ened by sails from most every land, and their marts resound with voices as unhomogenious as have been heard since the building of the tower of Babel.

Peopled by Americans as they must be, and cultivated by slave labor to their utmost capacity as they will be, what position in the agricultural and commercial world, could they not attain in their progress, controlled by Americans!

When the forests and swamps of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, are cleared, and thoroughly drained, so that this region, from the labor of the negro, inured to the malaria arising from the decomposition of trees and decaying vegetation, when first broken up, in this hot climate, shall be fully reclaimed, and rendered comparatively a garden in every section: the negroes of these States, by gradual progression, as we shall acquire further possessions in Mexico, for instance-the States of Vera Cruz, Tabasco, Chiapas, Oajaca, Puebla, Mexico, Queretaro, Guanuajuato, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Guadalajara, with Central America and the West Indies, must be transferred thither to open and reclaim the forests and swamps of tropical America, letting the States in the rear become free States, and thus reciprocate the North for her effort in connection with the South, towards the acquisition of new regions, transcending in fertility those lands from which the negroes shall have emigrated.

The tropics of America in point of climate, fertility and productions, are the home and field for the negroes; their peculiar texture, organization, natural

servile submission to a superior, and their color, which stamps on them the purposes for which they were created and are used, or else they would have been white, combine to prove that they were created to be hewers of wood and drawers of waters, and to serve as pioneers in the progress of agriculture, directed by the foresight and discretion of the whites. The climate of these States varies, yet not so extremely as further north in the United States. The nights in Mexico are invariably cool, and especially above two thousand feet of altitude.

Mexico is divided into three climates-the torrid, which embraces the sea-board and up to an elevation of two thousand feet, and in this abounds vegetation in all its grandeur and magnificence, where the heat during the day is intense, however, with comparative cool nights: the temperate, which embraces the region between the elevation of two thousand, and five thousand feet above the sea, where perpetual spring reigns, and the variation during the year, in point of climate, that is, heat and cold, is only eight or nine degrees; and in this region vegetation is perpetual, from the influence of the fogs, which often prevail: and the frigid, which embraces the whole region above the elevation of five thousand feet; though, more commonly the winters are as mild here as at Naples in Italy, where, in the coldest season, the medium heat of the day is from 55° to 58° F.; and in the summer, the thermometer in the shade does not rise above 76° F. Whereas, in the torrid and temperate regions of Mexico, the mean annual temperature would not exceed 82° of Fahrenheit's

thermometer. Hence arises the equality of the seasons, which are two: rainy, which begins in June and continues four months; and the dry which begins in October, and lasts till June following. Consequently during a great portion of the year, it is necessary to depend on irrigation, which creates a succession of crops below the elevation of five thousand feet.

From this circumstance, we have seen produced, in these favored regions, three crops of corn per year, with a good yield each time; and beans also, which are, in Mexico, a staple article of food for all classes, once and even twice per day. Though the city of Mexico is situated in the frigid zone of the Republic; yet it possesses a most temperate climate, from the fact of its being surrounded by high elevations or ridges of a circuitous mountain. Though the thermometer seldom falls below the freezing point, yet in the coldest season, the mean temperature of the day varies from 55° to 70° F., while in the summer the thermometer, in the shade, seldom rises to 75° F.; and the annual mean temperature is 65°, being nearly equal to that of Rome. From these facts which bear the same relation to Central and South America, with the West Indies, above the region of two thousand feet from the Ocean up, we can see the land adapted to rear genius and the directing will; while we see lands adapted to the physical endurance of the negroes, below that region.

In the cultivation of these rich and congenial lands, no products known to man need want a climate, and soil, and hands to test their virtues and values,

when slave labor shall be fully introduced there, as God ordained in the beginning.

All the spices, luscious fruits, and valuable medicines of India can here be cultivated by well disciplined labor, and their annual products made certain, by the most ample means of irrigation, which, through the genius of Americans, could be readily brought into use. That the destiny of Americans is to occupy equatorial America with slave labor, by which we mean the present negro labor and its sequence, no mind can reasonably doubt, except such a mind as is contracted and distorted in its endeavor to arrive at just and reasonable conclusions, taking in view the order of nature.

No one, not the most fanatic Abolitionist, doubts when he sees two and two added together, make four, not three; nor can he question the existence of the earth on which he treads, nor but that it is made with a design to be cultivated, which is coupled with that of his hunger. When he sees the return of labor, his mouth waters, his eye glistens, and his stomach yearns for the golden morsel! There is design in all this. The Creator intended that the earth should be cultivated with its most choice seeds, in order, and according to system, (though first dropped promiscuously) for the special benefit of that race who are created after the image of Him, with the power of penetration and forecast, which so much distinguishes man from the existences of color, in all that is grand and noble! That equitorial America is not cultivated to one-hundredth part of its present capacity one can be easily convinced by reverting to

its remarkable fecundity, as remarked before this, and to its population to the square mile. Is this vast field to lie eternally a waste, a solitary wilderness, with a patch of ground cultivated here and there, to foster nothing more than mere animal instinct? And is the African race to be the mere tell-tale drones, the embodiments of slothfulness, of debauchery and anarchy, to live and drag out a poor miserable existence, without being forced as they now are in Brazil, Cuba and the United States, to act their part, that useful and servile part, upon which genius erects the hope, yea, the basis of its aspirations?

For a State to be prosperous and happy, there must be in it one ruling race, all of one complexion, and of a peculiar texture to itself; otherwise, jealous distinctions arise into civil war, which shake the pillars of State, and topple them to earth! Such would be the case in the United States were the relations of master and slave severed; for a desire to predominate, and making it a war of races to the extermination of the weaker, would most inevitably prevail, with all that bitterness which characterizes the different races, now so marked and separated by colors, Place this subordinate caste in the light of freemen, whom God never created to be free, and we should do more for them than our Creator intended to have done for them, as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis!

We could, therefore, never exist together as equals in peace; hence, either war must eternally continue in such an event, or the subordinate caste, in the scale of progress, must succumb, and be the drudges.
