u relation of master and .servant txintril
lietwcen the Jews and (Jeiit l. s, wlnre the
tlentilo held the J(w, 0ii of (.Jod's ehosm
peojilr, nnd ns " neiiln r .Muses, Christ, or
tho AposlKs" (in the lanynajje of Corn
wall) "cvtrnaid a word in condemnation
of it," it U tcrlpturul for a heathen to own
a Christian, mid, in ease Im isn't rodemied
by some other imtMavcry Christian, the
master may dispose of him " ns other prop
rrty." ll is a tleitr ease, in which a t'ltib-
uble descendant of Hum, on iieconnt of his
great wealth, became lawfully seized of
probable (leseetiilant of Shcm, wl;o was
liroiight to servitude by great povertv. It
thus seems to follow that poverty is a'erime
or misfortune of npial nisgnitmlo with the
other great mum or misfortunt ofbein?
descended from Hunt. If Xoslt, at .the
fame time lie cursed Canaan, also cursed
the poor, and consigned theru all to slavery
.together, that part of the prediction isu't
retarded, but the f.ict that pwr pious peo
ple weru sold, being reconled " without a
word of condemnation," it seems to remove
the d llii tiltifs over which iiro slsverv lutr-
sons have hitherto stumbled in reconcilinir
the sale of irA-Ve Chritlians into slarcry
with Uible servitude. The only difficulty
we see in making the case Ct hat we call
'slavery,' is, that the poor man is plainly
tated to have sold or bargained kimttlf,
ml his poverty being mentioned in connec
tion with the wealth of his master, leads
one to suppoM that he bargained himself
(or lus labor) for a ton$'nlmfwn, and that
consideration ke received, and not man
who tit h;m np on the mctlon Wock and
W. 1. Adams,
kuoi ked him off tn thn highest bidder.
And Jiii-1 hen we lay it down as tn unan
swerable proiioit!oii, that In no tail did
in adult ever enter Into the condition of
servitude li gully monj the Jews, except
he did it rolvnlnrily, undfnra cnniiJcM
linn jml'l In kimvlf except in one caw,
as a punishment for crime. A thief might
be sold, provided ho had nothing Willi
which to iiinkii restitution, even if he had
stolen nothing but in old shirt; but that
he would have len sold as a 7ee, to la
the pniicrly of his iimsler, or even to mm
him In tiny rupfleily is long as he would
have been sold for if he had stolen a hun
dred cxrn, is an Infi-n-nri well worthy of
the logic, heart, and brains of the paron
wliojimtifl'-s sluviry from the lliblu by
quoting such passHges. (See Kx. 3, 4,
8, and D.)
Again, a iiKin might fu ll or bargain his
Jtiufihler, but never his sun. " If a mini
srll his daughter to bo a maid-servant, she
shall not go out us tho men-servants do.
If she plni-o not her muster who hath It
trnlhcl her In himielf, then shall ho let her
bo redeemed: to sell her uulo a itrunge
nation he shall hnvc no power, swing he
hath dealt deceitfully with In r. A ml if he
have betrothed her unto hit mm, he shull
deal with her 'i uiunnrr if aii
ten. If he Inky him aiiolln-r wife: her
food, Imt raiment, and In r duly f ""
ri'i fie shall he not diminish." IIx. 21 : 7, 8,
9, 10. Here we fin 1 that a purt of the
contract entered into by the master in buy
ing or bargaining for a maid-serviint, was
fir.-.t that he should pay tho father a sum
eii!valent to tho value of her services to
him during her minority, mid, secondly,
that at her arriving ut a suitable age, he
should make In r cither his own wife, or the
wife of one of his sons. The first part of
the contract was nude with the parent,
and thu hitter part with the daughter her
self nt least the contrary cannot be proven.
The contract being closed, she wa legally
and fully introduced into the condition of a
' muid-servaiit,' or what a pro-slim ry par
son would cull a 'shire,' ytt we hnd the
same law that instituted the relation pro
ided h'-r with o pirimmciit home, protect
ed her as wife or daughter, and settled a
duty of iiiarringu' or iuky upon her.
Not only this, but hi r children wero legal
inheritors of the parent cdate o:i thu same
footing with children by oilier wives, or
fivo women. Abraham hud Ishmael bv
llugar, n ' boud-woiiiau,' who was one of
his wives. lie also hud Isaac by Surah,
'fivo-woman,' his first wile. Sarah wish
ing her own son to inherit tho estate, suiii
to her lord, "Cast out tho boud-woinan
mid her son: for tho son of the bondwo
man shall not lu heir wilh the sou of tho
frec-womnn." d'al. 4: DO. This shows con
lusivcly that if Hagar mid Ishmnel hail
not not been sent oif. or 'vest out,' he
would have been n leijnl hrir of part of hi.
father's estate. A boml-maiJ, ti wife, hnv
in. ' a dower, and bcarinir children sitt'nj at
the same table with other children, sltx pin
in the sumo beds, enjoying the same privi
leges every way, and finally inheriting mi
eiiial share of the estate mid yet, accord
to lIcmiKi'utic parsons, "tlarcti, the
ubtolule im;ci7y of thur ma.:tes, and
liulde In be soil another ehalteti"
Isn't it u wonder that Mosm doesn't come
out of his tomb, braid the old raw hide or
purchmeiit on which his laws were written

While the law of .Moses allowed the
Jews to sustain the relation of master mid
servant to each other for no longer u peri
od than six years tit farthest, unless the
servant was determined to slnv longer, Hu-
lun- allowed them to covenant with heathen
or (ientilrs for n term of .service reaching
up to Ihe lillicth year, or general jubilee.
t'..i. .v.. i. ... i i
Hum in hiiiui men nmi my uoiid-nmiils
which thou shall have shall be of the hea
then that ure round about vou; of them
shall ye buy bond-men and hond-inuids,
And ye shall take them as mi inheritance
for your children niter yon, to inherit them
for a possession; they shall bo vour bond
men forever." Lev. ": 41, 4tl. "There
n.u (-1u.-Mi1.e17 parson, "unit shows
that they wero to be bond-men foreeer, and
that means uheaijt; so I believe I'll steal a
nigger, mid hold him us a slave forever."
Just stand back, sir! hands off! you're
most too keen for n nigger that you hare
shown no more title to than the nigger has
to you. Vou ure very willing to adopt a
"too rigid interpretation of Scripture"
when it serins to favor man-stealing. If
tho w ord " forever" means to all eternity,
then thoso poor boml iueu ore serving their
masters note, and will be to all eternity
whether iu heaven or he'l. Cornw all is the
on.v uiun we ever knew who makes slavery
reach into the Millennium but wo doubt
whether ht would be willing to preach the
doctrine that a pious servant would have
to follow a wicked master to hell to serve
him there. It would be a doctrine, how
ever, no more repugnant to humanity than
his present teaching. The longest that
' forever' in the wssago quoted could mean
would be during the natural life of the ser
vant. Then, again, Lmtmr was to be
proclaimed in tU year of jubilee, through-
out ill the land, to all the inhabitants
thereof. Lev. 23: 10. Xow take into con
sideration the fact that these 'servants'
were txvgM of themselves, mil that thev
could not sell even their own labor to ex
tend beyond the year of Jubilee, no matter
if that were only one yeur distant at the
time the contract was made, is also the
fact that the servants were to be their own
judges ai to whether their musters fulfilled
their part of the contract in u-ing them
kindly, and iu default of this they were
permitted to leove, and the people to whom
they fhd weri compelled to protect them,
and forbidden to deliver them up to their
musters, and wi lnvo a milder system ol
wrvitudu limn is known in ony country at
the present day. Hisidm, 110 country at
this day requires a rich man to marry his
maid servant, or uiiiko his sou marry her.
The pn'snge luit quoted means simply this,
when paraphrased, and no more; " In se
lecting your servants, yon m u 4 not take
them of your own poor brethren, as a gen
eral thing; but you must ussist your poor
brethren who offer to sell their lubor to pay
their debts or ruiso means to supjiort their
families, by dividing your substance with
them, lint you must tnko your servants
from uiaong the heathen; you and your
children must do this always, or forever."
We havo now shown that the Jewish
law, which was made for a peculiar people,
under peculiar circumstances, so fur from
Ju-tifying nn oppression of the poor, threw
orouud them stronger barriers of protection
from the iron hand of oppression than any
code of laws ever did or human cnuctiiient.
The stealing of men, the selling of llieui, or
the keeping of tiiciu fur the kidnapper, was
puiiMmblc. with death. The kind Ireul
meut of bond servants who sold themselves
to pay a debt or raise a sum in advance,
win abundantly secured by n law that ren
dered it imposMijiu to recover a Servant
that chose to leave his master. Kvcry-
wherein the Jewish authorities tho doc
trine is religiously inci.icatcd that the la
borer is worthy of ills hire, mid the author
of tho law r.prrseiils tho "cry of the la
borer ll.aihutli reupiddown your fields for
ruaghl'' as indicative of a wickedness in
Ihe employer that demanded the most con
dign punishment. The defrauding of the
poor laborer of the p.snlt of his own toil,
lite cheating him out of Irs wages, mid the
living on the unrequited labor of others', is
in the lliblu a criino prominent in the cat
egory of durk deeds of infamy. The word
"slavery" is the embodiment of an idea of
geometrical series of tt'.nw, which Wes
ley aptly culled " Ike turn ofafi eifaiuiei."
Having now suflicieiitlv examined the
Old Testament to show that the Almighlv
has built a wall of protection around his
poor IiiiiiIh so high that no kidnapping
k.ola ctin ever get over into the fuld, we
shall in our next article lako n glance ct
Ihe Xcw Testament, to see w hether there
is miy gap through which a kidnapping
parson could drug out n huiib there.
AxoTiii-it lli.i xiu:i:. Delusion seems to
havo 110 more political Htg'ieity thim n
goose. Ha is constantly making some
blunder that injures his purly und weuk'.-ns
his ow:i prospects. The l itest blunder is
the publication of tho silly f.i Is. hood that
Col. linker has come hero with thirty thou
Kind dollars to buy his way into the Uni
ted States Senate. Xow we happen to
know that Col. linker has no money
whatever, except a little he has saved from
lionet industry. If it were true that Col.
linker had thirty thousand dollars, or even
half that sum, which he w as willing to use
for the purposes mentioned, doesn't Delu
sion know that he could Lit v every black
vote iu the Legislnt ure with it, mid thus
r -nd r the chances of his election certain?
Delusion ought to bo too shrewd to adver
tise tho fact to his dough-faco brethren
that Col. Baker will give tlic-iu five hun
dred or a thousand dollars ee.ch for his
vole, when all of them know Hint the most
Delusion will be able to pay w ill be n bot

e havo been of tho opinion till tho time
that Delusion was trying to carry on the

KuUe, sir! We never altered a word of
your language, hut clipped it fioui your
paper Jut us you printed it, and then
proved to the satisfaction of every mail
wiio understand language that your teach
ings were precisely those of the Garrison
iuu abolitionists. Hut if you prefer to rank
among Muck Democrats, while you teaeh
abolitionism, you can choose your own com
pany. The tree of sectionalism here has
hut just two limbs the one n (jurrisoninii
limb, with many mi abolition Coon mi it,
and tho other n Jo Lane limb, with muny
a Democratic viKT 011 it. If yon choose
to cruwl down off tho limb where you be
long, mid tuketip with snukes, wo have no
objections. We generally fire into tho
poison tree of disuuioiiisni pretty much at
random, curing little whether wo bring
down an abolition Coon or a Democratic
viper. All the apology for the 'sharp hits'
Is, that it requires 'sharp shots' to hit vtry
imull game. Delusion calls our 'hits' 'low
und vulgar,' for the reason that a shot that
hits him must go very low down.
