But what a commentary on slavery and slaveholders is afforded by the gross ignorance prevailing in the old States of South Carolina, Virginia, and North Carolina!
The influence of slavery on population is strikingly illustrated by a comparison between Kentucky and Ohio.
If we turn to the new States, we find that slavery and freedom have the same influence on population as in the old.
Statesmen may differ about policy, or the means to be employed in the promotion of the public good, but surely they ought to be agreed as to what prosperity means.
