Mr.. MoRsE's LETTER ON SLAVERY
We yesterday met for the first time tho
letter of Isaac Il. Morse, the representa-.
tive IN Congress from the Fourth District
OF Louisiana, on the subject of abolition
or rather some extracts from it--in the
Augusta Constiiutionalist. 1t is spirited
production. The several positions which
he assumes are forcibly put, and on indie
pendent tone runs through the whole
which is thoroughly Southron. We trans
crlbe the following passage:
at will no doubt be frankly admitted
thai there is no danger, however we may
extend the area of slavery South, of our
forcing slavery upon any free State, if we
had the power, and therefore, the sin
alone is on our own heads. | have never
had doubt but that the whole of this
movements of foreign origin. England
knows that this is the only possible weak
point in the Union, and if she could induce
separation of the States, she must be
greatly benefited by such an event Who
does the carrying trade for the South the
millions OF bales of cotton, the hundreds
of thousands of hhds. of Tobacco, of sugar.
of rice, besides the return price of all
this produce in English and American
manufactures, besides the profits which
you make in the mandatory of the cot
ion of the South? Why, New England de.
ryes more profit from the supplying the
slave States with the commerce of her
soil than the slave States do themselves
| have no reliable statistics abou, me, but
| do not hesitate TO assert that The reve-
nues received in New England from the
product Of slave articles is greater than
the valve of the articles themselves. Let
Maine answer, with her Overwhelming
tonnage. Let every town and rill in New
England respond. But perhaps it is tho't,
you can raise three millions of bales Of
cotton, half million of hhds. tobacco,
two or three hundred thousand hhds. of
sugar and rice, with free labor, and you
can yet get this trade. Go and try il We
hardy mouniaineers of New England 1t
is false, as is pretended, that you are ex-
Guided from any country by the Missouri
compromise. Go and cultivate California,
Mexico, and if you want free States so
decide-nothing can prevent it.
81 despise cant of every kind, and
say that al leust for myself, aud 1 have no
doubt that speak the voice of the entire
South, that we will never permit our slaves
TO be liberated, directly or indirectly pre-
sent or prospectively, without making the
best resistance we can, and that we would
rather die in the last ditch than surrender,
not our property, but the principle on
which we hold ii.
"You can never take our property with.
out our lives; but let me say what you
can do, and what, if you persist in break
ing all agreements and compromises on
The subject, you will do--you will make
the tenure by which we hold our property
so unstable that the advantages of the
Union cease to be of value, and when
that day comes tell you whatwe can dol
we can make treaty with England,
or any other nation in Europe, by which
the right to our slaves shall never be
questioned, and by which we can receive
all the manufactures Of England at a
reasonable duty, and she win buy our
cotton, do our carrying trade, and in fact
become TO us what New England is now
and such step the South Can take in six
weeks, and the English navy would be
ready and willing to defend such treaty
If reciprocity, if necessary"
