In the Plaindealer, in common with the leading moral and politicalsubjects of the day, that of slavery was freely discussed in all itsbearings. It is difficult, in a single extract, to convey an adequateidea of the character of the editorial columns of a paper, where terseand concentrated irony and sarcasm alternate with eloquent appeal anddiffuse commentary and labored argument. We can only offer at random thefollowing passages from a long review of a speech of John C. Calhoun, inwhich that ex...traordinary man, whose giant intellect has been shut out ofits appropriate field of exercise by the very slavery of which he is thechampion, undertook to maintain, in reply to a Virginia senator, thatchattel slavery was not an evil, but "a great good. " "We have Mr. Calhoun's own warrant for attacking his position with allthe fervor which a high sense of duty can give, for we do hold, from thebottom of our soul, that slavery is an evil, --a deep, detestable, damnable evil; evil in all its aspects to the blacks, and a greater evilto the whites; an evil moral, social, and political; an evil which showsitself in the languishing condition of agriculture where it exists, inparalyzed commerce, and in the prostration of the mechanic arts; an evilwhich stares you in the face from uncultivated fields, and howls in yourears through tangled swamps and morasses.
