of Slavery, like the religion Of our Divine
Master, to the uttermost ends of the earth;
and rsbellious and wicked a. the Yankees

not force religion, upon Them, but 1 would
preach it to them as l would preach The
gospel. They are stiff necked and re-

I think it not practicable-and % yet it
would not be wise if il were practicable.-
We can never reopen that trade while the

With greater expansion of territory and
wider fields for the great staples, sugar and
tobacco. as we'll as cotton, to say nothing
o. frnits and vegetables, we should need an
importation of black laborers; and 10 that
case should be willing to take them fiom
Africa. At present their introduction here
would reduce our white population, and thus
diminish our chances for acquiring Central
America, Cuba, and the, Northern States Of
Mexico. ,7 sE .s.4 81 s-g 5s.t-

more land than laEorers, then we ought not
to acquire any npre territory, at least for
the present, and there fore the acquisition of
