The broken ties of happier days,
- How often do theyseem
To comb.before our ment4l gaze
Like a remembered dream; ..
Around us each dissevered chain
. In sparkling ruins lies,
And earthly bands can ne'er again
Unite those.brokea ties.
•
The parents of our infant borne,
The kindred that we - loed, •
Fat: froin oar

- perchance may roam
To distant scenes reitioce4 i• •
Or we have watched their parting
And, closed their weary eyes,
And sighed to think how sadly death
Can sever human - tles.
1'
The friends, the loved ones cf our youth,
They are gone or changed g ' -
Or, worse than all, their love and truth
Are da.rken'd - and estrariged.
They meet us in a glittering throng,
Witir'ecild, averted eyes,
And wonder that we, weep our wrong,
And MUM our broken ties.
0! who in sue!' a world its this
Could bear their lot of pain,
Did not our radiant hope of bliss
Unclouded yet remain ?
That hopethe sovereign Lord has given,
11r.bo reigns beyond the skies,
That hope unites our soul•to Heaven
By truth's buduritig ties..
Each care, each ill of mortal birth,
Is sent•in pitying love,
To lift - the lingering heart from earth,
• And speed its flight above.
And every pang which rends the breast,
And every juy that dies,
Tells-us to seek a heavenly rest,
And trust to holier tics,
The Barbarism of Slavery.

HON. CHAS. 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

and Ohio, with 39.964 square tidies, ad
mitted into the. Union is 1802. 1'61850,
the Slave State had a population" of oply
982,405, while Ohio had &Population of

cording to the census of:1850; the value
of property in the: Free .States, was .$4,-
107,162,198, while in the Slave States it
was 62,936,090,737; or, if we dednet the
asserted 'property' it hunniu flesh; only
$1,655,945,137=1—5h0wing - ati enormous
difference ; of billions in favor of Freedom.
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

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

to this testimony of kitties

written just before the sitting de Smith

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

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
