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 ent<r, and by a unanimous
vote, under tbe Constitution of 1787. : On the west Mary
land is bounded by Preston county, Virginia, containing,
in 1860, a free population of 18,812, and 67 slaves only.
Of the eight counties of the eastern shore of Maryland all
but one border On Pennsylvania or Delaware, and of the
western chore all but five border on Pennsylvania or this
District. 0 hese stx couniies, which border neither Dela
ware n ir this Dietrich contain far lessjthan one-seventh
the population of Maryland. Western Virginia, border
ing Maryland on the south and west, had just voted, with
great unanimity, to abolish slavery, and proposes
to become a free Stale. Within the heart of Maryland
stands this District, where slavery is now abolished, pro
ducing] serious losses and embarrassments to the Stats.
The two counties of Prince George and Montgomery, ad
joining this District, contained, 17,790 slaves in 1860,
biiug more than any other two eouulieaor Maryland, and
morethanohe-fiftboftheslavesintheState. How lon* can
slavery endure, aud of what value Is it iu these counties,
where every slave brought or cent to the Dlitrict is free,
and where it is already seriously contended that the
language of tbe Constitution. ■* slaves in one Stale n
esping into another,’’.cannot apply to tide Dittricti In
depdy vitb the feeliug ?o intensified already by this rebel'
Mon against slavery, it cannot Jong exist in Maryland.
By advancing legislation and public sentiment, the fugi
tive-slave lawia becoming inoperative, and slaves In Ma
ryland we now helrt- by a most precarious tenure. I
tpeak of tbe facts as they are, and not at sanctioning any
violation or evasion of the Constitution. Indeed, un
foreseen events, as this terrible rebellion progresses, may
sweep slavery from Maryland, without compensation or
colonization. a • -
But, independent of present or fature perils, it is pro
posed to prove, mainly by tbe cersiis,'that all the roate
rbUntemts of Maryland would be greatly promoted by
her prompt acceptance of the offer of Congress. We
uniat consider the Bros, soil, climate, mines, hydraulic'
power, location, shore line, bays; sounds, and rivers, and
each other causes as affect the progress of wealth and
population. In all cases, except where expressly stated*
th* populationlncludes slaves and free.
The relative progress of Maryland haa been Blow in
deed, The total pooalation of the Union; by the census
of /1700, vaa 3,929,827. of which Maryland, containing
then 819,728, constituted a twelfth - part, (12,29) In
1860, the Union numbered 31445,080, and Maryland
687,034, constituting ihenohlya forty-fifth pariyf 45.78.)
In 1790, the frde States numbered 1 968,455, Maryland’s
peiWatrn then being equal to one-sixth (6 12); but in
.38$&tMj:populatton of the free State* was 18,920,078.
-Maryland >s 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,<by the adoption of rthis measure, the increase!.of
our wealth would leave richer id 1870, tbis
wicked rebellion had never occurred. r
I sbail not now discuss the rectsons wby slavery bsß
thusairrsted the progress of tbe' fitates where it exists,
tmt, ab illustrative of the financial branch of this subject,
reference is now made . to table B. No. 9, attached to the
report of Ist of December, 1856, of r tho Hon. James
Guthrie, of Kentucky, then Secretary of the Treasury,
and one of the most sagacious, honest, and intrepid
men who ever held that office. This table shows that
the valne joer . capita of the manufacturiug and agri
cultural products of Maryland, including slaves in
the was $B3 85 for each inhabitant of
.all rages, colors, and sexes, or a total of $4B 889,834.
for the year, and that of. Massachusetts, at the-same
time. : was j $166.60 > 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. J. WAI.KEB, ;

W. B, WELLS, M. D, Buffalo, K. *f ter ft year’*

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,

Electrician than ali the “ pathieson earth besides

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

The repugnance of most patients to COD-LIVER
OlL,'and the inability of many to take it at all, has in
duced various forme of disguise for its administration
that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of
them answer in special cases, but nure often tbe.vehlcle
neutralizes the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as
unpalatable and of less therapeutic value. The repug
nance, nausea, Ac., to invaUdSj induced by disgust of tbe
