he people Of the North, who carry on this war
or the maintenance Of the nation, do il in he
lalf of the human race, shall, on the page Of
history, he the reproach Of England and In the
iour Of our adversely she looked upon US with
hostility, that she was unwilling that her great

on this continents country that
o day Ia to derive from this revolution, next

because the time shall come. and that not far
emoved, when upon Southern soil, the free
ahor ot the North, and the free black labor Of
he South shall ircrease two fold three fold,
our.foll, the production Of cotton: aud without
'otton tugland's prosperity must close.
What is the fact today" That the whole
pr Nluction OF cotton ia not equal TO seventy
Of the globe; and slavery and shareholders on
this continent, by the monopoly of the best
cotton lands OF the world, have produced that
cotton in limited quantities and sold II to the
manufactures of tho world at famine prices.
Now, then, when we have emancipnted the
slaves OF the world, when we have inspired
them with sentiments of elf-protection and of
we may increase the product OF
cotton from tour millions TO eight millions,
and from eight to sixteen millions OF bales be.

And that product |, in behalf Of civilization

country more than for England. And say
again that 1t shall be the reproach Of England,

no doubt, Of five or ten hundred millions OF
dollars, possibly fifteen hundred millions Of
dollars, but with credit unimpairsd and, gen
tlemen, many of you will live to see the day
when that debt shall have been paid, because
we have in this country elements Of wealth
which are denied to any other country on the
globe. Every acre Of the South which wa will
redeem from slavery every acre Of land in the
far West, is the basis, when 1t shall have been
occupied by free laborer, out Of which we
will at once give security for the payment Of
this debt, and furnish the means by which it
shall be paid; aud we have two things first,
we have pecuniary resources sufficient to carry
on this war and, secondly, the people have q
right to demand of every man who has the
control of time aud money, that it be used so
as to produce the greatest possible results to
the cause in which We are engaged.
