alacrity and skill by clergymen, politicians,
tract-distributats, and all sorts of social
jugglers, here in the North until ail grader
in the community hare adopted the senseless
jargsb tut a conclusion, uht only foregone,but
foreordained and divine.. "
In this article we propose to Tay the Sg•
ures and the facts touching this matter,
plainly before our readers. We do not
kcpe that the truth will open the eyes of the
victims of Abol:tion fanaticism, but it
may possiblyseve •some from following
the multitude ipf 6 the - dishonoring, the
bloody delusion. The frutb is, that negra
'slavery' has been a curie to neither North
nor South, but has seen a &easing to both,
as the history and the tiguers will show.—
we state Vie question thus plainly, because
we mean to challenge contradiction. It is
said that there is such , a thing as a man
telling a lie until he himself belibves it to
it , Lk. - A hnlitioniats...may_
have repeated their falsehoods nnl slanders
vital they believe them to be true ;.but their
leaders do not believe them ab implicitly
that they date risk a fair and public debate
upon them. They are brave at assertions,
dogmatism, noise, and wordy defiance, but
they flee within the coveret of prejudice and
ignorance as the approach of any men who
'her facts are the inventions of impositors.
Their logic the yell of the hog dervish
es. Foolish anti malicious. Behold the
abomination of their pretentious in the fol
lowing statistical records of the two sections
of our country:
1. flow has tie North suffered by negro
'lrlaiery' in the South ? It has grown rich
off the proceeds of 'elate' labor. The mer
chants, the manufactorers, the mechanics,
and all ease .`3 of laboring men, here in the.
North, have I.oen immensely bonellted by
the fruits of ,argra 'slavery' in the South.—
, More titan two thirds of the mercantile,
manufseturing, and industrial operations
of the North are base upon,the labor
of the South. Strike down this 'slave' la
bor, and 7(>11 sweep out of existence Iwo,
thirds of the commerce of the.Cnited States
at a single blow. The United States Trea
sury tables of 1859 show that our exports of
that year W0re . 5279,892,0130 ; of which $l7B l
000,000 were of Southern allgin, while $7B
- only were of Northern origin.—
While the South produces more than two-,
thirds of the exports of the country, the
North reaps'mainly the commercial advanta
ges arising therefrom. The Treasury Ta
bles of Ithitl_shose.that_ the twinge of the.
North was 1,881,880 tons, while that of the
South wattastly 091.618 tons: and to employ
tills shipping. the North furnished only $B
- worth of freight ; the South tot nista
ed 524,500,000 worth. While the South
furnished six-sevenths of the freight, she
had lees than one-sixth of the outage, thus ,
throwing ahnost all the immense profits of
the emying business Into the pockets of
the Notch, The South Its, nut only kept
out ships and merchants busy, but she has
also given employment to our meohanics,
artisans and laborers. In 31360, we sold the
South goods of our own manufacture to the
value of $240,000,009..
We sold them important gotaje which we
paid -for &brood by MAL horn exports, $106,-
000,00 Q.
The interest and brokerage we mode out
of the South that year, $68,200,000.
Money spent in the North by tionthern'vis
, itors, tradesmen, travelers Ste., during that
year, $58,750,374.
Making our total business with the South
that year, $102,600,874.
That is the way we have suffered by the
South. That is the way the South has
wronged us. She has given employment,
to our merchants, mechanics and laborers,
to such an extent that we may truly say we
owe our prosphrity to her. The production
of southern 'slave' labor has been the great
Motive battery that has driven nearly all
the induitrial operations of the North. The
Treasury tables Of the United States show
that not only otir commerce, but the whole
of our industrial interests, have kept exact
pace with the increase of the of the 'slave'
productions of the South. In 1820, when
there were only , one -million five hun
dred thousand "slaves" producing the
- staples of commerce. our tonago -eras only
47,000 tons; but in 18:03, when there were
over three millions of negroes produeing the
same staples, our tentage was 460,0(10 tons.
Every item of the material wealth of the,
North hits increase in the same ratio with the
increase of the 'glare' staples of. the South.
Thalia the way 'alitvery' has hurt us. By
the blessings of Almighty God, may it' con
tinue to do,for our children as it has for us
—giving employment to our capital and to
our industry—giving cheap cloathing and
high wages to nor 'tailoring men, and to our
cointiterce a name respected on every sea.
That is whit 'slavery' has done for the
North. We know how profanely the Abol
itionists will rave at these stern truths.—
But there stand the facts and the figures—
let them deny them if titey dare.
Mare told also that 'slavery' has impov
erished the South itself; and to remedy - this
"evil We are now trying to cut the thrbat, of
every,yrhitaman, woman and 'child there,
and_ro ere the lands to the negroes - and to
such people, In the North,. as are willing to
live on terms of perfect equality with the
negroee. That me may' see how 'slavery'
has impoverished ,the South, we will take
the eye Old 'slave' States, from jdaryland,
and including Georgia, and compare ,them . '
with six New England States, 'which boast
of belnt possessed of almost all possible'
advantages over the tat of mankind.* Itr
1850, these New EniTesl &stashed a pop
ulation of 2,748, , 1. In two huidred years
they hid itecm.iteg to the census of 1850,
accumulated wealth to the amount of one
billion, to ey mil:fon/our Asmara and sixty
tboosand doUors, while the Ave 'slave' States
with the same population, had accumulated
wealth to the hmount of one billion lour lass
dred and twenty wUlaw, nine lunsdredd
esihtyesine thousand daUari. Thus the - ffve
'slave' Stateseemunulated mt aonarate wealth
over the aodumulited wealth or the al:
New England States of four hundred amid
mentos* million Jilts hundred and sipkry eine
thousand dollars. If the white wealth of
New England were equally dflided among
its °Therm, it would give Smith but three
hsoidred and *lady fzilers, whISI the property
of the live 'slave litotes. (kink* divided
'among their citizens, would give_mullt the

bob:ling Statethat dould give over two hun
dred and eighty dollars to each of its inhab
asul--•,:atekeeitor---stf---the—Nesticeen-
States could not give ovbr two hundred
dyed dollars to each, while amajority of the
dleve'..,States could give over four hundred
ollars to every white man. The ,popula
tion of all the free States according to the',
cocoanut' 1860, wne 18,214,880. The white
population of all the 'slave' States way 8,812-
879. All the Northern Statue of thirteen
million citizens had accumulated property
to the amount of three billion one hundred and
eighty Mx million six hundred and risky three
thousand dollars, while the *lave' States of
only six million eitikens had accumulated
two billion seren hundred and seventy five mil
lion one hundred bed twenty thousand dollars
worth of property. While the population of
the Nosth.watt one hundreer and ?limper rent
great& than the:South, i• had sqcutnttlated,
riches. but sixteen per cent above the South.
So a division of all the property of the non-,
slaveholding States, among all their Inhab.
itante equally, ;would give to each only '
MIL ithileilt_samasilyition_QMlL. risk= i
of all the 'slave' States would give to every'
white man $429. This is the way 'slavery'
has impoverished the white people of the
South. This is the "loaing.gume of 'slave•
ry,"' of which vrehivenlaard so.,utuch for a
quarter of a century. The census 'of 1860
shows that the wealth of the Wave' States
warahout double per capita to that of the
--eleveholding States. What folly, then,
whet intpu once or us ere n .e
to talk of the 'losing gam " of slim.
ry; with these Signers_ staring us in the
face
8. We hear a great deal abctut the barbar
ism sad wretchedness which slavery inflicts
upon family and home in the South,', What
say the figures on this subject ? Let us take
again the six pointing New England Staten,
and compare them with the five old 'slave'
States having the same population. It
must lie conceded that a home for every
family is one of the - most 'desirable bless
ings that civilization can bestow. The more
complete or the less mixed this home, the
greater the probabilities of happiness and
virtue. Now those Ave New England States
had, according to the census, 618.532 fami
lies, while they bad only 447,787 dwellings
So that New England had seventy thousand
seven hundred and foil) , three families
without a separate lime; - while the five
'slave States, containing the same popula
tion, have 5013,768 families,- and 470,869
dwellings. Thus in New England one fam
ily in every seven is without a home, while in
the 'slave' Stat. a,- n 1 ; one lam ly in every fif
ty two is destitute of th iainestimable bless- ,
sing. This,' then, is wliht 'blavery', has
I done for the l white homes of the South. This
tittitekial wretchedness and barbarism we
hear so much about. There—are actually
more white families bracts up,- separated
and scattered to thi four winds of heave-t
in these New England States titan there
aVe 44 r 13' families thus separated in the
southern . stoo, But our present estimates
are all concerning white people North and
South
4. We bear incessantly of the irreligion
of 'Aare' holdere. and our northern clergy
are in the habit of praying for the southern
people as though they were heathens, and
without christian habits. It is, not an easy
matter to estimate the relative religious
merits of a people, We can only take the
visible evidences of attachment. or of indif
ference to religious institutions as our guide.
Let us again take the six New England
States, and the five old 'slave' States, and
see in which section we find the greatest ev
idence of a profound and consistent attach
ment tone worship of God. We are still
guided by the Bennis of 1850. After two
centuries of religious agony, New England
has erected 42,607 churches, while the five
old 'stove States, with the same population
hove erected, 94.081 churches. The New
England churches accommodate one million
eight hundred and ninety-three souls, while
the churches in the five old 'slave' States no
comotintes two million eight hundred and
ninety-six thousand f,ur hundred and,sev
enty two souls. So these irreligious 'slavo'
States have erected double the number of
churches, and furnished the moans of grace
to over a million - more souls than the boast
ing pharisees of New England have. One
third of the population of New England is
unprovided with- sany place of worship.
while these 'slave' States have provided
'churches for a million more people than can
go to church, if they wanted to, In New
England.
This is the irreligion of 'slave' holders..
Again we all know that the religious senti
ment of the South is almost entirely free
from the innumeral jams which have domo-
ratized
tiortit.
, .
All such abominations as :Mormonism, )1 ii
leristo, Communionism, Ereeloveism, and
Spiritualism, are of northern birth, and
have never made any headway in the South.
The southern churches bare steadily reels-,
ted all these profane and corrupting. innova
tions upon the pure domain of Christian
faith. It is the rarest thing t 6 see a church
split to pieces thereby schism. Neither is
there, comparatiVely, any of the indecent
sectarian violence in the south whit% has
disgraced the very name of religion in the
North. The ministers of the Gospel in the
South as a class, are, in Christian deport
ment, and in manly character, far ahead of
the clergy. as a class in the North. One
reason of this undoubtedly is the settled,
dignified, and tolerent .character of the
southern churches. "Like people, like
priest," is an old maxim. The language
which the different sects in the North are
in the habit of applying to each other is far
more becoming the fish markets than the
temple of God. Such indecent and profane
clerical demagogues as Beecher, Cheerer,
Tyng, and Bellows, even, leaving ( out their
Abolitionism, would not be tolerated in the
South. With all Oise facts known to ns
what intolerable impudence for us to talk
about the "irreligious elisrseter of slave.
holders I"
We &retold that 'slavery' has brought.de
ntoraUsation and crime upon the South.—
Let us hare theligares. The census of 18-
59 shows that the refloat whites in the Pod
tuntiary of Virginia, for ten years wee one
to hoots+ thousand, while the ratio in liassit
ohusetts State Prison was one to wan
thousand Ire hundred and eighty seven.—
In the olty of New York„ in 1849,
.there were
12,85 convictions for crime , whlob ala,more
than in all the fifteen %lave' States for thit
year. In the State of jaw York is 184 T!

The same minims discloses the fact that free

thousand free negroef in the .slave' States.
Seven thousand five . hundred anti eighty
seven white people in the free States com
mit annuallyna much crime as twenty three
thousand and three white people commit at
the South. -The criminal degradation a
mong the whites at the North is from three
to five times greater thin at the South —=
One reason of this undoubtedly is, that
extreme poverty is &knoll, unknown et the
South. There is not the same debising
competition, the seine selfish strife for the
necessaries of life there, and the selfish pas
sions are mush leas exeited, while a sense
of superiority of race, which is pria - nially
awarded to the white of every degree:shuts
off from a thousand temptations incident to
life in the North', How else shall we ac
count for the vastly leas amount of crime in
AkeSoutb! The census. prows the tact mid_
ought for ever to seal the lying lip, of Ab-,
oli t lonian!.
6. Another of the falaboods of Abolition
ism is, that the whites are physically , de
generating in the "slave" States. Where
are the figures for that 1 One of the signs
An
of phy sical degeneration is pauperiewe.—
Let uc see. in the six New England States
--4 there were 88.431 kaupers ) iu,t4e firs old
- ' t v" Rats
'alave",States, cotitaTning the same popu
lation, there -were 14,221, giving In the
New England States en excess of paupers
of one hundred and thirlytive per cent. over
these 'slave' States. The ratio of native
born New Englanders in the pitor houre is
one to one hundred and forty-three; while
in these five .slave' Slates it i■ one to one
hundred and thirty-four. All nationali
ties in' the New England poorhouses are in
the ratio Of one to eighty-one, while in.the
'slave' States they are one to one hundred
and seventy one. .
Another sign of physical degeneration is
the growing frequency of Insanity. What
says the census on this point! There were
in New England. 8.829 cases of insanity,
while in the five 'slave' States embracing
an equal population, there were only 2,828
cases. 'Here in a - di ff erence of more than
sixty per. cent. in favor of the 'slave' &Maw
An equal per odnt. will befound in favor of
the , slave' States, in relation to deal and
arab.
Pondlational decrease - is another evidence
of physical . deterioration. ..New England,
with 11 ; 564 more families than the old
`blare' States, •bee 16,634 less births ann4l
- and 10,152 more deaths that these 'slave'

e reflect that the climate of a Arent por-
lion of these five 'slave' States is a great
(leafless healthy than that of New England.
Where •slaver.T . has existed for over two
hundred years; we find the population, even
in a eompitratirely unhealthy climate, ex
hibiting signs of physical perfectability
from thirty to forty per cent
of the

ted further proof aims same kinkof phys ;
icul debility from 'slavery,' we may find it
in the history. of the present war—a history
in which even our boundless impudence has
thus fardfound nothing it dared to brag
Over.
7. Another falsehood of Abolitionism is,
that poor white people are despised end
trodden under foot by the slavehold re.—
This id about the wickedest lie of all; for
it is exactly the reverse in the South.—There
the white Mtn wears an' eternal badge of
honor in his white akin, which, however
poor he mny be, if he is an honest, upright
and intelligent citizen is always a •k new e Let
alltimes and in all places. Th is fact aolonished
the English traveller, Col. Freementle,when
'he lately visited the South. Speaking of this
very eines (poor whites) in the South, be
says : •Every white man is as good satinet' -
er (by theory) and every white female le, by
courtesy, a lady—there is only ono class.
•
This we know to be strictly true. A white
man may he as poor as Warns there, and
still, if he possemps the attributes of charac
ter and intelligenN, his poverty never bars
him from the parlors of the rich, as it door
in the North. • There the social ban is on the
black race, and not, as here, upon the • poi.-
erty of our own white race. Poverty is
never treated as a crime in the South. Let
the poor, but honest white man answer how
the thing is here in the North. And let his
gnawer stand for refutation of the Abell- -
falsehood in relation to this matter.
8: • Anotbee.nherne is that the South is
without schools, and has done nothing for
the manse of education. What says the cen
sus? Take again the 'six Slew England
States, and compare, them with the five ori
ginal 'slave' States. These New England
States, have in colleges end academies, L
-002. The five 'slave' States hereof the same
1,2115. The New England States have en,
dorsal their colleges and academies to 4le
extent of $848.806. The five tialsorP. States
have endowed theirs to the mafibt Coate*
aunt of $1 080 433 —"Thus the tiro' 'slave'
States'hes 163 mere colleges and ieldemies
than the six New, England States, and these
fire `slave' States have beat the Ida' States
of New England in endowments of these in
stitutions of learning, 'pH 680. Under
these figures, bow look titre editor'', lecturers,
and ministers of the North, who have cram
med the public mind with so many impudent
falsehoods on this subject ? It is but a few
weeks since a New England chaplain, writ
ing tom New Orleans, to a New York paper,
declared that 'the South is without schools.'

LINOOLNS LAST LETTER.
It le some time since the public min 4 has
been refreshed by a letter from the "Old
Joker." It is some time !taco we hate been
enlightened by hie s mtartling truisms—pene
trating truisms—which not even a leboohboy
in the land has had the temerity to contro
vert. Not a year ago he startled mankind
by the bold enunciation of a truth hitherto
concealed from human pen, to wit :—"That
it is easter to pay a small sum than a Imre
one—and that it ie easier to pay nothist, Mats it
is to pay something!" This world rteeiveid
thin bright scintillation-with profound mon
inhalant, and to Gas diY neither savant nn
sophomore has ventured-to dispute it. Mr.
Lincoln's last letter, although it is not die
tinguisleed by the some keen points of ori
ginol genius, is, nevertheless, quite credit
able toils author. The Tr.bante, and eape ;
dimity the Mass, like Malone and Johnson
on Shakespeare, have added their . bright
commentaries to elucidate the sharp an tea
of this brilliant production. In yea
