The IntOlerablc Wrong,

The flaming orators of the South, who en-
deavor to lash the passions of the multitude
into frenzy, glibly allude to the intolerable
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
slave States, but they take precious care not
to enter into details. Like Rhctt's absurd
charges against Lincoln and Hamlin, that
the former is an abolitionist and the latter
mulatto, they ore put forth without proof and
without contradiction. There are neither
persons nor presses to refute these wanton
accusations where they are made, and they
are believed by the people because they are
so roundly asserted by their leading men.
If the truth could be proclaimed at the same
time, the delusion Of secession ould find
few adherents, and the windy DISCLAIMERS
who appear to carry all before them, would
meet as stern hostility, even in the cotton.
States, as they do in Virginia or the North
What are those "intolerable wrongs" of
which they complaint Certainly nothing
that has been done by the general govern
ment, which from the beginning has been
under the control Of the statesmen of the
South 1t has not been among those wrongs
that out of the seven:y-two years of our ma
tional existence, the South has had the
President, with, of course, all the members of
the Cabinet, fiity-six of those years, and The
North but sixteen tat it has had the Chief
Justice of the United States, with majority

House forty seven Of those years and that
in the departments at Washington, as we'll
as in the army and navy, the greater number
of the Offices have been filled from the South.
1t is not among those wrongs, that of the
three acquisitions of foreign territory which
the Union has made, namely, of Louisiana,
Florida, and the Mexican provinces, the
South has acquired and peopled more than
two thirds, rs the whole of Louisiana, the
whole Of Florida, and the whole of Texas,
leaving to the free States only California

of the real and personal property, accord
ing to the last census, in that which went
to the South was oversee 1000, 700, while in
that which went to the North it was only
about sl00,00o,oo0.
1t is not among the wrongs Of the South
that in the administration of the Post-otic
Department, the South has enjoyed the ben
eits, and the North has paid the expense
By the Postmaster-General's report for 1858
it appears that the total receipts from the
slave States are about 81, 1000, while the
expenditures there are $4,630,O0O. In the
cotton States, some of whose inhabitants are
now so furious for getting out of the Union,
the receipts are about $40O, 1000 and the ex-
penditures over $l,000,0OO. Surely, there
are no evidences of desire to Cypress in
facts like these, or in other facts which
might be adduced as to the operation of all
the other departments Of the general govern
ment.-N Y Post.
