But the entire South have now no free, isothermal territory. There must be poor men in the South, who would be glad to live in a climate congenial to the place of their nativity ; why not provide a free Territory where their laudable aspirations for an independent living upon their own farms may be gratified ? It is amusing to hear it announced that the South fought for the country, and if we exclude slavery, we banish the people of the South — the soldiers — from the acquir- ed possessions. Le...t it be remembered that slaveholders do not carry knapsacks upon their backs. It is the poor of the South who have done that. The slave- holders are rewarded with the offices. These soldiers — men who have done the labor of the campaigns, who have suffered the greatest privations, obeyed every command, and met every danger — should be amply provided for. Think ye that these men, rocked in the cradle of virtuous poverty, fought for the extension and perpetuation of slavery? I greatly mistake the tendencies of man's nature, if the daring and brave but humane and sympathetic poor have any substantial alliance with the institution of slavery.
