peculiar interests, and 1t has seemed pos
sible therefore, that the fortunes Of our in.
sti,utions may be determined by a class
who have no direct and legitimate connec.
tion with it. Already, in some sections Of
the country. it has become more popular to
talk Of whipping the North than advancing
slavery; all have common cause in the one,
but all seem not TO have perception Of
common cause in the other, and while the |
interests of the country sustain the South,
and point 10 a magnificent career Of national
prosperity out Of the Union, if not in it, they
do not point to the integrity and advance
ment of our own peculiar form of society.
To obviate the evils of this unnatural con-
diton has become an object Of very serious
interest, but it only can be accomplished
by increase Of slaves. With this every in
terest would be harmonized; there is no
white man who would not engraft his work
upon the labor Of the slave, if the slave
could be had so cheap as TO allow him 10 do
so TO advantage; but without this the evI
must increase, and those who believe in
slavery-who have confidence in its eflic-
lency and order, and who would preserve
and perpetuate tito the great object of its
achievement-are constrained TO look for
the remedy which the condition indicates,
and these again are forced 10 vibrate be-
tween the alternatives of social integratlon
or the slave trade.
AT every step Of reaction, therefore, we
have BEEN met by difficulties which only
find solution in the measure we propoSe--
10 preserve equality in the point Of States;
TO recover equality in point Of representa-
tion; to have any share, in fact, in Federal
Legislation; TO demonstrate the efficiency of
our institutions and turn the tide OF COM
mercial power from the North, and to pre-
serve the integrity of our ow n peculiar sys-
TEN of society, there has seemed to be the
necessity for opening up again the stream
of foreign labor. As with every other
stream, the channel points us to its source;
the reception OF SO much has fixed US in the
condition of receiving more. II our society
is TO flow in perennial current on through
human history. we cannot cut it off noyg
from its antecedents. To do so would oc-
caSion the danger Of leaving it q stagnanl
and Improbable tool among other living wa,
ters. We cannot preserve the peculiar na-
ture Of our society by taking its supply
from other sources; and, as we would not
have its nature changed, as we believe
these streams of races were intended &c
commingle, that the union in unequal plain:
is right and natural, and approved by Hea,
ven and consecrated to great social ends
we should hold them open to commingle
still, and, rors0king all other forms Of soca
union, would still cling 10 this.
Such are the considerations which have
affected public opinion since the publication
of cur earlier articles upon the subject, and
the change has been great Many Journal,
approach the question now with confidence
and ability; men speak of it raiaiiarly a,
they speak OF every other political question
and as the discussion OF the subject has be
come legitimated, and as the proposition La.
been met by many arguments, we will claim
the indulgence of our readers, while at an
other time, we give these brief considera.
tion.
