American slavery, and supporting polit-
ical gamblers for Office. Well hath God
said, "0hen the Wickcd bear rule The 0eo.
pie mOura." Yes. your pockets, YOUR
children, your schools oflearning, YOUR
churches, your benevolent institutions.
are all now languishing and suffering, as
the result.
The South have got the fruit of North
ern labor in a great variety of ways, and
will continue to do so as long as slave
ry exists. Take the following example
as an Illustration; Mr.. A. is consider
ed a man of property, and buys Of the
farmers of Vermont 100000 pounds of
wool, on credit; aud, in years past, on
an average at 40 cent per pound or
$4,000. He sells it to a large manu-
featuring establishment in Massachu-
sets on credit who make it into cloth
and send the cloth, valued at 10000 dol
lars, to a commission merchant in New
York, who sells one half to two differ
ent Southern merchants. He sells tho
other half to Wholesale iobbcrs in the
city of New York, in large quantities on
credit; and these Jobbers for tie sako
Of great profits, sell to different mer-
chants at the South. One half Of these
southern merchants fail, and the com
mission merchant, if he has warrante d
these southern notes, as be often does,
fails; the New York jobbers fail, and il
falls back on the manufacturing COM
pany, which fails, and of course, Mr..
A. who has bought the wool Of soma
four or five hundred farmers, fails, and
in the end, it comes out of the farmers
who have raised the wool, aud the la
horers who have manufactured it t.
clothe up y batch Of Southern Loalers
with broadcloth. VI, suppose MIR. a.
the wool buyer, gets endorsors and goes
to the bank and hires money to pay down
for the wool when tho other failures
occur, he had his endorsers fail, and it
is as efectually drawn out OF the labor
of the Green Mountain boys as though
he had bought on credit. Think Of
these thinks when you are sweating oyet
tho scythe and sheep-shears, and don't
forget them when you 60 to the ballot
box. 1t has been ascertained that the
town Of Lynn. Mass, has, during the
last fifteen years, credited the South to
The amount o three million dollars, new
er to be paid, for shoes and boots alone.
Look at another source oftaxation as the
consequence ofthat impoverishing slave
labor system. 1t renders them incom-
petent to bear their proportion of the
expenses of the General Government
Hence 1866, 666 dollars out of every
$4,000, 900 that the government expends
which is their constitutional D
tion--is, IN Jact, if not in form, thrown
annually upon the free labor portion of
the country. Nothing is palmer than the
fact, that if the slave labor system does
not support itself, it cannot do a farthing
towards meeting its proportion of gov
ernmental expenses. Besides, then,
supplying the deficiencies Of their inn
poyerishing system, amounting to many
millions annually, you are compelled to
pay more than 100000 dollars an
nualIy for them into the nations treas
ury. Have we nothing to do with slave
~: And has slavery no connection
with the bankruptcies, arrangements,
and evils under which the people groan?
Should we be suffering to the extent we
now are, could we have saved these i'm
suns sunk in the abyss Of slave
ry, for its support?
This is not all. When your money
has filed the treasury, 4OlO has it been
Appropriated? To pay Southern dcs-
pots for welding the vast powers Of the
government to destroy your Liberties,
and interests. Look at the fol-
lowing facts.
Fee s%Iayeho'din presidents have re-
100000 dollars from the treas
ury, while three Northern Presidents
have only received 100000.
