shils slavery was tolerated In slmoss every
ssaas In the Union. II 10 fact worthy
IL note, that from 1870, to 1880, the "a
sio Of increase in population was an av-
srags 34-e2 IA par cent. for each de-
oimal period, while from 1880, the time
whsa the Aholisionists commenced send
ing Abolltion petitions to osagFoss, and
we're organising for the purpose OF either
abolisAing slavery or dissolviag the un-
ion, TO 1850, the average increase for
each decimal period, was s4-2 per osns.,
she period from 1880, TO 1910, being the
lowest sinss the adoption Of the osassi-
tuition.
Ii il also worthy Of remark, that the
period from 1850 to 1860, the Com"
promise measures having been adopted
| in 1850, and 80 was supposed had put %
end 10 the agitation of the slavery qass-
sien. the ratio of increase in population
was THIRTY-FIvE AND FIFTY
EIGHT haadredshs per ssns" Showing,
the Presidents arguments in favor OF
emancipation TO she contrary noswith-
standing, that the population OF the
country increased the fastest, when II was
supposed that By the Compromise meas
ures, slavery wss 10 be psEpstuated, and
fngitivss surrendered to their masters 90
long IS the people Of the South, should
desire to continue it In existence.
Ii will be seen from the figures given
By the President, that during the decimal
period ending in the ysaS 1910 that The
ratio of increase was greatsT than at any
other period. At that time slavery vas
tolerated in nearly every State in the
Union, and eight out Of the ten years
of that period, the Slave txade was not
prohibited, showing clearly that neither
slavery or the slave trade, could rssard
the increase Of population in this country
! From the Presidents own figures, it Is
shown, thai when slavery has bsaa most
secure, and the laws in relation thereto
bsst enforced, that the increase in popa'
, Lasion Of the country has BEEN greater
than While attempts were being made tc
, abolish it, and mobs were raised TO pre-
: vent the execution Of the Fugitive alay'
Law.
How ally, then, must all Of his tWad
die about em&ncip&sion's insurIng tn
:, continuance of the usual increase in pop
ulation appear, when by his Own showing
! the greatest increase in population size
the organisation of the Government wa
during that period In which ii was sup
posed that the Compromise .msasur
would be adhered to, and prove in h
y end, the destruction Of AbolitioniSm.
The President says: "PrGcties prove
more than fheoryin CASE" and If b
BE- correct in this assertion; PTacsic
> proves that with slavery our country hs
prospered and its population has iucreas

cent, for each decimal period. His tha
DRY now is emancipation, in order to in
- sure a continuance of the ratio Of in
y crease. II be we're nos an orginnal Abo
