FACTS AND REMARKS

USkfUL AT THE PRESEHT SUNCTUHRs
Cui=ens Of he .Norlh,
Before YOU suffer your passions to be
excited against your brethren OF the south,
and before you think favorably Of divi
sion Of the Union, it certainly behoves
YOU 10 look well to the consequences. We
shall pass over for the present the coi.si-
derations OF blood and var, which must in
eytabiy attend such an infatuated pro-
ceeding, aud call your attention 10 the sub.
ject in hecu,aary point ofview. YOUR
MONEY! YOUR MONEY! is deeply
concerned on this question, together with
he ftroduee of your farms, and your farms
themselves, with your herso1iat freedom and
indei'endcnce.
What, fellow citizens. in case of divi-
SIGN, would become of the PUBLIC DEpT,
amounting to near an HUNDRED MILLIONS
OF DoLLAas3 Would our creditors, the
owners in the funds, to whom the debt is
cue, consent to give it up? 10 they in
tend to be so patriotic, while they call for
This proceeding? will they resign their
princely fortunes for the sake OF being dis
connected with the hated men of the
south - latter not yourselves with so
vain all illusion.
Would Virginia and the states at the
southwark agree to divide the debt into e.
quail moleties ard take one halfupon them
selves to pay 10 NORTHERN spectators, who
are the owners, andwho drew great share
o' it from the southern people ! Certainly
not. The utmost that could be expected
would be, that the southern states would
become responsible for the portion of debt
which belongs to their OWE citizens, and
for no more. This would be but small
part Of the whole amount, and he bulk OF
the debt would inevitably fall upon the
northern division TO pay.--Yes the bulk Of
1t would fall upon the northern division,
though the line were to be drawn no far
Their south than .M7y-Jersey And if upon
the northern division, it is not difficult to
foresee 7vho would be compelled to bear
the butlhen 1T would be the IdrmeTs, ma
nufaciurtTs and mechanics by an enormous
land fdr, e1cise and every species OF inter-
nal farafion. Is this doubted look at
the system which was introduced by the
last administration and repealed by the
present-listen TO The uproar which has
been made in consequence Of the repeal.
The lordlings whom you have trusted, &
who would contriye to acquire your trust
again, would quickly revive The abolished
system OF internal taxes, and il would be
one principal means Of reducing you ulli.
mately to the glorious condition Of the Brit
ish yeomanry, the condition ofyassaIs and
tenants at will.
That these remarks are not built on a
flinisy foundation, we shall briefly advert
to the history Of speculation, and then
state from document deemed authentic,
comparative view of the property owned
in the public funds (the same as the pub
lie debO in the two portions Of the Union
respectively.
