-Every slave-irader deals inthe aoula as well as the bodies of men. The intellect and the feelings constitute a port of thevalue of a slave. Hear Dr. Brisbane on this subject: ';I know it ie said, that the slaveholder claims no property in the foul, but only in the bodily service of the slave. But this is not true. Por if you could put the mind of a brute into the body" of the slave, nis value would not be the eighth part of the price of a horüe. Whereas elaves, commonly bring the price of 8 or 10 horses. It. is iherefore plain the Blaveholder buys the rational of the slave. This is what he wants; the intelligent principie, the hnman understanding, the God-image in the man. he wants that wbich makes the slave capable of gviiding his horses and directing his plotifirh. . It is therefore plain that the human soul is the thing which is purchased."The Eeaex Co. (Mass.) Women's Conference have issued a circular letter to the 'Women of the South,' on the subject of slavery. OThe reception of the 'Address to Trishmen' in this country, has reached Leían d, nnd indignantcomments appcnr in the Irish p-ipers in reference to the action of our Irish meetings npon it. The Dublin Monitor, snys of the Potisville meeting which denounced the Address as n vile fabrication, deserving only of contempt: "Alasi alas! that there should have been founda single Irishrnon or descendent of the Emerald Isle to take hand. act, or part in such flimsy, miserable resolutions." At a meeting of the Committee of the Hibernion A. S. Society in Dublin, May 5, they resolved as follows: lst, That we have heard, with a feeling of muagled eorrow and indignation. that some portíon of our countrymen now resident in America, have not only declined lo respond to our appeal to aid the abolitioniats in their righteous endeavora, hut have questioned the genuineness oi' the Anti-SJavery Address from Ireland, bearing the signatures of 60,000 of their countrymen and countrywomen. - - 2d. That we cannot believe euch unworthv nc tion can extend fu'ther than to a few, who have become tainted with the accursed spirit of slave ry: and that we cali on all who really cherish the spirit of hberty, to brand the conduct of their repróbate countrvmen as it deserves
