the South Anglo Saxons occupy CanaoA'
men of IS fine physical development ana as
great personal energy as the mon Oh Nc"
England, and they have at their co'n"anu
,mmeuse capital and natural resources vas'
~ sunerior to those Of New England. Inc
true reason of the difference, and II mas peen
satisfactorily demonstrated, is, because .ho
latter has free intercourse with that sectlon
where those productions are raised upon
which fully one-half of the ex.sting con
merce and employment ,ftbe civilized word
depend, and because the greater portion OF
the natural wealth of that section IS drawn
into the possession of the North through tne
ooeration of federal laws and the progress
sive influence of capital.
This is the great and undeniable reason
why the North is superior in prosperity 70
the British Provinces in its neighbornooo.
The people of these provinces are practicaiiy
as free in all respects as those OF this hepuD'
lie, and possess every advantage for success
full competition with the Northern States ex-
ospt that great and decisive one which we
have indicated.
Yet it is in the North that we now see
movement to throw aw ay that advantage; II
ia there that we behold discomfort with that
Union which has proved such an overflow
ing and unfailing fountain of Northern wealth
and greatness. Should this movement be
successful, and the projected annexation OF
Canada to the Northern States follow, In
stead of compensation for the gem they
have cast away, the Northern States VIII
find themselves sinking to the retrograde
condition of the British Provinces, whilst
the South, with her cotton, naval stores, to-
bacco, rice, and abundant supplies OF food'
no longer weakened by the withdrawal OF
her wealth to another section, would become
the first power in wealth and greatness on the
American continent.
Disunion will bring evils to both sections
but to the North it will be ruin.

THE FIRST sPECK OF WAR.

1t appears that the Freesoilers in Kansas
are organizing military companies there,
under the pretext of self defence, but in
reality, no doubt, to get up an armed rebellion

SELLING WHITE MEN.

According tc leading Northern perlodl'
cal, in many of the free States, particularly
of New England, the poor are put up at auc-
ton, and sold to the highest bidder. The
journal in question, in reply to inquiries on
this subject received the following from an
eminent citizen:
TT IL the custom In many towns In Connecticut,
set sp the At .aItS1 sveuy the
man who will take them for year, at the Iowesl
price. This was the case. to my knowledge Ia eeve
asnsrsi thing In Connecticut. When We were in

all lodged in little one-story house with "a a' tn

gethe, male and female, with, as appeared 70 me
very litt'e regard TO decency In cse OF the destn
sum tor tn sir burial, and ALSO fhink, secured the
whols unt coDtracted for, for the year looeeo
l believe this probable death of some OF 10 en- was
q contingency calculated on in making ths oio 50
that the contractor had direct interest In starving
them to death. or 10 neglecting them when SICK.
Is not this slavery to all intents and pur
poses? Are not these men deprived of their
inherent rights?" The slavery of the South
is but the poor law system of other States
which compels able bodied paupers to work
for their own support. Without such COM
pulsion. the blacks, as is proved by the whole
| history of their race, would never labor, and
| the entire burden of their maintenance would
fall upon the white community. There is a
| vast difference, however, in the kind of pro-
vision which is made for their support from
that which the free States impose upon their
white slaves. If Southern negroes were
slowed to the number of sixty in a little one
story house, and fed with the heads and tails
of shad, they would have a fair specimen o
the extent of abolition philanthropy fol
slaves.
