speedy eAllHCllOH Ol Slavery, Out luey
especially abhorred the idea of a geo
graphical line which freedom decreed
on the one line and slavery fully es-
tablished on the other. 1t thus came
to pass that the Ohio River was the
dividing line North of it freedom was
! forever decreed; south of it slavery
was firmly established Within the
limits of the Union as originally form
ed the slavery question had, therefore
| been compromised, the common ter
ritory partitioned, and the republic,
half slave, half free, organized and
sent forth on its mission.
! THE MISSOURI QUESTION.
/ The Missouri question marked dis
tinct era in the political thought of
/ the country, and made profound i'm
/ preston on the minds of patriotic
men Suddenly, without warning,
the North and the South-the Free
States and the Slave States-found
themselves arrayed against each other
| in violent and absorbing conflict
| During the interval of the adoption of
the federal constitution and the adj
mission of Missouri there had been a
great change in the Southern mind,
both as to the moral and economic as
poets of slavery. This revolution of
opinion had been brought In a large
degree by the cotton plant. When
the federal constitution was formed
the annual export of cotton did not
exceed 500 bales. 1t was reckoned
only among our experimental pro-
ducts, but, stimulated by the inven-
ton of the gin, production increased
so rapidly that at the time of Missou-
ri's application for admission to the
Union cotton planting was the most
remunerative industry in the country
The export alone exceeded 800, 000
bales annually, but this highly profit
able culture was in regions so warm
! that outdoor labor was unwelcome to
the white race. The immediate con,
, sequence was a large advance in the
value of slave labor and in the price
