volume for additional remarks on the subjects discussed in the
preceding pages,--more particularly to chapters, 4, 5, 6, 7. But I
would ask, in the name of all that is sacred, what advantage, what
benefit under these circumstances is conferred on the Southern slaves
by emancipation? I know from personal observation, that Southern
slaves are better fed, better clothed, and better housed than are free
negroes, either North or South; in short, they are better paid for

dissension in our midst. Abolitionism in this country first originated
in, and has been sustained by, foreign interference, and religious
fanaticism. It is the last hope of European monarchies to destroy our
republic. The fact is notorious, and is susceptible of proof, that the
abolition excitement was first set on foot in this country by British

that her original object was the severance of this Union." One English
journal says, "The people of England will never rest, till slavery is
terminated in the United States;" and another says, "Slavery can only
be reached through the Federal Constitution." That is, slavery can
only be reached, by destroying our present form of government, and
