! We do not hesitate to affirm that the

IN tho Southern States, would anninilate
Southern productions for all the purpose
ef commerce, and reduce il at once 10 the

would lie continually and inevitably in

cotton, Sugar. tobacco aud rice, are the
productions Of African labor, and they
must continue TO be 90. But al! expsrif
ence proves that the African viii not work
unless he IS made 10, and he cannot be
made uni ss he is slave We may alter
his condition in some respects and call
him free. IL really free. he won't work,
except for subsistence. If he does work,
it is because some master makes him, and
because, though nomiually free ne : real.
