end. wherever it remains il will hc an in
terior clcmCnt but far less SO as free, than
enshVed Tho whi,c population of the
South must always suffer this drawback for
having collected, or submitted TO the col
lection of, u largo African population on
their soil, and they have no right to com
plain If obliged to make cxpiatou, MS long
ms the world stands, for having introduced |
and sustained the institution of negro sla-
very. But aside from the disadvantage of |
having its laboring population of race |
with which the white race will not mlnglc,
the South wouli gain Ivy the assimilation of
her labor system to that of the North.
EMANCIPATION PoSiiBLE WITHOUT INDUSTRIAL |
RUIN.
NJ. Augustin Cochin has proved, in the !
work before us, that slavery can be abolish
ed, and the slaves converted into free labor
crs, without any serious detrimcnt, even to
tho former slave proprctors. We all know
| that free labor is more economical than
slave labor, and. therefore, that n frccmani is
worth more, under the point of view of
national wealth, than slave. The convcr-
sion of the four millions of slaves now in
! the Southern States into hecmcn, would
very much increase instead OF diminishing
| the aggregate wealth OF these States: and il
| u portion of this increased aggrc gate wealth
should pass from the hands of few slave
proprictors, and into the hands OF those who
have heretofore been allowed to hold no
property, the aggregate we'll being of the
whole community would also I've augmented
instead of diminished, and therefore the
South, regarded us whole, as looking to
her whole population, be nqucationa-
bly, great gamer by the change. twould
not in any respect be dcpopulated or i'm.
povorished, but would be in the way of
more rapid increase of its population, and
of that wealth which constitutes the real
strength and prosperity of State. What
we propose, then, would he in no respect
ruinous, or even injurious tu the Southern
States themselves but would be u real advau-
tage to them, and secure them after the
peace all the real greatness, strength and
prosperity States, with Il mixed population,
are capable of. The proposition, thon in
wolves no injustice, no injury to the white
population of the Southern States; while il
would be an act of justice, though tudy
Justice, to the negro race so long held in
bondage, and forced to forcgo all their own
rights and interests for the pride, wealth
and pleasure OF their white masters.
1t seems to us, then, highly important in
every possible view OF the case that the
Federal Government should avail itself Of the
opportunity given il by the Southern rebel.
