REPLY TO THE NEW YORK EVESlNPosT-

REPLY TO THE NEW YORK E|ESlNPOSI-
SHOWING WHY FREE SOCIETY STAVES.
The Post is surprised at our theory, "tkt the reg
uar action of Free Society ia to beget efficiency oi
food and ultimate famine" We might rt the proof
of our theory ON the facts Of history. 'amne lbs
been the normal state Of Western Euroe since the
first French Revolution-which, like the subse'
uuent revolutions in Western Europe, as occasion.
ed by famine, or by scarcity, almost mounting to
famine. New England does not raise nough wheat
to feed her population month-'ard, 1t enough In
dian corn to feed her live stock. Evewhers, in our
free States agriculture is rapidly dec ing Even in
the Northwest, it is Stunned and uWded, and does
not keep pace with the increase OF pcilation. Free
Society teaches every man to engagen that KIND oi
labor which is most profitable. Arcultural labor
is the simplest and worst remunerad of any other
hence all who can, avoid It. Men mfound rent or
the profits of the owner Of the farnwith the wages
of the farm laborer. All farm haio pny rent, be-
cause the owner OF the farm dedus it from their
wages. Farm labor, in Free Sociy, cannot be OBJ
tanned in sufficient quantity, beese other occupa-
tions are better paid. If this theT does not satisfy
the Post let it make one for itse Free Society is
starving, and has been starving foseven'y years.
Slave Society, in all ages, and nil countries, has
had plenty to eat and to wear, al plenty OF fuel anu
house room. Poor houses, and jls, arc almost un-
necessary, where slaves are abuiaut. The masters
prevent crime and mcndicy. We would like to
see the Posts theory, accountir for the poverty
crime, infdelity, anarchy and Righteousness Of Free
Society, and for the plenty, molty, conservatism
good ORDER and universal christie faith Of Slave So
cietY.

We learn from the New London Chronicle that q
company of most respectable citizens, with capital
of ten millions of dollars has been organized Ill New

of vegetation appears, and the only inhabitants arc
myrinds of sea birds that hover over lis surface.
The company have dispatched two ships to the
island one from the Atlantic and one from the Paclfc
md We learn farther that tho President and the Sec
rptary of War have ordered the Commander OF our
souadron in the Pacific 70 send forthwith ship to
protect the interests OF the company, and to carry out

lowing extracts from a Prospectus OF The american

and interesting information, which, We have reason
to believe, can be fully relied on:
