AN INTERESTING LESSON IN AMERICAN
GEOGRAPHY.

These, the three sources of national power, and
the rules which govern their increase, are what the
census was instituted to ascertain. 1t is q little
singular that in the comprehensive and %compendi.
GUS volume, issued by the United States govern
ment last year, there is no statement showing the
comparative rapidity with which each is advancing
in each Of the several states.
From the figures therein contained, however, it
is not difficult to frame such a statement. We OBJ
serve a correspondent of the National Lnteligeucey
has undertaken the task. In long table OF fig
ures taken from the census report, he arrives at
the following results, which, although they are
precise and certain MS any other sum in arithmetic,
n larc part Of the people of the Union steadfastly
deny OF purposely ignore.
A traveller who should set out at the Texan from.
tier, or anywhere else on the southwestern side of
the national domain, and Journey towards the
North and East, would meet on the road the follow
ing facts, one after another, in as regular success.
ion as the steps of a ladder:
l. Farms regularly diminishiin size and increase
in numb er as we proceed from South TO North and
East.
2. The proportion of improved land steadily in
creases, and that OF unimproved land steadily d.
minishes, irrespective of the density of ponu-
lation, as we proceed from South to North and
East.
3. The cash value of farms, both in the argre-
gate and in the price per acre, regularly in
creases as we proceed from South to North and
Fast.
4. The production of corn and wheat regular
Ily and steadily increases, without an excep-
ton, as we proceed from South to North and
East.
5. The productive industry of the people, both
in the aggregate and as individuals, regularly
increases as we proceed from South to North and
East.
6. The density of population regularly in

I. Therate of increase of population regularly in

A YANKEE,

We have seen a letter from Norfolk, Va, ad.
dressed to n respectable colored man in this city,
1om which we make the following extract:-
" Dear Brother: 1t is with n heavy heart and
wounded spirit l attempt to write these few lines
TO you. You must be in prayer for us we are in
great trouble at this time. Sayles and Brown have
got IN trouble in attempting to send five friends
North. Sayles made a bargain with Capt. Good
rich, master Of the schooner Grace Darling, of
Boston, to carry them North for S25 apiece, and
sent Brown to the captain to make the necessary
arrangements to put them on board.
The captain told Brown to have them on board
at III o'clock Saturday night. Brown did so, and
gave the captain SIPS. After he received the mo-
ncy, he said to Brown he had forgot something,
and he took the boat and came ashore and got tue
police, aud he'd the people put in gaol. The gem
tlemon in Norfolk are getting up n sum of two
hundred dollars for the captain. There were four
men and one woman among them. May the Lord
stand by them"
VIC do not propose to argue about cases Of this
kind, for webclieve it will be alike i'm polite and
unwise for those visiting the slave states to have
anything to do whatever with the escape of those
held in bondage. Such interference is generally
the result of mistaken zeal, which leads to great
mischief in many ways. In TIE present case, how
ever, ii the facts are as slated above, the cruelty
and meanncss of dcceiving these poor fellows into
tho belief that he would bcfriend them, an then
botraying them into the hands Of the policc, ana
robbing tLenrof their money besides, must be est.
mated alike by all honorable minds.

THE PRUDENT HUMANITY OF SLAVERY.

Thomas Boynton, of Georgia, hired a negro to
Francis Lenuard for one year for 500. Soon af-
terw0rd, the negro died, and Lennard insisted that
the time thus lost should be deducted from the
sum stipulated to be paid for the entire years scr.
vice. B%Oyonton refused to make any such deduc.
ton, and sued the delinquent. The case was tried
and ultimately carried to the Supreme court
Judge Lumpkin (recently appointed one of the
Judges of the new Board Of Claims) heard the
case and rendered q decision in favor of the own
.er.
The Judge assigns the reasons for this decision.
Among others the following:
Every safeguard, consistent with the stability
of the institution of Slavery, should he thrown
around the lives of these people," This is a very
significant sentence. 1t is as if the learned Judge
had said "lIuman life is too precious to be sacri.
feed, unless such sacrifice is found necessary to
the maintenance of Slavery, Murder should not
be allowed FOR the mere qualification of q brutal
passion. But if it should become evident that the
stability Of Slavery" would be promoted by the
massacre of a few or many men, women and chill
dren, the slaughter would be quito justifable.
The banditti Of Missouri are acting upon this
principle now. The only difference is that their
vengence is directed against free white men in
stead of negro slaves. They say with Judge
Lumpkin, that every safeguard consistent with
the stability of the institution Of slavery. should
be thrown around the lives Of the emigrants to
Kansas"
They would not tolerate the idea of shooting
them from the mere love Of the crime. But tar
and feathers, bowie knives, rifles and reyolvers-
murder by detail and wholesale-becomes n virtue
when it is committed to give stability to the in
stitution Of Slavery" The Richmond Post sim
ply Illuminated Judge Lumpkin's logic when it
exclaimed:
'Lct the Missourians 60 on as they have begun.
They will find themselves backed by the whole
force Of the Southern States. Let them 90 on I'M
til they have chased every Abolitionist out of Kan
sas. Then let President Pierce and his Freesoil
associates do what they burst. The free sons of
the South will be there with their rifles and re-
~volvers, to meet any Abolition army he may dare
to send for their su6jugation."
Is it strange that the Missouri banditti do as
they are doing, when a learned Judge officially de-
clares that even human life should be rendered
to the stability Of Slavery. "-.1lJany

THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.

These are the facts shown by the unerring figures
OF the census. They do not depend upon the com.
parative age, nor upon the fertility Of the states,
Tor whether we proceed from the older to the new
or, or from the newer to the older-from the fertile
to the sterile, or the sterile to the fertile, the result
is just the same.
This constant order of succession would seem
a. indicate some fixed law or constantly operating
cause. But what that law or cause may be the
census does not state. Neither does the Intelligent
Ger. Neither do We. But we think it is written
plainly enough, and that too "in black and white"
all over the face of this broad continent.

THE SLAVERY EXCITEMENT IN MIS-
SOURI,,

a meeting was held in Johnston county, Mo, a
few days ago, at which resolutions were adopted
declaring that no person opposed tt slavery should
be permitted to reside where the said institution
exists; that every free colored person must leave
that county Immediately, and that after the first
of August they shall be elected by force.
Erchange.
On this paragraph, the Macon (Ala.) Republi-
can comments as follows:
Such are some of the effects Of the iniquitous
and demonstrations course pursued by Massachu-
sets, and other abolition States. The south will
naturally retaliate, and if she cannot do It. accord
ing to the Constitution, she will do it notwith-
standing the Constitution. 1t has lately been rro-
posed by some Of our contemporaries, that the law
ycrs at the South should refuse to collect notes
add bills for Massachusetts creditors. We hope
they will do SO. 1t is a good idea as far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough. And we think it
would be found inefficient in practice. We should
prefer that every Southern State would pass a law,
declaring that no citizen of any State where the
fugitive slavelaw is not enforced, shall have the
use OF our courts for the collection of debts. And
that that fact, properly pleaded, shall be a bar to a
recovery in every court in the State. OF course
we know that it would be argued, that such a law
would be unconstitutional. But are we not justi-
fed in fighting Massachusetts, with her own weap-
ons? And are we not even justified in consider
ing her out of the Urion de facto, while she sets
at nought a law of Congress, and thus virtually
annuls the Constitution, and authorized to treat
her ms a foreign State?
There are doubtless difficulties lin any course
that may be pursued; but is it to he tolerated that
Massachusetts should trample upon the dearest
rights Of a confederate State, and yet continue to
enjoy all the advantages that the confederacy and
the constitution can give her? We think not-and
we are therefore in favor Of pursuing some course
that will bring her to her senses. If it can be
done constitutional lily, we'll and good; but if it can
not, we are in favor of doing it any how.
