SUMNEIIet OF MASSACHUSETTS, Delivered in. the U. S. Senate, in Committee 'cif • the Whole on the State of the Union, June • (TIIIRD EXTCACT.) * But 'Slavery plays the part of a Harpy, and defiles' theyelloicest-Aningtiet. :- See what h does with this territory, thus spa- cious and fair. _ . An important indication pf proaperity is to be found in the growth of popukt tion. In this • respect the two regions started equal. In 1790, at the first cen sus under the Constitution, the popula tion of the present Slave States was 1,- 961,372, of the present Free States 1,- 968,455, showing a difference of only 7,- 083 in favor of. the Free States. This difference, at first merely nominal, has been constantly increasing since, showing itself niore strongly in each decennial cen- Eris, until, in 1850, the population of the Slave States, swollen by the annexation of three foreign Territories, Louisiana, 'Flor ida, and Texas, was only 9,612,769, while that of the Free States, without any such annexations; -reached 13,434,922, show ing a difference of 3,822,153, in favor of Freedom. Buf this difference becomes. still ;more remarkable, if we confine crir inquiries to the white populatien, which, at this period, was only 6,184,477 in the Slave States; while it was 13,238,670 in the Free States, showing a difference of more than 7,054,193 in favor of Freedom, and showing that the white population of the Free States had not only doubled, but commenced to triple that of -the, Slave States, although occupying a smaller ter ritory. The comparative sparseness of the two populations furnishes another it lustration. In the Slave States the av erage number.of inhabitants to a square mi wasi 1 28, while in the Free States it was 21.93, or almost two to ope in fa vor of Freedom. These results are• general; but if we take any particular Slave State, and com pare it with a! Free State, we shall find the same constant evidence' or Freedom. Take Virginia, with a territory of 61,352 miles, and New York, with a territory of 47,000, mrctver.l4,ooo square miles less than her sister State.. - New-York has one sea-port, Virginia some three or four; New Y.rk has oce noble river, Virginia has several; ll'ew York for 400 miles runs along the froz."en line of Canada; Virginia basks. in a climate of ceastant felicity. But Freedom is batter than climate, riv ers, or sea-pert In 1790, the -population of Virginia wai 748,308, and in 1850, it was 1,421,- 661. In '1790, the population of New York was 340,120, - and in • 1850, it was 3,096,394; -Wilt of Virginia had not doub led in sixty years, while that of NOW York had multiplied moreqban nine-fold. A similar comparison maybe made between •Kentuelty, with 37,680 square milis,,ad mittcd into the Milos as long age a 5 .1790, and Ohio, with 39.964 square tidies, ad mitted into the.

In the, Free States ; the valuation- per, acre was $lO 47, hi the Slave States only $3- 04. This disproportion; was . Still greater in 1255, acciailin7 to' the report of the Secretary Of the treastiry, when the.val. nation • of the-F.reeStatis 15,710,- 194,680 ; orsl4-72 per. acre ; and of the Slave Stites, $3,977,853,946; or, if we deduct the asserted Property in human flesh; $2,505,186,346, or $4 59 -per acre. Thus, in five years from 1850,- the Vain. : ation of property in the . Free States re ceived an increase of more than the whole accumulated valuation 'of the Slave Statei at that time. - . • Looking at details, we find the same disproportions. Arkansas and Michigan, equal in territory, were - admitted into the Union in the same year; and yet, in 1855, the whole Valuation of Arkansas, includ ing its asserted property in hutnae flesh, was only $64,240,726, while that.of Mich igan, without a single, Slave, was $116,- The'wholc aecuthulated valu ation of all the SlaVe Stated, deducting the asserted property in lumen_ flesh, in 1850, was only 81,655,9.45,137; but the valuation of New - York alone, in. 1855, reached the nearly equal sum of 61,401,- 285,279.. The valuation of North and South Carolina, Georgia,7Flor ida, and Texas, all together, in 1850; de ductiv.g human flesh, was $573,332,860, or simply $1 81 per acre, being less than, that of Massachusetts- alone, which was $573,342,286. or $ll4 85 per acre. The Slave States boast of agriculture; but here again, _ "notwithstanding "their su perior natural advantages, they must yield to the Free States at every point, .in ,the ninnber of farms and plantations; in the i number ofaeres of improved lands; in the' cash value of farms; in the average value per acre; and in 'the value, of farming implements, and machinery. Here is a short table: . -• - Sfaies•,- 7 --Numbor +Of- farna&-$7,-7,... 736; acres taf Improved laud, 57,688,040; cash value of farms, $2.143,344,437; av erage value per' acre, $l9 83 ; value of farming implements, $85,736,658. Slave States.—Numbdr of farms, 564, 203; acres of improved laud, 54,970,427; .cash.value of farms, $1,117,649,649; av erage value per acre, $6lB ; value of farm-. ing pjements, $65,345,625. Such is the nighty contrast. But it does .nat stop here. Careful tables place the agricultural products- of the Free States, for the year ending June, 1850, at $858,634,334, while those of the'Slave States were $631 ; 277,417; the product per acres in the Free States at $7 94, and the product per acre in the ,Slave States at $3 49; and the averaFe product of each agriculturist in the 'Free . States at 63:12, and in the Slave States it $lll. Thus, the Free States, with a smaller population engaged in agriculture than the . Slave States, with smaller territory, show an an nual sum -total of agricultural producti surpassing those of the Slave States by two hundred and twenty-seven millions of dollars, while twico'rs much is produc ed on an acre, and more than twice as much is produced by each agriculturist._ The monopoly .of cotton, rice, and cane sugar, with a climate granting two , and s °met:4m% three crops in a year, are thus impotent in the competition with Freedom. In manufactures, the :failure of the Slave States is greater. still. It appears at all points, in the capital employed, in the value of the raw material, in the an nual wages, and in the annual product. A short tab'.c will show the contraPt "Free States.—Capital, $436,249,051; value of raw material. $465.344,092; an nual wages, $195,976,453 ; annual Pro duct, $842,586,053. Slave States.—Capital, $95,029; 879; value of raw material, 886,190,639 ; an nual wages, $33,257,360; annual pro duct, $165,413,057. This might be illustrated by details with regard to different mann:Actium— whether of r hoes, cotton, woolen, pia iron, wrought iron, and iron castins-L-alrshow ing the contrast. It might also be illus trated by a comparison between different States; showing, for iustanCe, that* the manufactures of Massachusetts, - during the last year, exceeded, those of all the Slave States combined.- IU commerce, - tll6 failure of the Slave States is on .yet a larger scale. Under this head, the census dues not supply proper statistics, and we are left, there fore, to approximations from •other quar ters; but these are enough for our pur pose.. Itappears that, of the products which enter, into 'commerce, the- Free States had• an amount valued at. 61.,377, , - 199,968 ; the Slave States an -amount valued only at S-110,751,992; that of the persons engaged in trade,.the Free States had:136;856, and the Slave States 52,- 622; and that of the tonnage employed, the Free States had 2,790,195 tons, and EM!IMMIM!IIIIMEM=SM=rM the Slave States only 726,285. !Ibis was in 1659., .But inlBsolthe disproportion was Stilt greater, the k ree Statee having 4,252,015 tons, and the Slave Statei 855,- 517 to being a:diff*nce of ,five to One ; and 'o:o,C:tuna:re of Mcissa'cliultts alone being; 970,727 • tons, tin' amount larger than 'thitt :of all the" SliqCt .

The. for -0 comMerce of Now York aldne was more than twice as large as that of-all the Slave States; her , iniports were; larger, and her exports were ;larger also, Add to this testimony of kitties ,tho testimony of a Virginihn, Mr. Loudon, in a. letter written just before the sitting de Smith ern Commercial 6,nvention. 'Thus :he complains and testifies : '; There arc not half a:dozen vessels engag-. ed In our own trade that are owned) in: Vir ginia; and-1 haire been hnilble to find. a-ves sel at Liverpool loading Tor Virginia Nvithtn three years, during the'height of Our busy season." • ' Railroads and Cariale are the avenues of commerce; and here 'avain. the Flee States excel. Of railroad; in operation in-1854, there were 13,105 Miles in the Free States, and 4,212•10 the Slave, States. Of Canals here were 3,682 miles in the Free States, and 1,116 the Slave States. The Post Office, which is net only the agent of commerce, but of civilization, kin's in the uniform testimony. Accord ing to the tables for -1859, the postage collected in the .Free States was $5;532 - 909;-and the expense of carrying the mails. $6,748,189, leaving a!deficit of $1,215,- 189. the Slave State the ;amount collec,tecl was only $1,988,050; and the expense of carrying the mails $6,016,612, leaving :the enorinon* deficit of $4,028,- 668.difference-betweeti.theAwo ficiti being $2,813,372. The Slave States did not pay one third', of the expense of I ranspoi ting their., mails; and not la single Slave State paid for the transportation of its mails; not even the small State of Del aware. MassachnsettOeSides paying, for bets, had a surplus laiger than'the whole iamourit.collected in South Caroliba. Aceording to the censuS . of 1850. the the value of churches in the Free States was $67,773,477; iu - the Slave States $21,674,581. 1' Voluxtary chanty c ontributed fa 1855, for certain leading pu t rposes of Christian beneiolence, was, in, the Free! States, $953;813 ; for the smile purposes'" in. the Slave States, $194,784. For the Bible cause, the Free StateS contributed $319,- 667;• the Slave States, $68,125. For the Missionary cause, 'the first contributed $319,667 ; and the segond, 101,934 - . Fur the Tract Society the first .contributed 8131,972; and the second, $24,725. The amount contributed in Massachu'setts for the support of missions was greater than that - contributed by all the Slave' States, and more than eight times that Ctintribn ted by South Carolina. Nur have the Freci States been back-1 ward in charity, whep the Slave States have been smitten. The records of Mass achusetts show that as long ago as 1781, at the beginning of ihe Government, there was,ah extensive contribution throughout the Commonwealth, under the particular direction of that eminent patriot', 'Samuel Adams,"-for the relief of inhabitants of SOuth Carolina and Georgia. In 1355 we were' saddened the - prevalence. of yellow .fever in Portsmouth, Virginia; and now . , - frOm a report of the relief com mittee 'ofthat place,lwe learn that the amount of oharity contributed.. by the Slave States, exclusive of Virgiiiia, the afflicted-State, was 02,182,-ina,linclud init. Virginia, it was 8;33,398; while $42, 547 were coutributed ‘ by the Free States, In all this array we see the fatal influ ence of slavery, but its Barbarisin is yet more conspicuous when we conSidei its Educational Establishnients ' and, the un happy results which naturally ensue from their imperfect chareciter, I. Of colleges, in 1850, the Freci States bad 61, and the Slavei States 59 ; i but the comparative efficacy. of the insittutions which assume-this name May be measur ed, byoertain facts. The numberOt grad uates in 'the'lleo states _was 47,752, in the slave, states,, 19,648 ; the nuinbor, of ministers deemed ioj slave collegeS. was 747, in the free colleges 10,702; ;and the , number of volulnes in .the libraries of slave colleges 30,8.011; in the libi•aries of the-Free colleges 66.7227.- If the mete r- ials were at hand for a comparison be tween th-se aelloges, an, Jinildinge;-cabi iiets,.ind scientific. apparatus, 'or! in ; the standard of. scholarship, th.e diiference would be still More apparent.
