if there be such a word, l'erhaps

of every other white man. Tt has recon
ciled universal sulTrage throughout the

benefits to the North and West, which arc
many and more obvious. Hut the South,
too, has profited many ways by a union
with the non-slaveholdlng States. Enter
prise, industry, self-reliance, perseverance,
and the otlwr hardy virtues of a people
living in a higher latitude and without
hereditary servants, she has learned and
received from the North. Sir, it is easy,
I know, to denounce ail this, and to revile
him who utters it. le it so. " The Eng
