As 70 Pauperism, We showed the other day,
that comparing all the free States with all the
slave States, the number Of paupers receiving
public support, was in 1850, little larger in
the Sormer than the latter that this was no
exact criterion Of the amount OF actual palpsr-
ssm IN the two sections rs il is we'll known that
public charities are more ample in one section
than 10 the other that the great class Of labor.
ers, most liable to prvation and dependence,
are chilly slaves in ono section, while they
are all free in the other that the siapes OF the
South are psupers at private charge; and that.
owing 10 the protracted and extreme cold
weather of the North, we might naturally ex.
pest more physical suffering there, than in the
genial chimes Of the South, other things being
squsl-a suppos;siou verified by the Census.
Tie table relied upon by Mr.. Butler is n de
csptive one. II compares old and densely
psopled Statea in high Northern latitude,
with now and rparssly peopled States, in less
rigorous latitudcs. II compares the whole

and foreign, with the whole number in Ten.

Why did not Mr.. Anderson compare Tonnes
ses, Ksntscky, and Missouri, with Ohio, Indi-
ana, and Illinois, Adjoining each other,
alike in productions, soiI, and climate, and
chiefly agricultural, the principal difference
between tho two classes lies in the nature Of
their system OF labor And what does the
Census show Ia relation to them That tho
nansber Of panpers relieved in the year 1850,
- public expense, was in tho three slave
