Without this, england would keep us dependent urton her 'forever. Mr. M. said he was no - enemy to d South• ern labor. when advocating the' protection of the labor of the North. Ile never, for, liis part, - had beee - able — tolook — upott .the people of the North as the natural enemies of the people of the cotton growing regions of the South: Ile knew that Southern men called them " Yankees ;"- but they were Americans; our brethren and fellow-citi zens. With some Southern people 'the term "Yankee" was but, another name" for "enemy:" , But who had shed 'the first blood in our struggle for freedom ? The first trigger, that ever had been drawn in this land in resistance. of British tyranny had been drawn by a Yatilteefingery and they had followed out the feeling and acted on the same principle from that time to this. The policy of theentatry .had repeatedly shifted;.but the New England man had :conformed himself to its several changes. and had . thriven under them all. He had worked so hard and lived so economically,' and conducted his business so prudently, that"the GOvernmenf could, not,crush him,' do 'what it would; and its course hadnome times looked Very much as if it . wits in tended to accomplishthat very end.
