Sheep I9,TI,s74 2i,728'22O IS
The increase of population during this decade
was more than IS per cent, exceeding that meat
cattle One-hslf, more than double that of swine,
and nearly treble that of sheep. 1t needs no deep
reading in political economy to be aware that in
proportion as the demand for an article exceeds the
supply, the price of that article will rise. Assu-
ming that horse flesh is not staple of our food,
and excluding the increase Of horses and mules the
average increase in other quadrupedal live stock
is II 2 per cent an uncomfortable fraction more
than half the per cantsge Of growth Of populs-
lation.
1t will be manifest also, upon reflection, to every
one to whom it is not already familiar, that in new
countries, not thckly settled and titled the amount
of live stock exceeds in an extraordinary proper
ton that in older lands, where the population is
dense and the original and natural fertility Of the
soil exhausted Taking, then, New England and
New York. Penusy lvanla, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia on the Oae hand, their live
stock has decreased, within ten years. nearly g.
100000 head, the aggregate being:
ls4O IS Decrease.
Horses and Mules. I,6l2S83 1,52sI89 1904
Neat Cattle 6,i58 3 60S8, Sai-,,-s9 rs
Sheep T87a,622 515o SIS a s5s $50
In the six States of Ohio, Indiana, Illisos,
Kentucky and Missouri, on the other hand, the
increase has been more than 500 900 head, the
aggregate being:
Horses and Mules, IrsO4O8 2,I6,l5O 8I2I6s
Neat Cattle 4,6O7,952 5,2S ,489 9S24Sl
SWINE 1l726,2O5 l3s45OA 2II6S82
Sheep, 5,l979O6 1855 8 8287S52
But even in these States neither the increase of
nor of swine has kept pace with that of Popula-
ton.
In the meanwhile, the expectation Of animal
products has more than trebled within the last
twenty years, the average export OF provisions
being in value as follows:
Period Of ls86-4O inclusive, $63,O5O,0OO
1s42-46 l. $4,000
1857 " l943 geo
.. 1926 256,679OOO
and we have thus the double process of dIulIn-
ishing production and increasing expectation,
which seems likely to experience no immediate
check
To recapitulate: the amount of live stock has
actually decreased in the Atlsntic States while
the number OF consumers has gone on steadily
sugmenting In the great producing States of
the West, its percentage Of increase has not been
half that Of the growth Of the population. The ex-
portstion Of provisions has tr55lsd within twenty
years.
The continual concentration Of people into cities
and their suburbs is also 10 be taken into cOnsd-
Grafton IS diminishing the sggre gate Of producers.
These facts we consider to afford satisfactory ex-

NEWCASTLE, Del Aug. "a, 1857.
At the close o. the camp-meeting FOR Greensboro
Circuit Caroline County, Nd held at Boonsboro, and
which closed a fiw days ago, there was witnessed
one of the groeest Pro-Slavery outrages which
has ever occurred 10 the State Of Maryland.
AT nany meeting Of this kind, it is usual at the
close OF camp meetings. for all members of the Church
Methodist EpisopaD to march around the ground,

been worshpsrs together in the tented grove for the

in the locality theater plan adopted by the Pru-

meeting.
The Rev. VIM 6Combs, the Presiding Elder, placed
himself at the had of the procession Of the colored
members Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which
was ade up of shves and free people OF color; when
mob Of thin fifty persons, led on by an ex-dis-
nifary of the county entered the circle ana came up
Immediately abreast the procession.

Der of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was applied
to, we learn for awrt in order to arrest the leader
Of the mob. This process was denied the Presiding
Elder ard he found TO bis chagrip and in contradic
tion of former repeated asseverahons in regard to
Mehodism in tie slavehoding territories of the
Philadelphia Annual Conference, that the Methodist
people were untrue to Anti Slavery Methodism. or at
least had not the courage to support their Church
official when the interest aud rights of the colored
people were in question.
We are not lovers of strife aud bloodshed, yet we
can only think Of the position of Mr. McCombs as one

regret that ZIG ht ond the prestige of powerful Church
