Indeed this is a most ungrateful task to the master. He is so much accustomed to speak to them in the rough tone of sternness and authority, that it requires an effort most revoking to his feelings, to assume the kind and gende accents of a christian teacher. Intemperance and theft are vices to which the colored population of the south are very much addicted ; so much so, that it is proverbially said that they are constitutionally inclined to these vices. But the undoubted fact is, that they ar...e no more predisposed to them constitutionally, than white men would be in the same circumstances. Finally, in respect to the moral condition of slaves, it should be remembered, that there are no laws regulating marriage among them. An apology for a marriage ceremony is sometimes attempted among the higher order of ' house servants ;' — is celebrated, perhaps, by a minister of the gospel or a civil magistrate ; but even 12 then, it has no legal validity, and may continue only so long as shall suit the caprice of the parties or the convenience of the master.
