But setting aside all these consequences to the white, and admitting, for the sake of every possible latitude to the Abolitionist, that the white population richly deserve such results, what would be the condition of the coloured population after such a victory? Let us suppose that after a month's hard fighting, in which the soil of the south would be drenched with the blood of white and black, that the _white_ population became annihilated, and not one left south of the Potomac. Behold the black placed in immediate, full, and unrestrained possession of the whole South--What think you would be the result ere one year could elapse? Does it require much penetration, or much acumen, to foresee that it would be far better for them, had they, to a man, fallen in the contest? Ignorant--unaccustomed to liberty--unacquainted with the principles of government, or the means of producing order, or of providing for futurity,--his blood still under the stimulus of success--his actions now unrestrained--all the brutal passions of man at their highest pitch of excitement, indulging in all the luxuries of their late Master's house--what would be the inevitable consequences? First, black would fight with black, till the land would now become drenched with _black_ blood--parties and associations of blacks would be formed, according to the dispositions, desires, views, temperaments, and morals of each party. Ignorant, dissipated, idle, and ambitious for superiority, party would fight with party, till scarcely a party would be left. During the scenes of blood, of carnage, of idleness, of devastation, and of debauchery, the soil becomes uncultivated, the seed not sown, if in spring,--the earth's produce not gathered, if in harvest! The stores of the former years become consumed--each man, thinks that each man, but himself, ought to work; and each man thinks that he _himself_ ought now to enjoy _liberty_. The very attempt of any, to induce any to work, would be a sufficient provocation for mortal combat! Wants would now begin--still appetites must be gratified--"Caution, prudence, and judiciousness" they have either never learned, or have been taught by the great Champion of Abolitionism, _to hate_! Each day diminishes the stores, and increases the demands--and each day, fresh indications of _abolition-liberty_, manifest themselves in blood and outrage! At length, and that not many weeks after their victory, famine, with all her horrors, stares them in the face--children and infants, and mothers cry in vain for help--for nourishment.--Her ever constant companion, _Pestilence_, now attends, and thousands and thousands die of want and disease, calling down from heaven eternal curses on the heads of those who excited them to rebellion--the authors of all their sufferings--the ABOLITIONISTS!
