1UE ABILITY OF THE SoUTH-Ihe following is
taken from the New York Journal Of Commerce,
a paper OF the first commercial standing in the
United States, and which has dared in the
very face Of abo,onism 10 do justice the South
and to warn fanatics on the wrongs they w-r.
perpeiratpg. II remarks IN continuation Of an
argurnens upon this subj-ct:
"Again it is said by some that the South, with
100000 slaves, would be inca pable of contend.
ing with the North, OF any foreign nation. So far
from this, il is our deliberate opinion that the
South would be powerful an independent
nation, with her slaves than without them. In
carving on war, n multitude Of men are required
as transfers, and for other manual labor. For
many such purposes negroes would be more

being necessarily scattered, aud in The presence
of an armed force, they could make the slight
est resistance, if disposed But it is proba Die
great many Of them would side with their masters
from afft clion and choice. The Sosth has double
the white population which the whole country
had during the war Of indep- Hdence; tbsm sine has
also a mighty army in hrr sick.y climate (s,ckv
to northern constitutions and wide ex,en, of ter
ritory. The South could, if necessary, raise Il
force Of 100000 Sighting men; sufficient to resist
any army thai cond be sent agar inst them from
any quarter. In short, do not believe that
there is nation earth that could conquer the
South. The North could not Great Britain
with ali her power, could not. Neither do we
believe that war with the South would give
freedom 10 many slaves Those ne ar the frontiers
would OF course be early sent into the Interior
b-yond the reach Of scouting parties and aboli-
tionists. The English, in abe war Of 1912 Is, in
spite Of al! their efforts, captsred decoyed only
