Mr. Claws farm is in Madison County, Ky. white
baIP. o. and we earnestly entreat Southern gentle
men. especially planters who are willing to know tae
tnth 20 visit it, TO how it compares IN appearance
with the average Of those around it, take the testi
o,y of the neghbors and draw their own conclusions
We know well that but part of the benefits OF Eman
enatiop can be experienced while Slavery is st mp
held BY law and prevalent custom and yet we feel
sure that Slave-holding is enormous aud garing
bupder that Emancipation will demonstrate its own
wisdom even ,rihOz fair play-haf chance will an

Sugar were not enormously pro6tabe-twice as remu-
perstine 81 present prices as business generay IS
buying hands st $1,000 each for such growing would
ruin most of those who embarked in it, If the master
mechanics Of this City obliged TO buy their work
men az coo each and then support them giving them
slave living and getting but slave labor out OF them,
those masters could not live, and New York would soon
be as deficient in Manufacturing Industry as Charles
ton and New-Orleans From the first hour shat the
successful working of the Steam Engine was undoubt-

nism If twenty capable planters would agree to iber-
ate all their slaves and work their plantations instead

would succeed while the truth that Free Labor is more
profitable than Slave Labor even in Louisiana or
Texas. would thereby be established.

fertile grangrowng region of Western Maryland (his
life long residence and that there could be no mistake
nor doubt as to the result plantation of 1000 fertile
acres was farmed with average science and care by
PLANTER who owned one hundred and ten slaves Gold aud
young. male ana femae) who raised large crop Of
Grain and made large amount of Pork but they with
the family ate il all up and out that the plant
or only brought the year round by selling of two orthree
negroes each year while his farm rather deteriorated
little distance from this fair specimen of Maryland

Just such land aud employing on it six trst-rate inse
gent white farmers with the wives Of two or three 20 do
the homework paid good wages This man realized
handsome profit from each years operations while his
farm under thorough culture and high manurng, grew
steadily better and better And thirty years hence will
very probably see the Shareholders plantation cut up
into manageable farms, owned respectively by the sons
Of the Northern farmer, while the sons of the slave
holder will be wandering and plotting in Venezuela or
Guiana with view to the remuneration of said country
IN order to extend the power and blessings of Slavery
Let all court and come to the light of investigation.
