Show 70 industry is not honored, as in Connecticut, but is despised, as in South Carolina and Arkansas. The worldng white man must stand on a level with the slave. He belongs to a despised caste. He will have but little self-respect, and soon will sink down to the character and condition of the Poor-whites in the old Slave States. A scientific friend of mine, who travels extensively in both hemispheres, says that he has not found the Caucasian people anywhere so dearaded as in Tennessee and the Carolinas. ;, Next, there will be no miscellaneous mechanical industry, as in New England and all the Free States. Agriculture will be the chief business, almost the only business; and that will be confined to the great staples,- corn, wheat, rice, tobacco, cotton: the aim will be only to produce the raw material. Agriculture will be poor; land will be low in price, and continually getting run out by unskilful culture. The ::;lave's foot burns the soil and spoils the land; that is the master's fault. '1\venty years hence, land will not be worth $16 an acre, as in sterile New Hampshire, but $4, as in fertile Georgia. There will be no rapid development of wealth; and, as the Northern man va~ues riches, I think he should look to this, and see that the land is not taken from under his foot, and the power of creating wealth from his head and hand. 3. Then there will be no good and abundant roads, as in New England, but only a few, as in Carolina and Virginia, and those miserably poor. In Kansas, twenty years hence, there will not be 1,964 miles of railroad, as in Illinois, but 231 miles, as in Missouri. 4. There will be no abundance of beneficent free schools, as in New England, but a few, and of the worst sort. Education will be the monopoly of the rich, who will not get much thereof. Laws will forbid the education of the slave, and discourage the culture of the mass of the people. • 71 5. There will be no lyceums, no courses of lectures; but, in their place, there will be horse-races, occasionally the lynching of an Abolitionist, or the burning of a black man at a slow fire! Yet, now and then, a Northern man will be invited thither by the slaveholders; some unapostolical fisherman will take the majestic memory of Washington, disembowel it of all its most generous humanity, skilfully arrange it as bait; and then, with bob and sinker, hook and line, this " political Micawber,'' "looking for something to turn up," will go angling along the shores, praying for at least a Presidential bite, and possibly obtain a Conventional nibble. 6. There will be no " libraries other than private," with their one hundred and eight thousand volumes, as in Michigan; only four hundred and twenty volumes, as in Arh:ansas. But a noble army of ignoramuses, twenty-five men out of each hundred adult white men, will attest the value of the " peculiar institution." 7. There will be no multiplicity of valuable newspapers, with an annual circulation of three million three hundred and twenty-four thousand copies, as in Michigan ; but a few political journals, scattering three hundred and seventy-seven thousand dingy sheets, as in Arkansas. 8. There will be no abundant and convenient meetinghouses, as in the North; not one hundred and twenty thousand comfortable pew-seats in neat and decorous churches, as in Michigan ; but only sixty thousand benches in barns and log- huts, as in Arkansas. No army of welleducated ministers will help instruct and moralize the community ; but ignorant ranters or calculating hypocrites will stalk through the Christian Year, perverting the Bible to a Fugitive Slave Bill, and denying the Higher Law which God writes in Man. 9. There will be no laws favoring all men; but statutes putting the neck of Labor into the claws of Capital, by which the strong will crush the weak, and enslave the |
