Governor Hammond said It In q speech In

States rights speech such as Calhoun might

dare not make war on cotton-cotton is King.
Until lately the bank OF England was king,
but last fall she tried to put the screws upon
our cotton crop and was utterly vanquished-
cotton Is king" That speech gave much Of
fense at the North and won for him the title
OF .Mudsill Hammond" for In 1t he said !:
I'm all social systems there must be class
to do the drudgery OF Iife-a class requiring
but = low order Of intellect and but little
skill. This class must have vigor, docility
and fidelity. Such class you mast have or
you would not have that othe, and higher
class which leads progress, I-hnment and
civilization. This inferior class constitutes
the very mudsiils OF society and OF govern
ment. and you might as well attempt to
upon the mudsills. Fortunately for the
South, she has q race adapted to that pur.
pose. We call them saves-a word discarded
by ears polite, but you have similar class at
