There Is No Doubt That In The Gig-Antic ...
Union , some that those who might wish to join the _Norths should have fair play , and be able to express themselves ; free from the
terrorism of the South . In this the Nx ) rth has been successful , and b there y the is war little will doub be t able that to Mary join land the , Virg North inia . _, The Missouri facts , Kentuck are clear y _^ _,
though the _Times has done all it can to misrepresent them . The , North , in spite of all mismanagement , has gained much . The South ,,
in spite of its frightful sufferings and good management , has not been able to prevent its States from being invaded , and New
Orleans taken . Supposing the South could drive out the Northern _, army from all its States ( which seems to us perfectly impossible )
what would be its career , as an unrestrained State , Republic , or , - rather Slave-Aristocracy ? .
Mr . Cairnes proves in his boob that the very nature of slave culture exhausts the lands and demands new territory . "We
haveshown how the South has gone on acquiring hy foul means new states . Missouri was gained by a compact they did not mean to
keep . " Texas was positively stolen . It was not for want of bloodthirsty ruffians that Kansas was not gainedbut simply after many
struggles the free settlers so largely outnumbered , the slavepopulationthat they could not be refused admittance as a Free *
State . , Then the South asserted the right of making slaves like any
other property , with which they might settle anywhere . Then theslave trade was approved of and absolutely practised . This

the-Democrats , the republican candidate was elected ; this election , in * which the South of course voted , they would not submit to , and
declared for secession . What may we expect by this past for the future ? Slavery- they
have asserted , is to be the corner stone of the new Union ,, unfettered , by any restrictions .
Where there is slavery , industry is despised , and the new Union _, will have five millions of whites whocalled " mean whites / ' have
, no calling , but live an uncertain and almost savage life , always ready for any _jDiratical expedition . They will have an economic
necessity for extension of territory and a determination to settle newly acquired territory with African stock . But let us quote ironu
Prof . Cairnes' book , fche opinion of the Vice-president of the Southerm Confederation . " We can divide Texas into five Slave Statesand .
get Chihuahua and . Sonora , if we have the slave population , , but , unless the number of the African stock be increased we have not
the population , and might as well abandon the race with our brethren of the North in the colonization of the Territories . Slave 7
States cannot be made without Africans . " _" Take off / says Mr . Gaulden of Georgia , _" the worthless _restrictions which cufc off the
_supply of slaves from foreign lands . . . take off the restrictions
