will not be the only the chief losers by this
changein the direction OF their industry. Although
It is true that the cotton supply from the Southern
States could only be totally cut of by the snbver-
sion OF our social system yet it is plain that long
continuance Of this blockade might BY diversion
OF labor and an investment Of capital in other en-
ployments. SO diminish the supply as to bring ruin
upon all those interests Of foreign countries which
are dependent on that staple For every laborer
VINO is diverted from the culture Of cotton in the
South, perhaps, four times as many elsewhere who
have found subsistence in the various employmeits
growing out Gifts lse will be forced also, to change
their occupation. -......., ,-.-.
While the war which is waged to take from US
the right Of selfgoyernment can mover attain that
end, it remains to be seen how far it may work
revolution in the industrial system of the world,
which may carry suffering 10 other lands well as
to our own. In the meantime We shall continue
this struggle in humble dependence upon Providence
from, whose sea ching scrutiny We cannot conceal
the secrets of our hearts, and to whose rule con-
fidently submit our destinics. For the rest We
shall depend upon ourselves. Liberty is always won
where there exists the unconquerable will to be Free
ard we have reason to know the strength that is
given by conscious sense, not only of the magni-
tude, but of the righteousness of our cause Vs..
