It is madness to suppose that she will long endure the decrepitude of Slavery. And while her slaves and those of the South ern States within the temperate zone are an encumbrance to them, if set free, and seated within the tropics, they would be worth much to the nation and to the world. The value of a dependency there, made up of our emancipated blacks, may be estimated by the readiness of some of our statesmen to pay $300;000, 000 for the island of Cuba, which the law of gravitation, that att...racts feeble countries to their strong neighbors, will bring to us before long without payment, and which, if we should now purchase it, could only be the right of unrestrict ed trade, and not the land and slaves, which ivould still belong to their present owners.
If the trade of Cuba, with its one million laborers, is worth this vast sum, how shall we estimate that of a dependency peopled by our 4, 000, 000 of freed blacks, whose superior intelligence would dominate all the races of the tropics, and bring them under our influence a re gion richer than any other tropical country in the world, because lying in the track of the southeast and northeast trade winds, which, passing over an immense expanse of ocean, gather moisture that is precipitated 26 upon the lofty mountains of the interior, and create the largest rivers on the globe, and make the land bloom with eternal verdnre.
