Hancock and Ohio counties are not a
fourth part as large as Greenville and
Southampton, and yet their lands are set
down in the census at more than twice the
value of the lands in these two slave coun-
ties. An acre is worth ten times as much
in Hancock as in Southampton, The
Southampton and Greenville lands are valu-
ed at less than three dollars an acre: the
Hancock and Ohio lands at nearly thirty
dollars. Yet the two slave connties are
crossed by railroads, are convenient to tide
water, have been longer settled than the
free counties, and in almost every other re-
spect have the advantage over them

Free and Slave Labor.

If any one wants to know what is the
difference, take the following statistics
furnished by the New York Post, from the
State of Virginia:
1t is now plain for what reason land is
worth more on the right bank of the Ohio
river than on the left; in Indiana than in
Kentucky; in the young State of Iowa
than in the elder State of Missouri; in PEN
nsylvania than in Virginia. But some of
the most remarkable illustrations of the
truth we are endeavoring to illustrate are
to be found without going out of Virginia
for comparisons.
Take the counties of Greenville and
Southampton, which lie in the southern
part of Virginia, the portion most favored
by nature-fertile, healthy, and cempara-
lively level-and compare them with the
counties Of Ohio and Hancock, in the mar
row tract of the northwestern part of the
State, which lies along the river between
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Greenville and
Southampton are slave counties; Ohio and
Hancock are, ON account of their border
position, practically free, and cultivated by
Mhite labor. We give here certain sta
tistics furnished by the last census, show
ing what is the number of whites and of
slaves in each, the number of acres, and
the value at which the land in each is es-
timated: e

grant snail De llDerally or Strlctly construed,
has, more or less, divided political parties
from the beginning. Without entering in
TO the argument, | desire to state at the
commencement ofmy administration, that
long experience and observation have con-
vinced me that strict construction of the
powers of the Government is the only true
as well as the only safe theory of the Con-
stitution. Whenever, in our past history,
doubtful powers have been exercised by
Congress- they. have never failed to produce
injurious and unhappy consequences
Many instances might add if this were the
proper occasion. Neither is it necessary
for the public service to strain the language
of the Constitution, because all the great
and useful powers required for a successful
administration of the Government, both In
peace and in war, have been granted either
in express terms or by the plainest impli-
cation. While deeply convinced of these
truths, yet consider it clear that under
the war-making power Congress may ap-
propriate money toward the obstruction OF
a military road when this is absolutely nee
essary for the defence of any State or Ter
ritorv of the Union the Constitution Con-
gress has power to declare war, to raise
and support armies, to provide and sup
port armies, to provide and maintain a
navy, and to call forth the militia to repel
invasion. Thus endowed in an ample man
ner with the war-making power, the cores
nonding duty is required that the United
States shall protect each of them (the
States) against invasion. How is it posi-
BILE to afford this protection to California
and our Pacific possessions except by
means of military road through the Ter
rtory of the United States, over which
