I recting or controlling? No; we have to deal with an evil which is the growth of centuries, and of tens of centuries; which is almost cheval with the deluge; which has existed under different modifications since man was man. Do gentlemen, in their passion for legislation, think that, after only thirty years' discussion, they can now at once manage as they will the most unmanageable perhaps of all subjects? or do we forget, sir, that in fact not more than thirty years have elapsed since we first presumed to approach even the outworks of this great question? Do we, in the ardour of our nascent reformation, forget that, during the ages which this system has existed, no preceding generation of legislators has ventured to touch it with a reforming hand; and have we the vanity to flatter ourselves that we can annihilate it at a blow? No, sir, nówe must be contented to proceed, as I have already said, gradually and cautiously.-p. 20. 1་ If we are to do good (which I earnestly hope and sincerely believe we may), it is not to be done by sudden and violent measures; but by efforts of a patient and comparatively tame character; by measures slow in their progress, but steady and sure in their operation; measures which must be carried into effect, not by a few individuals of rare talents and conspicuous zeal, but by the great body of those whom the advocates of the negro distrust and seem disposed to put aside. Yes, sir, if the condition of the slave is to be improved, that improves ment must be introduced through the medium of his master. The masters are the instruments through whom and by whom you must act upon the slave population; and it, by any proceedings of ours, we shall unhappily place between the slave and his master the barrier of insur mountable hostility, we shall at once put an end to the best chance of emancipation, or even of amendment.-Instead of diffusing gradually over those dark regions a pure and salutary light, we may at once kin dle a flame only to be quenched in blood.'—p. 31. To these sentiments we give our most unqualified assent. We will not weaken them by a commentary; but we would implore those who appear to us, on this subject, unconsciously to blend their passions and their prejudices with their benevolence, to listen to the warning voice which speaks in the foregoing passages, so splendid in diction and so irresistible in argument If they do not, instead of diffusing gradually over those dark regions a pure and salutary light, they will kindle a flame oply to be quenched (if ever quenched)-in blood!' In the Article on Faux's Memorable Days in America,' (Q. R. No. LVIII.) a passage was introduced from that work reflecting on the reputation of the lady of Mr. Law. We have since been fully satisfied that every part of the statement in which she is mentioned is devoid of truth; and we therefore take this opportunity of express ing our regret that a calumny so unfounded should have been unwittingly copied ino our pages Now we have mentioned this Article, we may add, that in saying, it was not men, tioned by what means, Mr. Law acquired his immense property in India, there was no thought whatever of impeaching his integrity. We know no more of Mr. Law than Faux tells; and merely meant to say, that nothing was to be found in his work respecting the capacity in which Mr. Law acted in India, or the situation which he held.
