Slavery VS.. Freedom.
SoNERswoRrH, n. H.

The STAKEHOLDER moves into new
country and goes into the cotton busi.
ness; his negroes raise from twenty to
thirty bales per head, annually and he
appears to be growing wealthy, and per-
haps he does sometimes make money
But what is the effect of the institution
on society? 1t is like the Upas tree,
which blasts every thing which touches
it, and the STAKEHOLDER soon suffers, in
common with his neighbors, from the
very source which had promised him
wealth and happiness. Contrast the
sunny South with New England; a land
of rocks and ice, of fogs and never end
ing northeast storms; and yet, New
England has had TO help clothe the
South ,rithous pay, and has her hundreds
of millions of dollars invested in rail
roads and manufacturing establishments;
while her commerce extends to every
part of the world, and carries to mark
ct the products of the slave States with
out which, or the aid of some power,
other than their own, those products
would rot on their soil.
Compare Massachusetts, with South
Carolina, as they were settled nearly al
the same time.
Massachusetts has a population oi
over 100000; while South Carolina
may possibly come up to 100000 but
to be as densely populated as Massa-
chusetts, she should have 3,700, 0,000.-
In 1850, the. valne of roal oesato ia
Massachusetts, was S349, 129, ,932; in
South Carolina it was S1O5, 5,737, ,499.
The valuation of Massachusetts,, was
on an area of less than 5000, 900 acers
and that of South Carolina on an area
of more than 18, 800, 600 acres.
Leaving out of the question the diff
ference in favor of South Carolina, on
account of climate and soil, had she kept
pace with Massachusetts,, her valuation
would have been 81 800, 100000. In
1849 the nett profits from manufactures
in South Carolina with her 84,934
slaves, and all of her agricultural pro-
ducts, reckoning cotton at ten cents per
pound, which is high price, were less
than S40,O00,000. In the same year
the nett profits from manufactures in
Massachusetts,, with I65,936 hands were
over $65,OO0,O0o; to which. add the
product of her fisheries COCO, 600; and
the products of her agriculture 1900,

From the .NssSDs.si Demccrdt.
Emigration from Missouri to Kansas.


Mr.. EDITOR From a recent number
of the Democrat | learn that Atchison Il
Co. propose to encourage the poorer class
of pro-slavery men to leave Missouri and
settle in Kansas, to secure the establish
ment of slavery in that Territory. Now,
| wish to ask the good people of this
State, if they are willing to encourage
this move? viii this promote our in
terests as a commonwealth Will it in
crease the price of our lands, tighten our
taxes, and improve our manufacturing
efforts, or aid our agriculturists, to in
crease the number of laborers now among
us? Thousands of bushels of the ehois-
est grain will this year perish ON the
ground for the want of hands To gather
the rich harvest. Many could not Sc
cure field hands in some portions of Mis-
souri,, commensurate with the most ur-
gent demand. during the months ofJuly
and August. Shall this effort go on un-
rebuked? Appointment slayeholderfrom
one ofour northwestern counties, recent
" remarked, that Atchison's movements
in connection with Kansas Territory, had
already deprecated the price or real
value of the slaves in Missouri. He has
turned away trade from St. Louis and
Missouri river towns, of the greatest
Importance TO them, which can never be
regained while his followers rule on our
Western border. Emigrantsare now pass
ing north of us, WHO purchase their wag-
ons and teams and general supplies IN
Iowa, who would have secured their
chief supplies here; and greatly aug aug
mented the profits of steam boat capital
and labor, while they would have inereas-
ed the amount and value of business
dore in all the important towns border
ing on Kansas.
His movements are SO embittering the
feelings of our sister States, that the IN
security of slave property in all northern
and eastern couuties is rapidly on the
increase. Tradesmen, reai estate own
ers, and the holders ofsiavesin all Mis-
souri, are seriously injured By his mad
schemes. Is there no help for this =
Help we must have soon. or Missouri
will be sacrifice to the ambitious and
traitorous designs of debauched, worn
cut political demagegues.

Judge Douglas Speech.

Agreeably to previous announcement,
Judge Douglas addressed our citizens
last evening in front of the Drug Store of
VIM. A. Holton, Esq, on Third street.
He had very fair audience spoke
clearly and sufficiently loud to make
himself heard by those present.
We do not propose to review his
speech this morning, the late hour at
which he closed precluding that, but
only to touch few points, reserving a
more general view for tomorrow.
The speech contained much that we,
in common with every man present,
would heartily subscribe to. Itwas soph-
istical, argumentative, false in some of
its premises, and necessarily wrong in
the conclusion arrived at. He started
out by saying there were but two parties
in the country-the Nebraska party On
one side, and is opponents on the other !;
that the Nebraska party was the nation
al, constitutional party of the country,
and the opposite party was, of course,
opposed to the constitution, and directly
charged that any man of the opposite
party would violate his oath who would
swear to support that constitution. This
will be sad news to the anti-Nebraska
men, who compose the larger majority of
the people OF Illinois.
Popular sovereignty occupied a large
space, and its happy results dwelt upon
with great, good feeling. He took par
ticular pains to charge the opponents of
the Nebraska fraud with wishing to in
terfere with the institutions of the slave
States, and asked his hearers if they
wished to interfere with slavery in Ken
lucky, when he well knew that every
man who heard him was opposed to any
such interference. He did not depict
Its glories as exhibited in Kansas, nor
did he hold up the headless trunk of
Gov. Reeder as an illustration. He said
that the Nebraska party was national, all
others sectional that the Nebraska par
ty claimed that Territories as well as
States had the right to adopt or exclude
slavery as they pleased, construction
which the South never admitted. and
pronounced the vilest heresy and dis
union, and as they say tending directly
to deprive them of the right to hold their
slaves in all Territories, whatever may
be the sentiment of the people of those
Territories, until State constitution is
formed. Judge Douglas and the south
do not agree, but he says they all form
one great national party. and how he
will reconcile these differences, and out
of them make one great party, We shall
see. The right to establish slavery is
the only principle they contend for
All other issues appear to be lost sight

One by One.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive TO grasp them all.
One by one the duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first W hat these can teach.
One by one bright gifts from Heaven,)
Joys are sent thee here below,
Take them readily when given,
Ready to let them go.
One by one the griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band:
One viii fade as Others greet thee.
Shadows passing through the land.
Do net look at lifes long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain,
God viii help thee, for tomorrow
Every day begin again.
Every hour tha. fleets so slowly,
Has its task TO do or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting.
Or for passing hours despond /;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links. Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them. lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

And there in the prattie of childhood,
And plenty and peace, findrepose.
Broad prairies with herbage are waving,
To tell you how rich is their soil;

And take their warm thanks for your toll

In his, would We share without measure
Ye have but to delye for it there.

A character fair as the light,

And firm in maintaining the right;

To laws in which equity relgns,
Ye know how 10 do what is fitting,
Unaided by seourges or chains.

And ashes with ashes are blended
And earth again mingled with earth,
