Would they pay half the expenses of the blockade ? It is manifest they would not. The blockade, to be effectual, would have to be a blockade of war, in which you prevented vessels from going either out or in ; and is it to be supposed that foreign nations would allow this? Is it to be presumed that Great Britain, which has millions of human beings whose very existence depends upon cotton, that the great interests of civiliza- tion would allow this grand material of human industry to be thus shu...t up and denied to them? Why, sir, it is not to be supposed for a moment. There are other powers which would prevent such a blockade, in addition to the resistance which might be expected from the section that it was attempted thus to coerce. I say, then, Mr. President, that it is idle to think of coercion.

Will you be bene- fited by the operation when you come to sum up its results and effects ?
