men do not flock down INTO the Southern
States, where there is genial climate and
good soil, but go rather up INTO Wisconsin
ana Upper Michigan, into Iowa and Mime.
sofa Why is it they go into that region
where winter fingers for half the year, when
they might go into sunny Virginia, and all
over the slave States The reason is that the
labor Is done by toe slave. And what are the
wages OF the slave with whom the freeman has
TO compete as laborer? What does he get
beside his food and clothing: Does he get
spending money and .tfeedom? CAppause.)
Is he pad so that lie can rear and educate
his children, and see them prosper around

age! No, my friends, the slave and thesave's
wife, Is CHI as she is,) toll on, and what they
get tor their work is their humble food, and
their coarse clothing. But does their work
pay for it ; slave baby is worth $50 full
grown slave boy or girl is worth $500 10
$1,000. The slave pays for his food and
clothing by the Immortal souls and the
mortal bodies he begets. Tell me whether
the free white laborer, who seeks 10 live by
wages, can labor beside the slave who gets no
pay, and whose children are torn from him as
the colt Is from her DAM or the lambs from
the old eve. Laboring men-you who dig
canals and build railroads, and work in QUAR-

laborer shall do it here, or whether the slave
shall do it. They call us swoolley heads"

west, as you are banished from the South
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connect
leut are getting to be over populated. Phia-
delphia Is large city, well filled with labor
ing men. New York has her alleys and her
lanes already crowded with laboring men and
laboring women, who can make but small wa
ges, and must pay high rents for the novels
IN which they live. Why do they not move
South The climate there is warmer-more
GENIAL; the soil is richer the seasons are
longer; there is less fuel less clothing requir.
ed there. Why not move INTO the sunny
SOUTH l have told you why. The slave is
there, who works in sorrow and receives no
pay, The slave is there, who breeds immor-
tai souls and sees the bodies that encase them
sold upon the shambles to pay for the food
and clothing Of the parents.
That is why they do not go South. Now,
plant slavery in Kanzas, and the other Terri
torres, and the same reason will keep them
from going West. Then what takes place?
Is there an Irishman present? l ask him why
the sons Of Ireland are driven by the million
