The Imports OF the Southern States do not
fall below eight hundred millions of francs, put.
tina topether The Europcan imports and those
from The Northern States which manufacture
=, LARGE nuantjtv of cotton. There is nothing
axoc,crnted in those figures
me- increase Of populatiou on soil where
,he snacr not vet cultivated or settled, is larger
than thar occunied by the farmers, is restrained
nv -, obstacle. Il can. therefore, be readily
admitted that the exports and the imports will
Le.,, mace with the increase Of population
The urosperity of the new Confectionery is
thereby Intimately connected with European,
and particularly With French interests. As we
have already stated, all those States produce
raw materials and consume manufactured arti-
Giles they are sure to increase both their pro-
duclon and consumption.
| All their sea ports will be thrown npen to
| the trade of the world and il France but knows
how 10 put TO account that favorable circuul
stance, which, by the by, is made practically
easier through the new commercial policy in
auguratcd by the Emperor, then her industry,
in spite OF the disti'nce will be able to compete
most favorabiy with that OF the Northern States
The French products, which are very popular
in the markets abroad, will have the advantage
OF cost price besides that Of custom duties,
which, by rcprsa.S, will he Land on the products
Of the Northern Republic.
The Southern CUn!cdcracy Is, by its mani
fest destiny, an ally Of Europe and, in an
emergency, she will be able to help US power
| fHlly in return for simple recognizance which
will most probably be sufficient to keep at bay
Northern ianaticism and preserve from ruin
the Southern eatreDot. which Europe needs
| for the present. Thank God. we no longer
live in those times when one was proud to ex.
claim from the stand Of the National Assem-
bly: LET the colonies perish rather than
prlncple,"

But whilst awaiting those results, which
must flow from the welcome rendered by
Europe to the new Coniedcracr, let the true

strangely mistaken as to the real condition OF
the negroes throughout the South. We vii.
linsly admit that their error is very cxcusablc,
for they have only heard Of the relations OF
the master with his slave through the work Of
Mrs. Beecher Stowe. We will not follow her
along the visionary path OF her lucubratons

OF q philosophical treatise, but which was
rather inspired TO the author, unaware. per-
