We often hear men wondering why

We often hear men wondering why
the cotton States-those most remote
from abolitiondom, and which suffer
little or nothing from the innovations
Of abolition emissarles OF the running
off OF slaves-why they should be the
first and so ready to "kick up" and cry
out for u dissolution ofthe Union. 10
US it seems that the question needs no
explanation, for surely all must see
that South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, Texas and
Florida, arein more danger, and will
suffer most when slavery in Tennessee,
Kentucky, Virginia, or any of the bor-
der States, is intracted or deprecated,
for tho border States are the producing
States of slaves, and we taRe those ne
groos down South and sell them to cot
ton planters and sugar %raisers. These
cotton States cannot get ,.long without
slaves. They arc needed on the cot
ton, sugar and rice plantations, and no
other persons can stand such labor ex-
ccpt negroes. They are constitution.
ally fitted for it. A warm climate is
Homogeneous, and their physical struc.
ture fits them for work in the cotton
States. 1t seems as If God in his wis
dom designed that the benighted, heath
en- inhabitants of Africa should be civ
ilizod and made useful by being brought
within the outstanding influence of a
superior race. God, it must be remem
bcred, %accomplishes his ends by human
means-and slavery to the white race
is the means of bringing the black race
into the christian fold. There is no in
v%cntive genius among negroes, and
when brought in constant contact with
the white race they only learn to imi.
tate.
But we are off II subject. We sta.
ted that the cotton States had room to
"cut up when slavery in tho border
States is in danger. You cut off the
supply of raw material for a Northern
mandatory, and see how soon the
owners of that mandatory are forced
to suspend. And yet its suspension re,
suited from IN intraction in q State or
Territory thousands OF miles away.
The cotton States are dependent to a
great extent on tho border States for
slaves. We, in Tennessee, could dc
without slavery could do without it
but immensely better with it. There.
fore we'll keep it. But in Tho cotton
States, they cannot do without slaves
and with christianity and truth on their
side, they ought to sliIl the last dror

those who had anything to talk about; and though

brought together for curiosity sake, just to talk
and spin out the usual quantum of street yarn.
The movements in the great staple were not large;
little less than 10000 bales were the number con-
tracted for or sold. .y.. .-.=
