to holding these courts in any Of the States

Now that slavery is at an end, or near its
end, the greatness of its evil in the point of
view of public economy becomes more and
more apparent. Slavery was essentially a
monopoly Of labor, and AS such locked the
States where it prevailed against the incom
ing of free industry; where labor was the
property of the capitalist the white man was
excluded from employment, or lad but the
ccond chance of finding il, and tho foreign
emigrant turned away from the region where
his condition would be 50 precariolis With
the destruction Of the monopoly free labor
will hasten from all parts Of the civilized
world to assist in developing the various and
unreasonable resources which have hitherto
lain dormant. The eight or nine States
nearest the Gulf of Mexico have soil of ex.
uberant fertility, climate friendly to long
life, and can sustain q denser population
than is found rs yet in any part Of our coun-
try; and the future influx of population to
them will he mainly from the North or from
the most cultivated nations in Europe
From the suffcrings that have attended them
during our late struggle let rs look away to
the future, which is sure to be laden for
them with greater prosperity than has ever
before been known. The removal of the
monopoly Of slave labor Is a pledge that
those regions will be peopled by numerous
and entcrprising population which will vie
with any in the Union in cOmpactuess, in
ventive genius, wealth aud industry. Our

OUR DIFFERENCES WITH ENGLAND.
Our domestic contest now happily ended,
has LEFT some traces in our relations, with
one, at least, Of the great maritime powers
The formal accordance Of bclligercnt rights
to the insui gent States was unprecedented,
and has not been justified BY the issue but
in the systems Of Deutr lily pursued by the
bowers which made that concession, there
was marked difference. The materials OF
war for the insurgeDt States were furnished,
in a great measure, from the work shops Of
Great Britain, and British ships, manned by
British subjects, and prepared for receive
ing British armament. sailed from the ports
of Great Britain to make war on American
commerce. Under the shelter of commits
sion from the insurgent States, these ships
having once escaped from British ports,
even afterwards entered them and in every
port Of the world to refit, and to renew
their depredations. The consequences OF
this conduct were most disastrous to the
States then in rebellion, increasing their des-
ola,ion and misery by the pr0l0ngation Of
our civil contest it had, moreover, the ef.
feet; TO great extent, to drive the
American flag from the sea, and to
transfer much Of our shipping and orr COM
merce to the very power whose subjects had
created the necessity for such . change
These events took place before WINS called

The sincere desire for peace BY which am

had thus arisen between the countries, TO
