If il has failed to do 30, the susn difference that
car exist is no set-of against the extraordinary IN
crease in the value Of land that has been shown.
These facts prove conclusvely that France is IN
creasng in wealth at q rate twice more rapid than
that Of England, and wealth is power. The causes
Of the difference are, az We think TO be found 10
this: England hss been gradually consolidating her
land, and expelliRg ANAL propresors, whose places
are now filed BY dsy.Aborers, whose condition IL
universally described az being very wretched one
France On the contrary hss been dividing her land,
and adding 70 the number Of men who own the soii
they cultivate. The different effects Of these two
systems are fully established in the returns now be-
fore us-proyiDg that while large proprissors
have increased in their money value but
third or fcuIth me smaller os,s hare been quad
rupld ard quintspLd in b,ir mOHeg raias. England
has been changing her propr tors into hreOg slaves,
While France has been creating free proprietors.
Such men 81 Ireland produced now no longer

starved, and then transrorted-tO make room for
sheep. Hence i. is that when France calls for
soldiers she obtains the men who storm the Maa-
koff while England in return to similar call,
obtains those who fail before the Redan.
England now resps the bitter fruits of mistaken
policy. Seeking to compel all other nations to limit
themselves to the cultivation OF the earth, she de-
stroys her own agriculture, and expels the people
who once gave value to her land. Her people are
driven to the factory and the workshop, there to
underworld the poor liiudOo, they are forced to
seek "a precarous existence by means OF trade.
France, on the contrary, pursues apolicy BY help
Of which mines are opened and factories are
built, thus bringing the market home to her
farmers, giving value TO her land, and creating
men fitted for service in the field or in the
workshop; for stOrming Sevastopol, or uniting
with their tllOw-men n the peaceful pursuits of an
agriculture that improves from hour to hour and
from day to day. Such are the results Of the thirty
wears from 1921 10 1851. What are 10 BE- those of
the thirty that Will close in lSel The answer to
u, is clear: France is TO take ard hold the lead of
Europe and the power Of England i, to pass away.

We noticed yesterday, a, one OF the main
points Of difference between the rival tariff protests
Of Messrs. Campbell and Letcher, that while Mr..
Campbell adds to the free list upward Of two hun-
dred articles, Mr. Letcher retains the duties on s
large number Of articles which cost the Treasury
more in collection than they yield it IN revenue.
How this particular difference in the two projects
originates, il is easy TO see. TIE adoption Of Mr..
CsDpbelrs pan woald make great saving to the
Custom House in The cost Of measuring, weighing
appra;spg, bookkeeping, &C., thus enabling the
business to be transacted by much smaller num-
Der Of persons But, so far from being ary recon
mediation to the party which Mr. Letcher and his
project represents, this, in their eyes, Is most
decided objection. Had Fremont happened to be
elected, they might have looked at the matter in q
different light. As il is, Mr. Letcher and bis pOlit-
ical friends are much more anxons 20 increase than
TO diminish the number of the Custom-House em-
ployees ThOse articles upon which the duty is
collected at an expense exceeding the return, are
the very articles Ct all others with which they are
least disposed to NEEDLE Whatever other Of Mr.
CampbelIs suggestions Congress may be inclined
to adopt this of increasing the free list, however
plausible and reasonable, stands, we suspect, out 8
very slim chance.

On Monday ever log Las. a member Of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this city, 81 meet
ing Of that body, offered resolutions declaring
Slavery to be sin against God, and a sin Of such
a character and such relations to the American
pt ope TO make it the duty of every organic alton
of Anne rican Christians to bear testimony against
il. The passage Of the resolutions was opposed
not on the ground that Slavery is not sin, but
that il is not sn for which the Christians Of New
York sre directly responsible. This, it seems to
u.s. is hardly good reason against the resolutions.
Certainly il is proper for an individual Christian 70
utter his adherence Of any sntiChristian practice
or institution, even though it may not flourish IN
his immediate vicinity; and it would seem to be
equally proper for an association of Christians to
90 the same. Especially is this the case where the
influence of opinion, and above all of religious
opinion, is so strong and the need so crying as
with regard to Slavery in this country Wewould
suggest, then, to those members of the Young
Mems Association who have hitherto resisted the
adoption of the resolutions in question, that it
might perhaps be better to allow them to pass. Ii
is by no means clear that opposition to so simple an
expression of sentiment on such a subject can con-
Juce TO the usefulness Of their society. If the
resolutions bore anything of political or secular
character, such opposition might be justified; but
as they are confined to declaration Of Christian
feeling and Christian duty, We hardly see why they
should not be adopted a. the meeting of the Asso-
citation this evening.
