SLAVERY IN THE ABSTRACT.

There il not a sane man in America who proposes
to make slaves Of white men. Nor one who thinks
that such a thing would be wise, prudent, practicable,
or e1pedieut. We all agree, that So long as the poor
may become independent freenen and land. holders,
W e'n'Era,ing to the west, or by practising industry
and iruSnlity i'll the East, it is better, far better, that
they should bear the bullets and difficulties Of liberty,
and become independent freeInen, than sink down
into the ~apalhetic, ~letharsic, but secure and comfort.
able position Of slaves.
But negroes are unified for pioneers. As well
send monkeys to settle, reclaim and cultivate the far
West. as free negroes. They are docile, initiative and
parasitical-invaluable as dependents and slaves,
worthless and uoxious as independent treemen. Even
in America negroes should be slaves.
Yet whilst the entire South concurs in opinion that
with us liberty is best for white men. there 10 equal
concurrence Of opinion that the free laborers of Eu
rope are worse situated, in all respects, than our ne
gro slaves; or than their servile ancestors, the vii
liens and serfs Of Western Europe. In truth, we all
see aud admit that they ars less free than those an
eestors; for, to live at al, they must work longer
hours, tor less pay or allowance; aud, when the work
is over, are burdened with those cares of providing
for their families, from which their seryile suces.
tors like our slaves, We're relieved by their maeters.
