PREFACE. The undersigned herewith introduce the correspondence
between them, which gave rise to the debate in which they have been
engaged, and which is substantially contained in the following
pages. In presenting the following work to the American public, no
apologies are offered. Me live under a Government which tolerates
liberty of thought, liberty of speech, and freedom of the press and
in this ex pression of our honest views and feelings-differing
widely as we do - upon the subject of Domestic Slavery in the
United States - a subject relating to the general welfare of the
country, we are but exercising a right which belongs to every
American R citizen. The age of proscription for opinions sake, is4
past, and, as me trust, never again to return. The liberal genius
of our free institutions, allows to all unrestricted interchange of
thought and sentiment while mens opinions are received or rejected,
accord ing as they possess merit or demerit For the imperfections
of this volume, the undersigned offer no apology. The Lectures of
each mere prepared for the occasion, under the pressure of other
important, and frequently distracting avocations. We both claim to
have spoken honestly, and with a sincere desire to do good. . One
of us a Southern man, the other a Northern man-both prejudiced, as
me frankly admit, at least to some extent, in our educations,
habits, and associations, in favor of the institutions, and usages
of the respective section of the country me hail fromthe reader
will appreciate our principles and opinions, as he may deem them
entitled to favor. W. G. BROWNLOW. ABRAMPR PNE. PHILADELPH Se I p A
t., 14,1858. l PRELIMINARY CORRESPONDENCE. Prom the KnoxvilIe Whig.
OURDISCUSSION IN SEPTEMBER. THE reader will see from the following
correspondence, that the battle spoken of in many of the
newspapers, comes off on Tuesday, the seventh of September, in the
city of Philadelphia, between the Editor of this paper and Rev.
Abram Pryne, a Congregational minister, and the Editor of an
anti-slavery paper, published in McGrawville, Courtland county, New
York, styled the Central Reformer. The following challenge appears
in his Reformer for March 10, 1858. REV. MR. BROIVNLOTV AND
SLAVERY. The public will remember that this gentleman has
challenged the friends of freedom in the North to debate with him
the merits or demerits of slavery. His very elaborate challenge has
not been accepted, unless it be n conditional acceptance, from
Frederick Douglas. I now propose to reduce the question to a single
proposition, sweeping the entire area of the subject, and in that
form I challenge him to its discussion. The proposition I would
state as follows - Ought American Slavery to be abolished This
question to be reversed when the debate is half through, and to be
stated as follows - Ought American Slavery to be perpetuated l 6
IIe may sclect the time and place of holding the debate. I only
stipulating that it shall be in the State of New York, and that I
shall have four weeks notice between his acceptance of my
cliallenge and the commencement of the debate. As my name may not
have reached him, I may state that like Mr. Brownlow I am a
clergyman, and an editor, and will take the liberty to refer him to
Hon. Gerritt Smit, h, Ilon. J. H. Gid dings, Dr. Mark IIopkins,
