Difference in fAvor Of Southern products over
the crop Of hay in the free States .$63, 4s7 PIT
fSouthern naval stores were embraced for the
same year, the difference would be still greater.
We thus see that instead of the Southern products
referred to being in the aggregate s3533,27
below the crop Of hay in the free States that they
were actually 534s7, PIT in excess Of 1t.
The Journals comparison of 2S,s79, O64, 9O2
pounds in the free States (of whatD with
4,33S,370,6 6l pounds in the slave States, from
which it educes balance against the South of
"a 539, 694, PAL pounds, is sheer nonsense and be-
meath notice.
We thus see that the fanatic jumps to conclu-
sions from figures manufactured to suit his own
purposes-tbat Of trying to show that the slave
States are inferior to the free, and that slavery
is curse" After all, the prosperity and pro
gress Of country chiefly depend upon the
value Of its exports. If the thirteen millions
tons Of hay were consumed at home, or only
given in exchange for other domestic products,
we do not perceive how it would materially add
to the wealth or pecuniary resources of the
country.
When we come to try the exportable values Of
the produce of the respective sections keeping in
mind the relative population of each, we shall
IND that the Southern far outstrip the free States
and prove that If slavery is "a curse" that
Northern merchants, farmers, manufacturers and
shlpowners have largely and freely benefited

knows MI Mather had nothing to do with the
letter in aA..v way. The Register itself Is of no
particular consequence, even in its own locality.
The editor is the same person who was kicked
out of the Mexican mission by the President.
and as journalist the Register man seems to be
repeating the blunders which cut Off his career
as diplomat.
The letter is like many others which are sent
from this city to different parts Of the country to
help along the swindle under which the Albany
Regency hopes to send its own tools to the
Charleston Convention, through appointment at
Syracuse. But the honest portion Of the demo-
cracy must insist upon popular representation
at Charleston by delegates selected in each Con-
gressional district of the State. And If that me-
thod of selection is not adopted by the State
Convention, then there should be peoples dele.

in Albany and ready to be sold in lump to the
highest bidder.

coSraged that there was something ridiculous
In the prudery commonly manifested on this
subject. and that If people were so very thin
skinned as to be shocked at the spectacle Of per-
sons bathing, they should select another place
and time for their promenades.
Contrast with this the action of our Solons WHO

the docks, and even for bathing on the beach at
Gowanus and Bay Ridge, far from public tho
roughfares, and the comparison will not be "a
vorable to the good sense of those who admins

outrage decency they should be allowed to battle
wherever facilities offer; and, as the London ma
gistrate suggested, let the ultra-modest select
some other time and place for their afternoon
strolls. Nor need the latter trouble themselves
as the old maid at Brighton did, to ascertain by
means Of telescope or opera glass the sex of the
bather.

The YACHT CLUB ExcoMMUN1oATED.-The New

print in another part of this paper, Eliminates
the wrath Of the unco pious against the gentle
men of the New York Yacht Club who continued
their recent cruise on Sunday, instead Of lying at
anchor, as the Observer thinks they should have
done. The Observers nerves seem to have been
especially shattered by the "booming of the
cannon" with which the yachts were saluted
from the shores of staid New London Some OF
the other religious presses have Joined in the
same hue-and-cry, and all lay great stress on the
fact that the cruise was minutely described in

A SENSIBLE MAGIsrRATE-HEALTH BEFORE

brought before the police ma gistrate for bathing

ANOTHER LAUNDERING LETTER ON New York
PoLIT1cs.-Whenever politician of certain
order in the South breaks down altogether, he
flies for refuge to the editorial eanctum, and
commences his career as journalist, without the
smallest qualification for the post. He always
has attached to his concern some drunken loafer
who hangs about the hotels and bar rooms of
this city, consorts with Five Points blackguards,
and retails trash which is called New York cor
respondence. It is from such sources that let
ters like that which we extract from the Mobile
Register emanate We print it to show what ut
ter stuff and nonsense these fellows send to their
masters. 1t purports to give important political
information from this city, and, as part of its
news, states that the Wise-Donnelly letter was
addressed to Mr.. John c. Mather. In the very
next column Of the very same Register is printed
in full the Wise letter with the Donnelly ad-
dress. The New York correspondent must have

We thus find that Of the whole amount Of
foreign exports sent abroad for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1851, the slave States, with
only about half the white population, and less
than three-fourths of the population Of the free
States-whites and blacks included-sent out
$l34,79s,247 worth Of products while all the
other States only exported SCI, 1891, AL. If the
exports of Southern flour to tropical and other
ports, with pine and live oak lumber, timber
slaves, &C., had been included, the amount of
Southern exports would have been still further
increased. So much for humbug and fanatcism
rapid strides in agricultural progress, and the
next census will prove it.
They produced the past year over 3,750000
bales Of cotton. This amount, at an average
$50 per bale, amounts to the sum
$1S7,50O000. OF this, the American manu-.
facturers have taken over 100000 bales of the
value of about s37,500,000, and Europe has
taken about 100000 bales, valued OF $780,
100000.
If to this export of l5O,OOO,OOO in cotton, we
add the exports of the fiscal year ending June
30, 1859, at the same figures they stood at in
the official report made up to the same time last
year, though they probably have been nearly
twenty-five per cent larger, we shall find
that the exportable value of Southern products
will stand as follows
Quantity. Value.

The census of 1860 will no doubt show that
the great progress made in the Southern States
since 1850 has been of most extraordinary
character, and will throw all the absurd theories
Of the Journal regarding the value of the hay
ard other crops still further into the shade.

To ventilate this gas bag of the Journals we
shall proceed to prick it with few plain facts.
Its figures are SO loosely stated and 90 wilfully
manufactured from the whole cloth that it is like
striking at a phantom to reply to 1t at all.
1t sets out by saying that the products in
bushels, by the census Of 1850, amounted on the
part Of the free States to 400 19O,O 41 while the
slave States produced 4sl, 766,SS9, showing
balance against the latter Of 17,423,152 bush.
els-of what? We suppose cereals and potatoes
are meant. Assuming this to be the case, on
turning to the official compendium report Of the
census Of 1850, we find that the relative popula-
ton of the two sections stood as follows

PRODUCTS OF THE UNIrRD STATES BY THE CENSUS

Total. 49, 1855 sI So os $500 57s
By comparing the relative amount Of bushels
supplied by each section, it must be borne in
mind that the white population Of the Southern
States was only about half that of the free States,
and that, with the whites and slaves combined,
it was over rs per cent less than that of the free
States. To make the comparison equal with the
population of each section the whites at the South
with their capital invested in negroes, lands,
&C.. produced 474,l9l,725 bushels; the whites
of the free States, with their capital invested in
farming, should have produced double that
amount, or GAS, 1888, 45O bushels If the whites
and blacks were counted together, the excess of
the free States over the yield Of the South should
have been at least rs per cent greater, or
assesses in excess of the South, while the
Journals figures show that it was only II ,423, 1852
bushels, and by our figures only 23,l3S,611.
Thus showing conclusively, by either class of
figures, that, population considered, the slave
States actually produced more bushels than the
free States. Yet the Journal, with most plau-
sible ingenuity, strikes its balance against the
South, and in favor of the free States just as
though the populations Of each section were
equal.
1t will be perceived by the census of 1850,
though not generally supposed to be the fact,
that the slave States produced more Indian corn
than the free.
We come next to the long talked Of and boast
ed hay crop, which the Journal says amounted in
the free States in 1850 to SAP, l38,99S. To
show how grossly it has misrepresented the facts,
it is only necessary to turn to the census of $780,
where the following table can be VERIFIED

slave STATES ,lS7 183 tons.
Free STATES. ...............I2,7oOstS
Total. Ia, 1888 ,e4a TONS
value .......... .Sso,o7O,4s4
From the $96,870 494, at least one-twelfth
should be subtracted as the produce Of the
South, which would amount to $S,O72,541, and
which would leave the value of the hay crop of
the free States at Sss,797,9 $50. By subtracting
this amount from the Journals statement of
S142, 13s,99S, as the value of the hay crop of
the free States, it will make a difference Of
$50, 341 ,O4S.
1t further says that "the cotton, tobacco, rice,
hay, hemp and sugar crop of the slave States in
1850 only amounted to s13s, 6O5,723, making
difference in favor Of hay alone of $3,533,275."

quantities and values of the articles referred

Ine very lave VI the Union. certain 1t in that
even by peaceable secession of the Southern
States-f that were possible-New York, New
jersey and PennsJ lvania would be thrown back
half century, and the property in those States
would be deprecated fifty per cent. Their
present commercial connection with the Southern
States by railroad, by steamboat, and by other
descriptions Of shipping, is one of the great
sources OF their wealth and prosperity. By the
severance of the Union, the Southern commerce
which now enriches those States and the North
generally, would go to England, our rival; and
the Northern States, cut off from the staples of
the South, would be utterly Frustrated, and be
come instead Of the members of powerful con
federacy, feeble and impoverished fraction of a
country, to be regarded as of no Importance
among the nations of Europe and of the world
The question to be decided, therefore, indirectly
at the fall elections in these States is one not onlv
of pride and principle, but of the commercial
manufacturing and agricultural interests. There
is only one chance Of escape from the impending
calamity, and Chat is that the people Of these
States will merge all their minor disputes and diff
fereDces'in common union against VIM. H. Sew

tons; and should they be successful, the tc1at of
the victory will keep them united for the strug-

will bear into port the triumphant ship of the
constitution, and leave the traitor bark of Sew

we shall have the religious papers advocating
the stopping of ocean steamers and oil seagoing
vessels on the Sabbath. Why not restore the
Jewish dispensation in all its severity at once?
What would the parsons say to cold mutton for
their Sunday dinner? When they are journeying
in Europe no travellers indulge more freely in
Sabbath epjoyments than they; but that is proba-
