There were then no anti slavery States. All the
colonies were slaVehoding, and al did we'll. Now
letus come to the war Of I8l2.f5. BY the North
ern States were then furniaed tfoops which served
for three months, $3.50; by the Southern States
gGta5 making majority Of 58,562 in favor of the
South. How many did Massachusetts, furnish IN
this war? Only BIO: while New Hampshire gave
e97; Connecticut 387; Rhode ISLAND, 63T; Yer
mont, l3l-in all, 5l62-ess than little South CaF-
lima, which furnished $685. The States which fur
njshed most men who served in that war were,
Virginia, 39,0i7; New York, 38,G38; Tennessee,
"a ,S58. In the two wars the troops employed in
the armies of the republic numbered 424 600 men,
OF whom the South furnished 287, ,000-TnoFe tban
double the number Of the North, which was only
| 1871 00G.
How was it in the Mexican war? Massachusetts
| iufhIshed l941 of whom only two were killed and
| none wounded, and the rest Of the New England
| states sent not man, excepting poor PIERCE of
New Hampshire, who made President for faint

North served in that war IT was fought by y0ln1-
teers consisting Of class Of rnea who will never
fight against the South. The whole number pf
troops contributed by the Northern States was
23c54 while the slave States furnished IS $780, on
very nearly double Now, as the Northern States;
| have twice the population Of the Southern, the
South has furnished in the last war four times as
many soldiers as the North in proportion to the
population. The fighting element Of the country
with the exception of New York city, is chiefly IN
| the South. The Southern population are all fight
ing men from their childhood. They are always
armed with revolver, or bowie knife, or rife.
As for the desperate expectation that the negro
| slaves will prove an element of weakness to the
South, it is vain. In all the wars Of Greece and
| Rome with other countries, their slaves, though
white men, never revolted against their masters
| If the negroes had even the will they would not
have the meals or the power. On the contrary,
they will prove grand source Of strength, for
they attend to the cotton fields, the general
cultivation of the SOIL and other labor while the

the North spare to send South? Not one for every
three the South will be able to send North. Yas
masses of the population Of the Northern sea
board are reduced practically to the condition D
white slaves, while a considerable proportion ART

The South, therefore, is perfectly able to main

But she can build one in the Mississippi, and mean
