This week we accede to the wish of Dr j Caulkins to present his favorite system as j remedy for Slavery. As theaiticle is wel wiiUen,&, presents important trnlhs, we leav its imin argument to the consideraüon of ou readers, merely entering o: ir protest agains two erroneous positions. Tiie first is, that the free laborer of Eng land is jn a worse condition than the Slav laborer of the South. A comparison of th condition of tlie two classes wil) show tha the English operativos, however poor and op pressed, have man}7 more sources of happines than the Slaves. They own themselvcs, thei yivee, and children: they are not liable to for cible separation from them-, they are quite a well, and probably betler clothed, red ani housed; their persons and properry are protected by law from violence; they enn liavi an impartial trial by jnry ; they have botter opportunities for intellectual cultivation and cligious itiiprovement, they can attain to Ihc i highest eituation in society; and if dissatisfiet with their own country, they can leavo it ior any other portion of the globe. In these, and many more respects, they have the advantage of the Slaves. We are told that slavery is not a political, but a social evil. We need noí argue the case to prove it to be social and political. It is political, because it is established by law; because it has a share in the adminislration of the government, viz: 25 Reprosentaüves in Congress, whose influence extends to the remotest log cabin in the nation. The Fourierists, according to their own .ysteni, mvst be anti-slavery men; andif they have dircovered a better mothod ofattacking the monster than we pnrsue, we shall not throw obstocles in their way. We w9h them succpss. But we must follow our present course till we find one more effect ual. ÍX?3 Ii issuspected by many that the pretended zeal of the Texans for emancipation was all concocted at New Orleans for the purpose of amusing the North for a fia months mtil President Tyler and the Sonate shall ake the bantling into the Unbn under the vrm of a treaty. We have nol sufficient ight on the subject to enable us to have a lecided opinión upon the matter: but the tudlennes? of the announcement looked sespicons, If the movemeot be gennine, satisfucory cvidence of it wiil soon appear.'
