tory, its spoil. A territory which, although
II may not be favorable for slave labor, has
increased, and will, in many ways, extend
the slave power.
4. This leads me TO say that God put ii in
to the hearts of many Northern men, espe.
| cially abolitionists, to believe what Great
Britain said, namely: that free trade would
| result in slave emancipation. Bat To- the
Shareholder aDdnted free trade. SO Northern
abolitionists helped to destroy the tariff
policy, and thus to expand the demand for,
and the culture Of, cotton. Now, see the
| gold OF California has perpetaated free trade,
| by enabling our merchants TO meet the
enormous demand for specie created by free
trade. Sc California helps the slave pow
er. But the abolitionists gave us Polk, the
Mexican war, and California

to be the ardent friends of an immense for
eign emigration. The result has been, to
send down to the South, with railroad speed
and certainty, corn, wheat, flour, meal, ba-
con, pork, beef, and every other imaginable
form OF food, in quantity amazing, and so
cheap, that the planter can spread wider
and wider the culture of cotton.

west, made the demand for cotton enormous
in the North aud Northwest Again: He
has made English and French experiments,
to procure cotton somewhere else than from
the United States, dead failures. In the
East Indies, Egypt, Algiers. Brazil. God has
thus gwen TO the Southern planter an abso-
lute monopoly. A monopoly so great, that
he, the Southern planter, sits now upon li
throne oil cotton, and wields the commercial
sceptre of the world. Yes, it is the South
ern planter who says to-day, to naughty
England, go to war, if you dare9 Dismiss
Dallas, if you dare! Yes, He who sits on
the throne Of tho cotton bag has triumphed
ut last over him who sits on the throne of
the woolsack. England is prostate at his
feet, as well as the abolitionists.

the slave power. And by thus keeping
them in America the aboltionists have so
increased their degradation, as TO prove all
the more the utter folly OF emancipation in
The United States.

men in the North, in England, in France.
and everywhere, SO TO blind themselves in

holder his las, perfect triumph over them.
For God tells the planter TO say to the

| Now, my brother, this controlling slave
| power is world wide fact. lis statistics Of
bales, counts by millions. lis tonnage
counts by hundreds Of thousands. Its manu-.
facture is reclloned ky the workshops of
America and Europe. Its supporters are
numbered by all who must thus be clothed
in the world. This tremendous power has
been developed in great measure by the
Abolition agitation, controlled by God.
believe, then, as l have already said, that
God intends one Of two things: lie either
intends to destroy the United States by this
slave power-or lie intends to bless INV
country and the world Ivy the unfoldings of
his wisdom in this matter. | believe he
will bless the world in tho working ont of
this slavery. rejoice, then, in the agita.
tion which has so resulted, and will so ter
inmate, to reveal the Bible, and bless man.
