was started by the Abolition prints ot New Eng
land Ii is well knoyn that he is himself about
AS pnor II man us Texas affords, and it Is to be
regretted that some of the papers OF his own
State are now handling the thing against HIM as
adroitiy as the Abolitionists themselves. A Black
Republican Senator asserted that the white la
boring population of the South were poor,
wretched and degraded class, who dragged out a
miserable and starved life on account OF being
unable to compete with slave labor. Mr.. Wig
fall gave the lie to the assertion, and justly vim.
dicated the dignity of the white population OF
the South-a population with innumerable iaeil-
ities for becoming independent, and 1t they were
so imprudent as not to take aovantate Of them,
it was fault of their own, and they had no
right to lay it to slave labor. No man was nee
essarily poor and dependent in the South. lie
was right in giving the lie to such assertion
right in his declaration that, by the exercises oil
a little prudence, each white man in the South
could become a king-and right in proclaiming
that every one who remained poor ana miserable,
with the advantages offered him by Southern
residence, was criminally guilty OF rank ingr'ti-
