told by the reviewer that united as India is with
England, she never can become manufacturing
country, and that, therefore, the people of India
may employ themselves proftably for period TO
which il is impossible to fix limit, In raising raw
products to be exchanged for the manufactures of
Great Britain. To these extracts / will add the
admission Of Sir Robert Peel, who, In this debate
upon the proposition to repeal the duty ON colo
NAL sugar, said that he had become convinced
that country cultivated by African slaves can
produce cheaper than a country in which that sys-
TEN does not exist
These facts and admission prove that IL was no
love for the African race, but a thirst for gold
which induced England TO emancipate her West
India slaves, aud which makes her desire now 10
emancipate ours. Because, being unable to sell
her manufactures to other European nations she
was compelled TO seek a new market IN lndia,
where she found population OF some three nun
DEED millions subject to her legislative control;
but as she had exhausted the accumulated wealth
Of ages and made India miserably poor lnoia
could not purchase her manufactures unless she
received the produce of India in exchange She
found that 100000 blacks and 100000 Whites in
the West Indies, had monopoly in the British
market of the supply of tropical products and be-
lieying at that time that the slave labor OF the
East Indies was cheaper than the slave labor OF
Cuba Brazil and the United States, she gave to the
West India planters Sl00,0 900, not 30 much as
nm indemnity for cmancpating their slaves as to
indemnify them for repeating their monopoly Of
supplying the British market with tropical pro-
ducts. For, be it remembered, that the cmancipa-
ton of the West India slaves, and the repeal of the
West India monopoly, and the opening Of the East
India trade to British enterprise, were cotempora
neous measures, and that each was part Of sys
TEN for the promotion of British commerce.
Do you not see that the tendency Of the war
with Russia is to unmask the motives OF England,
a. NJ fha Nor fbnru
States must see that, If slavery in our Southern
States be abolished, England can then obtain cot
ton. sugar, rice and coffee, cheaper in India, IN
exchange for her manufactures, than they can be
obtained from free labor esewhere--the effect must
be to compel the people Of the Northern States to
pay tribute to England, in the shape OF East India
produce And do you not see that the tendency
of these facts must be to enlist conservative in
huence in the North to unite with the South in
maintaining the rights and interests OF the South,
If the South does not in the madness OF party
zeal, take part with foreigners and aliens against
the American native born citizens, in move
,nent the tendency ofwhich must be to strengthen
the South by creating a national issue, common to
the North and the South, in which the North and
the South will unite as one people, for the main
tenance Of our free government upon the basis on
which it was established by our forefathersy
From the days of Washington until now the
tendency Of party organization has been TO array
the North against the South in miserable and dis
graceful struggle for the Presidency. What is De-
mocracy or what is Whiggery but combination
controlled by the worst elements OF each party,
who are constantly making new issues and erecting
new platforms, the solo end and purposes OF which
il TO elect a party President? And do not you see
that SO long as the people divided on local Sec
tional issues the contest for President must neces-
sarily be- whether the Northern, the Southern, the
Eastern, or the Western candidate be chosen
and that the necessary consequence OF such con-
test is to enable sectional demagogues to create
sectional issues upon which they will array the
North against the South I? And do you not see,
in what Is avowed to be the purpose OF the Amer
icann party, the basis of new organization more
consistent with that "more perfect union OF the
States which our forefathers saw was indispensa-
BILE TO the preservation of that concert among our
selves. which ia requisite for the maintenance OF
our rights and the regulation of our intercourse
with foreign nationsy
do not believe that the end of our government,
contemplated by the heroes and sages of the reyo-
luton was miserable conflict, to be renewed eve-
nv four years and absorbing and controlling all
other issues to decide who shall be President; on
the contrary, / believe that the mission OF the
United States under the guidance OF q superin-
tending Providence, is TO promote the cause OF
civil and religious liberty, and by the influence OF
our example and the force OF our free institutions,
to difase Christianity and civilization throughout
the world not by taking part in the war between
England and Russia, nor by manifestng our SYM
patty for either of the bellgcrent nations; but by
maintaining our nationality aud enforcing our in
dependence, that our prosperity shall bear wit
ness to all the world that Gods chosen peo-
pie, whose government he has made after the
model given by him to the Hebrews; and to whom
he has committed the maintenance of republican
liberty, as the form Of government best suited to
the spread Of the Gospel, and through whose agen-
cy the world is to be prepared for the second com
ing of the Messiah.
Let me entreat you to pause and deliberately
examine the issues created by the American move
ment One Is that the control of our government
properly belongs 70 native-born American citizens,
and the other is that papal supremacy is inconss-
tent with republican liberty. Such is the ba-
Ais Of the union which the North tenders to the
South, and such is the union which the South
will accept as rendered by the North.
Let me entreat you to ask yourself where are
the great men, Calhoun, Clay, and Websterf Do
YOU suppose their mission upon earth was TO organ
lie the South the West, and the North into sec
tonal factions for no other purpose than to array
these sections against each other TO prove how
vain arc the hopes of ambitious men Or is II not
more rational suppose that to each was allotted
n part in the great sectional conflicts, which were
intended by an all-wise and overriding Providence
70 prepare each section for the issues present
cd by the American" movement Which, 10
use the eloquent language Of one Of them, knows
"no North, no South but would unite all and
each in the effort 10 assert and nsintain
che rights and interests Of the American people as
separate and distinct from all other nssons united
under that form of government which Is better
suited than all others for the maintenance of civil
liberty, and difusing knowledge Of Christianity
and sending the Gospel throughout the world.
Now, would ask you, why did God, in his prov
idence, prepare the Hebrews by residence in
Egypt and their sojourn in the wilderness, before
he permitted them to possess the promised land 7
Why did he prepare our ancestors by religious per-
secutions, and send them to reside in the wilder
ness preparatory 10 the struggle Of the revolution
and the creation of our present form of govern
mentY Were these events in the history Of the
jews of our ancestors, the result of accident or
were they the necessary and indispensable antece-
dents, intended to prepare the way tor events to
follow thereafteri Do you believe that He who
made the stars in the ornament and gave 10 them
laws regulating their course, and to the power
