The whole white population of the "Em

quite half az great as tia population Of thi,
city and Brooklyn alone. s@s 81 ..f~#a
The white population Of this city alone is
three times as great as that of the entire
State Of South Carolina. b.. .s-r ....a..,.
There are three times as many white per-
sons in this city, as there are Shareholders
in the whole South. , &ts"% at
The hay crop Of the North, West. and
East, is twice valuable as the best cotton
crop known in many years.
The wheat and grain crop Of the West this
year, is worth as much as the cotton crop
under any circumstances, and should war
in Europe cause an extra demand for it
there, it would double It's value.
Nearly all the most valuable private
property in the Southern States is insured

For year, at least, the South will be
dependent upon the West for the food she
eats, as she is now upon the North for the
clothes she wears, the materials she builds
houses and railroads with, all her furniture
and all her public amusements. ...-.
so much for the s'mutuaI" dependence of
one section upon another; and now let us
see how VIC Of the North are benefited BY
the Union. .... .,ss. ..--. e. u
We take the Toutherners' cotton. and pay
them for it. They come North with the
money thus obtained, and spend ii here.
Hence We really get the cotton for nothing
In case of secession, we could still getthe
cotton. for cotton follows the market like
everything else. We should get it too. rs
cheaply as we do now but the money we
paid for it would not come back to us-at
least not all at once. In that way We should
lose Miss Specie. But how such change
would benefit the South, we cannot imagine.
If she chooses to spite herself by paying
twice as much for the neeessaries of life,
in Europe, as she would have to pay for
them in New York or prefers to waste her
money in fruitless attemps to cultivate man
ufactures at home, we can't see how the
new .Southern Confederacy' is goin, to
keep its bali Of the American Eagle on the
wing. e.. a..s..-v s.zsg q y~...., fs-a. j
II must be remembered, too, that unless
the seeding States could buy the govern
meut property within their limits. Federal
troops would be ordered to hold possession
of il. Armed vessels Of the Union would
be placed in all Southern ports, to enforce
the payment Of the Federal dues By all ves-
sells entering and departing. There could
be no shrinking this. ..sfz vss5
Then, too, the seeding States would be
grand flibustoriug grounds for the fanatics
of the Garrison aud Wendell Phillips school.
Having no reason to fear the interference
of the general government, these crazy re-
formers would stir up a general ipsurrection
among the slaves in less than year, in
defiance Of every precaution that Nigh. be
taken to exclude their ernissaries from the
South. Let the slaves be once fairly at the
business of burning killing, and destroying
and ten thousand blacks to help them could
easily be recruited 10 Havti. Where then
would be the ''AIiuHEe Men, and Tuscaloosa

The thinking men of the South cannot
help fore.eeing the horrors We depict; and
we will venture to saT. that no life Or FIRE
insurance company in the world would be
willing to insure white lives or property. in
distinct slave State Confederacy, al any
premium.
In fact, no Shareholders life would be
worth as much as sixth mortgage on q
country newspaper, in FIVE minutes after bis
State had seeded. sses5
