Allies of the southern planter class, they would "reduce the people of the free States...to the amount that barely sustains life," "to the level of the pauper laborers of Europe." American manufactures will suffer "stagnation, that must follow a transfer of our work to the workshops of Europe." This "will curtail the profits of our capitalists, and thereby put a period to the extension of railroads, and other operations that employ many laborers, whence the motive to stimulate emigration will be greatly weakened."
