Greeley Snuffs More slavery.
From enc of Mr.. Greeley's Papers on Political

Slavery roots itself in barbsrism the
slave becomes the main if not the sole re-
lance for regular, constant labor, which
is thence regarded with greater aversion
and spurned 80 far as possible by the free
as the business and badge of serfdom.
The formation of q numerous working
class rapidly increases the aggregate OF
comforts and luxuries, so that the COM
munity gradually emerges into semi
civilization which evermore betrays its
bsrbaric origin and genius through duels,
street brawls, and real or affected fond
ness for "the pomp and circumstance of
glorious war" A highly cultivated and
polished caste may be developed under
such auspices; but not an intelligent, re-
fined and truly civilized people.
These considerations derive impor-
tance from the imminence on this cent?
nent of deluge of Asiatic psganism,
whereof the opening showers have already
reached our western coast. As yet, our
Mongolau visitors are substantially free
to labor as they will and for whom they
will, so long as they render due obedience
to our laws. As yet, | judge that the
benefits resulting from their immigration
have decidedly overbslanced the evils.
But what has hitherto been rivulet may,
at an early day, become Niagara, hurl-
ing millions instead of thousands upon
US from the vast, overcrowded
hives of China and India, to cover not
only our Pacific slope, but Great
Basin, and pour in torrents through the
gorgss of the Rocky Mountains into the
vast, inviting valley of the Mississippi.
This prospect demands instant, earnest
consideration. The stream of Mongol
immigration may vastly enlarge itself,
yet remain bene6cent and fertilizing;
but not if it is to work las many appre-
hend) retrograde change in our indus
trial organization, and result in the es-
tablishment of novel and specious
serfdom but little removed in essence
from old-fashionsd slavery.
