THE SOUTH PREPARED TO
RESIST OUTRAGE.

An interesting tact IS presented in
the Reportofthe Register ofthe I'reAs-
Eury for ls49. The whole amount of
agricultural products exported from
The United States during the past year
was Slll,O59,37S; and Of this sum
the cotton amounted to $66,396, ,967;
tobacco $5,S04,2O7, and rice S2,569,,
362. We may add to this $S,458 for
hemp, add 1924, ,906 for brown sugar
making a total Of S74,SO3,9OO. It ap.
pears then, that Of the whole amount
Of the agricultural exports Of the Uni
ted States only &c, ,2s8,s42 was the pro-
)duction Of the free States. ma
It's evident from this fact, that the
south was never in a better condition
TO maintain her Independence, if the
unfortunate collision with the free
States should compel herto do so.---
Nothing is truer in political economy,
than that q nation which raises more
than it consumes is amply able to buy.
We could support ourselves by an ex-
change Of industrial labor with other
nations, so as to realize all the COM
forts and luxuFieS of civilization which
we may obtain from the Northern
States. II we are thentobs insulted
by aboiitionists, our property stolen,
and our rights in the Federal Union
disregarded, if not despised, we can
have no motive to proIong 50 dishon.
orable an existence. We have our al
ternative aud we will take it. Some
Of the tree-soilers of the North have
been disparaging the available pecn-
mary resources of the Southern States,
In Mississippi our resources are ample.
We have about half million Of dol
lars in the Treasury, and we could
command the whole Of it, were itneed-
ed to shield either our own State from,
aggression or any Of our sister States.
