grants, however, who embark from English
ports a small portion 10 English. The great
mass are Irish. And we think It highly proba-
BILE that more people have gone to England from
Ireland, and have remained, than the number of
English who have emigrated
Now the natural increase of the white people
Of the Southern States of this Union, is about
thirty per cent. in ten years. And we suppose
that If the circumstances of the English popu-
lation were equally comfortable, its increase
would have been equal And if that had been
30, there would be now, no less than three and
third millions Of people moro than there are
from the more natural progress Of population in
the last decade This enormous deficit il owing
mainly to the want of subsistence, aud to the
vice, crime, sickness, suffering and misery that
result from it, Marriage is late, children few,
and the relations of the sexes are disturbed and
deprsved. Aud where comfort does not exist,
many Of the children that are born, are not
reared, Where subsistence is difficult, the strug-
gle Coz lie is too great for the young and mex
pessesecd, os the old and iniirm, to wage against
the mature and vigorous.
Hence IL follows, that the present system OF
Bla3sh civilization is carried on at an annual ex-.
pense OF tasree hundred aud thirty thousand
peeple--saore than were lost by NAPOLEON in
che Disastrous expedition to Russia. And it
docs moi mitigate the result, that half of the
loss, now annually suffered, consists largely of
women and children, who perish by slow de-
grees Of sufferings, greater in the aggregate
than those which befel the Gallo host.
Another disastrous development of the census
is that whilst the aggregate of population has in
creased only about twelve per cent, that of the
large cities is much greater. London has in
creased twenty-one per cent Liverpool, Man.
chester and Glasgow have grown rapidly The
inference is that the rural population of England
is hardly increasing at oil, and TINT the popula-
ton is becoming. more and more crowded, and
destined hereafter to still more misery than here
tofore
The system of British civilization is like that
of our Northern States.--It is commercial, ma
nufacturing. city life. 1t is hostile to slavery
that is to African slavery. England has by an
act of infatuated fanaticism and despotism sac
ri6ced five hundred millions of property in her
West Indies, and thereby blasted the most
wealthy and hourishing of her colonies. The
Northern and ruling section of this Union would
like to try the same experiment on the South.
But let him who admires dense population,
and manufactures, and commerce, and cities, and
hates African slavery, look at the consummation
of his system in England.

As long as the Democratic party remained
