He &e cut with the proposition, which he fat

whites was not responsible for The institution Of

successful contradiction that it Was imposed
and forced upon the Colonies against both
their will and protest, and that after being es

the New England States until in consequence
Of inalaptabiIity to their climate and industrial
interests it. became improbable to them, when
without regard to the moral question involved
in the traffic they sold them to the South
and cody pocketed the money for which they
were bartered. lie next entered into the his.

the slave-trade, and brought incontrOvertlble
proof Go show that whilst the South voted al
most unit against its continuance, the North
prevailed in prolonging it for twenty year
to reimburse themselves for expenditures

then gave statistical proof that even after the
slave trade was abolished, az far down as the
breaking out Of the war, the North still con
tinued this means Of enriching herself against

discredit OF sister States who were unjusty
made to bear the olium and responsibility.

TIE CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.-lt is repol t.
ed on GOOD authority, that the Northern capt.
talsts who we're relied upon hy the consolida-
tionlists to furnish the means to carry out their
scheme of obtaining possession Of the Virginia
& Tennessee railroad, have declined. These
monied gentlemen passed over the Southslde
railroad on prospecting tour, some time since,
and we learn upon their return to the North,
held a meeting, at which it was decided that
the road (Southside) was in such condition that
i would have to be build anew, before it could
be made available for the practical purposes of
consolidation, and that the cost of the work
would be TOO great when added to the amount
of State bonds required to be exchanged for
the State stock IN the road, before they could
obtain possession Of it, They, therefore, con-
Guided to have nothing to do with the scheme,
