Total number of slaves,
502,l32

Since the year l776, seven of the above origi-
nal members of the confederacy have affe ,ted
the abolition Of slavery in their borders, viz
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massa
chusetis, Rhode Island, New Hlmpsbile and
Connecticut. The history of these States war
rant the conclusion that IT'S abolition was not
owing to any prejudice in the minds of the peo-
pie against slavery, but because of their being
unsuitcd for the duties that the enterprise of
that region required, AZ Developments then made
showed that the production of the great staples
of the United States was impossible in that cIi-
mate.
We have no doubt that the very men who
frat proposed its abolition were guiIty--accord.
Ing to the Abotionists of the present day--of
that awful crime, traffcing in negroes, MS it is
scarcely reasonable to suppose that their philan.
thropy was Of such magnsnimous character as
/ to make them forget their inherent principle
self-interest If il were possible to ascertain
| the facts in the case at the present moment and
present them here, it would be seen that these
anti slavery men placed thousands Of the South
e<n slaves in the hands of the unrelenting,
brutal masters"-in Northern parlance-whom
they now serve. Such facts as the above must
convince all that it is envy, rather than real phi
lanthropy, which stimulates the pretended friends
of The African race.
Many other facts suggest themselves at this
point the secret motive Of the antislavery clique,
and 40 on; but we content ourselves with sim
bly, calling attention to the fact that The manu-
featuring interests Of the North fear Southern
opposition and rivalry. 1t is well known that
We of the South. II manufactures were estab-
ished, could manufacture at much lower
price than The North. as the raw material could
,e grown and manufactured on the same spot,
md it Is to be regretted. therefore, thnt the
Southern people have 80 long neglected their
% interests BY building up class Of men
Who found and support anti-slavery societies
md every other acheme that their foul imaqua-
ions conceive. How will they falter in the dis
barge Of duty plain and proper-how long
ohtlnuc their present suicidal policy! IF they
hin EMILY rally AZ brcthers--if unanimity can b.
brought about and harmony Of action procured
he remedy is in their own hands, and only
