The IT, 5. census of 1850 shows the average of
wealth per head is greater at the South than at the
North. South Carolina and Louisiana show the
argest average of any States in the Union TO popu
alton. And according to population it is greater
Kentucky than in Ohio.
The destruction of the South would be the over
throw Of the strongest conservative element in the
national government SO that the unthinking multi
titude, misguided by fanaticism as they are, in
working for the overthrow Of the South and with IL
the Union, are only working for their own ultimate
enslavement, and Of those to come after them In
seeking not TO improve but to ruin the negro under
abstract htmbugs OF equality and fraternity (ot
blacks and whites), they are only striving 60 en-
slave The whites ia the blind crusade in favor Of the
negro. Hence the old adage OF whom the gods
wish to overthrow they first make mad' II let alone
tine will settle the whole question. At the well
knosn ratio Of increase by the end of this century
we shall have one hundred millions OF whites against
some fifteen or twenty millions OF blacks. by that
time the acclimaed whites will be compelled to
seek the labor now performed by blacks, when the
latter will gradually perish, disappear, as they
have done in New York and other places. We're
they feed tomorrow, their ex.ermination would
only be accelerated, and TO the incaculable injury
Of the whites
TO PRODUCE TIE UNIxAMPLED PROSPERITY OF
EI3HTY YEARS UNDER OUR PRESENT CONSTITUTION
AND UNION, ALL PANTS OF THE COUNTRY, LIKE A
RASD OF BROTHERS, HAVE MOLLY Contributed
TIE NoE1H AS WELL AS THE SOUTH, THIS wEsr As
WILL As TUE EAST.
1.-THE cultivation OF cotton at the South has put
the country one hundred years in advance, COM
merciallv and financially, Of what it would have
been without II, New England has been the means
Of putting the country vastly in advance Gin
education 10 what il would otherwise have been.
The example Of her free schools has now be.
come almost universal over the Union. The enter
prise OF the North 10 internal improvements has
been the means of giving vast impulse to the
same spirit in every part OF the country. The
full inventions IN arts and sciences of the North have
been of great national advantage, and especially 70
the South. Fer great men have belonged as much
to the South as 10 the North. The victories of Hall
and OF Perry were matters OF rs much JOY to the
les Of Franklin, of Whitney, Of Fulton. or of a
Morse are az much admired and boosted OF at the
sou.h as al the North; not because they were Sec
tional but because they we're American. The tri-
nmpb Of Northern built steamers and packets,
with the triumphs OF the Grinne exploring exped
tions, to which they contributed to fit out,
tiers of pride and boast the South well to the
North, because they belong to America. Like bro
Tiers under Washington, arm in arm they went
through the Revolution for Independence. Like
kindred patriots, they went through the war OF
1872, and rejoced together over victories won on
the fields OF Saratoga. Lundy's Lane, New Or
leans, end in Mexico. But, oh heavens what do
we now witness Brethren of one country, OF
race, and Of destiny, engaged in bloodshed and
civil war And for what? About a mere abstract
idea relative to negroes Is it thus and for such
insane fanatcism that the descendants Of the Han
cocks, Shermans, Henrys, Greens and Lees must
plunge daggers into each others bosoms? God for
bid Far better and more glorious would it have
been for them to have fallen before the enemy on
the plains of Chippewa, at the breastworks OF New
Orleans, or in storming the heights of Chepultepec.
By stabbing each other in this insane con-
fict in Kansas, are stabbng the constitution and
Union of our common country, the peace Of our own
resides and the progress Of human liberty under the
yoke Of despotc governments throughout the world.
Shall We pause or plunge over the precipice?
Let others do as they may. My creed now and
forever, shall be pro-constitution and pro-Union.
