For whenever this spt eies of property is entirely concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy planters, the strongest of all inducements to protect and do fend thi insititution is lost to the majority and poorer portions of our people, who will then- ee in the slaves ofthe ricli' only so many rivals in all the departments of labor and industry.
