This immense sum is exclusive Of naval stores
slaves, lumber, flour and grain.
During the same peri ID the whole amount of
breadstufs exported (part supplied by the south)
was only $3.50 s99,52j
THE EXPORTS OF THE SOUTH HAVE ADDED TO mt
NATIONAL DEFGNcE OF THE COUNTRY.
The 1000 to 5000 ships employed in the transpor-
tation of bulky Southern products necessarily az
ford school for the rearing and training OF vast
number of Sailors who are absolutely necessary to
man, our vessels Of war, and especially in tine OF
foreign hostlties. Assuming the number Of ships
required for the ranspora ton of one years yield OF
Southern produce, 10 be $500, and the average
number OF sailors and officers to man them to be Is
each we shall find that these ships annually employ
marine force Of 62 500 seamen.
When our government was applied to by foreign
governments to know il we would abolish priva-
teering, the proposal was de clined, because those
1000 5000 cotton ships, in time of war could be
readily enlisted formi liable fleet of prvateers-
men, and add greatly 20 our national defence. In
this point Of view the transportation OF Southern
products is greatly more important to our shipping
interest than the conveyance of gold "a freight.
One two large vessels coud transport all the gold
that has been. probably will be, shipped by
all the gold fields OF California OF Australia.
WEAKNESS At the NORTH From ELEMENTS OF Az.

The tendency to the accumulation OF wealth on
one hand at the North, and tae progress in povery
and pauperism on the other, are every year on the
increase, and drawing broader gulf between the
two extremes. There is as wide and amos; IS i'm.
passable gulf between the crowded and squallid
tenants Of the Five Points, Cow Bay and avenue A
and Fifth avenue, az there Is between Saffron Hill
and b Giles, in London, and the purlieus Of Apsley

ism in New York Of late years, tnit
Mr.. Headey, the Secretary OF State, in
his late report stated that the paupers supported
at the public expense were equal to one in seven
teen, or IN other words, every seventeen persons
have 10 support pauper and he says that, shou
pauperism 90 on increasing ut the same ratio, that
10 fifteen years hence every I've persons will have
TO support one pauper.
These paupcrs all possess the right OF suffrage and
can vote or egisate over the property Of those Ut
whose expense they are supported.
Paupcrs get TO believe that they have right TO
be supported by the property Of producers aad they
will claim their share by voting for demsgogues or
by violence. In an issue of this kind those who have
property had rather share 1t with military msn or
limited monarch for protection than TO divide 1t
with paupers and anarchists, who can only d.spoit
them and leave them without protection. At
the South, the anarchical element is supplies
by the blacks, who possess no political
power of voting, and aspire 20 no political in'iu-
ence. Hence, pauperisn is almost unknown In the
planting ree ions Of the South and such thing
poor house Because let crops lie destroyed,
barns burnt. things go they may, the owner Of
slaves il compelled 10 feed and clCthe his slaves;
and II he cannot do 80 he Ia compelled to transfer
them by sale, or hiie them to those who can. On
the contrary II the manufacturers of the North
pinched by bard tines or have their factories burnt
they can at any moment turn of 500 or | 900
healthy and able operatives, whose labor contributes
TO support the aged, infrm. sick and feeble women
and children, who must then live by the charity Of
tho public, or starve. Every year sordid capitalists
are adding 10 the pauper population OF the North,
and compelling those who never shared in the pro.
fits OF operative labor to contribute to their sup.
port. Tie anarchical elements Of New York pre-
vail in the same ratio In Philadelphia and Boston,
ard will spread and augment IS population and
wealth nj the North are augmented.
The South at all times, has been the most demo-
cratic and most conservative part of the Union. The
frat development OF the ansrchca element at the
North III seen in the corruption and extravaganza
Of its legislation This element Is most developed
in New York whose city expenditures show that the
agents OF the people the anarchica side have made
fee use OF the public money. This feeling Of ex.
travsgtnce has been carried by the North into Con-
eress as well into their Legislatures The South
on the contrary, have held back both AZ Washington
