 trates 'the power and resources oi 1 Britain:and itgave birth to a demand I for the fnccfanical agency in almost
 every department of trade. Two. i thirds of the whole machinery of that
 Kingdom are Identified with the manu. <, facture' of feotion and this interest .has ramifcd itself with every otiici'l tc- lcording to the London ECoNoMIsT. two thirds of tho commerce of Great Britain Fin 1857, consisted in American cotton in lsome form or other. Her vessel
 ploughcd every sea, laden with the raw
 or manufactured article or with article,
 of comercc for which it had been eN-
 changed. Bankers and speculators
 real and personal estate, the comfort. and luxuries of life arc all intirnately Identified with the growth, manufacture
 and transportation of this article oi Southern slave labor. In contributino Ito the commerce and wealth of tht
 world 1t :, has also contributed H tt lits intelligence and refinement; for the ] latter are closely interwoven 4with the former. It's influence reaches all de I partments of civilized e-ftiriishiue ' stttii iIl tO CHOIt0fiO cIlltIiIiSt { as no one thing has ever yet ddnc.

It las given 1 a fatal stab to a source of wealth and prosperity, such as the sun never vel shonc upon. Where the gold mines aoi I California ,obiiteratcd, the sufferers would be iitfnbcrcd by thousand. Ii lthe cotton ficldes Of tho South shonld Brow up in grass next year. the sufferers would be counted by millions, and bs found tlroughout all 'chi'istendoin. In I Radical New England, the value Of thc ihhcllincry employed in maniifacturine liS6tthern. cotton, exceeds tbat ofall his fother machinery combined: and hel as.9ords of the loonl," who sit in thcil lcushioned pews and say anon to all deniiiiciations of the South. would lose linilions, and fear paupcrisln, were cot ton siiot raised in the South. Not only
 would their lnanufacttiries go down
 but thcii. commerce. grcat c!lrrying ftrade-1would soon pass into other i)mnsls. By the we'll directed labor oi I the South, ,inderits former system, New I England could supporta dense popula- 1tion on a very poor soil.
