Political Insanity.

Whether falsehood ever dies while any one
has, or thinks he has, an interest in keeping it
alive, is not certain but the vitality, the tena-
city, OF lie which ministers to the interests of
caste, is amazing Ten years ago, it was
current pro-Slavery assertion that Cotton can
not be grown by Free Labor" though there
was never year in any of the last twenty CEN
turles In which Cotton was not mainly grown
by Free Labor. That negroes would not work
IT free, was nOisily assented to by millions, who
now see and know that they will work better
and produce more in freedom than in bondage
But the talsehOod, thoroughly refuted, only
changes its form, and tries again. Here Is itS
