AGRICULTURE NORTH AND SOUTH

There is general disposition to concede that
the South is, at any rate. ahead of the North in
agricultural productions, however inferior III
other industrial pursuits. The fact that the great
staples Of the South are FOR the most part ez-
pOrted, and as consequence make a large figure
in the list of commercial exchanges with foreign
nations is regarded as conclusive evidence of the
immense agricultural wealth ST the slave-holding
States; and improving on this popular notion,
Mr.. Calhoun set the fashion Of speaking Of the
southern as the producing States, in contradis-
tincton from those of the North, which be desig.
mated the consuming States. This politico-
economical iargon had its day, and deluded many
into the belief that cotton is the only agricultural
product of the Union which merits the attention
Of government, and upon which the salvation of
the country must depend.
But the census Of 1850, though imperfect in its
plan and execution, and particularly in the man
ner in which it has been compiled for publication.
furnishes abundant evidence that the assumed
superiority of Southern agricultural products is
without the slightest foundation. We have been
at considerable pains to ascertain and put in con
trast with each other the productions, respectively
of the free and slave States; task which is rem
derod doubly difficult by the evident design OF
the compilers Of the census to prevent such con
trasts. Every man of reflection, North and
South, is anxious to know the relative population
wealth, and other advantages of the slave as
compared with the free States. This lis the first
object which presents itself to the minds of
statesmen and people and has more to do with
the politics and policy Of the country and Coy
ernment than any other which the Census furnish
es. Yet this is the very thing which the com.
pliers Of the Census have studously kept out of
sight. In making up long columns and tables OF
population and wealth, there is always confused
iumbng of free with slave States, with the evi-
dent design of battling inddry, and repelling in
ycstigaon into the relative strength and re-
sources of the North and South. This will al
ways be the case while Slavery rules in Washing
ton. The South must be hattered and the can
Ger which is eating out her vitnls must ~! lie ex
posed to the vulgar gaze by lifting the veil which
covers the deformity. But, as We remarked
above, we have done what the Superintendent OF
tie Census would have done--if his interests in
the mantanance of Slavery had not been a
stronger motive than the desire of presenting Il
satisfactory view Of the condition of the country
we have eliminated the agricultural statistics
Respectively cf the free and slave States, from the
general mass, and placed them in juxtaposition
as follows:

JOSIAH QUINCY ON DOUGHFACEs.

To every wel-wisher to the cause of freedom in
this country, who has watched the progress Of the
slave power during the present century to the pas
sage Of tho Fusitive Slave Act,and the subsequent
crowning act of the present year, the Nebraska
and Kansas bill, the public expression Of scnti-
ment on the subject by such the Hon.
Josiah Quincy is quite refreshinss The following
graphic eEistle from that gentleman was received
some months since, in reply to an individual of
kindred feeling in this city, on the subject of Sa-
very, and his then recent address at Faneuil
Hall.
SIR: presume that transmitted to you at that
time, n cepy of the eXertion which was the Occa-
sion of your correspondence; or | would transmit
you another for printed enough to satisfy every
congenlal appetite.
have no belief that this or any ather excrton
of more powerful minds can be etfectual to rouse
the free States to a sense of their duty to their
country and to the cause of humanity. The slave
holder commands the purse of the nation and has
what is of greater influence the distribution OF
power and place. and promotion. The needy, the
avaricous the vain, the ambitious and the unprin-
cipled are always in the public market. The temp
taton to which Webster, with all his unqucstion-
able intellectual greatness, could not resist, must
be overwhelming to the multitude of inferior
minds who know little of the past, and care moth
ing for the future, and regard only the present
The timldity incident to the spirit of commerce in
the North is the ally and constitutes the strength
of the institutions of the south. Trembling the
Shareholders do at the idea of disunion, they have
had the address to make the Nort believe they arr
ready and desirous Of it, at the same time that ev
cry intelligent owner of slave knows, in his soul
that the arm of the Union wit hdrawn will be The
signal for the final destruction of the peculiar in
