assures us of the North that II llsuppress pull
pits and schools and presses which teach our people
that Slavery Is wrsng and recognize the rghtfulness
of property in the bodies and eouls Of men, then tney
will condeecend TO take into consideration the question
of continuing in the Union. The senator dreams on
Northern campaigns; Of going into Winter quarters az
the Continental Hotel ia PHILADELPHIA the Filth Az
enue Hotel In New-York, and the Revere House IN
Boston. He talks Of debating treaty OF peace IN
Faneuil Hall, on Plymouth Rock, or at Bunker Hill.
That Senator evidently has little faith in the capacities
of the North for contest of arms should 1t come upon
us, while be magnifes the power OF the South. We
freely concede the bravery Of our connrymen OF the
South and we do in spite Of their gasconade and
boasiful vauDtings Of chiyallic courage We OF TIE
North are quite confident strong OF arm, as
skilled Of hand and feet Of foot as are our more
boa tful Oounrymen Of the sunny South that we can
endure toll and cold and hunger we'll 40 they and
am sure the Senator from Texas will admit we
can endure thirst quite as well as they.
Bot the Senator from Texas tells Us that money IL the
finew Of war; that We Of the North have no money;
that they gather gold In hundreds OF millions from the
stalk Of tse cotton plant. They send the negro he
says TO the field he gathers cotton from the stalk,
brings TO the ginhoure puts through the necessary
process and rolls out bale OF hye ten-doilr goid
pieces But the Senator did lot tell that it might
have cost six tendoa gold pieces to get this bale oil
five ten-dolL gold pieces. The Senator seems TO be-
long that cass of political ecoOnsis that Gao never
count the cost Of maiutaning King Cotton; would
remind the Senator that Of the North take tus bale
Of cotton the negro picks pay the ve ten-doar gold
pieces stamp upon il skill art civilization, send II
back and they Of the South promise 10 give live bales
of the mex, crop for it, but regret TO cay Sir we are
often forced take fewer than promised. Iwonld
