A, IDEAL FOR THE coxsprRAroRs.

lutiopary times the slaves ofAmerca mostly Hack
bsrharsns from the coast Of Africa either stolen from
there and brought TO this country, or removed from
these terbsrans generation two Before the genius
ofWttney invented the CottonGin Cotton did not con-
troll tie destinies of America. Dor was there south
westrequipg slave breeding Virginia to supply with
mechanics and laborers. Slivery was then By the
founders Of the Republic AMI by the Constitution Of
the Unit States which recognises slaves as men and
not as property considered evil, curse, dis
grace something forced upon US by yrants and to be
abolished BY freemen. Such then the views of il
held by Washington, Henry Mason, Jefferson, and more
lately by John Randolph and Henry Clay, and many
others, among southern men. But what ia Slavery
now. and what is it to be The direct foreign slave
trade with Africa having been declared piracy punish
able with death, another kind Of piracy not punishable
with death the domestic savetrace, was instituted
CLivalry true to its ancient and medieval spirit not
being able to be pirates at became pirates on land
and Virginia is now the piratical standard bearer As
the supply of black slaves insufficient Virginia gen.
tenen brought about an infusion OF white blood, which
besides in the southern view of the superiority of the
breed increased the value Of the artice in the sa'Ge
way that the bloodhorse is considered as superior to
the draft horse. The original argument for slavery
ard the iave trade the nferoriy of the black race
no longer exists that ground having been lost sight Of
in the whir of synaIsamaton; for now Virginia is off,
CHILLY declared to have slave population of " one
fourth nulattoes; and if she be considered stand
srd for other southern States oneourth of the entire
slaves of the Union are now mulattoes and another
generation will make perhaps onehalf of the whole
slave population mixed bloOd-men with the prepon'
&c intel ND subi
associations. But this almost or quite white popula
ton will be- with all their superior intelligence more
remorelessy treated than the black population as the
laws will be necessarily stringent; and the chiyary
viii be thoroughly hardened 20 the sight of such white
slaves, for the course of proud cruelty is always
downward. Even now il is the ordinary recon-
meIdation Of southern slave that he is of mixed
blood that is 70 say that he has white blood in him. and
1t far from extraordinary TO find slaves so nearly white
that only the eye the expert distinguish the least
trace Of the infamous blood Southern gentle
men, who now buy and sell such men, such women,
such boys, such girls such infants, would buy AID sell
ore another if they had the chance; and il We may
judge Of the future by the past they would rejoice to
make Of the whole Union great slave market, for
whites as well as blacks
At the first blush northern man might deem
this an extravGgant view. lie might say to himself it
carnot be possible that men gentlemen orators states
men, political leaders and go forth, could ever have
their ntellects SO blasted as 10 desire such wicked
ness. But History is philosophy teaching by exam
pie, and from history we learn, though the facts
are never fairly presented in the dough faced col
lege classics which are manufactured here 80 as not
to offend the nice sensbilities of our southern breh

Looking at our progress in strengthening and extend
ing Slavery is it too extrayagant to suppose that we
may arrive at approximation 10 all the perfecons
in this benign and patrarcha institution as seen il old
Greece and Rome Certainly our march has never
been slow in widening the area on which to rear the
slave system and in furnishing sufficient base where
on TO make all manner of improvements, and now we
seem to be going ahead faster than ever Florida aud

TO Slavery; then Texas annexed next the North Is
turned into hunting ground for human blood hounds in

now if the Kansas Nebraska bill pass three fourths oil
the States ard Territories of the Republic Will be
slave States ard slave Territories and all the remain

Slavery, giving the slayocracy complete power over

sodity il then go forward to develop It's beauties
