0f those luug5 which VAS shrc ID come 10 l"e po-eas

upOn TINS continent
lie conceded expressly that the abolition OF slavery
won prove Ultimate COOd 20 the country tDat HH
manifest advantage 10 the white race, FOR u WIZ ead
iJ the Development OF TIE South and multiply LEI
manufacturer. and mechanical Industries. From
advantages OF climate alone, tie future Of the
south Is more promising, b. said, tnan tat
OF auy otEcr section OF tho country; but tie
condition OF he pr sent generation Of the black race s
all the worse by the aD huol Of slavery. Mr.. DAVIS
doubts very much lhc wisdom OF an attempt To eoucate
the negro, ana utterly disbrIcyes III giving him he
ballot It was his opinion that Wherever the negro race
was found it must be az inferior and >erYe
race ana in tie long would give way to the
superior race ubdcr any and All circumstances
Nj Davis Acknowledged, however, that lie h1u
changed his mind entirely upon one question:
viz that the great staples OF the SoutE-e0t'on aud
be produced WIN EtAltI tN4lohl il' d"
greater ABUNDANCE hy paid labor than by any labor OF
saves This mas already been demonstrated, and that
face alone goes far TO prove the advantage when tAe
abolition OF slavery Las been to tic white.
snrlkiug OF National affairs he said he accepted 'Ae
situation as decided Dy arblament o the sword ana
that he was very hopeful Of the future OF Tie country
He dit not believe there any existing cause for sec
uonal estraugomeut that there could be any AeEe-
alter OGo Of the results Of the already apparent
ia that the South is less dependent upon the
north than heretofore. for while she VIII sup
py great staples before, her peo'le
have begun TO produce greater variety OF crops ioF
their own use and will eventually compete with other
sections II manufactures and mechanical arts In ihs
connection hc remarked that while the south was des-
tlo of money ana tnc value OF real estate was greatly
d.urossed in 4 very short time tho price OF lan"ea
property would advance because OF rs intrinsic VMu'
in Tie production OF staple articles az commerce.
