The Mobile Register condemns the whole
of tie Kansas agitation as useless nonsense,
and defines the true policy Of the Slave pow
er rs follows:
"When new tropical territory is to be
settled, and the South has got the slaves to
settle it with, all the powers Of Abolition, and
of Exeter and Faneul Halls, cannot prevent
it. Until that time comes we are wasting
powder on man Of straw and making our
selves and our cause ridiculous. We lave
had bombast enough on this subject, and it is
high time to take practical and culnmon-Eense
views OF it. Nobody denies that We have
nght 10 60 into the territories with slaves,
but it il right that, under existing circum-
stances, is not worth puff Of cigar smoke.
We cannot avail ourselves Of it, and this for
reasons forever aside from Abolition theories.
Congressional legislation, or absurd and false
issues of "squat,cr Sovereignty" Our policy
is to increase our supplies OF negro labor, and
to look to tropical regions as the arena Of
our future struggles for industrial extension
and political strength. All the rest is leather
and prunella' la'-mere words, words, words.
