But figuratively speaking they will bring to the block the political heads of all who shall insist on any such remedy for such complaint. Mr. Chairman, it is not to be aisgnisea, wai our Southern people are anxious about appear ances for the future.'; They see the free States in number and in Representation, already in the majority in both: Houses of Congress, and this majority soon to be largely increased; that while the South falls into this minority, ' they have witnessed," for tho last . few years, among many people of -the-free Slates; an increasing spirit of bitter hostility to the South and her institution. But let us like statesmen, be calm, briefly trace the history of this thing, and in quire why it is. Though by the census, the actual figures show that the natural increase of population in the slave States has been equal to the natural native increase' of the free States, yet the free State's have excelled us in the set tlement of new Territories and raising np new States. In the first place, we of the Southern States have been, and n are, the advocates of free trade, and many for direct " taxes.
