Ifany one will analyzc the arti-
cles embraced in the amount OF
500, ,S2G, 900, belonging alike to the
labor of the free and slave States,
he will find that Mt least onc-third
is justly the products Of slave labor.
We have, therefore, the fact that
out of s3l6, ,22O, ,610 Of exports of do
mestic industry, nearly $3.50, 900, 900
is furnished by those States known rs
slave States.
Thee arc the figures which cX-
hibit lacts that evoly northern man
should consider WHO prefers his own
country and his own Union to any
other. We cssSreadily understand,
with Mr.. Stewards hostile feelings
to fittcer States OF this Union,
how it IS that he should prefer the
prosperity OF Europe But he has
permitted bis malice and hatred to
overroach the interest of his own
people. If we have no sugar and
cotton to export, what becomes of
the dcservedly proud city of his own
State? Take away from our eX-
ports the sum of sl01 ,S06,555, the
single article of cotton, and tell us
what ruin it would spread. Are
Mr. Seward and his followers so
short sighted MS 10 suppose that only
the producers Of the article will be
affected by its destruction? Every
interest IN the United States would
feel the shock, and Ghe commercial
world itself would tremble under
the ,qnaSu5rnc. me hgures re-
quire no argument to satisfy reflect
ing men that our discords are driv-
ing us to ruin they appeal with n
force that every section can under
stand.
Bat suppose we r0j,e the curtain
and look beyond this present state
Of united happiness, aniGed interest,
ard united prosperilyEand see what
lies behind, SuppoSa Mr.. Seward
and his followers slIc> led in disunit-
ing this people, who are, the great
est ustrTrcross AT present the foreign
commerce of THIS tvu.,-s .;s,-a+ the
North the capital to cairy'it on is
furnished by the South. When we
become separate and, it may be,
hostile nations, the scene will be
changed The southern young man
will be educated to do in this bus
mess what now almost exclusively
belongs to the northern The We
ny institution of slavery may have
influence in taking away from the
young men of the South the neces-
sity to follow commercial employ
ment, and hence there is not that
stimulant there which exists at the
North.
Let two separate governments
follow the policy of Mr.. Seward,
which will as certainly take place
as the night succeeds the day, and
where now the South appears to be
languid all will be life, energy and
activity. The great law of neces-
sity will urge them to apolicy which,
if they had followed their interest
they would have adopted long ago.
The interest of the southern people
will be exclusively free trade; they
will haye no necessity to build up
this or that domestic industry by
bounties or protective tariffs, and
hence the North will looscwhat is
now the greatest source Of their
wealth-the home market lp look
ing over the classification We have
~lresented Of the industrial interest
of each section, it will be fohnd that
New England, and, in fact, most of
the northcrn free States, furnish
but little of our wealth as exhibited
by the exports. The question is
suggestive, in what, then does the
annual wealth of the North consist ?
They are an Industrious people, and
must certainly make something. 1t
is answered in the fact they supply
the home market with those arti-
4 Giles that are not imported from for
eign countries, and their amount is
mil ions. To the Union they are
indebted for this wealth; without
/ it their industry would come into
competition with other eountics,
and under which they would not be
able to stand. Take an illustration
in the article ofcotton manufactures:
n,ppose there was. no tariff at all,
What would become of that interest
in tie free States? Capital and la
Dor would both feel the blow. In
he South the reverse would take
hlacc pital and labor would both
be benefited. And so it is with ev-
cry article thai coItld be mentioned.
We only point ont these to show the
f0llt Of continuing this controversy
Of ihe 'rrepressible e,hfirt." /" Those
