Few among us have reflected on the po- litical power given by slavery to the few. Three fifths 15 of all the slaves are counted in with the whites as the basis of representation, largely increasing the po- litical importance of the white person at the South over the white person at the North. Of the whites, large numbers are either disfranchised by a pro2Derty qualification, or are completely under the control of their wealthier neighbors. Political honors and influ- ence are confined to a few.... In the whole fifteen slave- holding States there are less than one hundred thousand persons owning more than ten slaves each. How many of these are desirous of deserting their plantations and emigrating to Kansas ? But these are the persons who control the policy of fifteen States, and by their in- fluence at home and at the North have controlled the policy and monopolized the honors of the General Gov- ernment. Is it to be wondered that they should make such desperate efforts to extend so disproportionate an importance ?
