The settlement Of NORTH Carolina and Penn

Is not very striking contrast in their climate,
All that can be produced in PENNSYLVANIA, says
Mr. Cingman, can be grown with lcss labor
and cost in North Carolina while the latter
produces some important articles Of commerce
which the former does not. Both States are
contiguous to the Sea, both arc moro or less
mountainous, and 10th are rich in coal and
iron. In respect Of area, the advantage is On
tue side Of North Carolina, by 4,704 square
miles. Tie following from the United States

her by Ar. Clingmau, why this disparity Of

The answer is unmiatakcatle, but Mr.. Cling
nan does not give it.
But Pennsylvania has had n career Of re.
1narkable prosperity. 1t may be said that she
was indebted to some particular local adyau-
