torrow, at four and three-ff.hs per cent, az many
millions "a il chooses to squander; that the failures
Of the last and tie present years amount To ha'-
dreds Of milons; that the export OF gold was
seventy mrious, and the depreciation OF home
values and the loss Of associated industry through
such q dersngemebt as forced the export of gold
amounted TO probably two thousand millions 10 one
single year; that New-York is distinguished ss
commercial city BY having hardly q ship building,
ard By having sold slmost her last steamer-sae
French Government being able to buy the Collins
steamers. which our own is not able to keep; that
there /, hardly new house building here, such IS
ale in progress having been undertaken before the
cri,is; and that the prospect is absolutely worse
now than Il WAS at the crisis while Of the sgrl
cultural products Of the country, wheat potatoes
and cattle are lees in amount than they were fifteen
years ago, though the export Of wheat has quad
rupled.
Going to Philadelphia, Mr.. Everett could
hear and see nothing Of the Losses of industry
there-nothiDg Of the destruction Of the iron aud
coal interests. Goiog to Washington, be could see
nothing but "Buncombe" in the empty Senatorial
seat of Charles Sumner, for particulars Of which
see South Carolina history passim. Nothing but
"Buncombe" in the fact that about four millions
of men, women and children are sold Like hogs ana
scourged like ssses-are ashed, hunted by blood
hounds, burned at the stake, and ground In bond
sge by the most cruel code ever devised BY man.
Nothing but "Buncombe' in the fact that State
after State being surely destroyed BY Slavery, tue
earth being ruined with rapidity unknown to pr'-
vious history-Texas already showing signs OF
senility after the example of Alabama, which In
turn succeeds to the agricultural wastes OF the
Csrolinas and Virginia. Nothing but 'Buncombe"
in the total ignorance of the principles of political
economy which prevails in the South, and which
controls the North, consigning her to periodical
bankruptcy. Nothing but "Buncombe' 10 the fact
that the owner of one thousand slaves has the
votes of nearly as many freemen, by which
they are despeied of their rights and forced
to submit to the negro-driviDg oligarchy. Nothing
but "Buncombe" in the reputation of certain
saye-drivng States, BY which they stand confess
edy dishonored before the world. Nothing but
"Buncombe' in the loss of national reputation
abroad, the American name being now suuken from
it's former high estate Nothing but "Buncombe'
in "the poor white trash" of the South, 100000 of
whom in the State of Virginia alone, are unable to
read or write. Nothing but "Buncombe" that in
fourteen Of the States there is no more liberty Of
the press than in Russia. Nothing but Bun.
"combe' that during the last Presidential
Canvass freemen were driven from the South
ern portion of our blessed country for
daring to utter Republican sentiments. Moth
ing but "Buncombe' ia the decisions OF the
highest tribunal, by which the slave-driver and
slave hunter can introduce his victim into the Free
States. Nothing but "Buncombe" in the Kansas
butcberies and atrocities which, even according to
Mr.. Bolts of Virginia, arc almost unparalleled in
the history of civilized country. But enough.
Mr.. Everett was compensated BY the tremendous
"cheerng" which followed bis sentiment-cheering
by the officials of the Custom. House and Post
Office, every one of whom holds his place by an
absolute subserviency to the reigning power.
