WHEAT'S PHILOSOPHY OF SLAVERY.

In the month of February, 1863, this work appeared from the Louisville Press; and among intelligent men, who look back to the great organic law to see in it the organic causes which, in all ages, have given rise to effects, it has received a liberal patronage. This system of treating of slavery is novel, and it is unlike that of other authors upon the same subject. The work is divided into three parts: The first part treats of the intelligence and progress of Americans: of the American colonies; of their choice of laborers; of their natural discernment of the physical condition of those destined to serve them in obedience to organic law; of the introduction of Africans by the Dutch as slaves; of the Indian lands being common property to the new Discoverers; of the motives of those forming settlements in America; of the Divine Right of the Europeans to the wild lands of America, though inhabited by Indians; of slavery in the old countries; of the slavery of the colored races as being natural; of the treatment of slaves; of the missionary spirit of the slave-holders; of the imitation of slaves, in point of religious culture, to their masters; of constitutional law, and of the interpretation of constitutional terms; of the President's September Proclamation; of its effects being likened to the merciless Raid of the Blacks of San Domingo in the year 1791.

The second part treats naturally, physiologically, ethnologically, and organically, of all subordiate and inferior organized bodies to man, both in the inanimate and animate kingdom, showing that all matter before the order of creation was begun, was nothing but chaos; thereby proving the design of God as he advanced class by class in the order of his creation. Seeds and the growth from them were creatad before animals were, which would necessarily have to feed on them. Therefore, inanimates are inferior to animates.

In the creation there is a link between the vegetable and the animal creation, as in the sensitive plant and the polypus. From the latter to man, the Caucasian Ruler, we trace through the natural sciences the formstion of distinct classes made out of matter, with powers of reproduction, resembling themselves, rising step by step in their physiognomies till we
