The Commercial bsuefts Of Siapey, by DR.. VIM. S.
Price. Of SpencervllIe, Ala.
In this extract DIR P. labois establish these three
several propositions:
First, that the results Of SLAVE labor furnish the
basis for commerce, and that II cannot be furnished
by any her description Of labor.
Second, the tendency which slavery has in giving
stability To governments.
THIRD. The contributions Of slayary to national
wealth.
The writer takes the view which most men of his
class have taken, when writing upon the subject Of
slavery He ignores all knowledge and all statistics
OF the results of free labor and basing his cacula
tons upon certain Custom house returns Of the exports
OF cotton. rice, and tobacco takes il for granted that
these products are the great staple productions the
country which alone enable the country to pay its
Indebtedness to the old world for It's varied Imports
He put all down as 50 much surplus profit to the
credit of the system, when every one knows who
knows any thing, that these exports are not a sur
plus Of profits, but thai the Slave States are always

articles Of northern production which they mus,
have. 1t all sounds very we'll upon paper for the
Shareholders 10 talk about their productions as of the
bas,s Of Commerce, but to come to the real fact o.
the case, they have little nothing to do with them
as a commercial basis. The slavehoding states
with all their boosted reproductions for EXPORTS do
not, in reality, produce anything for export them
sslvss. The shipment of cotton, ice, and tobacco
to foreign ports,o supply the demands OF commerce,
is mostly done by Northern men upon Northern ac.
count, who have paid for it in advance, from the
surplus products of their more intelligent and skill.

We hope to see some one who is competent 20 the
task, illustrate DR. Price and the southern readers
of Hunt, the entire Iaacy of his reasoning upon his
very lallacious propositions.
The Commercial Chronicle and Review Of the
present month is an invaluable paper business men
at the present time, and no engaged in CONNER

rusal. Besides, the articles we have noticed, the
Magazine contains great deal Of other instructive
and useful matter, and, believing that faithful pc.
rusal of lis contents viii repay its cost ten fold to
any intelligent person engaged in any department of
trade or manufacture, we commend il TO The atten
ton OF that class Of our readers.
