In both these cases the work people who had acquired
kill were scattered to the four winds OF heaven and
IN both the work Of instruction has required to be re-
commenced and SO will it ever be while the South
shall continue to exercise its present control over all
the Operatives of the Government.
The farmers of the North know well that the nearer
the market the greater is the value of their labor and
their lard but whenever they undertake to govern
Themselves and endeayOr bring the market 10 their
doors they are met with a demand 10 pay for more
slave territory to be used in depriying them OF all
power to sCt in accordance with their own views OF
their true interests. They asked now to yield up
Nebraska on side, and purchase Cuba on the other
and for what purpose To riyet their chains by max
irr EIGHT ten. or twelve more Slavery votes in the
Senate that shall refuse them protection against
difficulty that tends steadily TO diminish while the adj
yocates OF slavery take for themselves protection
against a natural obstacle that time can never either
diminish or DESTROY. Cuba and Brazil have advantages
for the growth of sugor that are entirely wanting in

tie one the cane is required TO planted but once in
fifteen OF twenty years and the planter makes MS crop
1t any time that suits him. whereas in the others II
has to be planted annually, and must be cut before the
frost; and vet the planter is we'll content win the
protection against nature that he now enjoys, while
DENYING tie propriety of any protection TO the north
eru lalorcr who wars not against nature but only
against those difficulties that time must unique son-
ably remove. The people OF the North pay fourteen
millions annually for the quantity OF sugar that
they could have from Cuba and Brazil for ten; and
this is really tax upon them for they ENJOY 40 adj
vsntages resulting from it, whereas the people Of the
South profit by northern protection in obtaining more
tor their cotton and paying less than they would other
wise DO icr their cloth and their iron. Were the
North abandoned by the South, she would lay
10 duty on sugar, and the gain to her people
from the abolition of this interference with the trade
with Cuba Brazil, Isyti Liberia, and other sugar
producing countries and the consequent extension OF
trade with item would we believe, be fully equal
10 al tie profits resulting TO the trade Tor which
the North is indebted to the Union.
That. however is but a small portion of the tax
paid by the free people of the North for the mainte-
nance and extension of Slavery. and il is but small
mart of the cost from which they would be relieved by
that secession which according to The Charleston
N,ycpru would constitute 1.-THE real triumph Of the
south" Once restored to the exercise OF the right
TO govern Themselves their vast OF fuel and
OF conner lead zine. iron and other ores would be
developed and the men employed In the work would
tLen furnish permanent market for food three great
er than that furnished By all the manufacturing countries
Of E0rope Mark-lanc would then cease to fix the
prices of our farmers while Wales and Stafiordshre
oud cease 70 fl the price of iron, and we should cease
70 sue bonds for twenty-five millions year to pay
for itep 10 be laid over the great coal and regions
Of tie West The products OF the farm would then
increase in both quantity and price while cloth and iron
woud be far cheaper than they are now. Labor
voud II en- be- more productive of all the commodities
reauired by the labCrer, who would then ENJOY al
v,ntaces 10 which he now can make no claim because
the whole policy OF the country is and long has BEEN
controlled by men who wish to purchase labor aud
desire that bone muscle and sinew may be cheaPly
sold
LET our readers now estimate for Themselves the
annual loss TO which our farmers are subjected by
reason of tie distance of the markets to which they
are forced to carry their products because OF the di
fcltv. under southern policy OF bringing into activity
the coal the various ores, aud the vast water powers
Of Union and see if it will be covered by ten' or
even twenty dollars head To this let them add the
annual loss from taxation for extendog the area OF
slavery by the purchase OF territory for the projected
purelase Of the Mesilla Valley aud Cuba for the
maintenance OF fleets and armies required by these
rev possessions and the further loss from the fact
that n construction OF harbors and the improvement
Of rysrs are by the advocates of slavery deemed TO
lie unconstitutional Aud 10 al these the further loss
rulting from policy which desires to exclude the
free immigrant. while it would have absolute free
trade" in the importation Of the enslayed negroes OF
Africa After which they may determine if the estl'
mate that ha. been submitted to them Of the cost OF
the Union i. not below the truth.
