Certainly, every man, and every State,
will consider its own self.interest in this

view Of Northern and Southern interests.
There can be no necessity no pfopriety
in even limiting at non-intercourse with
our northern brethren. They will not
quarrel with our manufacturing estab-
lishments, nor with a direct transporta-
ton of our products to either England or
France. So far from it, they will supply
US with vessels and sailors, to take our
produce from New Orleans, Savannah,
Charleston, Richmond, Alexandra. and
from any other port, direct to Liverpool,
Bordeaux, Brest or Toulon, OF any where
else, and bring back whatever may be
ordered, until we can supply ourselves
with shipping and seamsn to do the work
without them. The people Of the south,
therefore have nothing to do but enoour-
age their manufacturers, create new es-
adjustments, vest more capital, increase
their maritime facilities and cannot all
this be done as we'll without threatning
a non.intercourse with our more enter
prising friends of the north :

The slave population Of the United

O42 slaves and sIo,5e9 free blacks !;
which shows they double in abou,
twenty five years; therefore, according
to the ratio, the Slave population o,
this time is about 2 800, 900, to which
add the free blacks, and it shows the
coloured or African race in the United
States to be equal to the whole popu-

Revolution, or nearly the same a. the
present population Of Scotland.
Mr.. CALHOUN, in letterto the editor
ofthe Washington Telegraph. observes
"Since you passed through the South,
the excitement in relation to the North
ern fanatics has very greatly Increased.
The indications are that the South will
be unanimous in their resistance, and
that their resistance will be of the most
determined character, even to the ex-
tent of disunion /; il that should be ne.
cessary to arrest the evil. / trust,
however, it may be arrested far short

or The New York Mirrsr, says: An
ingenious artisan has constructed the
model of new printing press. by which
it is believed ten thousand impressions of
the largest sized newspaper can be struck
off in the short space of one hour and
forty minutes. 1t is no small recommen-
dation to this improvement in mechanical
ingenuity that both sides can be Impress

been secured, and the inventor is expec-
ted to realize fortune by his discovery.
