The Evils OF Civilization.

"The effects Of Civilization on the people in
European States,' is the title of book by
CHARLES Hall, Nj. d., that originally APP
peared in London in 1905, and has just been re-
published by &. GRIFFIN, OF that city. We
learn from review of it, which we find in a
British periodical, that ii declares the greater
part of manufactures, trade, and commerce, 10
be highly injurious to the poor, $ as being the
chief means OF depriving them Of the necessa-
ries of life''
The reviewer affirms that "such books
should be left in that oblivion to which the
good sense Of mankind has consigned them -
but had he paused to inquire whether the pres
ent issue is intended for his own or our side of
the Atlantic, he might have arrived at a
different conclusion. The idea advanced by
DR.. HALL in England, forty five years ago,
has American advocates at the present day
men who zealously contend that the wei
fare Of our people depends upon the labo-
rious prosecution of agriculture, to the ne
gect of all other occupations, save so much at
tention to commerce as will be necessary to for
ward to distant regions the products of their
soil, and to return to the planter his meagre
reward in the manufactures of nations that
derive their chief wealth from his productions
Dsdaining, with all the dignity of Macgre-
gor, the degrading and ungenial pursuits OF
cities, they seek to find in imagined superiority
an JUNCTION for their selfinflicted injuries-foI
their voluntary sacrifices, for the benefits they
en- wantnply throw IN the winds
If ideas like these are obsolete in England
and civilization" finds no opponents upon her
shores, Mr.. GRIFFIN's enterprise may still moi
prove abortive; his volume will be sure of adj
mirers and purchasers amongst such Americans
decry protective tariffs, and the only safe re-
lance they possess-A HOME MARKET.

Some of the Fruits Of Agitation.

Whilst there is a large and predominant
party at the South in favor of preserving the
Union, there seems general disposition to
compromise with the extremists upon sys-
TEN of non-intercourse This, they think, will
teach the ultras of the North the value of this
Union to them; it will invoke the mediation of
the practical interests of the North to quiet the
strife and restore the suspended relations. 1t
will, also, in their opinion, promote the pros
perity of the South. They offer it as more
practical remedy for obtaining redress of
grievances, and for rebuking its enemies, than
lofty resolves or indignant declarations. For
ourselves, we should consider the influence of
one conscientious non-consumer more to be
dreaded than that Of ten fre-eaters.
Let the manufacturers of the East-let the
rosy-cheeked depositors in the Lowell Savings
Bank and contributors to the Lowell Offering
read the following article, and they may per-
ceive that they have some stake in this great
national question
"THE TRUE REsEpY.-we would respectfully
suggest to our Southern friends whether il would
not be well to mark those States in which the Fu-
not 10 make purchases of any kind from those
States. There seems a strong disposition in por-
tons Of Massaehuseus to resist the law. Let the
South observe the result and If this disposition il
carried out 90 far rs TO prevent Southern men by
violence or fraud from receiving their property,
let the South resolve never hereafter 10 buy dol
lars worth Of the productions Of Massachusetts,.
II appears that in the great manufacturing town
Of Lowell, Massachusetts,, large meeting has been
held at which it resolved To call back three ia.
gitve slaves who had fed from that city TO Canada
with pledge that they should be protected from
arrest by the citizens Of Lowell. That place il the
great centre Of the manufacturing interest Of Mas
sachusctts, and gains its livelihood 10y the manu-
aoture Of the products Of slave labor. II ALEC sells
large quantities Of lie manufactures to the South.
Let the South, then, mark LOWELL. Let associa-
lions be formed in the Southern States, and reso.
lutions passed not TO purchase any article Of any
Northern State city in which the law respecting
fugitive slaves is successfully resisted"

nIr. TOonlbs.

We pabish o-day the address OF this distln-
guished advocate of Southern rights and true
friend Of the Union. We are rejoiced to have so
able defence OF the consistency Of his past con-
duct. and 50 distinct an exposition Of his inten-
tions. We had perceived that the ultraists had
calculated much upon his assistance in the in
sane war which they are waging upon the
peace of the country. He has been denounced
because, having maintained the rights of the
South upon the floor Of Congress, he was. in
the language of the Mississippi meeting, of opin-
ion that the South may honorably acquiesce"
in the recent legislation Of Congress. We think
that we appreciate the position of Mr.. TooMBs
He opposed the WilmUt proviso as, in his
opinion, willul and unnecessary outrage upon
the rights OF the South; as declaration of
power 10 construe and enforce the Federal Con-
sttutlon upon the part of mere legislative ma
jority, incoml atbe with the rights of his con
stituenis. He resisted that measure. II was
not imposed upon the Territorial bills. He OPP
posed the abolition OF slavery in the District.
He insisted upon an amendment of the acts for
recovering fugitives. Every condition which
he conceived essential 10 the honor or interests
OF the South was complied with. He appreci-
ated these concessions indispensable to national
harmony. twas the triumph Of non-interven-
ton. Notwithstanding his objections 10 the
Legislative action Of Congress, he does not re
gard disunion as a remedy, but endeavors
TO reconcile his fellow citizens to the adjust
ment. In this he does what, in our opinion,
proves him wise statesman and pure patriot
The reproach Of disappointed factionists is the
surest testimonial of his merits and of his sue.

are fulfilled the words Of the inspired writers :
" Come out Of her (Babylon) my people" Rev.
xviii. (. Behold the bridegroom coIncth, go yc
out 10 meet him." Matt. XIV. o. 81 will say To the

bring my SONS from far, and my daughters from
the ends OF the earth every one that is called
by my name. Depart ye, depart yc,, go ye out
from thence" Isaiah xiii. o, 7, and lii. H. Let
the nations Of Old Babylon take warning, for Gods
elect are departing out Of their midst. Remember

THE REPU BLIC.
WASHIN GT0N:
TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER Is, 1850.
The colieetorship OF SAN Francisco.

The Hon. Il. BUTLER king was yesterday
appointed 10 the office OF Collector of San
Francisco We are glad that this important
and highly responsible position has been en-
trusted TO gentleman so eminenay qualified
10 discharge It's duties. The premature an
nouncement of this appointment has called
forth from the public press, in all quarters, the
wamest appreciation.
1t is not necessary for us TO add any thing to
these generous encomums. San Francisco Is
rapidly becoming one of the great commercial
centres of the world and questions Of national
interest must necessarily arise there which will
demand the exercise of the greatest prudence
and discretion. There is no place under the
Government in which the experience and COM
mercial information Of Mr.. King could be made
more available TO the public service
II is proper that we should add that, immedi-
ately upon the decination of the Hon. JOHN 4.
COLLIER, the PRESIDENT determined TO tender
the office TO Mr.. kISG, and that the delay in
issuiag his commission has arisen from the alb
sence Of Mr.. CoRwIN The office was yolun-
tarily bestowed, without solicitation on the part
of Mr. KINGS friends, and is the more accepta-
BILE, doubtless, 10 the recipient from having
been entirely unsought.

DlsuOLOn DiXIne6.

We perceive the drum ecclesiastical is begin
ming to summon the combatants to the contest
between the North and South, and we regard it
as one OF the most uniavorable symptoms which
present themselves. When those whose mission
is peace and goodwill to men encourage strife
and civil war, the political question becomes
complicated with religious opinion, and there
can be no compromise when an obstinate opin-
ion and a tender conscience have to be recon-
ciled. We observe that some Northern Mac
Briar excites such of his colored brethren as
have no sword, to sell their garments and buy
one. This proposition, to convert sack coat
into revolver upon the approach of winter,
we conceive to be neither patriotic nor humane.
The Rev. lvEsoN ID. BRooKs, of South Carroll
ma, accidentally" attends public meeting in
Georgia, makes a long harangue upon the OPP
pressions Of the South, vindicates his right to
speak in Georgia from the fact that he has
''married three wives in that State, and
gives us to understand that he has thereby ac-
quired a considerable interest in the ''pecu-
liar institution " This eminent and prosperous
divine. having formed series of conjugal unions
with so much facility and advantage, seems to
regard the great form of government under
which he lives as very trivial affair, and does
not hesitate to say that the South should resist
what he is pleased to call the oppression under
which she labors. There is one other clergy
man of the church militant who is true TO the
Union and to Wing principles, and who will
maintain both against all corners and with any
weapon. We would cheerfully give several
inches Of our subscription list--the only curren-
! CIV of an editor-to see the Rev. Mr.. BRowN-
LOW encounter the belligerent divines of whom
we Just spoke. He would drub the first out OF
both garment and sword, and make the second
believe that the conjoint objurgations Of his la
mented and respectable spouses were raging
around his devoted head. We hope the high
and holy calling Of the clergy will rather prompt
them to minister TO the peace Of the country.
/ II the glorious Union deserves the admiration
Of mankind for any particular result, it is that
! il has allowed every man TO profess and main
tain any doctrine that he prefers. Having done
/ 50 much TO establish religious liberty, may we
not expect that the professors and teachers Of
religion will exert their influence 10 preserve it?

Thu Old DnmInInn.

We regard the Old Dominion as one Of the
Helcest States in the Confederacy. She is just
awaking to the knowledge that she possesses re-
sources which, in their variety and extent, are
unequalled by any Of her sister Commonwealth.
Her Chesapeake has been the fish pond Of
the large cltes-some Of her tlde-water coun-
ties their market-garden and woodward. Her
ample ports have been mere entrepots for the
commerce Of other States; whilst her produc-
tions have sought the ports Of Baltimore, New
Orleans, and Savannah @ for expectation. Her
mineral and metallic treasures have slumbered
in her mountains; her lands have been reduced
TO premature sterility, and her population was
annually drained Of into the West and South
west. Her statesmen devoted their energy and
intellect TO the discussion Of distractions and
10 supervising the legislation Of Congress. We
rejoice 20 see the evidences that all this is
changing. The Richmond Enquirer states that
the population Of Richmond will amount 10
nearly 10000. The rc-assessment Of lands
will show an increase Of from 80 20 100 per
cent. within ten years-adding at least one
hundred millions TO the value Of real estate
alone. II is estimated that the gross popula-
ton of the State has increased more than two
hundred thousand since the census Of 1910.
There are other favorable symptoms Of increas-
ing prosperity. The income Of Virginia has
within five years increased nearly one hundred
thousand dollars, without any increase in the
rate Of taxation. This evidence Of prosperity
cannot be mistaken. The balance Of eInigra-
ton is moreover largely in her favor. whilst
there is no emigration from Virginia. Northern
manufacturers and farmers are exploring the
State, purchasing lands, and, by the application
Of agricultural skill, enhancing their value
\ greatly. A more just estimation is now placed
upon the mineral resources Of the State
The valuable deposits Of camel coal are
finding an outlet for consumption upon the
Mississippi and 1T New Orleans The three
great lines Of railway which traverse her terri
tory will connect her metropolis and seaports
with the productions Of the interior. The
| Virginia and Tennessee railroads and the Cen
trail railroad Will, with their connexions, ex-
tend to the Mississippi at Memphis, and u
/ the Ohio at Cincinnati. The Baltimore and
! Ohio railroad also will accommodate. when
completed. about three hundred miles Of the
territory Of Virginia with an outlet to market
constructed, too, at the cost Of an enterprisng
city, which is willing to pay millions for the
commercial advantages Of such an improvement
In addition to these evidences Of physical de
veloPment. the statesmen Of Virginia are devot-
ing their attention more TO the study Of hel
natural advantages, and adopting more
liberal system Of rendering them available
