AS between the slaveholding and n-slavehold-
ing States the division will stand 76 to the former
and l65 to the latter-a majority of more than two
to one.
But with this allotment of power the sectional
contest will no longer be between the North and
South, nor upon question like that of slavery
1t must rise between the East and West, upon
questions of internal improvements, land dstribu-
ton, tariff, &c.
In such contest it is not unlikely that New En-
gland despite of the adv antage it is destined to
enjoy, under the Constitution, in its territorial
representation, will be compelled to join hands with
the South, and seek its aid in defence of its section
al rights.
The census of 1870 will develop new power in
the confederacy, which will claim ascendancy-the
and their tributary territories.
A geologist would divide the States into those
which lie on the Atlantic those on the Gulf, those
on the basin of the lakes those in the valley of the
Mississippi, and those on the Pacific slope. Com
merce and its associations will contribute always to
group thus together the populations of these great
sections.-AlLany Argus.

TRADE WITH THE NORTHwEST.-A letter from Chi
cago published in the Philadelphia North American,
says:
The fact is that, after ALL the west and northwest
are the great purchasers and consumers of goods.
They are more extravagant and use up more of some
OF the great staple manufactures-say wOolens,
cotton and hardware-and there cannot be re-
viva of trade at the east to any great extent until
they are again able to buy literally, and pay for
their purchases promptly.
am sorry to say that so far northern Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota are considered
more especially the two latter-this longed for
state of things cannot be, until we have had good
crop, and not full restoration until after we have
had two good crops. We have been hardly dealt
with, the past twelve months-our crops of wheat
and oats nearly destroyed by the wet weather of
the past summer; and this fall, the trade for the
season-what little there was expected-almost
ruined by two months of continued rain and mud.
l have been in this city sixteen years, and COM
paratively speaking, have never known it miser-
ably dull as during the past six months. There are
some branches of trade that absolutely dead,
for the time. There is one thing pretty certain,
however, that through economy, retrenchment and
REFORM the odds and ends are getting pretty well
used up, and so soon as people are able to buy,
their necessities will require them to spend the
money freely.
