-iptly and successfully such interference. It rests with ourselves to meet and repel them. I look not for aid to this Government, or to the other States; not but there are kind feelings towards us on the part of the great body of the non slave-holding States; but as kind as their feelings may be, we may rest assured that no political party in those States will risk their ascen- dancy for our safety. If we do not defend ourselves none will defend us; if we yield we will be more and more pressed ...as we recede; and if we sub- mit we will be trampled under foot. Be assured that emancipation itself would not satisfy these fanatics, — that gained, the next step would be to raise the negroes to a social and political equality with the whites; and that being effected, we would soon find the present condition of the two races reversed. They axwl, their northern allies would be the masters, and we the slaves; the condition of the white race in the British West India Islands, as bad as it is, would be happiness to ours; — there the mother country is interested in sus- taining the supremacy of the European race.
