sIavery COMPARED with Freedom.

A writer, in the Kan.::s Tribune i. doing
good work for the rejecting pcrIlon OF 'ne emil
grants, by contrasting the wealth, &c, Z! lh'
Slave, with the free States. We give few I.
his facts and figures.
The fifteen free Stats containing 29o $780,
100 acres ofland Ihe fifteen Slave States
contain 594. .499, 100 acres, being an excess in
favor of the Slave States OF 3O3,7l2 600
acres.
have 81 69S. $40 acres Of improved land Thi.
is valued at S2 las, ,347.4'7.
In the Slave States, there are 54.970, ,627
acres of improved land, valued at 81, ~ 457.
649
In the free States, the value Of agricultural
implements returned at Sos, 735, 758. In the
Slave States the value is 500 285 625
The aggregate value Of improved land in the
free States is a fraction over ihir y-seven dol
lars per acre while in the Slave States. il is
only twenty dollars per acre. Why is this?-
IL is because the climate is mllder. or the soil
richer? All these advantages are largely with
the South. and yet Northern improved lands
average almost twice the value OF the lands Of
the South.
The Ktuzas writer compares New York with
North Carolina, aud the result is as follows
Improved lands in Nav York, l2 4O8 964
acres. valued at 554 546 642 Improved lands
in North Garolina, s, ,453 975 acres. valu ,S67.-
SO |, 1856 In Pennslyv mia the improved lands
are valued at S4O7. .876 099, while the same in
Virginia are vaued at S2l6 40l 543. The
contrast is still more marked between Kentucky
and Ohio.
The writer concludes his able article as fol-
lows:
