ABOLITION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
IDEAS OF MAHOMEDAN AND HEATHER
NATIONS-TEXAS

In and OF itself, IT is certainly desirable that where
there are not Complicated circumstances to justify
the contrary, all should be free, of whatever
complexion or language. But this is a question
wholly different from presented by circumstances
Of very complex character. And where seryitude
exists with extensive freedom in nation at large,
the operation Of free principles may be expected, IN
process Of time, to wear away every obstacle pre-
ventve Of general liberty.
IL seems strange that those who ayow the design
Of abolition throu. bout the world, should not yet
have avowed the intention TO attack in their strong.
holds certain prncples-whicha long they exist
must ever be directly productive Of slavery in very
large portion Of the globe. Such principles univer.
sally prevail among the Mahomedan population Of
and twenty millions Of inhabitsnts- Computing with
"o'' - shole population of the Globe at 737
mhions-which appears 10 10 49,. nearest the tr,th
this constitutes very nearly one-sixth of its whole
population, inhabtng some OF the most fertile and
important countries and which, II they can be sub
ducd or brought under the operation Of sound princl-
pies Of Government, not likely to be so subiuga
ted or influenced for many years to come.
But such principles rredominate also among one
half, at least Of the heather population Of the world
Taking the mean estimate Of Graberg and b. hi this
population amounts to three hundred and hlty-one
millions, Of which the one-half is one hundred and
and seventy-hve millions five hundred thousand.
