TAe N~reh asd seash.
From thss ably edited jour 81, the
A~.riosa Railway RsSis's, We publish
this morning somewhat extensive art,
ole showing tho relstive position Of the
North, and the South q Far A. product
Of the se'L-esportatIcns, importations,
&C.. are concerned. Such 90 exhibit
laid before the public by paper which
is un~arped BY political CONSIDER alton,
should be treated With much considera
ton and stored away in the memory Of ali
classes. Most particularly should such
facts be dwelt upon by those fanatic.
Who, in their shortsightedoess and bit.
sevoess Of .pirit proclaim that the North
would be we'll enough of without the
South that the Souh is bat an incubus,
. ~art upon the face Of the Union hat
she does not produce enough to support
herself; add that the quicker she ''slides"
the better.
In these times, when disunion il talked
Of With 20 much cooluess as two
brothers would talk Of dividing patri.
ueeisl estate which they had inherit
ed, it IL we'll enough, not to say incum-
bent upon us,t0 Look at these matters in
a,dispassiopate manner, and observe the
facts concerning the resources OF each
with an eye upon the consequences at
tending dissolution.
We ask thorough perussl Of the fol-
lowing article:
THE NORTH AND SoUTH CONNER
CuALIy Co ssIDERxD.--The United States,
taken a. body. never possessed more
substantial elements for prosperity than
now exist. With an export demand for
both cotton aud broadstnffs at remu-
nerative prices 1t the same time
the balance Of trade, as indicated
by the present rates of exchange on
London and Paris, is for the mo-
ment so Overwhelmingly large rs to
require the import of at least $40, OOO,-
900 in gold INTO the country in order to
bring up the value Of = sovereign from
- 80 or = 2O-franc from 50 60 to their
respective standard value alongside #
our currency. With an internal com
meroe giving full employment to all our
railways and canals, and crops that will,
before another one is grown, give basis
for wonderful increase to all business
rela' ions in every section of the Union,
all these blessings would be vouchaated
t. us AS they have been by a bounliful
Providence, in the harve,ts Of the ma
ito" a. whole were we permitted to
enjoyed them, and preserve them in u
quiet manner; but what do they be-
hold One OF the most desperate and
wicked experiments for destroy ing
values ever before experienced in this
country--a political revolution, having
for its objects the severlng of the fede-
raj com ,act that makes these United
States a prosperous and hal Ply nation.
II not for Us to comment upon the
causes that have produced this present
alienation of good feeling between the
two sections, but to exhibit their true
commercial position, both as it reg ,ds
their resources tor a permanent trade,
aud their dealings with each other.
We commence FIRST with those of the
South, for every interest with which we
are identified at the North. is tributary
to the growth Of cotton by slave labor
il this crop is deficient, it is not only
felt at home, but i, visible at the North,
and throughout Europe. Taking the
past and present seasons together, the
annual value Of the surplus productions
Of the slave States, that are salexblc be-
You'd their own limits, would be as fol-
lows:
Cotton. .S140, 900. 900
Tobacco. Observation-Disclosures. 1000 1000
