THE INCREASE OF THE SOUTH. - The re.
suits of the census of 1850 are by no means
as unfavorabIe to the South as her adver.
saries and detractors had anticipated 1t
appears from the new census that the free
States, which, in 1910, had population Of
OPS, ,922, have in ] $50 population of 49,
574,797. In 1910 the total population OF
the South was 1924, 1891. In 1850, it is
1862, ,l72 The foreign emigration, it is
well known, goes almost exclusively to the
free States, and this emigration with its ma
tura increase is estimated by the Southern
Press as two millions flor the last two years
only, it has averaged 100000 per annum

present population Of the North, and there

crease of only l,845,665, or less than nine
teen per cent. in ten years. The total po-
puation of the South in 1910, was 1888

ing a natural increase, (since there has been
little or no foreign emigration,) Of nearly
twenty-eight per cent. nearly fifty per cent
more than the natural increase of the North
ain all the decades that have elapsed
since this Union was formed, our increase
of population has been nearly the same, DIFF
fering only one or two per cent. in the one
of 1834-'50--it has been but almost the
same, about thirty-fve per cent; although
in these ten years our foreign emigration
has trebled the number for the previous
tve,,ty years. From I 800 to 1910, it wa:
only 79s,770. 1t results, therefore, that
the ratio of natural increase Of the North
has at length fallen at least fifty per cent
below the previous rate, whilst that OF the
South has not declined at ALL - MobN'

They Win not Understand.

lt seems impossible for the submis
sionists of the whig party to disting,
uish between the love of principle
and the love of place. Having no fix
ed principles themselves, no uninter,
ested patriotism warming their hoscms
they cannot see how a whig can leave
iile leader Henry Clay, under whose
direction alone they ever hope to be
ever lead into office, for the mere love
of principle; hence, the ridicule with
which they assail those who have
boldness and independence enough TO
think for themselves, and patriotism to
prefer their country to their party.
Those in Yazoo, who have disregard
ed the instincts of party aud come
prominently forward and attached
themselves to the Southern Rights
cause, have suffered all kinds of re-
proach and contumely, their motives
have been traduced, and every effort
made to weaken their influence with
their party. Since the call of a State
convention by the Democratic party,
the wings either do, or effect to regard
it as a "death blow" to the hopes of
those who have united with us upon
the Southern Rights question-as if
they attached themselves to the party,
for the "loaves and fishes" They
have higher and nobler aims in view.
They spurn the temptations of office,
and look alone to their country's good.
These party censors affect TO see, in
the zeal with which the champions of
Southern Rights, urge the propriety of
an organized opposition to the steady
encroachments of the north, the mere
opponents of individual and selfish
ambition. Their vision is so becloud-
ed with selfish projects, in which the
welfare of their country never enters
that'they feel scandalized by the sup
position that man can be honest and
disinterested in his political views.
We are proud to hnow that some of
the warmest adherents of the South
ern Rights cause, among our whig
friends, are men who have never held
and never sought office of any kind.
The magnitude Of the subject is such,
that all minor and selfish considera
tions stand rebuked in its presence /;
and the democratic party did wisely,
in detaching from all alliance with it
as a party, thus removing the only
chance of scandal which could possi-
bly, attach so those who have the inter.
est of their country sufficiently at
heart to break all party alliances, and
declare for the south and her institu.
tions. AS it now stands, those who
advocate the cause, do it for the "cause
sake."-Y Yazoo Democrat

THE DESIGN OF THE ABoLrTIoNIsTs---W
ask the attention of our readers to the fol-
lowing review of a late sermon, from an
abolition paper. 1t clearly foreshadows the
design Of the anti.slaveryites. They are
making hue and cry against the fugitive
slave law and are Justify camoring for its
repeal. But they will not be satisfied with
that, merely. They will not rest content
until the clause upon which it is based of
the Constitution, is removed. This is evi.
dent. 1t CRATES harshly upon the feelings
OF the fanatics who are assailing the rights
of the South; and as they conld not be sat-
isfed with the Union while the ''slave pen"
were tolerated in the city Of Washington,
so will their sensibilties continue to be
shocked until the Constitution itself is al
tered. Repeal the law, and then blow will
follow blow in rapid succession for a change
of the Constitution. This is now being
given out The abolitioHists have discov-
cred that the masses at the North are deter
mined to return members to Congress to re.
peal the present law, and they are now look
| ing forward to another step. Ii has been
announced from the pulpit, and the propo-
sition will spread like wild fire over the
North.
He is a singularly deluded citizen of the
South, who entertains the most remote hope
that any sacrifice short of the extinction Of
our institutions will appease the demands
of our Northern oppressors. Their conduct
since the passage Of the Compromise meas
ures proves this Although everything, as
Mr.. Beekman, the conservative" Whig
in the New York Legislature, said, that the
North could ask for, was yielded to her in
chat settlement: yet she is far more clamor-
GUS for sacrifices on her altar--far more in.
tolerant and exacting than ever before
The abolition paper says:
The Duty Of DiSobeying Wicked La,cs
"A Sermon By Charles Beecher. This is
plain talk under plain ttle--no dealing in
abstract principles, but clear and frank
application of rigid principle to practical
every day life. The author looks on the
Constitutional provision itself as wicked and
criminal, and advises disobedience TO that,
This is the root OF the matter; but too many
Of the essays on the surrender of fugitive
slaves content themselves with denouncing
the unconstitutionality Of the recent statute,
without informing their readers what is to
be done with the provision of the Cousiitu-
ton ITSELF What is wanted throughout tae
North is a thorough discussion of the ques-
ton, what is our duty in relation to that
clause of Tie Constitution which relates to
fugitive slaves ITO result, if it be thorough
aud truthful, in an unanimous decision that
no matter what the method, or how legal
the process, no slave, who has once reached
the free States, shall ever be carried back.
