The Times North and South.

matters in th3 North generally and
the South generally is well stated
by Fremont aptr twill be seen
now by the light Of experience, that
the South is in a better condition, is
more prosp. rous and far more solvent
than the North that while in the
litter all is wild speculation and con-
seqaent disaster, in the former is sta
biliiy. sure progress and undoubted
material wealth. il abundance:
ave have only to draw th. line CT
latitude between the North and the
South to limit the boundaries of this
collapse in public and private credit,
and in drawing this line the real cause
must more clearly appear While the
North and West have been neglecting
the most important industrial pull
snits to engage III speculation, the
South have colfined their capital and
their attention solely to the produc-
lion Of their great staples. The North
has been engaged in specializing in
land, while the South have been en-
glged in cultivating the land. While
we were pursuing the shadow, the
other was securing the substance, and
We see in the comparative condition
of each the result of the efforts Of
each.
"Whiie the North and the West
srt laboriug under all the dangers and
difficulties of financial reyulsion,
where fortunesfade away in day or so,
The South is in the midst of prosperity
and plenty, free from debt, and there
fore free from danger. The political
demagogues Of the North have for
years heen directing emigration to
certain sections of the The North
West. In their zeal to make Kansas
free, and TO create speculatiens in
public lands, they have aroused a feel.
ing Of fanaticism on the subject Of
slavery which has created perfect
exodus from New England to Kansas
and Nebraska. Thousands have To-
Gated themselves in sections of the
West where there was not food en-
ough to sustain them, and have eX-
Oh lnged abundance for want.
THE most rank and rabid anti
slavery leaders of the North have
been the widest spectators in the
Western lands, and have been the
cause of the ruin and Indebtedness
that have overtaken SO many. These
political hucksters have used the
principles Of aati-slavery to attract
PURCHASERS for their lands. A retri-I
button has at last over!aken them
While violence and bloodshed have
marked their course, and ruin overta-
ken the victims of their faith, the
SECTION of country they ayoided--the
South : has been free from political
agitation, from violence, from want,
and from al Of those evils which are
are sure to follow an inflated credit
system, based upon wild speculatioBs
and departure from all industrial
pursuits. The condition Of the North,
compared with that Of the South, can,
therefor be pointed to,at this moment,
as an illustration ofthe danger attend
ing such extravagant speculation upon
such weak foundations, such insane
expenditures of capital without the
possibility Of adequate returns.
