He viii find that she the great ol northern fabrics
 thz sc not only paid for these their valse in ,hv markets of the world. but that she also paid their increased value, derived from ilIe position of re- | Feage oaties. And if, still further, he seeks for the of the hostility, il al last is to be foand in the fact that the South held the African race in bondage, being the descendants oi those who were mainly purchased from tue people of the North-| 4 as this the great cause For this the North claimed that the South should he restricted from future growth that around her should be drawn, as ii were, sanitary coroeH io prevent the exten- sion of 6 moral epEosy; and if Tor thai il shall be wrtien the South resisted, il would be bat in keep
