THE TRUE SEAT OF INTELLECT

slavery. But ut last, quite of a sudden the pro.
ducts Of slave labor become scarce and rise in

We have given the affirmative proof, we will now
give the negative.
The African slave-trade, beginning with the
first of the l6,h century, had surcharged the West
Indies and North and South America with slaves,
IltOut the time Of the American Revolution. The
produces oi slave labor exceeded the demand for
them. Sugar cotton, coffee, tobacco rice and 9th
er riave and tropical products, had not come into
general use with all classes in Europc. Watts had
not iuycutcd tho steam-cotton mill, nor was the
cotton. gin ia operation. Negro men fen 10 two
hundred dollars head, ard negroes in iamilies
became expensive. The pocket felt it, told it to
the conscience, and conscience smote the slave
holder. Garrison and WiberIorce and French
lJacubins, were listened to and admired, because
they promised to mems souls, and better their
fortunes, by Iiddiug them OF troublesome and ex-
pcnsIye negroes.
But it was she sensible and sagaeiuus pocket, nc
Wiberfurce and Clarkaon, that arrested the slave
trade aud begat abolition. Whenever negro men
fall to two hundred dollars around and negroes be-
come in the mass rather burdeesome than profta-
be-wheneyer the supply of slaves exceeds the
demand--the pocket will find it out, and use such
silly instruments as Clarkson and Wibcrforce to
check Jhe trade, Whenever negroes rise as now,
to seven hundred dollars around, tho slavetradc
will be carried with renewed yigor, energy and
Success, despite all the laws, all the treaties all
the fleets, and all the whining abolitionists in the
world, tog tie pocket is the seat of pocer as oel!
