stoned by their mere emancipation. II would
seem, then. that the mere>t glance nj the
statistical tables Of our State, showing its
population aid revcnuc must have satisfied
the most sanguiue Aboltionist of the fu-
tility Of his schemes. If the investigation
was pursued further, and our estimate wac
made 10 embrace the three millions and a
half Of slaves now in the Southern and
Southwestern States, and the billions to
which our computation must ascend in or
der to ascertain their value in money, this
anti-sIaycry crusade, which presents itself
in a form Of open aggression against the
white race, without the semblanoe or pre-
text Of good TO that race FOR which the abo-
itionist processes so much regard and
which stands 50 much higher in his afIec-
tons than his own, is seen to Jc one Of
mere folly and wckedness, or what is PER-
haps worse, selfish and sectional struggle
for political power
It is a singular fact, and one worthy Of
notice in this connection, that in the history
Of African slavery up to this time, no gov
ernmont has ever yet been known to abolish
it, which fairly represented tie interest and
opinions cl the governed. Great Britain, it
Is true, abolished slavery in Jamaica, but
the planters of Jamiaca had no potential
voice in the British Parliament. The abo-
lition Of slavery in New England and in the
Middle States, can hardly be cited as an cx-
cep.ion, since that abrogaton was not SO
much the result of positive legislation as it
was Of uatural causes-tle unfitness Of eli
mate and productions to slave labor. 1t is =.
well known TO these familiar with the iu-
risprudence Of this country and Of England
that slavery has been in no instance created
bv positive statutory enactment, nor has it
been thus abolished in any country, when
the popular viii oas paramount in lcgisla-
tive action, lis existence and nori-exist-
cncc appears to depend entirely upon cau-
scs beyond the reach of goyernmcntal ac-
