einen OF question Of such uanscendaut importance,
But deny the truth Of the position how wouI II enb,n.
the value Of negroes The Of labor does moi deoaod
upon the quantity OF production the value of the pto

supply the demand Of the worid-snd you produce 30
OOO,OOO will there be surplus Of 900 600 and n,
Tar from that surplus increasing the aggregate value Of tho
whole does not greatly diminish renson of the sum-
ply being greatly beyond the demand and not the sup
ply already equal 10 the demand, il fur beyond it, Al
this moment there 500 900 bales of cotton in the Euro
Pean markets on hand and while VI bale, /, the
amount estimated To meet ali the demand The nrs.sn,
is estimated at2 OO0-whch with the 800 6O in bsnd
makes surplus OF supply equal 370 OOO-ond either
worth in the New Orleans market only about ceot- but
they say the consumption will be increased answer we
have the means already the above will shew the

sanctioned by the law, but by law is punishable South
ern men, and southern members OF Congress- have done
TO cndanger the institution slavery and bv dese
too. To effect political Objects all the unaided msch
