We have been accustomed for years to hear and read
Of the great advances of the Northto be told of the
great advantages enjoyed by nonslaveholdng commu-
nity and of the dependent and subordinate position OF
the Southern or slavehoIding section.
Now, look at the facts The labor of the South is
perfectly willing to rely upon ITSELF Its great interests
ask for no roteiothey only ask to be let alone. Its
representatives in Congress rpudate the idea of proec
tion They say, over and over again-let us alone
Free trade is the best thing for us. Our stapes-or
trade can stand on their own bottom.
Contrast this with the boosted North, with its repre-
sentatives yearly and daily suppiaEts in the halls OF
Congress- asking to be protected telling the country
and the world that its boosted system is fare-that
it cannot sustain tsethat its laborers are starving,
and virtually thereby saying, Do, for Heavens sake,
you mean miserable, Godabandoned shareholders OF the
South do protect against the competition OF our Free
Soil friends on the other side of the water Do let us
have such protection will give advantage OF
fifty per cent our dear good abolition friends In
Engand-do protect us, you mean rascaly saveholdng
scoundres so that we may skin you out Of fifty per cent
more on the price of everything you use on your plan
tatons you miserable Sinners This is the spirit OF
Northern abolition protectonst talk This is the whole
thing Boiled down.
Does this unfortunate retrogradng and very wicked
South of ours ask for protection? No! Does it &C
knowledge its social system a failure? No! Does II
say it cannot sustain ITSELF and its labor must have spe
cal privileges and advantages? No! ALI it asks is to
be let alone.
What does Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania say in
the Senate of the United States? What sort of pet
tons does he PRESENT. Petitions for protection. Oh
the great free State of Pennsylvania must have proec
ton for it's manufactures and without that protection
its laborers must starve 1t is not in the interests
capital that Senator Cameron talks No. indeed, it is
labor. That is the thing.
Now one thing is certain. 1t is either labor or cap
ita that wants extra privileges 1t is either the free
labor of the north that cannot sustain ITSELF or it the
capital of the North that wants to put its hand deeper
into Southern pockets In either case it exhibits the
hollowness the meanness the asity of all the profes
sions made If the social system of the North supe
rior to that of the South why is it that one always
camors for protection and the other is only anxious to
be let alone to be left free to protect ITSELF For our
own part we think that the whole thing is dictated by
the graspng disposition of Northern Capitalists, whose
only object is to suck the last drop of blood from the
South, and part not with drop to their deluded
dupes, the free workmen whom they Cypress and hum
bug while they boupd them to fanatical crusade
ganst the constitutional rights of the Southern States
