Missouri, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, will
then be dissociated from the free States Such
an event cannot be regarded without disrnay
by the most staunch Aboiftionist 1t would
in fact, make the Southern federation the real
United States, as far as territory, present and
prospective, is isconcerned, and reduce she North
to what our ancestors would have called n
'tRump.' The people of Boston or Philadel-
phia might be distinguished for their ability
and enterprise, but they would belong to Il
country with hardly greater future than Ca
NADIA. Every natural adyan tage would be on
the side of the slave States Look at the map
and you Will see what a narrow slip of coun-
try composes the free soil of the American
federation. Only the sea-coast from the
British frontier TO the Delaware Ia few hun
dred miles, belongs to it; all the rest, stretch
ing TAR away down the Atlantic and along the
fuif OF Mexico, is in the hands of the slave
owners. The mouth of the Mississippi is theirs;
the Missouri, and Arkansas the great arteries
of the extreme West ARE theirs Virginia pushes
spur of territory to within less than hun
dred miles OF Lake Erie, and thus divides the
Atlantic free States from the West in a man
ner highly dangerous to their future union
Indeed, 1t is doubtful whether the connection
