BUSINESS PROSPECTS. New York Her
aid and other journals of the commercial cities
are anticipating n very rapid and general ex-
pansion Of business in all quarters 81 the com
try as being likely soon TO take place The
Herald argues at length that the country is thus
being ushered upon just such another sea of
specuIation as preceded the financial crash in
1857. While our belief is thst the pdbfie,ssre
collection of the disastrous results of those
times of undue speculation is too fresh to per-
NIT the same game to be very extensively play
ed over, we nevertheless anticipate the very
speedy disappearance Of the hinderances to
Commercial activity growing out of the fnan-
cisl losses Of the troubles of 1857
These hindrances exist for the most part in
the Northwest, which suffered most in the last
crash. The bad crops Of the two last seasons
there, swept off thousands on thousands en-
gagged in trade, and have taught all others
there the value Of economy and the danger Of
encountering obligations depending on the
success Of speculations for their due liquida-
ton. The Northwest has asyet hardly com
menced to recover from its disasters of 1857,
and even if disposed to grow crazy over
change in the business tide Of the times, is
without the means (money or produce) neces-
sary to enable it again to plunge into career
of speculation. .-.. ... ......a
As for the South, the crash Of 1851 passed
over its business men in all departures of
trade and agriculture, leaving them compare
lively unscathed, because speculation and debt
went out of fashion in that section of the Union
with the disappearance of the Mississippi Bran
don bank era; and, further, because while the
two last crops Of the South have been abundant,
they have steadily commanded increasing pri-
ces. The crash of 1857, while, as we explained
above. injuring few there, had the happy effect
Of teaching all there a valuable lesson. The
southern merchants laid in fewer goods, and
their customers bought fewer, though perhaps
better able to buy them than ever before.
The soundness of the Southern merchants
saved all Of those in trade at the North of whom
they purchased, who were lot too deep'y IN
yOlved from crediting the Northwest For all
this, the character of the employment Of the
great mass of the Southern people, perhaps, is
most to be thanked. They are farmers and
planters, selling what they produce almost en-
tirely for cash, and living almost entirely of
the produce Of their farms and plantations
The almost entire exemption of the South
from the financial difficulties incident to such
disastrous business times as those we discuss
above, it strikes us, should open the eyes of
the North to the fact that the existence of
African slavery is not so remarkably injurious
to the pecuniary interests of communities in
which it exists, or SO destructive of desirable
business habits of all identified with it, (the
institution,) as it is fashionable to urge in non
slayeholding States.
