Slavery as a Geographical QuestiOn-InteE
eating Facts and Statistics.

We transfer to these columns q most interest
ing article from the st. Louis Intelkgencer, EN-
bracing copous extracts from late speech of B.
G. Brown in the Missouri Legislature, on "the
disappearance of slavery from Missouri The
facts, figures and argument Of the st. Louis legs
lator are adopted by the St. Louis editor, and
with these strong assurances, to Wit that slave
~ will soon cease to exist in Missouri" that "the
fat is irreveTsible;' that this institution will not
be abolished but that at will Disappear that
lit is going now;'' that "it is waning in Missouri,
and TO be waning is to be dead"
In support of these startling declarations the
speech Of Mr.. Brown furnishes all the neediu.
positive testimony of facts He shows that in over
one-fouIth OF the State OF Missouri within the
last five years slavery has positively decreased
while The incre ased white population has been
correspondiDgIy large in the same counties
Thus, in twenty five counties, since 1851, while
there has been an actual decrease in the 81 We
population of 442, there hiss been an increase n
the white population of 1877. Ia The ten couq-
ties adjacent 10 the free State Of Iowa there as
been slave increase of 23s, and an increase of
tire white population Of 81 ,691. Mr. Brown, speak.
ing TO the Missouri Assembly concerning Iowa ana
Missouri, says that "the Iowa line divides toe
two States as clearly and strikingy as the lucid
line of water which Distinguishes the turbid and
muddy torrents of the Missouri from the blue and
sparkling current Of the Mississippi a. the june.
zion Of those mighty rivers;' and that among
the most prominent facts in this distinction is
the relative price of land in the two States Gin
Iowa, land Of like soil and situation being fully
twice as high as in Missouri"
Hence the pressure Of the swelling waves of
tree white emigration into Missouri not withstand
| ing the drawback Of African slavery. Hence the
remarkable tenacity Of the free State cause
in Kansas The same causes, the same results,
the same curious facts are working out the geo
graphical solution Of the slavery question else
where, and will apply directly. more or less, TO
the other border slave States of Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, Delaware aud Maryland Free white
labor is gradually invading those States from the
North, and slavery is steadily receding before IT,
The results are not so eyiden. in the reduction OF
the slave population, here and there, as in the
vastly superior general increase Of the free white
population. Take, for examples, the folio siog
census returns OF the increase from $40 to 1850
of the whites and slaves, respectively in the Dor
der slave States aforesaid, TO witt
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1857-03-03

Here ii will be seen that, even upon the new
and fertile soil and comparatively fine climlte of
Kentucky, while the slave population on the last
census decade increased only about eleven per
cent, the Increase Of the white population was
nearly twenty five per cent that in the SANE
period the white increase In Virgins was over
twenty per cent, and the slave increase less than
five per cent; that in Maryland, from 1910 to
1850, the slave population was a. stand still,
and that In Delaware there was positive de-
crease to the extent Of nearly one-eighth Of the
slave population of 1910. PROFESSIONALLY the
census of 1850 will give Us results decisive Of the
question in all the aforesaid States within the
next succeeding ten years, if not sooner.
The reasons for this sweeping conclusion are at
hand Comparatively, our Northern States are
full Of people, and the scanty margin remaining
Of the unoccupied lands Of the great West
or Northwest, will in a few years more
be peopled. Then the tide Of our Western
bound Thousands and hundreds Of thousands
from Europe, from New England, New York New
Jersey Pennsylvania. Ohio, &c, will recoil and
overflow the waste places in the border slave
States, where the Shareholders, finding their lands
more profitable in the market than slaves or slave
labor, will cell out their estates for cash aud
move of with their niggers further South, Gov
crnor Wise and bis nigeers among the rest
Thus, while Congress is stultifying i,sclf from
session to session between the question of it,
jurisdiction over the Territories and the question
ofsquatter sovereignty-tbus, while the North and
the South are kept by noisy demagogues of both
sections in state Of agitation excitement aud
onmity bordering upon secession and disuuion
thus are the natural laws Of slavery, Of slave
labor and free white labor, working on, their own
solution. The geographical laws of race, climate,
soil and products are, meantime, most 20 xerfully
assisted by European immigration aud the rapid
natural increase Of cur Northern white inhabi-
tsnts. Under this continuation of free soil innu-
ences the Kansas border Iuffiaus may hang every

this last Nicaragua movement and have con-
stantly held it up to our readers in its true light
as stockjobbing scheme for operations in Wall
street. The plan now on foot is q new
speculation in the same fertile field. Two
schemes have preceded it, and both
have proved abundantly profitable to the
managers First came the old Nicara-
qua Transit grant, upon which company
was got up and the stock sold in the market,
while somebody other than the stockholders
pocketed the proceeds. The government of Mica
ragua finding itself cheated out of the stipulated
share of the profits, was in doubt what to do un-
til the advent of Walker, who seized the boats
and sold them to new concern. The grand
struggle then commenced here, and the fight has
been carried on between the Commodores until the
new concern is frightened and Walker seemingly
in desperate straits At this juncture Webster
and Anderson appear here with joint powers from
Costa RIGA and the Rivas government of Nicara-
qua to sell d new grant Of the Transit route.
This is to be made the basis Of another stock gam
bling arrangement, either in the shape of new
company or galvanzing of the old one, the
shares of which have been bought up at nomi-
nal figure. So look out for another Nicaragua
bubble as soon as Walker is defeated. If luck
should turn in his favor, however, as the chances
Of war are always precarious, and the last &C
counts from Nicaragua show that he is not en-
tirely whipped, we shall have more new combi-
nations and schemes Let the Costa Rican agents
remember the old nigger's aphorism, "White
man very uncertain"

nuldphea The seaboard States Of Mexico, the
Central American States and the West India
islands constitute the proper fields for the extern
zion of African slavery. Jamaica and Hayti, as
slave colonies, and Hayti and Jamaica as free
black settlements, have solved the problem there
for African slavery in behalf of both races and in
behalf of humanity, Christianity and commerce.
These views are not designed, however, to
bolster up the Southern fire eaters and their
Utepian scheme of grand slaveh0lding
Southern confederacy, "based upon military
principles" and outside of the existing American
Union. Slavery may disappear from the present
border slave States before either Cuba or Mexico
is annexed but Southern secession does not fol-
low as a necessary consequence. There will still
be found among the people wisdom, moderation
and Cancellation enough to secure the constitu-
tonal rights of the slave States against all often
sive antislavery aggressioas. But, be the final
consequences what they may, it behooves our
noisy politicians upon State rights, Congressional
sovereignty and squatter sovereignty, to consult
he practical working out of this geographical
solution of the slavery question.

working young men will read The tax book and
wonder when they will figure among the great

bugging the Assessors mammas will
make pencil checks against the names of the
available young men-ethereal bellies will calm
their 1utteriDg bosoms, and reserve the answer
to the momentous question until they have had
a glance at the great book-people who have no
money will look over it and growl at those who
have some-people who have little will be un
able to see why they should not have greatdeal
more--people who have great deal will pray
for long life, that they may increase their pos
sessions and still che at the Assessors. In fact the
tax book is, as the reviewers (advertisemen,
columns) say, "a work Of the most profound
and wide spread interest, and one which will re-
commend itself to the earnest attention Of al
classes"
Whether the abuses which it discloses viii
ever be remedied, we cannot venture to say
Certain it is that if the personal and real pro
perties of the residents and nonresidents of thii
city were fairly taxed, the burden would be dimi
nished by one half But the tax book, inconl
plete as it is, is great work. There should b.
an edition de hxs for every boudoir in the Fifu
avenue.
