viously abandoned his American ma
tionality in order to secure naturali-
cation as an English citizen.
His career was in the nature of
a romance. For. born at New Haven

OF the southern states majority Of
the whole people of all colors are
neither slaves nor masters, while In
the northern large majority are
neither hirers nor hired. Men, with
their families, wives, sons, and daugh-

not forgotten that a considerable num-
Der Of persons mingle their own labor
with capital; that is, they labor with
their own hands and also buy or hire
others to labor for them; but this is
only q mixed and not distinct class.
No principle stated is disturbed by the
existence Of this mixed class.
Again, as has already been said,
there is not of necessity any such
thing as the free hired laborer being
fixed to that condition for life. Many
Independent men everywhere in these
states few years back in their lives
were hired laborers. The prudent,
penniless beginner in the world labors
for wages while, saves surplus with
which to buy tools or land for him
self. then labors on his own account
another while, and at length hires an
other new beginner to help him. This
