How, we should lilce to know, does the prosperity of the South depend upon slavery, when there are now thousands of suffering, depend- ant paupers, honest and industrious men, who are shut out from employ- ment because of the slave labor. They can scarcely get any compensation for their services, certamly not what they deserve, because of the competi- tion. Were the whole slave population emancipated, or the number by a 11 certain process greatly diminished, an opportunity would thus be afforde...d them of making at all events an humble competency. But now their ser- vices are not needed, there is no demand; the hardy negro is subservient, and can answer the most menial ends. It appears to us, therefore, that slavery, instead of benefitting the South, and rendering it more prosperous, has clearly a contrary effect. It certainly denies to the white man opportu- nities of employment, and thereby deprives him of those resources which he would othenvise obtain. Its evils are apparent to all, but it is in vain to remonstrate at this eleventh hour.
