paper, notwith-standing you hacd promised to publishthem, thereby being guilty of a fulsehoodtas well as an act ot; injustice. When youfound you .could not substanitiate yourcharges against slaveholders,you held backyour communications for three months, un-til von would see what I would say, altho'yoi could have written a commutnicationin "one day" as yon tell us, you writewh so much facility. When. yoti were

reproached for your conduct by the editorof the Olive Braudch, you 'proposed newcondiions to mo to carry on the contro-versy. anid you insultingly told hint that-'hypublishiing the discussion ini his paper hemight increase his subseription- list, altthough yonr own at -the tine, ivas not'near as large as his. And not: to muhily proofs, you have ungenerously-and'falsely charged the -Rev. Mr. Sprnnger;Shagree~d 4to publish the controversy,~when ydpgi 'ivrofd not publish it in yourown paper, with 'combining with me to

c..,ud ;., ft-.m the Recorder that

herebyI might get-rid of- the controversytieu you furnish proof in the same. lettein;*hich you make the- charge, that youstatement is false-absolutely 'false-falsin all its parts.You complain that I have represntd

you:as having: retired' from the controversial field, and express yourself at a losto knowon what grounds I. could haveformed this opinion. Asid-pray sir, hadnot good reason for thinking' you had retired, when three. months had elapsed be-tweenyour letir of July 26th, and miniof October 26th,-when I wrote to the editor of he' Recorder to know what hadbecome of Sou, or what 'was the cause o

your silence? In what light could I'con-sider your silence but as exhibiting proothat you had "backed out-?' - Ipso factoyour silence was proof of your retreatWhd you commenced -the discussion didyou intend that three months should intervene betwien the dates of your letters ?Ifyou did, you ought to have told me so.But you did not, for you promised that acertain portion of the "True .Wesleyan"should be appropriated to the controversy"every tweek" Did not- you or your coeditors assure-the pnlilic that the paperwould print as fast as the'disputants could:write.? When an apology was offered foryour delay in replying to my first two letters, were we nor .iold' that now yotY'hadremoved to the West the controversywould.go on without any delaff; In con-

sequence of your delay did,. I not publisha-letter in the Recorder that 1 would pub..lish no' more until you hat) replied"to mytwo letters-that I should adhero to themotto-"Audi alterem parlem." . And inthat letter didi [ 'iot tell the editor of theRecorder, that my neighbors were undershe impression that the controversy wouldnot go on, otherwise I could have senthim more subscribers than I did ? Was itnot with the expectation of obtaining thecontroversy in due tinme, that so manywere indje'ed to subscribo for tie paper,and do yoit-think it was either honorableor honest thus to violate an implied con-tract-tn falsify your promised punctuality-and cheat them out of what; ihey were

willing to'reedive as an equivalent for theirmoney ? If you think it. was, I do not.And to prove that I would not be:a partyto such an infamous transaction, I wrote asecond letter about your delay, and pub-published it in the Recorder; ,.Of these let-ters you ha'vo taken ao notice in your com-plaint but proceed to censure ine as if youwere as free from spot as the virgin snow.I subsequently continued my letters in do-fence of slavery, not inscribed to you as

formerly, for I considered that you had"backed out," and I did not think I was

under any obligation to wait for you "toblow your own bugle" to announce yourdefeat. ...

lInt strongly as I condemn your mannerin conducting this controversy, your faultstherein are venial when compared withthe principles you profess .ahd the objectyou have in yicw. Do you ask what arethese principles? and what is this object?I answer, I arrive at a knowledge of theformer by a perusal of your own articles,and the articles of others published. chieflyin your paper: and the object is tooplainlyand too frequently indicated to b6 .mifun-derstuod by the most stupid or superfeialreader. rTo begin with your principles:

1. Your first principle is a professed pityfor the negro slave. Against pity for thenegro, I have-I can have, uobjectton,1provided that under the mask of pity forthe slave, injury is not intended or done tothe master. I honor the 'man who :feelscompassion for his fellow. man, whetherhe be black, white, or red : but in this caseI suspect tnhe profession of pity- is nothingbut a mask; because it injures the slaveinstead of beneftling him.-and, becauseit is a patlpabhe violatio'n of the golden rule

hvwi haoitionists profcss to be gav-erned-"dho. unto others as you would theyshould do unto yuu."

2. From avowing pity for thme slave,you proceed to fix the character of the ini-stittmion of .domestic slavery. You say,"slavery .is a great taoral evil-a sinagai nstooud-the sum of all villanies-thevilest system of oppression that ever sawthe sun:-worse than horse stealing, 'gain-bhitng, or whoredomn" This character yepugive it, not only without any. authorityfrom the scriptures, but in flat oppositionto them. -. .

.3. You next fix the character of slaveholders. They are "Thieves, Robbers,Pirates"-unwvorthy-to be called "Charis-tians" anid "worse than the ds::."-

.4. A' scriptural defence of... domesticslavery is termed "HORRID BLAIi'uEitT.""This is comuwitted whenever, any onesavs the Blible, or. in oth'er words,. the. .odof'the Bibf: sanctions slavery (excelit forcrime) or that he did sanction it in oldtimes which if it were not .done in ignor-ance, 'would he an unpardonable sin.-What ! a just God sanction the most un-bounded itnjustice !! the sum o'f all 'villhan-ies, the tinsophisticated wickedness,, thesu perdiabolical and unparalleled robberyof God and man."

"I believe that 1 am bound as a man, acitizen and a ehtistian to do all.I-can inthe use of all means not contrary to theword 'i God,, to efl'ect its iinmediate' and

6. 'You are opposed to Colinization andwouldl not send emancipated negroes out olthe United 'Sta'tes. But y'on, wouldiurnthree millionseo nuegroes. with, all theitvices and habits of idlenesaloose upon 'thewhite community ofthe South.'

7. 'You say, "as s1qve holdinig is wrong,'and as every slave has 'a right to. himaceiand his liberty~slave holders are of right en-titlerd to no enmn.enation for theirslaves.'

,8. "If the slave holder is entitledr compensation it must consist in prisons-

stocks-thunb screws--gags-mrir-il;knives:- branding irons-bloody whips-iron yokea-gall chains-and all other totures ofbody and mind, for time and etenity.'.

r 9. "Let the North say with an emphisis that cannot be misunderstood,. thislavery must be.aholished, or the Uniot ldissolved. It is against this usurper (sltvery) we would lend her panoplied in thprinciples of 16 combating unto death, fethe right and the true spirit of libeity4'

10. "Slave iolJers are Thieves-Rdbbers-Pirates, and ire deserving of a Pirate's death."Thus, sir, have I arrived at the devel

opment of your plans. beginning with youdeep hypocrisy or. atlected pity for, thslave, -and proceeding step by step to thinfliction of every possible variet'of "tortures of.body and mind" on the siuve ho[der. And not satisfied with what youmalignity could inflict on hint within thecircumscribed limits of life's duration, ywould follow him if yoti could, into theregions of the .damned to inflict on hiuaggravated 'tortures' in hell.. To reconcileyour partizaus -to such horrid scenes, .ocruelty and butchery and to induce thento co-operate with you, to carry out youpurposcs, you have dicessed up the slaveholder-in a fancy robe upoti .s hich youhave painted "Stocks-thumb. screws-gags-bloody , .whis--yokes--chains-marking knives lbranding irons," &c.and over all .havognscribed in capital let-ters, "Woasx' TuAs, ixDVIL." Youhave entleavored tn press the mild andgentle. religion of the Saviour of meninto your service, by preaching up "SA Nc-TnFCATiOS"rTro such a horrid purpose.You-have scatterel "fire brands, arrowsand death" into churches, representingthnsechurches as too impure for the purityof your party. You have avowed an op-positiou to the Constitution and Lawsofthe United States and'rejected the decis-ions of her highest Judicial tribunal withdisdain. You lave expressed a determi-natinn to disregard -the .rights of others, ifthose rights cone. in, conflict with yourviews. You aim at the dismembermenofthe Union, and have hoisted the bloodyflag as the sigul of attack. And to giveyour views dnd principles the.greater cur-

rency.with the ignora:t a'id unsuspecting.you call ydirself and .your-party "THETanE Wt I.kANs" 0 what a misno-mer-what a'crime !! But you will say,perhaps, that I mis.represent you. If I dhso, you, have the means and the ability tocorrect tny..mistakes. Disavow the prem-ises-disavow the conclusions if you can.There is no need for me stirely to court theimagination to lend her aid, when youhave expressed' your object as plainly as

language can express it. Great God ! andis this the man who affects to be movedwith. pity to one class of his fellow men,whilst he is meditating the utter destruc-tion of another? ,-Is this the man who as-sumes the character of the minister of thePrince of Peace whilst he carries theincendiary's. torch in one hand and the as-sassin's knife in tie other, Rather mightI nut say, you seam to have studied thecharacter of-the leaner of the insurrectionin St. Domingo, awl to. be determined tomake every trait in his character yourown. Nat 'urner, the wholesale murder-er of Virginia professed to have receivedinstructions from. God, and to have hadthose instructions confirmed by a miracle,to massacre the inhabitants of Southa-np-tan, but Nat Turner never said "slave hotders are worse than. the Devil;".-he knewtheni too.: well and had too much goodsense to make such a- declarat ion. You. sir,have the honor of making this discovery,and this-declaration ---Acting, however,undelfr the same blind and fanatic zeal ilinmNat Turner amed under.you :tive us r-son to ctonclude ilhat you think if you werein imitate his conduct you wouldl be doiingGod and his cautse service. Noi need, then,of aty flights of fanicy to represent houseslaitd itt ashes by the torch of the incendia-ry-to describe the flight of the young andbeautiful female from-the pursuit of her de-stroyer-to tpIl of-the indiscriminate mas-sacre of all classes and of all ages, fromrthe hoary matron to the sucking infant-all these things and a thousand more wvhiceicannot be told have been-transacted in.St.Domingo, and in Southamjiton within theperiod ofmyown recnllection, and all thesethings are to he acted overg.again if youand your party an only su'cceed in yonplans. - .

Whens Bgjlaidad kinig of Syr-ia watsick,: he. sent.taZael an officer in his armsto Elisha thie proph'et..10,- enquire .tf heshould recover. WVhen l-iazael came, theprophet looked steadfastly .in his face-blushed-and wept. Hazael said."whyweepeth tmy lord ?" The prophet answered "boecause:l-knowy "the evil thou wilt dcunto the children of Israel,- their :strongholds .wilt thou set on fire-andi the ilyoung men wilt thou slby with the swort-and wilt .dash thiir chidyen-and ripurtheir women with- child." -And Hazassaid, "But what ! is thy servant adog tha,he should dqg this great thing 1" To whisijthe prophet mildlg jeplied-"tho-:LAorchth sheweJUme-that thou wilt be kinj

over Syria." As if hs-lad said -1 see yetare a -proud:mnan and love, to. rule-ayoupride will make you an unjust-man-you~)Thjstice wiilnk6 youi cruel-and. yon

cruelty, for [your own- safe~ty, will.miakiyou a trionster. Accordingly after'horeturned to his-master -his, frst word 'wasLie-and his first act-was the hastening a.the death of his Sovereign by-sufocationAnid on he went from crime to crime, tilinotwithstandine the horror ho had ijtst be

o fore;manifested: at the bare recital.of-the.crimes which blisha told him be-uould-commit, he perpetrated everycrimewhichhad been foretold, by, the,:prophet withoutany compunction and without any re-morse.

I offer no pologjMr Lee, for thefrankness or severity of my remarks : for

t it is no timetq bge eriinging or- apolugisinge. when my house is in -a blaze; over my

head, and the murderer's dagger ispointed'e at my heart. Aly only concern is, lestr thousands who are abolitionists should ap-

ply to themselves the.. remarks which Ithave intended in this letter, exclusivelyforyou and yourparty. I distinguish betweenanti-slavery men, and abolitionists likeyourself; for although-tho' former believeslavery to be an evil, they: ivild- not heaccessary to an injury to .slaviholders, Hmuch less would they encourage by theifwritings the massacre df the master for itiesake of the slave.. This it appears'tondris not the case with you and others'ofyourstamp. for the whole tenor ofyour writingsis to bring about such a result. -If, how.ever, the day should ever unfortunatelyarrive when the'aid of anti:sldefy'.enivilf be iyanted to quiet. a Southein insu-rection, I have no doubt from; ',vhat has-saken .place.
