posites ithewhole IN the Golfers ofthe
North. Soon, by this means, will
the South be, exhaasted; and soon
will the North become exceeding
rich and powerful Soon many of
the territories WILDE admitted as free
States, and the freesoilers will then
have the power to alter the constitu-
ton as they please, and abolish sla-
very under it as amended, We shall
then be TO the North what Ireland is
to England, and our children will
have to mingle with the. negroes as
their equals, TO intermarry with them,
and our posterlty willrejoice in long
heels, and fiat noses. Such will be
the people who will boast descent
from the highminded and patriotic
South Carolinlans Of the present day.
Aye, these are TO be the descendants
ofthe heroes Of the revelation.
ia C.-el never thought ofthese things
before If those who have negroes
are ruined, the poor who are their
neighbors will suffer also,
M. AYou are right, Sir, the poor
are tobe the greatest sufferers To
all the reasons why the poor are in
.terested in this matter which have
mentioned there is yet anotherto be
added which is this: The Yankee
capitalists believe it to be their inter
estto abolish slavery in the South.
For, by the abolition Of slaverySthey
will bring about the ruin of the cot
ton planter,and that will ruin nearly
all the capitalists of the South. Thus
the cottonlands will be brought into
market al an extremely low price,
and they with their immense capital
will be able. 10 purchase the whole of
them. They, will then send out their
x anRee ogerseers 10 hire the free he,
groes and poor whites to till those
lands, and to make cotton fer their
Northern manufactures. BY this
means they will be both planter and
manufacturer

will become the lords ofantold wealth.
They are aware that the negro is
naturally lndolent, and that he is gen
orally satisfied if he is fed aud cloth
ed. Therefore they believe they will
be ableto make the labor of the free
blacks more profitable to them, than
the labor of the slave is at this time
TO his master, ii will not be difficult
for them to hire the negro man for a.
bouthis victuals and clothes, free of
his taxes, doctors bills, the support of
his wife and children, and besides,
they may turn him adrift when he
becomes old or infrnn. All the
whites who own negroes and other
property in the South at the time
when slavery shall be abolished, will
collect together the wrecks of their
former fortunes andleaye the coun-
try. So il will be only the poor
white man who is moi able to get a.
way, or does not wish to leave the
land where he was born and where
his fathers sleep, who will be left here
to become the equal of the negro nd
to sink, as the free negro sinks, into
mredeemed degradation. Thewhite
man who depends on his own labor
tor a subsistence, must inevitably
take his position along side ofthe ne
