Remarkable Prediction.

One OF our colenporsries rskes up Tho
following from the dusty closet Of The
past, which is remarkable prediction.
and one as truly in danger Of being veri-
fed. history furnishes no parallel. The
Raleigh Standard Of the 20Eh Of April
1850, contains the following editorial.
headed "CuHes, Cotton and ConsIilu-
non," IN which is quoted this paragraph
The New Orleans Crescent, speaking
of "rhres Southern Institutions" says:
"It 10 worthy paragraph to re-an-
nouuce the fact ihat three very important
Southern Institutions were simultaneous
ly lnsuguraied. .wo hundred years ago
# Bancroft, the historian, be suIhoriIy on
rhe subject. In the years l62O-2l, slaves.
not cotton, were first introduced into The
colony Of Virginia; in 1921 the FIRST writ.
ten colonial constitution was ordained and
established in Virginia"
The Mr.. Holden Of that date then says:
"Itis indeed remarkable coincidence,
irhsi the establishment Of these three "in.
sulutions-slaveGy, the cotton trade, and
constitutional siSiuie-Ihe very basis OF
the national prosperity Of the Soult.
have such chronological identity. And
we predic, that as they were born togelh-
rr so they will die, if die they ever do.
The slave labor institution will go ss it
came, few months in advance, and The
crash Of States Constitutions. Of laws and
statutes, will follow quickly, hand in
hand with the downfall OF The cotton and
other agricultural and commercial inter.
es,s, introducing the nation 10 an era Of
anarchy, Of individual, social and poIiI.
cal G,sIesses. The fact Of mutual de-
pendence, however. bot increases the sta.
billy ol The whole, and though 1t would
render their destruction a more disaslrou,
lutall,y, it a, the same lime removes all
danger Of such occurrence.
