eastern Airica--wilh the view Of establish
ing colonies there, and even TO restore, sub.
stantlally, the slave trade ITSELF under the
speclOus name Of Transporting free labOFeEs
from Africa TO her West India possessions,
in order, il possible, to compete successfully
with those who have refused 10 follow her
suicidal policy. But these ell afford but
uncertain and distant hopes of recovering
her lost superiority. Her main reliance e
on the other alieFnative-lO cripple or de-
stroy the productions Of her successful r.
walls. There is but one way by which &
can be done, and that 10 by aboIishing AZ
rican slavery throughout this conliDenl;
and that she openly Ovows 70 Dc The con-

masters not how, or from what motive, L
may be done whether il be by diplomacy,
influence, or force, by secret or open
means; and whether the motive be humane
or selfish, without regard TO manner, meane,
or motive. The thing itself, should il be-
accomplished, would put down all rivalry,
and give her the undisputed supremacy in
supplying her own wants and those of the
rest of the world; and thereby more than
fully retrive what she has lost By her er.
fors. II would give her the monopoly Of
tropical productions, which / shall next
proceed to show.
What would be the consequence il this
OBJECT OF her unceasiOg sOlicilude and exeF-
tons should be effected by the abolition Of
negro slavery throughout this continent,
sumo idea may be formed from the inn
mense dimiuutiOh Of productions as has
been shown, which has followed abolition
in her West India possessions. But, as
great ns that has been, it is nothing COM
pared with what would be the effect If she
should succeed in abOIisbing slavery 10 the
United States, Cuba, Brazil, and through.
out this continent. The experiment 10 her
own colonies was made under the most
favorable circumstance. II was brought
about gradually and peRceably, by the slea-
dy and firm operation Of the parent cOun-
Try, armed with complete power TO prevent
or crush at once all insurFecGonary moVe-
ments on the part of the negroes, aud able
and disposed 10 maintain to the full the POI
lltical aud social ascendancy Of the former
masters ever their former slaves. Il is moi
al eli wo1oerful that the change Of the Fos
ialions Of master and slave took place un-
der such circumstances, Without violenco
and bloodshed, and that order end peace
should have been since preserved. Very
different would be the result Of abOliliOnD
should il be effected by her influence and
exertions in tie possessions Of other coune
tries on this coniineni--and especially ia
the United States, Cuba, and Brazil, the
great cuitvators Of the principal tropical
productions Of America. To form CDR.
rect, conception Of what would be- the re-
suit with them, we must look, not 10 Jama~
Tea, but TO St. Domingo, for example. The
change would be followed BY unfoEgiVing
hate between the two races, and end 10 3
bloody and deadly struggle between them
for the superiority. One or the other would
have to be aubirgaied, extiFpated, or expel.
