not fortresses and cannon be placed on either side

not despotism follow armies and taxation? Are

South and the men of the North desire union and
tranquility, both sections are interested in the I'm

and independent. (Applause.) No. All we ask
is to be let alone. We do not wish to OBJ
trude our institutions, but we wish to have all the
benefits of the constitution. We wish that to be
the controlling principle of the country. We are
willing to give the pound of flesh, but not one drop

In the following paragraph is Swallowed forth a
moving reason for Southern Know othingism.
"F,reign labor would dopreciate the value Of
slaves" No doubt.
These arc the things the North should look at.
Your slaves became Improbable here, and they
were thrown of. Labor aud institutions, too, are
governed by convenience and necessity to q great
extent, without canvassing the morality or immor-
atty Of the institution. Now, whenever the south
should employ foreign labor, If it were possible to
do it, it would depreciate the value of slave labor,
slaves would become worthless, and, If possible, it
would get rid of them,
The following looks very much like an argument
against acknowledgement. But we are not re-
sponsible for General Houston's consistency and
at any rate it could not be very fattering to his
Know-Nothing auditors % '-'...
The immense improvements you have made l
am delighted with; l congratulate the people of
the North with all my heart upon the many beau
tiful, convenient, profitable and elegant improve
ments. Your States are like gridirons, your fields
t and gardens and your houses are elegant. In the
r interior of this State was %gratifed with behold

, an elegant and enlightened state of society. But
do you believe that. had it not been for the influx of
foreign labor, you would have had these railroads q?

Would the Americans, sons of the revolution,

err work that has been done here? (Cheers.) No.
You never could have done it in the world. Well,
it is well done, and l am glad to see it done =

Suppose these railroad projects had taken place
y before the time when you emancipated your slaves,
d and no foreigners had come. Emancipation did
not take place in the North until the adoption Of
the Federal Constitution think in about thu
year go. Do you think that if railroads had beer
started then, emancipation would have been begun

railroads to this day just as sure as the world
