AUGUSTA, GA:
Tliui-iuiay Evening, June 10, 1858.
Herlvkl of the African Slave Trade-
No. 7.
Slavery Essential to the Permanence of Re
publicanism.
It has been often asserted that the
government of no country can long re
main republican without the aid of
slavery. The proof has not often been
adduced.
We remark, that the proposition must
lie restiicted to the slavery of an infe
rior, to a superior race. And the in
ferior race must be of such people as
are by nature submissive, patient of re
straint, preferring enslavement to ex
tinction. It hardly needs a demonstra
tion, that any race possessing these qnal- 1
ities will be incapable of self-govern
ment, and, therefore, incapable by
themselves, of generating or perpetua
ting Republicanism.
Republicanism implies self-govern- 1
ment and negatives all other kinds of
government. That race only are capa
ble of governing themselves, who are en- 1
dowed by nature with an instinctive idea. 1
that they have a right to the control
of their own actions. Such a race are
the Caucassians, and in no branch of
this race, has this idea reached a more
perfect development than in the Anglo-
Saxon. Yet every individual of the :
race, from the early republicans ol
Greece, through the Romans, through
France, through Spain, through Eng '
land and Ireland, down to the freemen '
of American Republics at this day— i
every one has been, more or less, pene
trated with the belief that he was born 1
with a complete right to share equally |
with his fellows in the establishment
and ordering of the government to !
which he gives his allegiance. i
The careful student of history cannot '
fail to observe that, at all times, this i
idea has impelled its possessors towards '
the form of free government. It ever
has either resulted, in the establishing I
of such governments, or it has given I <
rise to those struggles which have, from i
time to time immemorial, convulsed i
the notions of that race. But the stu- i
dent will observe, that while this no- j i
tion has, in many instances, generated j
republican governments, more or less ■
approximating the ideal form, yet it j
has, in no instance, succeeded in per
petuating those governments for any
very great length of time. Ho will
then be driven to the conclusion that
the condition of perpetuation has been
wanting. He will see that, though a
race may be blessed with the conditions
necessary to the establishment of Re
publicanism, yet, it by no means fol
lows, that the same set of conditions
will enable them to perpetuate that
state of freedom.
Let us make an application to our
own government. The establishment
of our Republicanism is no longer an
experiment, but the problem of its
preservation is still to be solved. And
it behooves us to ascertain what there
was wanting to the Constitution of the
old Republics, which led to failure in
their cases, in order that we may, if
possible, supply in our own experiment
that element, for the want of which
oureud will be like theirs.
Iu all the Republics of the past, there
has been a certain coincidence of facts.
Their duration has been inversely as
the development of their resources at
the time of their formation. If lands
and the means of living were plenty,
with but a small population, their time
of duration was long. Individuals were :
content to feed and clothe themselves,
nor sought to interfere with each other.
Plenty made them peaceable. Each
approved that form of government in
which he had an equal share—his aspi
ration for self-government was grati
tied. But, as population increased,
thus nanowing the scope of individu- i
al action, their Republicanism began i
to lose its simplicity. Complication
followed complication, until, at last,
in the struggle for the possession ofj ]
those resources which were insufficient 1i
to satisfy the cravings of the whole j i
body, Republicanism gave way. Those j 1
laws and that power, which had been I
sufficient to control all, while all were!
willing to do right, were unable to
check the tyranny of one party over
another. Might took the place of right,
and became the arbiter of all disputes.
Force, in the form of mob or army,
organized a new government. One
man, or a few' men, thought for this
force furnishing the intellect to guide
its action. This was oligarchy, or mon
archy.
Such, with variety of circumstances, |
has been the history of every Republic!
in the past. Look at French Republics,
almost within our own time. Vast pop
ulation, with scantiness of resource,
has doomed them ere they were emerged
from infancy. Republicanism has never'
yet survived a large population with |
small resource.
Republicanism is two hundred years
old in this country. The idea of con
trolling his own actions has been the
prominent feature of American mind
from the earliest colonial times. But
it needs no close scrutiny to perceive
that, in the more densely populated
portions of this Union, the idea is losing
j its force, and that Republicanism is fast
| passing to anarchy, whence it is but a
step to monarchy. This is betokened
in a waning love of order, in a growing
disregard of law, in an increasing con
tempt for constitutional obligations, in
the spread of fanaticisms, in the strife
for power, iu the corrupt practices of
officers, and lastly, and most fearful, in
the growing disposition in the North
ern masses to seize upon the resources
of the country and to drive out that
species of labor which they imagine to
be their natural enemy. And now, let
it be noticed, that while this state of
things has been coming on, the resour
ces of the North have been fast reach
ing development. Already the North
ern people feel, or think they feel, that
they have not enough of natural re
source, and hence they are seeking to
contract slavery and crush it out, and
occupy its ground.
Now, without no helping hand, is it
not plain that they must lose their Re
publicanism ? That the weaker must
succumb to the stronger? That there
must and will be slavery at the
North? That if the stronger party can
not have negroes they will enslave those
of their own race ?
But, is it not equally plain that this
will not happen a6 long as there shall
be undeveloped resources ? They will
first seize upon the South. It is what
they are now doing. The South must
yield to, unless she find means to avert
the coming storm. Slavery is that
means. Let all white men make slaves
of negroes, that they may not, in the
overthrow of their Republicanism,
make slaves of each other 1
Then re-open the African Slave Trade.
In proportion as the importation of ne
groes increases, the immigration of
whites will decrease. When the first
shall cease because there are enough in
the country, the last will cease because
there will be no incentive to their com
ing. But the slave, all he has and is,
will he the property of his master.—
The master will be rich and satisfied
because the resources which the negro
develops will become the wealth of the
master, who will thus have no induce
ment to engage in a strife for scanty re
source. The negro will have taken and
preserved, for his master, a large share
j of natural wealth.
It is to be observed that by nature
j the white man docs not seek war or
strife. He engages therm only when
goaded on by real or fancied want. -
Then be feels that iu civil commotion
he has nothing to lose and may gain
something. Like the desperate follow
ers of Cataline, revolution has no ter
rors for him because it can take nothing
from him. It is the destitution of Par
isian mobs that begets I’arisian revolu
tions.
But give white meu property, or op
portunity to acquire it, and you make
them the lovers of order, the haters of
strifo, the supporters of a government
which is of their own making. Give to
all the citizens of this nation the re
; sources of the land; then give them
negroes who will, at once, convert those
1 resources into wealth, aud prevent the
1 intrusion of other whites from foreign
lands, aud you give them property, car
rying with it all its influences. Each
will insist upon a participation in the
common councils of the nation ; and
lie will participate, because the protec
tion which each asks for bis own pro
perty, he will grant to his neighbor.—
Thus will the Republicanism, originated
by the white man, be preserved by the
negro. It will be strong iu itself, be
cause united in its parts, and therefore
able to repel all external attacks.
But we cannot keep out white men
unless we bring in negroes. We cannot
enjoy the protection of slavery unless
1 we have euough of slaves to develope
the country as fast as called for. The
element of slavery cannot do its work
of salvation unless it enter, in a suffi
ciently large proportion, into the Con
stitution of society.
Republicanism cannot be preserved
without slavery. Slavery cannot be
preserved without importation of more
negroes. How infinitely, then, does
the question, which we are considering,
transcend in all other questions of hu
! man concern 1
j Southern people! Each day takes
from your own power to do this thing.
Each day adds to the strength of your
foes. Oh 1 that a Patrick Henry could
urge upon you the necessity for action
before “your enemies shall have bound
you hand and foot.” *
Removal,
We learn from the Cartersville Ez-
I press, of the 9th inst that a vote for re
| moval of the Court House was taken in
that county on Wednesday last— and
that the result was for removal 5, and
against removal 295. The editor sup
poses this about one seventh of the vote
of the county, and does not appear to
relish the result.
SiT The Cleveland Plaindealer says
that Mrs. Cunningham Burdell has

Ohio, about four miles from Carrollton,

Tile Weather and Crop*.
For the last two weeks we have been
abundantly blest with rain and warm
genial sunshine—just what our farmers
want at this season of the year. Corn
is in a fine growing condition, and must
yield abundantly if the seasons continue
favorable. Cotton, though small, and
in some places a bad stand, is fully fif
teen days earlier than this time last j
year. Wheat is ripening fast, and we |
see harvesting has commenced on early I
wheat. Our fears of rust and the fly
vanishes daily, and if we are not greatly
mistaken, there will be as much wheat
made in this county as there was last
year ; not that the wheat is so generally
promising, but in consequence of the
quantity sown. Oats are doing as well
as could be wished, and withanother rain
or so, must be very abundant.— Caetoille
Standard, lOlh imt.
Who Nominated Washington.
A writer in the National Intelligencer
says that Washington Irving, in the life
of Washington, page 453, vol. 1, claims
for Johnson, a delegate from Maryland
in the Continental Congress, the honor
of having nominated Washington for
the position of Commander-in Chief.—
The election was by ballot and was un
animous:
Bancroft, in liis last volume, page 393,
says : “Thomas, of Maryland, nomi
nated George Washington, and, as he
had been brought forward at the par
ticular request of the people of New
England, he was elected by ballot un
animously."
We happen to be cognizant of a cor
respondence between George Bancroft,
Esq., and Mr. D K. Tefft upon this sub-
J ec s: which originated in the application
of Mr. Bancroft to Mr. Tefft for infor
mation concerning the Johnson family,
i which was in possession of our fellow
townsman, Mr. Jno. R. Johnson, the
I nephew of'i homas Johnson, of Mary
| land, who Mr. Bancroft is now satisfied
