bloated power. She sees that the labor
saving machinery, which the Americans
are inveniing so EAST, will be in their hands
the long talked of lever Of Archimcdcs, and
that slave labor of the south affords the
tulcrum TO rest the lever upon. She sees
that the American negro by working in the
sun, and the white man with his labor
saving machinery in the shade. will ere

She knows that the natural tendency OF
capital in all countries and under all kinds

England has se.all the world ID CRYING Out
against the evils of slavery, but she knows
that no republican government can long
stand without it. Columbia irll a. soon a.
Bolivar, iiauered by her councils, aimed at
being a greater patriot than Washington,
by aDoiishing slavery. She knows that
negro slavery IN the south j. The American
LaOOrer's sure gurantcc that his wages shall
never be depressed below, or even down %
level with his wants. She knows thaf
the intelligence and comforts OF the Ameri-
can labOrer, over her lahorers, are mainly
owing 10 the higher wages paid i'll America,
and that negro slavery and jIidicious dis
eliminating tariff cooperate in keeping up
the wages oi labor IA tlic United Statcs.-
She knows that good wages il, ,Lhc very life
and essence of American democracy, and
hence she wishes TO PROSTATE both slavery
and the dcmocTauc protective principle
established by the old republican Congress.
she dAnows that in Mexico, where the tariff
is notof the democratic kin!i viz: A rcvcnlc
competition tariff, and where slavery has
been abolished, the wages of labor arc a.
low as they are in Europe; and consequently
that sparse population i not the cause,
as some contend, Of the high wages in ihe
United States.
t. The slave holding interests and tie man.
uiaciuring interests are Identical, when pro-
perly understood. Both are great pillars
IN our form OF government, which must be
sustained. Hence the ardent, unsuitable
desire OF England, acting on the system oi
tactics which enabled her to conqreF India,
TO array the one against the other, and use
every means TO cause both 70 fall. The
south is as much interested. or even more
so than the north in maintaining the discrim-
mating protective policy 10 the full extent
Of the revenue rs established by the OH r.
publican Congress. 1t was TO sustain this
principle that andrew Jackson drew the
sword against his native State. The sword
fell not. The yawning gulf o. horizontal
ism closed its Jaws. America had a Curtius
as well as Rome.
