4. This leads ME to say that God put il
into the hearts of many Northern men, es
pecially abolitionists, to believe what Grea
Britain said, namely: that free trade would
result in slave emancipation. But 10! thu
slareholder ramtcd. free etrade. So Northern
abolitionists helped to destroy the tarifpoli.
cy; and thus to expand the demand for, and
the culture of cotton. Now see the gold OF
California haspe'petuated free trade, by ena-
bling our merchants to meet the enormous
demand for specie created by free trade. So,
California helps the slave power But the
abolitionists gave US Polk, the Mexican War,
and California.
5. God put it into the hearts of the North
and especially abolitionists, to stimulate the
settlement Of new free States, and to be the
ardent friends of an immense foreign emi-
grafton. The results has been, to send down
to the South, with railroad speed and GER
tainty, corn, wheat, -four, meal, bacon, pork,
beet, 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.
6. God has by this growth of the North
west made the demand for cotton enormous
in the North and Northwest. Again, he has
made English and French experiments, to
procure cotton somewhere else than from the
United States dead faiimes. In the East
Indies; Egypt; Algeria; Brazil; God has
thus given to the Southern planter an abso-
lutte monopoly. A monopoly so great, that
He, the Southern planter, sits now upon his
throne Of cotton and wields the commercial
sceptre of the world. Yes, it is the South
ern planter who says to-day, to naughty Eng
land go to war, if you dare! Dism IS Dal-
las, if you dare Yes, He who sits on the
throne of the cotton bag has triumphcd at
last over him who sits on the throne of the
wool sack. England is PROSTATE at his feet,
as well as the abolitionists.
7. God has put into the hearts of aboli-
tionists to prevent half million of free ne
grocs from going to Liberia and thereby
the abolitionists have made them consumers
of slave products to the extension of the
slave power. And by thus keeping them in
America the abolitionists have so increased
their degradation, as to prove all the more the
utter folly of emancipation in the United
States.
8. God has permitted the anti.slavery men
in the North, in En- ngland, in France, and
everywhere so to blind themselves in hYpoo-
risy, as to give the Southern shareholders bis
last perfect triumph over them. For God
tells the planter to say to the North, to Eng
land, to France to all who buy cotton: aye
men of Boston, New York, London, Paris
-ye hypocrites brand no as a pirate, a
kidnapper q murderer, demon fit only for
hell-and yet, yc buy my blood stained cot

don't ye throw the cotton in the

For now, ye hypocritcs-yc buy the blood

YE have run up the prloe of slaves to be more

He commands me to lash you with my scorn,
and His scorn, so long as you gabble about
the sin of slavery, and then bow down to me,
and buy, and spin cotton-and thus work
for me as truly as my slaves. o! ye fools

ye are doing. Ye have, like the French in

Son of God
Now, my brother, this controlling slave
power, is world wide fact. Its statistics
of bales, counts by millions. Its tonnage
counts by hundreds of thousands. It's mapu-
facture is reckoned by 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 Ab-
olition agitation controlled lH God. ! be-
lieve, thoa, as have already said-that God
intends one of two things, He either ip-
tends to destroy the United States by this
slave power-or he intends to bless my couu-
try aud the world by the unfoldings Of his
wisdom in this matter. believe he will
bless the world in the working out of this
slavery. I rejoice, then, in the agitation
which has so resulted, and willso terminate,
to reveal the Rihls, and bless mankind.
