1t thus appears that the States in which the
number OF slaves is the greatest in proportion
TO population, are precisely those in which the
largest proportion exists, of landholders South
Carolina, whose slaves exceed the number oil
whites, and who has been denounced as aristo
cratic, unthrilty, benighted, and mpracticable
turns out TO have the largest body of land
holders, in proportion to white population, OF
any State in the Union. About one in nine OF
her whole white population is landholder, that
is about one-half of her white adult male popu.
lation-whilst Massachusetts, the model North
ern State, has only about one in twenty-seven
Virginia has almost twice as many landholders
in proportion to white population as New York,
and Kentucky third more than Ohio. Mis-
sissipp, which, next to South Carolina has the
largest proportion of slavee, has also the largest
proportion OF landholders-has larger proper.
ton even than Indiana and Illinois And, in fact.
the odds are universally on the side of the
saveholding States.
Now this country exults with reason in the
great enterprise which her increase in ships,
factories, roads and canals, indicates. But a
much greater amount of enterprise is displayed
in the prodgious number of farms and panta.
tons We have conquered from the wilderness
And it is to them we chiefly owe our ships, fac
tories canals and railroads But these farms
and plantations are the achievements chiefly of
Southern enterprise, energy, skill, capital and
labor. They are the great nurseries of popua
ton, of liberty, of valor, of patriotism, of NOR
MS, of wealth, ofindustry, of power They have
progresse and hourished whilst government
has noursted commerce and manufactures, and
poured out its expenditures in cities, in harbors
in igh.-houses-and finally, government has ex
Guided even from it's territory, the NY section
which has demonstrated by the ceqtps of the

The South may yet triumph over the vices o.
morbid civilization, the bigotry of morbid
philanthropy and the tyranny of perverted gov
ernmcnt The South has sown the seeds Of her
greatness and prosperity in the soil, and every
shower and sunshine minister to her growth
and expansion. Hers is the language Of the
go' t, as well as of philosophy and policy

If philosopher or man of sense were asked
what condition Of society was the most prosper
GUS, the most happy, the most moral, the most
powerful, the most free and the most healthy,
he would probably answer, " that which contains
the greatest number Of land owners, or farmers
and planters" provided their farms are large
enough If we were called on to reconstruct,
like LycURGUs, system of society, we think
we would divide the land into tracts of five
hundred acres each, and give one to each head
of white family, until we had provided for
about three-fourths Of them, leaving the other
fourth for commerce, manufactures, &c. Mod
ern theoretc philanthropy would probably or
ganize communities with large boarding house
factory, a church or lecture room, school house
library, &c, and have the diet, clothing pursuits
marriages, and education of all, regulated by
board of directory, elected by numerical ma
jority
In the Northern accounts OF slavery, it is usu-
ally stated that the wealth of the South is con.
centrated in the hands of small number Of
slaveholders, and that there is large class OF
OF poor white people almost as degraded, i'm.
poverished and miserable as the slaves
We are indebted TO the speech of Senator
Dawson, of Georgia, for the following:
In Great Britain, the population in 1851, in
GLIDING Ireland and the islands of the British
seas, was 27,5l9866; the number of landhold
ers only about 10000.
In the United States and territories, the free
white population, by the last census, was 10,
63O,7aS. Thenumber of landholders owners
of farms-was l,448 486 Add to this the nun
Der of freeholders as c0ntradisting from
farm.owuers, being 93O,997, and it would in
crease the number to 2,379,4s3, distributed as
follows
