In thif article we propose to lay the fi; urea and the fact touching lhi matter, plainly before our readers. We do not hope that the truth will open the eyes of the vic tims ol the Abolition fanaticism, but it may possibfy save some from following the mul titude in:o the dishonoring, the bioodv de- Motion. The truth is, that negro 'laerv' has been a corse to neither north nor south but has been a b!ewig to both, as the his tory atu'l the figures will show. We state the question thus plainly, becafhse we mean to challenge contradiction It is said that there is such a thing as a man telling a lie until he himself Ifelreres h to be a truth, And the Abolitionists rosy have 'repeated their slanders and falsehoods until they be lieve fhfem to be true ; but their leaders do not believe them so im-plteirly tfeal they dare 'risk a fair and public debate upon them. .

Behold the abomination of their pretentions in the fol lowing statistical records of the two tac tions of our country : 1.

Strike down this 'slave' la- bor and you BWe9p thifj9 o lhe comme out of existence two- commerce of the United States at a single blow. The United Slates Treas ury tables of 1859 show that our exports of that year were 5278,392,080 ; of which $178 000,000 were of southern origin, while 578,000,000 only were of northern origin. While the south produces more than two thirds ot the exports of the country, the north reaps mainly the commercial advan tages ariiing therefrom. The Treasury ta bles of 1850 show that the ton age of the oorth was 1,831,88 tons, while that cf the sooth was only 391,518 tons; and to fern ploy this shipping, the north furnished on ly ' 53,500,000 worth of freight ; the South tarnished 524,500,000 worth. While the South furnished six-sevenths of the freight, she had less than Oris-sixtk of the ton nags, thus throwing almost all the immense ptaf its of the carrying business into the pockets of the north. The South has not only kepi our hipi and merchants busy, but she has also given employment to oor mechanics, ariizans and laborers. In 1850, we sold the Soath goods of oor own manufacture to the valoa bf 5240,000,000. .. We cold them imported goods, which we paid for abroad by southern export, S106,- 000,000. - The interest and brokerage we made blit of the South that year, 63,2C0,CD0.

That is the way thesOuttrba'e wrong. ea us. she has given employment to our merchants, mechanics and laborers, to such an extent that wo may truly 'cay we owe ' -Oor.p,0,petitr to bar. The production .of t 'southern 'slave' labor ha. been the grea. motive battery that has driven nearly all the industrial operations of the north. The Treasury tables of the ;Udiied States show that not only our commerce, but the -whole of our industrial interests, have kept exact pace with the increase of the 'slave' pro ductions of the south. 'ln'f820, when there "wereonly one million five hundred ihous- and 'slaves' producing the staples of com merce, our tonnage was only 47,000 tons ; but in 1856, when there were ever three I niiU'ibili'of negroesiproducing the same sta ples, our tonnage was 469,000 tone. Every item of the material wealth of the north has increased in the same ratio with the iu- j'C'rease ot the 'slave' staples bf Ihe'ebuth. That ia the way 'slavery' has hurt us. By the bletfsing of Almighty God, may it con tinue to do fdr oor children as it bas for us -"giving era ploy ment to our capital and to our iudusiry giving cheap clothing and high wages to our laboring men, nd lb our commerce a'name respected on e very sea. That Is what 'slavery' has done lor the north. We know how profanely the Abolitionists will rave at there stern truths. But there stand. Ine facts and the figures let them deuy them it they dare. 2. We are told also that 'slavery' ha im poverished ihe83uth itself ; and to remedy this evil we are now trying to'cut the throat ol every white man, woman and child there, and to give the lands to'ihe negroes, and to such people, in the north, as are willing to ive on terms of perfect equally with the negrbes. That we may see how 'slavery' has impoverished the south, we will take the five old 'slave' States, 'from Maryland, i,-l Ini!.wl;r.n f2.yvp.ii. .nil nmn..u il.Bn an J including Georgia, and cbmpare them with six New England State, which boast ol being possessed of almost all possible advantages over the ret of mankind. In 1850, these New England States had a pop ulation of 2,728 000. In two hundred years ihey had, according to the ccusus ot 1850, accumulated wealth to the amount ot one ! billion, three million four hundred and six ty thousand dollars, while the five 'slave States, with the same population, had ac cumulated wealth to the amount of otfe bil lion, four hundred and twenty million, nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand dollars. Thus the five 'slave' Stafec accumulated an aggregate wealth over the accumulated wealth of the six New England Siates of four hundred and seventeen 'mill on five hundred and eighty-nine thousand dollars. If the whole wealth of New England were equally divided among its citizens, 'it would give each but three hundred and eix-y dol lar;, while the property of the five slave States, eqnalfy divided among their citizens, would give each the sum of five hundred and twenty dollars, showing a difference fu favor of the 'slave' States ot $153 per capita This, then, is the Way 'slavery' has impov erished the southern people. Massachu setts, which is the richest of the New En gland States, and perhaps rhe Trchest cf the n'on-blaveholding States, could, if tfer prop erly were equally divided among all her citizens, give each S548. But Sooth Caro lina, if her property were bo 'divided, could give every citizen Sl,000. Atte'r "Connecti cafaud Rhode Island, there is no noulave holding State that could give over two hun dred ai d eighty dollars to each ti its inhab itants, and majority of the-northern States could not give over two hundred dollars to each, While a majority ot the 'slave' ttates could give Jour ti'andred dollaTs to every white tnan. The population of all the free States, according to the census of 1850, was 13,214 380. The white population ot the I 'slave' States was ,6,312,879. AH ths nor thern Slates of '.irteen million citizens had accumulated property to the amount of three billion one hundred aod eighty-six million, six hundred and eighty three thousand dol lars, while the 'slave' States of only six mil lion citizens had accumulated two billion, seven hundred and seventy-five million, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars worth of property. While the population of lhe north was one hundred and nine per cent, greater than the sootb, it had accumulated riches but sixteen per cent- above the south. So a division of all the property of the non staveholding Slates, among all their inhabi tants equally, would give to each only 233, while the same division bf the riches ot all the 'slave' States would give to every white man 439. This is the way 'slavery' has impoveriohed the white people ol the south. This is the "losing game of 'slavery,' " of which. we h'ire fieard so much for a quar tet of b century. The census o f 1850 Shows that the wealth of the 'slave' States was abbot double per cafita td that of the Rbn slaveholdiag Slates. What folly, inch, what impudence, for ua here in the north tc talk of the ''losing game" of 'slavery,' with these figures staring us in the face ! 3. We bear a great deal about the barba rism and wretchedness which 'slavery' in fiicta upon family and home in the south. Whit say the figures on this subject ? Let os take again the six boasting New England States, and compare them with the five old stave' States having the Same population. It must be conceded that a home for every family is one of the most desirable bless ings that civilization can bestow. The more conlpIete,or the less railed this hdme, the greater the probabilities of happiness i and rinse. Now these fire New England States had, according to the 'census, 518,- i Si2 families, vbile 'hey 'had only '447,787 dwellings. "So that New -Englaud trad sev enty thousand seven 'hundred and lorty three families without 'a separate home ; while the five 'slave' Stales,' e'6'htiiinSng the sarne population, have 506.768 families, and '476,369 dwellings. Thus, in New En gland, tone family in' every Seven ia without a home, while, in 'the 'slave' 'Stales, :only one family in everj jfC'y-hw) is destitute of this inestimable blessing. This, tnen, is what 'slavery' has done fdr the 'whtteKfiomet of the sbuta. This the ob'cial wretchedness and barbarism we hear so 'much aboutT There are actually more white families bro- 1 ken up,Veparated, and scattered to the four winds ol heaven 'in these New . England States than there are 'slave' families thus separated in the southern States. Bat our present estimates are all concerning white peopte north and south. 4 We hear incessantly of the irreligion of 'slave'-holders, and our northern clergy are in the habit of praying for the southern peopte a though they. were heathenr, and without Christian habits. 1. is not an easy matter to estimate the . relative ruligious merits of a people. We can only take the visible evidences ol attachment, or of in difference to religious institutions as our guide. Let us again lake the six New En gland States and the five old 'slave' States, and see in which section We find the great est evidence ofa profound and consistent attachment to the worship of God. We are still guided by the census of 1850. A Tier two'cerituries o! religious aj'cny, New En gland has erected 4,607 churches, while the five old lavo' States, with the same population, have erected 8,081 churches.- The New England churches accommodate one million eight hnndred and ninety-three souls, while the churches in the five old 'sravf Slates accommodate two million eight hundred aod ninety.six thousand four hundred and seventy-two souls. So thef,s . 'r r" fj inn fi Ife 9 A ' X ' m htaVA raf&t ftr.llhlA w -- the number of churches, aad furnished the means of grace to over a million more 'souls than the boas;ing pharisees of New En. gland have. One-third of the population of New England is unprovided with any place of worship, while thee 'slave' Slates have provided churches for a million more people than can go to chdrch, if they wan ted to, in New England. This is lhe "irre ligion of 'slave'-holders." Agaia.'we all kubw that the religions semirnenl of the south is almost entirely free from the innu merable urns which have demoralized and broken up the churches in the north. All such auomiiialiins as Mormonism, Mille ism, Communism, Freeloveism, and Spir itualism, are ol northern birth, and have never made anv headway in the south. The southern churches have steadily resisted all these profane and corrupting innovations upon the pure domain of Christian faith. It is the rarest thing to see a 'church split to pieces thete by schism. Neither is there, 'comparatively, any ot the indecent sectari an violence in the t-outh which bas ditgrac ed the very name of reli icn in the north The ministers ot the Gospel in the south, as a class, are, in Christian deportment, and in manly 'character, lat ahead of the clergy, as a class, in the north. 'One reason ot this, undoubtedly, is, the settled, dignified, aud toieraut character ol the southern cbnrches. Like people, like priest," is an old maxim. Tbe laTigaage wh'iph the dif ferent ecis in the north are In lha habit of applying to each ether, is far more becom ing the 'fi!h markets than the temple of God. Such indecent aud profane clerical dema gogues as Beecher, Cheever.Ty ng, and Bel tows, even leaving out their Abolitionism, would not be tolerated in the sosih. With all these facts Known to us, what intolera ble impudence for us to talk about tbe "ir religious character ol 'slave' holders !" a. We are told that 'slavery' has brought demoralization and crime upon the sooth. Let os have the figures. Tbe census of 1850 shows that the ratio ol whites in the Penitentiary ot Virginia, fbr ten years, was one to twenty-three thousani, while the ra tio in the Massachusetts Stales Prison was one to seven thonsabJ five hundred and eighty seven. In the city of New York, in 1849, there were 1,235 convictions lor crime, which was more than in all the fif teen 'slave' States for that year. In tbe State of New Ybrk, in 1850, there were ten thousand two hundred and seventy convic-' tions for crime. In South Carolina, in ,a population more than one-fifth that cf New York, there were only forty six cases oW crime. The bills of crime in Charleston, S. C, for that year were six and a naif per "cent, les than in Boston. The same cen sus distfoseft the fact that free negroes south are a great deal less addiclod to crime than free negroes north. In Massachusetts, the ratio of Tree negroes in the States Prison, for ton years, wrs one to two hundred and fifty. In the Penitentiary Of Virginia it was 009 to three thousand and onb. So that to '.he nbn-slaveholding States two hundred and fifty free negroes commit ft much crime annually as three thousand free ne groes in the Mave' States. Seven thousand five hundred and eighty seven white peo pie in the firee States commit annually as much crime as twenty three thousand and three white people commit at the south. The eriminal degradation among the whites at the north is from three to five times greater than at the south. One reason of this'undoubtedly is, that extreme poverty is almost unknown at tbe sbuta. There is not the same debasing competition, the same elfish strife lor the necessaries of life there, and tha ailfisb passions ua touch lea ex- cited, while a sease of superiority of race, which is practically awarded to the while man of every degree shuts' off from a thons and temptations incident to !ife in the north. How else shall we 'account lor the vastly less amount of crime in the south 1 The census proves hefacl, and ought for ever to seat the lying lips of Abolitionism. 6. Another of the falsehoods of Abo. Hlionism is, that the whites are physically degenerating in the 'slave' States. Where are the'figures for that ? One of the sgns of physical degeneration is pauptritm. Xet us see. In the six New England States there were 33,431 paupers ; in the five old 'slave States, containing the same popula tion, there were 14.221, giving in the New England Stales an excess of paupers Ol one hundred and thirty-five per cent, over these 'slave' States. The ratio ot native born NewEuglanders in thepoorhonse is one to one hundredand forty-three ; while in these five 'slave' States it is one to two hundred and thirty-four. All nationalities in the New England poor-houses are in the ratio of one'to'eighty one, while in the 'slave' States they ale 'one to one hundred and seventy-one. Another sign of physica degeneration is the growing frequency of insanity. What says the census on this point? There were in Newigland, 3,829 case of insan i:y while intmf five 'slave' Siaies,embracing an equal population, there were only 2:t326 cases. Mere is a difference of more than siatyper cent, in favor of the 'slave' States. An equal per cent, will be found in favor nf the 6lave' States in relation to deaf and du'tr.b. Populalional decrease is another evi dence ol physical deterioration. New En gland, with 11,564 more fannlies than the bid 'slave' Slates, has 15,534 less births annually, and 10,152 more deaths than these .'slave' States. The 'slave' Stales have 27 per cent, more births, and thirty three per cent, less deaths. This seems truly wonderful, when we reflect that the climate of a grea. portion of these five Slave' States is "a great deal lass bealihy than that of New England. Where 'slavery' has existed for over two hanJreu years, we fiad the population, even in a comparative ly unhealthy clima'e, exhibiting signs cf physical perfecubiliiy from thirty to Icrtv per cent, above the healthiest and the most orderly of the free States. This, theu, i the way 'slavery' has deteriorated the physical man. If we wanted further proof of this same kind of physical dsfilny from Slavery,' we may find it.in the history of the present war a history in which even oor boundless impudence has, thus fir, fooDd nothing it dared to brag over. 7. Another falsehood of Abolitiooira is, that poor white people are despised and troddsn under foot by the slaveholder. This is about the wickedest lie of all : ior il is exactly the reverse in it south. There ' : . ..." . i :ne wnue men wears ea n ami l i , vaUhO i lernai hattr- t honor in bis white skin.which. however poor be may b?. if he is an honest, upright, and intelligent citizen, is always acknowledged, al all times, and in c!l places. This fact astonished the English traveller, Col. Frea- manile, when he lately visited the south. Speaking of this very class (fiocr whites) in the South, he says : "Every white man is as good as another (by theory), and every while female is, by couri;sy, a lady there is ctly one class." This we know to be strictly true. A white man may be as pcor as Lazarus there, and still, if he po-ess the attribntes cl character aud intelligence, his poverty never bats him (rom the parlors Of the rich, as it does in the north. There the social bau is on the black race, and not, as here upon, the poverty or mis fortune o( our own white race. Poverty is never treated as a crime in the soalh. Let the poor, but honest white man answer how the thing is here in lhe north. And lot his answer stand for the refutation of the Abo lition falsehood in relation to this matter. 8. Another charge is that tha South is without schools, aud has done nothing tor tbe cause ot education. What say s the cen-us ? Take again the six New England States, and compare them with the five origi nal 'slave' Stales. These New England Slates have of Colleges and Academies, 1 002. The five 'slave' Stales have of the same 1,265. The New England States, have endowed theii Colleges aud Acade mies to the extent ol $343,605. The five 'slave States have endowed tbeiis to the much greater sum of 81,080,435. Thus, the 'slave' Stales have 163 more Colleges and Academies than the six New England Slate's, and these five 'slave' States have beat the six States of New England in en dowments of these institutions ot learning. 2236,630. Under lhee figures, how look the editors, lecturers, and ministers cf the North, who have crammed the public mind with so many impudent falsehoods on this subject! Itisbnt a few weeks since a New England chaplain, writing from New Orleans, to a New York piper, declared that "the South is without school," when the truth is, that the Stale of Louisiana from which this clerical vagabond wrote, has the finest system of common schools of any Siate in the Union ; or had, before Butler broke them up in New Orleans, and Banks in the cor. ntry as far as he bas advanced. The State of Louisiana has twelve Universi ties, with an average of 989 scholars, while Massachusetts has only four, with an aver age of 769 scholars. . And yet a Massachu setts minister writes home that "they have co schools in Louisiana !"- 9. For years tha Abolitionists have urged, as a charge agaicai 'slavery that it was! the caasa of sgtett dt' jwir.'.owa.a) ' between the whites and the blacks. In 1850, according te the' census, shere wer, in the United States 405,794 raulattoes.; of these there was one mulatto cot ot twelve .among the 'slaves,' and a fraction more than' one out of tico artfon" free netrces. Tha! is, the illicit intercourse between whites and blacks, is ten times greater in the Njnh than in the South, with the 'slaves.' Thus we see that northern editors, clergy men and politicians, have been in the habit of charging npon 'slavery,' as a sin, tbe very thing that the north is ten times more guilty of than the south. Or, it used to be counted a crime ; but now, in these ripe days of '-Republicanism" and miscegena tion, this kind of intercourse between the whites and blacks has suddenly Become a virtue which, if not rare, is the crowning and glorious triumph of the Republican party. , ... , : ,. If the Mrnits ofihis article permitted, wo could name even other matters, in a com parison of the two sections, still to the dis advantage of the north. In tome future number-of Tub Old Guakd we shall resume this subject, with a view of pointing out the causes which have led to diiferences bt the two sections, as developed by tbe census We shall be able to show that many of these southern advantages are actually due lb the institution of negro 'slavery' that not only the census, but moral and polli. cat philosophy demoiutraie that the institution of upgrb rslav3ry' developes a superior mental aud physical condition cf the while race. This statement may cause Mr. Sum ner to open his eyes with horror : but Mr. Sumner dare not enter into a lair debate with the editor of Thk Old Gcahd on this ubject. He kuows that the charges which t L I 1 . . . L . " I I nave oeen orougni against tue soma win not stand the test of argument and fid. The very history of the foundation of our govern ment is a perpetual refutation of the cardi nal slanders ot tha Abolitionists. The ar chitects of American freedom were 'slavs' hoiders. Washington, "the Father of his Country," was a 'slave'-hclder. The auth or of the Declaration of Independence was a 'slave'-holder. The father of the Con stitution was a 'slave'-holder. Heligicus liberty on this Continent was established by 'slave'-holders. While the New England Puritans were downing the Baptists, whip ping the Quakers, boring holes through their tongues with red-hot irons, and driv. ing women naked through the s'reat ot Boston, because they would not adopt tbe Puritan sectarianism, the catholic 'slave' holders of Maryland vere laying the deep foundations of religious toleration and lib- ! eriy. If we are in any mood for looking facts in the face, contrast the condition of our country now with what it was when all ware 'slave'-holders. Contrast ccr present Congress for character, dignity, and ability, with the CcngreAS when almost every meru i bsr was a 'slave'-hc'.der, or the repreeenia- i . - . tir ft ' live ot a "slave -nouing contntnoncy. wen j w8 ,n.a ',ne9 ot ur.s . i "Yoa see yonreel with ihsm compared, t. r II And shudder at tbe nitTer." Or, if we dare tell ;he whole troth, com pare Abraham Lincoln, tae typeman ot Abolitionism, with JefTtjrscn Davis, lhe type-man of 'lavs'-holders. Measure them intellectually, morally, religiously, or as pen'.teihen, and tell us what yon dis?ov;r. Then, if yoo V-ant to see the thing further, compare Hannibal Hamlin with Alexander H.Stevens. If yon are nol alroady sick, make the beat comparison you can, and compare Gen'. Gra'it wiib Gen. Robert' Lee ; or Stonewall Jackson with the Poes, i contront Hookers, and Burnsides sent to f.im in battle. But this is cruel. It is dis tasteful to us. We are ashamed of these contrasts ; but we are still more ashamed of j Ipu slanders and falsehoods which the pub lie opinion of lhe nonh seems to have tm- j bided in relation to the south. Our sola object is lo Bave our own section from an ignorance, a delusion and falsehood which have perilled everla&iingly the peace of our country. We were born in New England and know how to be proud of much lha: belongs to New England ; but we also know how lo blush for its implacable fanat icism Said a Grecian philosopher, "Do not tell me my virtues ; tell me my faolts." This is the part of honor, and ot true friend ship. We have performed that part ia this article. Elder John LnUnd, a somwhat ec centric but famous Baptist minister in Ver mont, in lhe early history of out country, Fwas one day praying, at the inotaliaiion cf a vain and conceited young minister, when he 8id, "O, Lord, do thou bless thy young servant ! Make him humble. O, Lord, let him not be puffed up, but do , thou prick him, and let the wind out !" We have fol lowed somewhat the spirit of Elder Leland's prayer. We have pricked the pride ot in vidious northern pretention. We have let the wind out of Abolitionism, in order to show what a wretched mass of lies it is mcol lapsa. . From Richmond. A gentleman who very recently since the fighting began escaped from Richmond, says that great confidence is felt there fin which he did not perticipate,) that Richmond cannot be taken. They believe Lee and his army to be inviucible. And he adds that "Boiler's movenments were not so much dreaded as Grant's.
