O. A. Brownson, whom some have lnbbed "Philosopher Brownson," has given his views and feelings upon the inilienable riglits of men, in the following hort parngraph, taken Oom his philosoihic ogitations. It fully Ilústrales the dejiravity ef his nature, and is strongevidence against his claims as a true philosopl.er. His "henrt is hard in iia'.ure. and unfit F.ir human lellowship, as lieing voiil Of sympnthy, nncl tin refore dea I aüke To !ove nmj friendship both." - "We have no symp.-ithy with the Aboiiionists; we entertain nol fura moment even one of tlieir fundnmantnl principies. Man, we are ready lo maintain, may have property in man, a valid rig'it to the services of his slave - though no dominion over his soul ; slivery is oot mal urn in se, and in no case unjustifiable ; there is nothing in slavery that necesa:ily prevents ilie slovcholder from being a Irue and pious Chrisiian ; nnd wliere the master is a true Chrisiian, and inkr-s care ihut his peopl' are instrucf'd nn-l !ronght u; n the true Christian fuiih and worship, slavery is tolerable, anl for neg roes, [erI aps even more than tolerable." "True and pious Cliristi'ns" sl.ivcholder ! ! Tlmt will do, philosopher Brownson. The ncgToes that yon so ruin h deride, ure possessed uf more na ilineí-s than was ever dreamed of in your philosnphy. - True Dsm. SlX LkCTIRES US TUK LsKS OF THE Lungs: and C lusePrave'ition anrl Cure of Consump'.ion. Asthmn,and Diseases of the Heart; on the laws of Longevily ; & on the mode of preserving male and fripate Iltnlth to an Hundred Ynar.-i. By Samuel Sheldo.n Fitch, A. Al., M. D. This is the title of a work of 324 pages wliich lns been IniJ upon our table. We have not hnd time to re.id it through: but the more we have read in V, ïhe Ijeiter we like it. The nuthor professes to hav; Hovoted 20 yenrs to examination and praclise upon diseases of the Lungs; and has pursued his investigations in Europe as weli as in this country. II e takes the ground thnreJwjsumption, in its first stages, is as curable as musí other diseases: not by calóme!, however, nor narcoiies, nor tartar emetic piasters that eat holes througli the breast. These and kindred modes of hartening the human family to the grave througli the usual regular and scientific pracliceof the healing art, he objures to a a great extent; trusting, much more for cures to plain diet and living, much aetion in th upen air, frequent ablutior.s, an expansivo exercise of the chest, arrd a strengthening rpgimen. The history of the cases given is not calculated lo tnuch increase our reverence for the virtues of the medical art. Histwo lectures "to ladiesonly" cannot fa il of being serviceable to all who read them. He tries to persuade the fair sex ihat high health aud engaging] beauty are almost synonymous terms, and givesmnny excellent directions to iadies for preserving and improving health. - The once fashionable mode of self murder by tight lacing the author repróbales as not only injurious, but exeedingly vulgar: and recommends the cullivation of a full round, and handsome bust, by aiming at an erect carriage, straight shoulders and prominent and well inflated lungs. The work is wriiten in good style, and has 28 engravings. For sale at Perry's Bookstore. Tlie price is 50 cents.
