4 SOUTHERN REMEDY FOR THE ABOLITION


We Yesterday laid before our readers certain vIe
upon the subject of northern assaults upon
.rights This is a matter oe intense and absofoms
interest aud every day adds to its lnomentous mp
nitude Recent events have served more starr IN
to disclose the plots of northern foes OF the G"ol'

scented to the ewes of the American paulol! NJ

Such is the present attitude of abolitionism. On
the one hand it attempts to deceive the peoplc VI
tbc North by using the base fashood that the power
ofthe South is increasing, and on the other IL a'e

We realize in this new demonstration OF TIC an
cameo and insolence of abolition the full measure OF
s DANGEROUS tendencies and it is to call the people
of the North more especially to CONSCIOUSNESS Vi
their duty in the premises that we have deemed inc
subject worthy of conspicuous comment III 'iioso

webove now TO call the attention of the reader to
,verv remarkable communication, taken from the
New Orleans Delta, on the subject OF the 'ett'1'

Cartwright, of New Orleans whose name alone Is
sufficient guarantee that the subject has oeen wen
and faithfully treated. DIR. Cartwright, when ne
wrote this communication was rustlcatlng on the
banks of Lake Borgne the last American SOIL that
hostile foot trod, and in full view OF the
in which the British feet lay in 1e14-15. From
the spo where he wrote the remnant OF the BRITISH

They have already conquered Connecticut, ermont
and Massachusetts,, and are, as we have seen, pre-
pairing to extend their aggressive policy all over the
North in order the more e1fectually 10 suDoue anu
to degrade the South. The argument OF Dr. Cart
wright is so full clear, and convincing that we give
it to our readers without another word
THE SLAVE TRADE AND THE UNION.
The Richmond Enquirer is right in reprobating
in a positive and decided manner, as 1T has lately
DONE any agitation of the question OF revvlug the
slave trade The government under the federal Union
was the first to nterdct the trade and 1t can never
be revived while our Union endures No color ought
to be given the suspicion that the South has any
wish or intention, if it had the power to revive the
slave trade. Unless driven to eXtremitles by north
ern fanacism there is not the smallest probability
that the South will favor its revival In addi-
ton to the given in the Enquirer OF the 26th
ult others might be stated. The principal one Is,
that it would be injurious to own negroes, how
ever beneficial it be for the barbarous Africans,
to be brought in contact with civilsed and Chris
tan people. Charity begins at home; and, howev-
er much the Shreveport Democrat may desire to be-
neft the black savaees of Africa by reviving the
slave trade, "a measure it urges in the last number
with great powerD moments reflection Will show
that it cannot be done without injurng our own ne
groes, who have higher claims on us than any peo-
pie elsewhere residing, whether civilized or saw
age.
The high price of slaves in the Southern States is
an inner wall of defence thrown around negroes,
protecting them against waRton abuses, If all other
walls were broken down. 1t IS the interest of the
master to treat his negroes well at all times and pla-
ces That interest increases with the slaves value.
But if negro slaves made cheap by their intro
duction from Africa, and the expense of rearing
children exceeded the expense of buying imported
slaves, there would not be sufficient protection
against the abuses of the institution by avarcious
and tyrannical masters. What has happened when
negroes were cheap would happen again. What
happened before federal Union would happen
again, if abolitioniSm succeeds in overthroWing it.
According to Gallatin and Humboldt, (see also Re
searches upon the Vital Dynanics of Civil Govern
ment,' by Bennett Dowler, NJ. d. an abstract of |
which was published in the New Orleans Medical
and Surgical Journal for May, 949) the whole num-
Der of negro slaves imported into the United States
from first to last, did not exceed three hundred
Thousand. From that stock we have now about four
millions, "presenting," says DR.. Bowler, at the
same time greater number of long-iived, heathfu
persons than any people Of Europe, not excepting
the most favored class" More than twice the NUM-
Der of slaves imported into the United States have
been imported into tine British island of Jamaica
alone; yet Jamaica at the present time has not half
the number originally imported, whereas in the |
United States the increase has been more than ten |
to one According to Humboldt, Gallatin and 9TH
ers, it appears that previous to 1886 the British had
imported into their West India islands, 2,130, 900
African slaves; that the British West India islands, |
settled century before North America, received |
more than times the number nfslaves ever re-
ceived in the United States yet in 1928 under Brit
ish management 62T, III remained! More than one |
million and a half had Disappeared One million
and half less than the original importation! The |
greatest OF all physiological curses is the death
extinguishment of a This not the fault |
ofthe negroes'-( Dowler's Vital Dynamics) Speak
ing of the free blacks of the United States the
thor of Vital Dynamics continues Emancipation |
suddenly arrests their vital progress, longevity,
psychological energy, and physical improvement. |
Their numerical increase is not inherent but extra
neous and contingent, arising from absconding and
manLnitted slaves Disease, short life, and speedy
DEATH everywhere mark the downward progress of |
free blacks. Experience shows that up to the pre-
sent time all monarchca governments have not only |
failed to advance the vital condition of the negro,
but they have actually contributed to his extinc-
ton"
1.-The visible decline of the human species in des- |
potsms has excited the most serious apprehensions
throughout the Turkish empire. 1t is remarkable |
that the writers upon civilization and its advantages
have not recognised the representative principle as |
the true type of all that deserves to be called
ern civilizaton-the ouy really fruitful discovery in
social physics of which the world can vet boast. |
Inc type OF all other governments is the patrarchi-
cal or paternal, which becomes unnatural the mo-
ment 1t is transferred from family since it cannot
be tempered by the real parental affection. If mod
