Print on Demand. This book offers an unvarnished examination of the intricate relationship between slavery and prosperity in the state of Virginia during the early 19th century. It explores the detrimental effects of slavery on the state's economy, arguing that the institution hindered the development of industries, discouraged immigration, and led to the exhaustion of the soil, all of which contributed to a decline in economic growth. Moreover, the book sheds light on the social and political consequences of slavery, highlighting the suppression of public spirit, the erosion of individual liberty, and the perpetuation of racial inequality. Through a thorough analysis of historical data and contemporary accounts, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that shaped Virginia's struggle with slavery and its profound impact on the state's pursuit of prosperity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Political Theory and History
The debate in the Legislature ofvirginia at its last sessmn 1s, beyond all question, the event which most materially affects the prospects of negro slavery in the United States. Every thing tells of a spirit that is busy inspecting the very foundations of society in Virginia - a Spirit new, suddenly created, and vaster in its grasp than any hitherto called forth in her history. There is a serious disposition: to look the evil of slavery (nothing less!) in the face, and to cast about for some method of diminishing or extirpating it. Causes not now needful to be named, have given birth to this disposition, so little to have been anticipated two years ago. The possibility of ridding Virginia of the evil of slavery in our generation, in that of our children, or ofour grand children, is suddenly made the legitimate subject of temperate debate. We shall presume to speak of it therefore in a temper of becoming gravity, and we hope without danger of giving of fence to any one.

Reseña del editor
The American Quarterly for December, appears an article on this great subject, of peculiar - ability the - most calm and philosophical spirit of enquiry - and of reasoning, to our poor judgment, unanswerable.
The article is based on the Speech of Mr. Marshall of Fauquier, and its design, says the Boston Courier, is to show by a clear induction of facts, that slavery "is the essential hindrance to the prosperity of the slave-holding Stales, and the necessity of prompt action to check the palpable mischief they are suffering from it." The subject, says the same paper, is treated with particular reference to the situation of Virginia; but it is obvious that the doctrine he establishes is equally applicable to all the States, where slavery exists. The author declines, wisely, to consider the subject with reference to the iniquity of slavery in itself, asserting what is undoubtedly true, that the holding of slaves as the south is conditioned, argues not the slightest degree of moral turpitude, and that the average condition of the slave in Virginia, is by no means a bad one. [He might have added, that it was positively, nay incomparably better than that of the labouring population in Ireland, and various parts of Europe.] He demonstrates the effects of slavery to be: inanimation of public spirit - destruction of the spirit of industry in the free population - the degradation of labour itself - ruin of agriculture, by a wasteful mode of cultivation - interposing obstacles to the improvement of the soil - and the encouragement of habits and opinions, destructive of economy and enterprise.
"The writer then states the conditions on which a slave-holding State may be a prosperous one, and shows that Viroinia has scarcely a single requisite to make her so. None of the States possesses them but imperfectly, except Louisiana. Those conditions arc an inexhaustible soil - a small territory - a climate, the products of which can be reared in but a few spots on the globe, and for which there is a permanent demand and which is insupportable by white labourers." - Boston Courier.
There are a thousand reflections in this article fraught with wisdom and forecast. The essay of Professor Dew, we learn, has been studiously circulated, and we hope measures will be taken to secure an equal circulation for this, in our opinion, far more worthy of it. At a more convenient season, we shall transfer liberally to our columns, from both articles.
The author is Jesse Burton Harrison, Esq., late of Virginia, now of New Orleans; a gentleman destined to reflect honour upon his native soil, and to elevate the American reputation.
