Shareholders and Non-slaveholders in
the Slave States.


The following passage in the very able
address of the late Republican conven-
tioa, held in this City, to their fellow
citizens. has excited great surprise-and
wehave heard it dsncuuced bitterly as a
tissue of lies:
There is not State In the Union IN
which the Shareholders number one-tenth
part of the free white population-nor
a<the aggregate do they number one
fitch part ofthe white population OF the
United States
There seems to have been an impres.
sion among very many of our people thai
every second or third man in the slave
States owned, at least, one '.nigger. y
Some few of our people were aware thai
there was in the South class of white
citizens, tolerated, to be sure, by ths
slavocracy. as kind of convenience, Blu
treated with very little respect, and scorn
ed by the slaves, who spoke of them a
"poor white folks" but the notion tina

so numerous never entered tie head o
The larger portion of our people. w
have thought, therefore, that some in
formation ON the subject might be use

of 1850, arranged by Mr.. De Brow,
Southern man, furnishes full accoun
Iof the whole matter.

number of Shareholders in six of the prin

Here itappears that South Carolina has
the largest proportion of shareholders to
total free white population, and yet it is
less than one-tenth, and but little more
than one eleventh. In all the slave States
the shareholders are 347, ,625, and the to-
tai free white population in the same states
is 6,222, Also that the shareholders
are only little more than an eighteenth
of the total white population in the slave
States.
In the whole Union there were, in so,
19,553,O68 white people-being con-
siderably more than fifty whites to every
STAKEHOLDER; and yet this handful of
Shareholders have ruled the country for
many years. They have had slayehold
ing Presidents for forty eight years,
against twenty years of the free States;
they have had the chief justice for sixty
years, and a large majority of the foreign
ministers and of the members of the
cabinet. While no man who dares to
whisper aught in disparagement of slave
ry can hope for any favor at the hands of
the government-styled "Nationall'' but
which is in reality mere instrument in
the hands of those intolerant oliarchy.
How does it happen to WELD such great
power? Three circumstances contribute
Jointly to this result The three hundred
and odd thousand shareholders are uuaed
as one man in whatever concerns ''the
peculiar institutions" The moment any
movement takes place, which seems in
the slightest degree to threaten that in
stitution, all other questions are at once
forgotten, and the shareholders combine
as tho they were but one man, and but
one mind. The other two circumstsn-
ces which concur in giving aid to the in
fiuence of the slave power are: first-the
ignorance and helplessness of the nearly
six millions of non-slaveholders of the
slave states; and second-the base seryil-
ity of large portion of the politicians Of
the free States.
AS to the first, it is only necessary to
say that in the four slave States, Virgin
la, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Louisiana. with apopulation of ,978, 900
free white persons, there are 1873, 900
free whites over twenty one years of age
who can neither write nor read; while in
Pennsylvania, the most benighted and
seryile of the free States, with free
white population of 1,955,000, there are
but $1,000 over twcnty-one years old
who can neither write nor read; and in
the six New England States, with free
white population of 2,7O6, 900, there are
but 81, 900 over twenty one years of age
who can neither write nor read.
Thus, in the slave States above named,
rather more than one IN every eleven can
neither write nor read. In New England
only one in every fifty three, and even in
benighted Pennsylvania there is only one
in eserv twenty whine who cannot read OF
write. So that the slave State has nearly
three times as much ignorance, and, il
ignorance is bliss, five times as much
bliss as benighted Pennsylvania; and
more than five times as much as New
Egland. So far as ignorance is conve-
nient tool in the hands of the slayeocracy,
there is an abundance in the slave States.
