They have put the negroes over us, not for thc negroes, good, but that we may toil ?u to enrich thc negroes, leaders and drivers, i aod that the negroes may aid in keep? ing up the Natioual. oligarchy.

The fact is, there is li.tie or no adhesion by good feeling, but only the temporary sustenance of an ?ppaient servitude, for the sake pf aD interest which culminates in real mas? tery." "Thc same condition of monopoly )btains in rite manufacturing interest, ?nd is aggravated by the scarcity of Hailed labor, [leading to combinations], ivhich at any moment may derange the irhole system of manufacture," &c. "As 0 agriculture, thc abolition of slavery ras productive of results, as regards our igricultural progress, whose hitter and ftjurious effects must be felt for an ndefinile period of time, unless some ithcr form of labor shall take [its] dace ; and yet this act of emancipation, uinous to our agricultural interests as t mu>t bc at the outset, cannot but c.sult favorably in thc end, j>roa'dcd it > mad* the stepjuug atone to a more dvaoeed and intelligent system.
