The placing of the s99, 726, ,299 ITO the free
and the slave States, reminds me of a story
told Of man who went to q friend and said
to him, 81 have been bargaining for house
and lot have some money towards paying
for il, and / wish you to let me have enough
to make up for the price agreed upon. -
"How much is the price? and how much
money have your" were questions asked
him. He replied, "S3OO, and have one dol

have no doubt that $50 out Of each 500
of the 500, ,0OO, 900 belongs exclusively to the
free States. OF the S2l4, ,s06, 555, the export
of the slave States, no less than S2O7, 7l3, 1O2
from these two products the slave States do
not export enough to count. They do not
raise grain enough for their own consumption,
and Of hog they buy any quantity Of Ohio
and other States.
Cotton is Commercial King at the South,
as this crop is gathered, baled, and all ex-
ported out Of the States where it is produced.
Il amounts 10 many millions. In commerce
it counts largely; but does it make the South
rich2 Does it pay2 l should like to see
some facts and figures from the able pen of
E. D. MANSFIELD, Esq, of Cincinnati, the
ablest statistician in this country, and who
ought to have charge Of the Census Bureau
in Washington. He is a gentleman emil
nently qualified for such position, and Pres
idsnt Buchanan would do the country great
service if he would place Mr. Mansfield there.
But, no such good fortune awaits the coun-
try; as Mr.. NJ. could not take an oath, that
slavery is the only thing every where consti-
tutional, beyond all doubt in this gOOdly
land and this alone would commend him TO
the official notice of our Democratic Presi-
dent
It is very much to be regretted that in all
sections of the country, there is general com
plant as to the miserable manner in which
the census statistics have been taken. This
work needed intelligent men; not mere t0Ols
Of party many of whom could scarcely read
or write. The census of our industry shows
our material growth, and it needs great care.
Ignorant men are not competent to this i'm
pOrtant task. have been told Of some dis
triets where the deputies merely guessed at
population, OF in a grog shop, would make
enquiries as to facts. "This Is a great eOun-
try"
It is somewhat strange that 50 many of the
rich men Of this city are ultra pro-slavery
men, and have no sympathies with the prin-
ciples Of jefferson and scout his teachings.

That wealth difIused is happiness
While heaped up wealth corrupts." :"
Almost the entire class of the rich foreign
born merchants of this city are prO-slavery.

Government or care any thing about the

"In Oceans wide domains

presvme in the army of GARIRALDI, there
are very few, if any, rich men. The "com-
mon pleople" are struggling with the great
Captain" for hberty,in the old world. There
are now, there have been in The Past, honor
able exceptions to this rule.
JoHN HANCOCK, was a merchant Of very
large wealth, perhaps the richest merchant in
the then thirteen Colonies; and when he was
told that the British intended to burn the
town of Boston" and his property would
all be destroyed-he replied, flet it go-I
have counted the cost-I can sacrifice it all
in the cause Of Liberty" r
Charles Carroll, of Maryland, the richest
planter in the Colonies, when he put his name
to The Declaration of Independence, a gentle
man standing by him, remarked, "1lr. Car
roll, there are so many of your name in the
Colony, that King George won't know which
one to hang, If we fail, and the Patriot ad-
ded with bis pen, "of Carrollton, thus desig-
mating himself beyond any question. Such
was the devotion Of rich men in the time that
tried mems souls, and principles too, in favor
Of Universal Liberty.
The political eauldron is boiling right mer-
rily. The meeting at Cooper's Institute on
the 18th to ratify the Republican nomina-
tons at Syracuse, was grand success. The
speeches of Hon. JAMS o. PUTNAM and CARL
ScHURz, Esq, were among the best ever made
in this city. Mr.. Putnam's was admired for
its classic beauty-its clear logic, elevated
sentiment and correct principle--and the
gifted ScHURz crushed out the Little Clan"
so that there was not enough of him left to
make a fz. He killed Douglas, by the pub
lie record Of Douglas, Sin an open field, and
a fair fight" Carl Schurz Is q wonderful
man. He has studied Political Science. and
the Philosophy Of Government, to some pur-
pose, and no man has clearer comprehen-
sion Of the spirit and genius Of our own In
stitutiOns. have never heard more able
defender of the great principles Of Constitu-
tional Liberty. have no doubt If he were
eEoibLe by birth he would receive from the
people the highest Office in the world. Dis
tinguished honors await him in the State Of
his adoption, Wisconsin.
The short but effective and earnest speech
Of Mr. WM Z. DoDeE, who was claimed by
the express as Bell man, produced the
greatest enthusiasm, as be said che was free
man and not a slave to be sold" Mr.. D.
presided at a Bell meeting few weeks ago
he is one Of the most distingushed-culti-
Tatea, clear headed, and large-hearted mer-
chants Of this city, whose hand is open as the
DAY to every call of humanity, beneYolenee
or Christian charity. He paid our excellent
Chief Magistrate a just and well merited
compliment and the long and loud shouts of
the audience told how fully it was apprecia-
ted, and highly they esteemed Gov. Morgan.
All IS well in the Empire State.
