AN APPEAL FOR THE UNION. .BY HOH, BOBERT 3- WAIiKBB. LETTER SECOND; Washington, July 26,1862. Congress, on the 30th of April last, haring prof fered the nation’s aid io-BuoU States as would gra dually extinguish slavery within their, limits, the snhjeot demands most serious consideration. If the question cannot hare this peaceful solution, it may sooh solve it/elf in torrents of blood, aad'amid soents of ruin and desolation. We cannot fly from it if we would, nor can we .long-postpone the issue. ' Every day’s delay hurries us on to itnpendiog ruin, and those fatal words of destiny, if is too late, may ; soon sound the doom of the Ecpubiiol This ques- * tion, our only element of disoord, invited and still threatens foreign intervention. No other just, peaceful, practical, constitutional, and final settle ment has everjbeen proposed.gjlndeed, every plan which doeS : not solve the complex problem of slavery and negroism, which fails to provide for the gradual extinction of the ; institution, and Afri can ooldnization beyond our limits, only renews and inflames the contest. I approach with awe and solemnity the discus sion of this great question, and implore the calm andoasdid consideration of my countrymen. If the plan proposed by the President, and adopted by Congress, seems slow in securing total manu mission and colonization, it would be progressive and oertain. God works out the destiny of na tions by no sudden or spasmodic action. His great and beneficent changes are slow and gradual, but, when he wills destruction, it is sudden as the crash of the earthquake, or the sweep of the hurri oane,marked by ruin and desolation...Would;we avoid like disasters.in salving this stupendous problem, we must follow, in bumble faith, the. ways ol God, and thus, by gentle hut eonstaut and suc eessive movements, reach the grand result. I shall discuss this question under .no seotiotud or party aspect, no influence of ;pasaidn or preju dice, or any motive but 'the desire to promote the good of,my country. -Our national interests must be fully considered, as also those great moral principles and intellectual developments which exalt and dignify the character of man. [ shall examine the subjeot inductively and deduotively, the facts and the causes. By the census of 1790,"the sixteen States then enumerated held slaves, except Massachusetts, (then including Maine, although numbered sepa rately;) where the institution was abolished by s their State Constitution of 1780. The following table, from the census, shows the gradual disap-, pearance of slavery from seven Of these .States,’ the remaining eight States still continuing the in stitution.

Illinois, by bery Constitution of 1818, continued slavery in the State, but declared that-“children hereafter born sball be free.” An effort was made in Congress to defeat the i admission of Illinois, on the ground that its Constitution “ did not conform to the ordinance oi 1787,” but it was then decided by the House of Representatives, (117 to 54) that “ the ordinance did not extend to States.” In the Senate the vote w HS u?tawimous, (see Niles’ Regis ter, vol. 19, pp. 30.) Illinois adopted the Pennsyl vania system, and the laws of Rhode Island and Conneetiout are similar. The action of Indiana ef fected similar results. By the census, Hlinois had 817 slaves in 1820, 747 in 1830, 331 in 1840; and Indiana had 190 slaves in 1820, and 3in 1830 and 1840. Slaves born after the date of the act were emancipated thereby, in most of the States named in the above table. New York, by her act of 1799, continued in bondage the slaves then living, but those born after, the date of the law, were emanci pated at the age of 28; and in New Jersey, the males at 25, and the females at 21. ThiH slow and gradual process, in States having so few slaves, should inoulcate kinder and more indulgent feeling as to those loyal communities where the slaves are so much more numerous, and the time and mode of action so vital. The great model act of gradual emancipation, drawn by Benjamin Franklin, and adopted by Pennsylvania in 1780, liberated all tbe slaves horn after its date, and it is clear, as well from the messages of the President as from his pre vious recorded acts and opinions, that, when he speaks of gradual abolition, he contemplates this sys tem as mostiikeiy to be adopted by the Border States. In this aspect, considering the sum to be paid for the after born infants only, (recently valued offi cially by experts here at" $5O each,) and their gradual colonization abroad at proper ages, the whole expense was truly stated in my first tetter of the 28th June last at “ less than a few mouths cost of the war.” That letter avers that sueh aotion now by the Border States would hasten the war to a conclusion, and save vast expenditures of blood, and treasure, whilst decreasing the danger of foreign intervention. England then could only intervene as the avowed ally of Blavery, which would involve her in a revolution, un this subject the President speaks earnestly, and, no doubt, with full know ledge Ail the information from England, as well as from Prance, tends to the same conclusion, aad this is the view of all our real friends in Europe. That gradual emancipation should produce its full effect in our favor at home and abroad, it must be the act of the States in which slavery exists, thus manifesting their supreme devotion to the Union. Indeed, besides the risk averted, the expense thus saved would far exceed the oost of the measure. Orngress, in the absence of unforeseen disasters, will legislate further on the subject, but the faith of the nation is already plighted by the act of the tenth of April last; and a Government that eouid not be trusted to carry out, a pledge so sacred, would be hardly worth preserving. Under this act, however, each State can, if it think; proper make, row, its own proposal. Tbe exponas of $3OO for eaoh slave, as stated by some of the worthy Border-State members, con templates immediate abolition, but the cost ia small when confined to the afcer-born, (Post nati.) The estimated average cost of removal, of $lOO each, based on the few casual trips of vessels sent by the Maryland Colonization Society to Liberia, ia no criterion for the movement on a large settle by thi rnation, with Bhips making regu’ar trips, with return cargoes, opening a ecmmerce most beneficial to ns,, and soon refunding all the ex pense. Nor Bhonld we calculate all the trips to Liberie, when most’of them may be to the West Indies, Mexico) Csntral, or Southern America. Judging by the cost of European emigration, the average Charge should not exceed $2O each for adultß, children, and infants, and from New York toHaytiit is $l2 eaoh. By the census of 1860 the infant slaves, under one year old, bom in Maryland and surviving on the Ist June, 1860, were 2,391, which, at $5O each,(would c05t5119,550; and estimating the removal, at proper ages, at even $3O eaoh, ($71,730,) would make the eniira annual ex pense to the Government for emancipation in Ma ryland, and colonization $191,280, whioh yearly charge would be constantly decreasing, and in lit tle more than a generation have ceased altogether. Thus the financial difficulty entirely disappears. Before closing these letters I shall, from the data now being prepared, present an accurate estimate showing the verysmall cost of- gradual emancipa tion and colonization on this plan. For every ne fto thus removed, at least two Europeans will come ere, especially under the - homestead bill, proposed by me as a citizen in 1833, as . a Senator in 3836, and as Governor of Kan sas in 1857, and now," under more influ ential auspices, become a law. This bill in Missouri and other slave States can never have full operation until these lands, »s homesteads, are cultivated mainly by the whites only, as a result of the gradual emancipation and colonization of the negroes. Then, the time, greatly acceleratedby the homestead bill, would soon come when our Union would embrace the wbits hace only, and not the mongrel admixture of colors now so fear fully progressing North and'South. Strange that any advocating the exclusion of negroes from their States should oppose this plan of the President, or that any, always'maintaining the physical, moral, and intelleotual inforiority of the negro race, should desire to retain it here forever, and in rapidly in creasing and commingling numbers If the tables attached to hoy letter of January, 1844, based on the census of 1840, should (as is believed) be con firmed by the census and statistics of 1860, showing that one-sixth of the free blaoks of the North are supported by taxation of the whites, thi3 augment ing expenditure would, in time, pay the whole ex pense of carrying into effeot the policy of gradual emancipation and colonization. The census proves that our progress has been greatly retarded by slavery. If the North had retained, and the South abolished slavery, their relative positions would have been reversed; Virginia would bare taken the place of Now Vork, Maryland of Massachusetts, Delaware of Bhode Island, Kentucky of Ohio, Mistonri of Illiooie, and Terme.are of Indiana. . I Bhall begin with Maryland, because in proportion to her area, Bbe has greater natural advantages than any one of tbe thirty-four States, and if the comparison with the free States is most unfavorable to her, it will he more eons to any other Southern State, as the ceosue shows that, from 1790 to 1860, and from 1850, to 1860, the in crease tf population in Maryland,-per square mile, was greater than in any other Blaveholding State. Maryland borders for two hundred miles tbe great free State of Pennsylvania, and Delaware one. hundred and thirty miles, whose slaveß have decreased from 8,887 in 1790 io 1,798 in 1860, and where , now , exists in nameonlyh Delaware (like Maiylaiid) is also a ioyai State, and would he tbe last to leave that Onion, which it was her glory the first to ents number then being equal only to one twenty* seventh part (27 52.) Bat, if Maryland had increased as rapidly from 1790 to 1860 as the whole Union, her pro-* portion, one-twelfth part, would have madeher number*, In J 860,2.620,315, and if her,proportional - Increase 'had equalled that of tbe free States, her ratio, one-steth, 'would have madejier population, iu 1860, 3,153,302. From her small area, (seven States being smaller,) she wotild,not have reached eitherof tbese reßultsi but, before closing there letters, it wiil .be proved that, in the absence of slavery, her population, in 1860, would have liren at Jeast 1,775 681, or the same.per square mite aa Mwsacbuselfr, and Baltimore, bearing the same ratio to this number as to Maryland's present population, would hare contain d, in 1880,542,000 instead of 212,000, her preseit number. . > V' i •, v-, I take the areas from the able report (Nov. 29, I 860,) of tbe Hon. Joseph 8. Wilson, then Commissioner of tbe General Land Office, where these areas are for the first time accurately given by actual admeasurement “ exclu ding tbe water surface.’’ Tbe population is taken from tbe census, tbe tables of 1860 and 1860 being compiled with great ability, by tbe present superintendent, the Hon, J. O. G. Kennedy. 1 compare first, Massachusetts and Maryland, because they are maritime and old States, and feotb, in 1790, bad nearly the same population, hut, as will be t-hown hereafter, with vastly superior natural advantages in favor of Maryland. : Area of Maryland, 11,124 square miles, shore line, by tables of United States Ooast Survey, viz: main shore, including bays, Bounds, Ac., 503 miles; Islands, 298; rivers, to bead of tide water, 535. Total, 1,336 miles. ' Area of Massachusetts, 7,800 square miles, shore Hoe, by tables of United States Coast Survey—-viz: Main shore, including bays, sounds, Ac , 435 miles; islands, 259; rivers to bead of, tide water,7o.. Total, 76* mhos. When we mark the Potomac and its tributaries, the lower Susquehanna, ;the deep and numerous streams of the Chesapeake, tho commercial advantages of Maryland oyer Massachusetts are vast indeed. Looking atthe ocean shore of Maryland, and also at the Chesapeake bay, the largest and finest estuary in the world, Indented with numerous Bounds and navigableiulets, three fourths of its length ier both shores being within Maryland, and compare this deep and tranquil and protected basin, al most one continue ua harbor, with the rook-bound co*st of Massachusetts lashed by the stormy‘Atlantic, the superiority of Maryland is striking. '• Moi tality in Maryland, by the late census, viz; deaths from Ist June, 1859, to 81st May, 1860, 7,370 persons. Same Umo in Massachusetts, 21,804, making the ratio of. deaths to the number living in Maryland, one to every 03, {93.20,) and in Massachusetts, one to every 57, (57.76,) and the pßr centage of deaths in Maryland 1.09, and in Massachusetts' 1.78. This rate of mortality fur Massachusetts Is confirmed bytbelateofficial report of their Secretary of State to the Legislature. As to area, then, Maryland exceeds Massachusetts 43 per cent ; ns to the shoreline, thatofMaryland is nearly double that of Massachusetts, having 68 miles more of main shore, bays and sounds, 38 miles more for islands; and nearly eight times the number of miles for , rivers to -head of tide water. As to climate, thatof Maryland, we have seen, is far the most salubrious. This is a vast advantage, not only in augmented wealth and numbers, from fewer deaths, but also as attracting capital and emigration. This milder and more salubrious climate gives. to Maryland longer, periods for sow tug, working, and harvesting crops, a more genial sun, larger products, and better and louger crop aeasons, groat ad vantages for etock,, especially in winter, decreased con sumption of fuel, a greater period for the use of hydrau lic power, and of canals and navigable streams. The area of Maryland, fit for profitable culture, is more than double that of Massachusetts, the soil much fertile, Kb minesof coal and iron, with the 'flaxes all adjacent, rich and inexhaustible, whereas Massachusetts has ho> coal, and no valuable mines of iron or flaxes. When we reflect that iron and. coal are rthe great elements of modem progress, 1 and build up mighty empires, this advantage of Maryland over Massachusetts, is almost in calculable. The hydraulic power of Maryland also greatly exceeds that of Massachusetts. Such are the vast natural advantages of Maryland over Massachusetts.- Now let us observe the results. Population of Maryland in 1790,; 319,728: in 1860, 687,034; increase, 867,800* Population of Massachusetts in. 1790, 878,717; in 1860, 1,231,035; increase 852,348; difference of increase in favor of Mas sachusetts, 485,048; excess of Massachusetts over Mary-: land in 1790, 58,989, and in 1860, 544.031 This re sult Is amazing, when we regard the far greaetr area .of Maryland and her other vast natural advantages.; The population,of Maryland in 1790 was 28 to the square mile, (28.74,) and in 1860, 61 to the square mile, (61.76,) whereas Maswchnaetis had 43 to the square mile in 1700, (48.55,) and 157 to tbe square mile In 1860, .(15? 82.) Thus Massachusetts bad only 29 more to the square in 1790. and 96 more to the square mile in iB6O. But it the areas of Maryland and Massachusetts had been reversed, Massachusetts with the area of Maryland, and the population of Massachusetts of 1860 to the square mile, would have numbered then 1,755,661, and Mary land, with the area of Massachusetts .a&drdae population of Mary land of iB6O to the square mile, would have had then a population of only 481,728 upon that basis, leav ing Massachusetts in 1860,1,273 : 393 more people than Maryland. Tens is the assertion in a former part of this letter how proved, “ that in the absence of slavery, the population of Marvland in 1869 would .have tbea been at least 1,755,661, and Baltimore at feftsts42,ooo.” But, in view of the many ether natural advantages cf Maryland, as ebown in this letter, viz: In climate and salubrity, in shore line and navigable rivers, in fertility of-soil and hydraulic power, In a more centra) location for trade with the whole Union, and especially with the. West, end ncaier supplies of cotton; and, above all,in coal and iron. It Is clear, in the absence of slavery, Maryland nonet have contained, in 18e0. a population of at least two millions. By tbe census of 1790 Maßsacbasetes was tbe fourth iu population of all the States, and Maryland .the sixth; but in 3860 Massachusetts was the seventh, and Maryland the nineteenth, and if each of; the tbirty fonr States Increases in tbe same ratio from 1860 to 1870, as from 1850 to 1860, Maryland will be only the twenty fifth State. n. These facts .all ~ conclusively attest the terrible effects of Blavery.on Maryland, and is only one of the dreadful sacrifices she has made in.retainiog the institution. As to wealth, power, and intellectual development, the loss cannot be overstated. Nor can manufactures account for the difference, as shown by the ati’l- greater increase of the agricultural northwest Besides, Maryland, (omitting slavery,) had far greater natural advantages for manufactures than 1 Massachusetts She had a more fertile soil; thus fur nishing cheaper food to the working classes, a larger and more accessible coast, and nearly eight timeß the length of navigable rivers, greater hydraulic power, vast anpa- : rioTity in mines of coal and iron, a far more salubrious climate, cotton, the great, staple of modern industry, much nearer to Maryland, her location far more central for trade with the whole Union,and Baltimore, her chief city,nearer,than Boston tothe great West—viz: to; the Ohio at Pittsburg and Oincinnati, the Mississippi at St. Xibuis, and the lakes at Cleveland, Toledo, and Ohicago, by several hundred miles, indeed, but for slavery Ma ryland must have been a fsr greater manufacturing as well as commercial State than Massachusetts—and as to agriculture, there could be no comparison. • But Massachusetts did not become a maoufacturini: State until after the tariff of 1824. That measure, as well sb the whole protective policy, Massachusetts earnestly oppoßf d in 1820 and 1824, and Daniel Webster, as her re presentative, denounced it as unconstitutional. From : 1790 to 3820 Massachusetts was commercial, not manu facturing, and yet, from 1790 to 1820, Massachusetts in creased in numbers 144,442, and Maryland, in the same time; only 87 622. Tet, from 1790 to 1820, Massachusetts, tbe most commercial State, was far more injured by the embargo and the late war with England than any other Biale. /' ■/ v , There is one invariable Zaw, whether we compare all the slave States with ail the free States, small States with ; Bin all, large with large, old with old, new with new, re tarding the progress of the slaveholding States, ever ope rating and differiog in degree only. . Tbe area of the nine free States enumerated in 1790, is 169,668 square miles, and of the eight slaveholding States 300,580 square miles, whilst the population of the former in 1790 was 1,968,455. and of the latter, 1.961,372; bat, in 1860, these nine free States had a population of 10,694,- 168, and those eight slave States only 7,414,684, making the difference In favor of these free States, in 1860, over those slave States, 3,179,844, instead of 7,083 in 1790, or a positive gain to those free States over those slave States of 3,172,761. These free States enumerated in 1790 and 3860, were the six New England States, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; mid the slave States were Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Caro lina, South Georgia, Tennessee, and Ken tucky— -yet we have seen that the 'area of those slave States was nearly double that of those free States, the* soil much more "fertile the climate more salubrious, as shown by tbe census, and the shore line; includiogmain shore, bays and soundi, islands -and riivers, to head of, tidewater, was, for those free ..States, 4,480 miles, and for those slave States 6,560 miles. Thus, it is clear that tbe Increase ot population - of these slave States should have far exceeded that of those free States. Tbe population of these slave States per-square mile, in 1790, .was six (6 52), and in ’IB6O, 24, (24.66), and of those free States in 1790, was eleven • per square mile (11.60), and in 1860, 62 per square mile (62.44). Thus, wbhst the increase of those slave States, from 1790 to iB6O, was only 18 per square mile, that of those free States was nearly 51 per-square mile (50.84), or in very nearly a triple ratio, whilst in wealth and education the proportionate progress wastuuchgreater. I Bhall consider in-my next letter the relative advance ot Maryland and Massachusetts in 'wealth and educa tion from 1790 to 1860, the result appearing incredible, = but for the authentic facts. No cause, except slavery, can be assigned for ibis wonderinl difference, for, in in tellect, the colonists of Maryland were equal to thosß of Massachusetts, and long preceded them in religious tole ration and gentle culture. While the advance of Massa chusetts with her limited area aud Bterile soil, especially in view of the thousands of her native sons who have emigrated to other States, is one of the wonders of the world, yet, tbe relative Increase of the population of New Jersey from 1790 t 0,1860, compared with that of Maryland, is still greater than that of Massachusetts. The law is inflexible wherever slavery disappears. Population of New Jersey, m 1790,184,139; in 1860, 672,035, Icing an inreease of 264 per cent. (264.96) for New Jersey, of 225 per cent. (225.06) for Massachusetts, and for Maryland 114 per cent (114 88). The ratio of increase per square mile from 1790 to 1860 was: Massa chusetts, 48-55 in 1790, and 157 82 in 1860; Maryland, . 28.74 in 1790, and 61,76 in 1860, and New Jersey, 22 01 in 1790, aid 80.70 in 3860. Thus, whilst Mary land, from 1790 to 1860, little more than doubled her ratio of increase per square mile (V 8.74 to 6.1.76), and Massachusetts a little more than tripled her ratio (48 65 to 157 82), New Jersey very nearly. fuadrupled hers—2201 to 80.70; It must becoocsded, owever, that the natural advantages of New Jersey are -greater than those of Massachusetts r Now, the area of New_ Jersey is bnt 8,320 rquammlleß; the soil of Mary land is far more fertile: the hydraulic-power much great* er; tbe Bhore line much more than double—viz: 531 for New Jersey to 1.336.f0r Maryland, whilst New Jersey, with rich iron mines, baa no coal, and one-third of her area is south of the c-lebrated Ma «n’e and Dixon’s. Hue, the, northern boundary of Maryland.' The comparison, however, which I shall present of New York and "Virginia will be tbe most as tounding, while little less remarkable will be found that of North Carolina with Pennsylvania, Kentucky with Ohio, Tennessee with .Indiana; Georgia and Missouri with Illinois, Arkansas with Michigan, Alabama and Texes with lowa, or Minnesota, Mississippi and Louisi ana with "Wisconsin, Delaware with Rhode Island, South Carolina with Maine, or Vermont. All, however, prove the same Jaw, and exbibit the some paralyzing effect of slavery. Whilst, fchei Fine States have accomplished these miracles or progress, they have peopled seven vast Territories (soon by subdivision to become many more States,) emi gration to which has been almost exclusively from the Norlb, ae compared with tbe South, It is clear that if the South retains tbe institution, it will, before the close of this century, sink into comparative insignificance, and contain lees than a sixth in population of the Union. After the calamities which slavery hss brought upon the South, the ruin and desolation the rebellion has already accomplished there, who from the North or from Europe will hereafter emigrate to any State retaining the system, whilst thousands of the native sons ofthe South have al ready fled North or to Europe, and hundreds of thou sands will follow. The slave State which has increased most rapidly to the square mile, of afl of them from 1790 to 1860, has had a smaller augmentation per square mile than that free State which has increased most slowly per square mile during the same time of all tbe free Statfa, and the re sult is the same,as to wealth and education also. Under the best ciicumstancea for the slave States, and the worst for the free States, this result proves the uniformity of the rule, (like tbe great law of gravitation,) knowing ne exception to the effect of slavery, in depressing the pro gress of States in population, wealth, aid education. Would we then in all these advance more raplily, we muEt remove slavery, and negroiam, the retarding cause.' I know, it is aßked, how- shall we then cnitivate the cotton lauds of the South without slaves* This does not. apply to tbe Border States, but before closing these letterß, I will prove conclusively, by the census and other statistics, what, from long resi dence in the South,’ and from having traversed every Southern State, I know to be true, that cotton is now raised there most extensively and profitably by non - slaveholders, and upon farms using exclusively-white labor. In Texas, especially, this is a great truth, nor is there a doubt that skilled, educated, persevering, and energetic free labor, engaged voluntarily for wageß or its own mo, would in time, especially when afdtd by lea* I roved culture and machinery, produce much larger crops and better cotton than now raised by the forced and ignorant labor of slaves, and at a much cheapo* rate,'' et a far greater profit than any crop now produced iu the North and In a more salubrious climate, as Bhown by tbo cer sus.: . , , ; ,Tlio ißothermals of the great Humboldt, (differing so widely from parallels,) which trace tbe lines of tempera ture on the earth’s,surface,-prove, as to heat, the climate ' of the South to be more substantially the same as that of Greece and Borne, each, in their turn, tbe mistress of thß world I know, when. the term isothermal was used in my inaugural as Governor of Kansas, it was repre sented by 80106 of our present rebel leaders to. the masses of the South, as some terrible monster, per haps the Yankee sea serpent, but. I now use the 'lmn again in no offence, frota its important ap plication to Jhe present case, and knowing: that, what I now advise would produce incalculable bene fits to the whole country,.bnt especially to the South. Indeed, if Texas, with her 274,356 square miles of area, very nearly six times that: of New York, with her salu brious climate and fertile soil, already worked to a great extent by free labor, were a free Slate, she would, In time, contain a larger population than any State of the . Union. Texes has 70 SZOsluar* miles more than. Branco, and with ihopresenl population of Belgium to the squire mile, would contain more than one bunded millions of - people, see pages 29 and 35, introduction to the census of. 3850 by tho Superintendent, published by Congress. Having in 1837, offered in the j Senate of the United States; and carried, the. resolution recognizing the independence of Texas, first proposing in my letter of the Bth January, 3844, the mode, by compact, (alone practicable,) by which, on my moti6n, Texas was admitted into the Union, vdistlnctiy advocating in . this letter the xeannexatlon of . Texas, with a vigw to secure the ultimate disappearance : of slavery and cegrolßin from the.whole country,iu op position tothe object officially.avowed by Hr. Calhoun, to annex Texas for the purpose of perpetuating slavery, I shall; in’* future letter, discuss this subject, involving not only our famishing a certain and abundant supply of chtap cotton, but securing thereat monopoly of this great product, due to ourjrec* diar Boil.and climate, and thus ultimately increasing our products and manufac tures thousands of millionsof dollars, and giving us tho control of the commerce of the world, ir.ir. • ; If Maryland would only initiate this policy, and come to the rescue of the Union from rebellion and foreign Intervention, |she would inscribe her name first on the . page of history and in the gratitude of her country and mankind. The position of Maryland upon- the ''Chesa peake, the Potomac, the Susquehanna, and the Atlantic, is meat'commanding. She surrounds tbe capital.- It was her own noble donation, and she is Its national guardian and sentinel. Her waters, cutting the Bine Mountains and the Alleghany, flow Into the Atlantic aad Mississippi, thus making her au Eastern and a Western. State. Throughout all her borders, not a citizen would lose anything by tbe change proposed, but all would be enriched. Take down the barriers of slavery, and a new and unprecedented current of .population and capital would flow into tbe State : Propertrwould rifle Immemely in value, the price of her lands would soon reach those of Pennsylvania, new towns and cities would spring into life, Cumberland would. soon equal the great manufacturing cities of the North, and the railroad to Pittsburg would soon be completed- Baltimore would fulfil fcermighty. destiny, and a canal theSusquehanita, ■.equal to the grand work of New York, would connect her with Lakes Erie and Ontario. Such would be the effect of this measure on the material interests of Maryland, and, let me add, of at leaßt, all the Border Stales, whilst the President does not overstate its influence in crushing the rebellion and restoring peace. This measure, adopted by Maryland and tbe {Border States, and the rebel cause would be regarded as hopeless, at home and abroad, and would be abandoned in despair. Dreadful, indeed, is the responsibility to Gcd and their country of all who oppose this measure. ■ . Mary land, the Border States and the South would then indeed commence a new career of progress by removing slavery and ntgroisin, and their;augmented wealth,' and that of tbe whole couctry, would soon return to the Go vernment, in inci eased revenue, a sain far exceeding the coßt of graduAl emancipation and colonization. Indeed, if. as a mere financial question, I were devising the most effective plan for liquidating tbe national debt and re ducing oar taxes, it would bo thus vastly to augment, in a few years, our wealth and population by . the adoption of this system. This, then, instead of a plan as charged mot! erroneously to increase taxes, is a system which, by adding rapidly to our productive population and wealth, would soon materially reduce the rate of tana-' tion. Tbe same principle (especially in the South) will apply in paying State debts and reducing State-taxation. Tbe census of-1860 exhibits our increase of population from 1790 to 1860 at. 35.59 per cent.,, and of our wealth 126.45. Now, if we would itcrease the wealth of the country only one-tenth in the next ten years, by the iraunal disappearance of slavery and negroism (far be ow tbe results of the census,) then our wealth being now 316,159,616,C68, the effect of Buch increase would; be, to make our wealth, in 1870, instead of §36,593,. 450,685, more than sixteen hundred millions.greater, being more than threß times our. present debt, and in 1680, instead of §82,865,868,849,’ over three biltioas, six hundred millions more, or more than seven times our pmemdebt. .... •-.■ •„ The results will be accurately given when the census tables are finished, but tbB facts stated ure sufficiently approximate to prove the immense effect of the increase; of national wealth In taxation. It will be a gratifying fact, and “ justifying the wais of God to man, n if, asareward fordoing our duty, each,' or a; total of $165,68.4,- 645 for the year. If the earnings of commerce were added, it would still further and meet largely Increase the comparison in favor of Massachusetts.. ThLg reault, how ever, shows that the disappearance of Blavery ’from the South, and,'as a consequent, the duplication of the value of their annual products, would increase the total wealth of the nation; every ten years, much more than ten per cent. Such would be the certain result of the gradual disappearance of slavery and segroißin from the Souih, .and, as a coDßequence, our cordial reunion. Bat total and immediate abolition would ruin both North and South, and wiJh; vastly diminished resources, devolve substantially upon the North alone the whole burden of the war debt. With ibis question thus settled, the Union restored and perpetuated, our only element of discord extirpated by tbe gradual removal of slavery and negroism, we would be und forward in a new and wonderful career of pros perity. Our noble vessel of State, the great Republic, frdgbed with tbe hopes of humanity, and tbe liberties of Our country and of mankind, Btill bearing aloft the flag of our mighty Union, indissoluble by, domestic traitors or conspiring oligarchs, will, under Divine guidance, pess ovtr ihe troubled waters, reassuring a desponding world, as she glides into the blessed haven of safety and repose All the miracles of onr past career would be eclipsed by the glories of the future. We might then laugh to scorn the impotent malice ef foreign fees'. "Without force or fraud, wlthout scep tre or bayonet, our moral influence and example, fir iheir : own good, and by their own free choico, would control the Institutions and destiny of nations. Tbe wise men of the East ma> then journey westward again, to see tbe rising sun of a regenerated humanity; the fall of thrones and dynasties; the lifting up of the down-trodden masses; and the political redemption of our race, not by a new dispensation, but by the fulfil ment thus of tbe glorious prophecies and blessed promises of Holy Writ. And. can we not Ift ourselves into that serene atmosphere of love of country and of our race, above all selfish'schemes or mere party devices, and con template tbe grandeur of these results, if now. note, now, we will only do ourduty 7 Now; indeed, is the u accept ed time :” now is the day for the salvation of our country. And cow, as in former days of trouble, let us remember the mighty dead, as, when living, silencing the voice of treason and calming the tempest of revolution, he .utter ed those electric words, teUKIOX’AXD LIBERTY, NOW ANO FOREVER, ONE AND INSEPARABLE.” ; If we could rise to the heights of prophetic vision, be hold the proceßfcion of coming events, and, unrolling tbe scroll of advancing years and eenturies, contemplate our Union, securing by its example the rights and liberties of man, would we not welcome , any sacrifice, even death iteeif, if we could thus Aid in accomplishing results so : God-like and sublime! But, whether in gloom or g'ory, • chastened for national sins or rewarded for. good deeds, ; let us realize the great truth, that the Almighty directs nations as well as planets in their course, governs the moral as well as the material world, never abdicating for a moment the control of either, and that persevering op position to Mb laws roust meet, in the end, retributive justice.- B.

D, Buffalo, K. *f ter ft year’* practice, writes to Prof. B. as follows; 1 think nsy faith fully comprehends the fact that Elec tricity, correctly applied, according to. your discovery.- to abundantly competent to core all curable diseases. . My experience, and success, alter extensive fully warrant tbk assertion. Were I sick with a fatal disease, I wonld far sooner truet nry life in the' hands of a skilful Electrician than ali the “ pathieson earth besides Buffalo, X. Y. ' W. B. WELLS, fit. D. ; D. MoCABTHYi M; D.: . s / I Bin folly satisfied that Electricity, when understood according to its polarities and their relations to the fixed laws of the vital economy,: as taught by you, is the most powerful, manageable,, and efficient agent known to man for the relief of pain and cure of disease. I would. far ther Btate that I have for the past few weeks used Elec tricity in my practice, to the exclusion of nearly alt other remedies, and have been eminently successful, and con sider it a universe therapeutic. Dayton, Ohio. D. MoOABTHY, M. D, V. W. MANSFIELD, M. D. For the last nine month 0 I have made Electricity a spe cialty, mid my faith is daily increasing in its therapeutic effects, and I believe, when applied according to your discovery, it will cure all curable diseases, among which ; are numerous cases never benefited by medicine. Rcfpalo, N. Y. p. w.- Mansfield, m.d. AMOS GRAY, M. D. I would reeommend iny brethren In the medical pro-' feation to avail themselves of an opportunity of becom ing acquainted with Prof. Bolles’ bow method of applying Electricity, which -I-think is hot known to medical men, except those who have availed ihomsalves of bis instruc tion, forZam very.confident i that: muchinjury must be the result of a wrong, unskilful application of so power tttlan agent. A&I03 GBAX, M. D. Detroit, Michigan; H.G. KTBBY, M. D. What I have now to Bay is from actual observation, as I have spent most of my time for the last two month* with Prof. Boiloa, and hare witnessed the effectsof the .Elec tricalagent on from fifteen to twenty-five patients a day, eufleringfrom almost every form of chronic disease; and, as strange as it may appear* in a majority of cases, a per fect cure was effected in from five to fifteen days. And I will here remark that most of his patients wore afflicted with long standing complaints, considered incurable by alb other known remedies. H. G. KIRBY, 61. D. Cincinnati, Ohio. DAVID; THUBSTPF, M. D.: . . I believe your discovery to be ft reliable tberapputio agent, and feel it my duty tv rocomtuond it. Since I have received instruction from you I have applied it in cases of Aphony, Bronchitis, Chorea, Amenorrbcea, Asthma, ami.Congestion, Bed Sod that X have the. same success thy yen had when I was under your, instruction. ■ I in variably recommend medical monto avail themselves of an opportunity of becoming acquainted with yonr new mi thod of applying Electricity. Detroit, Michigan. DAVID THTTBSTON, M. D. MABVIN GODDABD, M. D. Prof. Bolles: A great revolution in uiy mind and prac tice h»B taken place since I became BCQaainted with your new discovery of applying Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications of Electricity as a curative agent. I have found by many experiments that Electricity is a sife therapeutic agent in all acute and chronic - cases when applied according to your discovery. I desire that medi co men should become conversant with your discovery. , Cleveland, Ohio. MABVIN GODDABD, M. D. . Boohbbtbb, K. Y., Sept. 10,1850. Prof. BoLLES—Dear Sir i The more I investigate this system of practice, the more confident I am that it il all powerful to meet the ten thousand diseases to which flesh ie heir. ;- < You, who first discovered Electricity to be a reliable therapeutic agent, should be considered a great benefac tor of the race, for it is the only reliable system of cure for the woes aod ills of Buffering humanity.. It is strange that physicians have become so wedded to their several systems, brought up from the darkness of past ages, that they willcloao their eyes against the light now beam lug forth through this system of practice. All other sys tems I regard as the morning star to the rising sun. P. SfIEDD, M. D. Prof; BOLLES: The nearer X conform to your system of application, the more successful I am, and as I have examined all the guides and works published upon the subject, and seen nothing in reference to your theory, I do not hesitate to saylbelieve it to be original with you, and the onlyreli able system extant for curing disease. Bespectfully yours, Toronto. chas.bahdaLL, M. D. The opinion of a medical map, after thirty years* practice, fifteen in Allopathy and fifteen in Homoeo pathy t .Prof. Bolles—-Dear Sib : X never have, since yon gave meinetructioD in your new discovery of applying Electri city, and God forgive me if I io the future overdo, practice either Eomceopathy or Allopathy. I have beenstrictly go verned by the philosophy you laid dowr, and for the best of reasons—namely: That I am generally successful, and I frar.kly say to yon that I am done ; with medicine forever. My success has been great since I have been in New ark, N. J. JAMES P. GBEVES, M D., 200 Pine street, Philadelphia. N.B-—ln addition to the above extracts, Prof. B. could furnish over one thousand, folly showing that he is well known to the medical and scientific world as the dis coverer ef all that is reliable in the therapeutic admini stration of Electricity, and that all other operators bow in the different cities (except those qualified by him) are using Electricity at hazard, and Pref,»B. takes this oc casion to caution the community against charlatans.
