Description
This editorial, originally from the Providence Post but reprinted in the Columbian Register, discussed views on abolition in England. The correspondent asserted that the British care more for a stable cotton supply than the freedom of the slaves and further claim that abolition would also bring "certain ruin to New England, as well as great injury to Old England."
