Southern wealth and Northern
Profits.

There will be found under this title, amongst
our literary notices, resume of very curious
and interesting work. which has just been pub
lished in reply to the s'facts and figures of the
Helper book and the black republican agitators
1t ia from the pen of Mr.. Kettsl, writer who has
made financial and economical questions special
ity, and who seems to have thoroughly investiga-
ted the issues treated in this publication. He
proves clearly that not only does every Northern
business man owe his income or employment to
slave labor, but that the value of all Northern
property rests upon the same basis. The wealth
produced at the South accumulates at the North,
and the writer contends that every Northern in
terest is bound up in the continuance and pro-
erosion of black servitude The experiment of
free black labor has been tried by England, and
has failed and the United States is the only ma
ton that has maintained its duties towards the
black race, by guiding them, through Industry, to
higher state of being. These views are power
fully urged and are supported by official figures
and documents. The appearance Of Mr.. Kettslls
document at the present time cannot but have q
most useful effect in counteracting the lies and fa
lacies on which the black republican views of
slavery are founded and on which they have built
their platform. As an antidote to the poison of
the infamous Helper book, this work should be
extensively circulated .-HeraM, April 3.
"Ihe a0ealth produced at the South ac-
catnaulateS at the North !" Most certainly,
0, Kettell 1t surely does not accumu-
late at the South, for the South becomes
poorer every day, and is living today on
next years products. The South is at
this moment oac'aed by Northern merchants
and capitalists, either directly or by mort
cages on real estate and live stock. And
this is the last and only bond which binds
North and South together. 1t would COW
er many Northern cheek with shame
should some man collect and publish the
mortgages recorded in all the Southern
county Offices.
The breaking off of the Southern trade
would injure the North about as much as
the abolition of slavery in the West Indies
injured Great Britain She is infinitely
stronger, Weather, happier, truer to her
great destinies today than she was thirty
years ago, when Jamaica was cursed with
slavery.

In looking over the tax list for 1862 of the city
Of Charleston, in the slave State of South Carroll
na, we find that there are three hundred and fifty
Stree persons Of color who pay taxes on real es-
tate, horses, and slaves" Many of these persons
are women, and the taxable property in some
cases amounts to sixteen, twenty, and twenty five
thousand dollars. In quite q number CT eases
perhaps one fourth of the whole-these colored
taxpayers hold slaves, numbering from one to a
dozen each; SO that the free negres Of South Car
olina have no scruples, it would appear, about
keeping their berthren in bondage. The whole
population Of Charleston, white and black, is not
over 10000 out Of which 555 free negroes are
persons Of property, paying taxes to the city. In
the Empire City Of York, tho capital of great
free State, there are nearly million of inhabi-
tants. Of whom eleven thousand are free negroes,
and out of that number there are not half dozen
"free persons Of color who pay cent of taxes.
We mention these facts for the enlightenment of
Exeter Hall. They will furnish an excellent
theme for discussion at the next meeting of the ia
natics and niger worshippers who hold forth
there.-Herad, Ar-a 3.
!. Had the Herald" pursued its studies
little farther, it would have found that
not only in Charleston, butt in all the South
ern States, the relation of whites and blacks
to taxes show that the blacks pay at least
twenty per cent more taxes than the whites,
being subjected to heavier personal tax
on each man, woman, and child. Indeed,
the whites are relatively the pauper class,
living on the blacks, the productive class.
free as well as slave.
2. The large preponderance Of colored
women on the tax bills, is another proof
that men are better than the institutions
under which they live. Prevented by law
and usage from marrying the colored moth
ers Of their children, wealthy white South
ernors give them, directly or by bequest,
the property in houses or slaves enumerat-
ed as above.
3. We do not see anything worse in a
negro holding negro in slavery than in a
white man holding white man In slavery.
Massa Howell Cobb, for instance, came to
New York the other day, called the roll OF
slaves who cultivate the government plan
tation in Broad street, appointed three new
overseers over them, and assured them
with the most crushing courtesy that he was
friend to the laborerl
On Sunday, in an elaborate expose Of
the condition of the free negroes in the city
of New York, the Herald" stated there

dozen colored taxpayers in this city In

to know of three or four hundred who pay

most piteous appeal for some one to lend

had made up his mind to go and lend the
editor in question three hundred dollars,

found violent article against the negroes.

number that would have saved Sodoml
who are opposers of African Civilization,
who will pay ten dollars year, or even
FIVE dollars year, if the former amount is
too large, to aid in putting this able and
independent paper (which is doing great
work at home and abroad upon a more
solid basis. I will be the eleventh, and
Mr.. Gloucester shall be the twelfth, the
whole amount shall be paid to the publish

diions, call for me and you will find me

On motion of Mr.. Comes, committee
of three, consisting of Messrs. Comes,
johnson and T. J. Bowers, was appointed
by the President to draft resolutions. The
committee retired, and during their absence
the meeting was addressed by Rev. j. A.
Blaine.
The following preamble and resolutions
were then reported by the committee:
Whereas, Several of our brethren have been
arrested and imprisoned for no other crime than
sympathizing with Moses Horner, an alleged fugi
tive who has been ruthlessly snatched from our
State and consigned to perpetual danger therefore
be it
Resolrsd, That we do entirely approve and en-
dorse the action of these noble men, jeremiah
Buck, A NJ. Green, St. Clair Burley, David Hail.
BAIL Hall, John Bailey, John Johnson, Joshua
Black and R. Williams, and all others who may
engaged In attempting to rescue said
Moses Horner.
Resolved, That we will stand by these men
while we have hearts to sympathize with the OPP
pressed of our country, and that we will freely
share with them our last dollar and our last loaf
ResoLued, That we regard America as our home
and that oppression shall drive US from it, how
ever much we may be compelled to battle against
the hellish schemes of both Northern and South
ern upholders of slavery.
Resolced, that as Moses Horner was disposed to
leave the notorious jefferson County, Virginia,
where John Brown and his brave associates fell
martyrs to the principle of universal liberty, we
deeply sympathize with him in being compelled
to return to that place to endure untold torture
to be sold into the rice swamps of the far South.
Resolved, That Benjamin F Brewster, through
his fundamentally in consigning his brother man
to the chains of interminabls slavery, deserves
the supreme contempt and exeeration of every
lover of freedom throughout the world.
Resolved, that these proceedings be published
in the weekly Anglo-African," Frederick
Douglass Paper and the "Anti-Slavery Stand
ard"
RESOLVED, That vote of thanks be rendered
Messrs Earle, Hopper, Warmer and Bull for
their noble efforts in behalf of humanity, and
that we will ever hold them in grateful remem-
brance.
The phraseology of the second resolu-
ton was objected to by Messrs Stephen
Smith and S. M Smith.
Mr.. VIM. H. johnson spoke at great
length in support of the resolutions, and
pictured with the vividness of life the no.
BILE effort of the men, and eulogized the
bravery they possessed in battling against
such odds and enduring the punishment
they did for the sake of iberty's glorious
cause.
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
