Strength Of the North and south-A Com
PhrisOn between Slavery aud FreedOni

RHFis0n between Slavery aud Freedom
Wednesdays New York Times says:
The dead weight at the South is slavery.
It can not carry forward its part of the load.
The ratio of increase in the Northern States
the past decade was nearly twice as great as
that OF slaves. Now, if the South accept
such an institution, it must be at the sacrifice
of political power, which, according to the
genius of our Institutions, must be Welded
By the majority. They will not take the
first steps to compete with the North, and
being distanced in the race by their own
fault, they now seek TO break up Govern
ment which, as a minority, they can no
longer control. When they could rule al a
minority, the Government was good enough
for them as soon as it becomes a Govern.
ment of the majority, it must be destroyed.
The Importance Of the Southern States is
well illustrated by the feeble progress of Vir-
in position, climate soil and mineral wealth.
We look to England for snail-like progress,
= but in forty years, from 1911 to 1851, the
population of that country Gncluding Wales)
went from IL, $40, l20ato 20,9l6, ,364, or at the
rate ofnearly eighty per cent. That of Vir-
ginia in the same time, went from "a 622 to
l,42l 1852, or at the rate of only forty five per
cent.a nj g- ID vi NJ .Lls
/ If Virginia had increased at the rate
of New York or Pennsylvania, she would
now have had population of 94l2, 900, or
five and a half times her present number.
She has resources enough for a population
Of 10000, 600, without being overstocked. Yet
she can not even commence their develop
ment because she enaets by law that all labor
shall be blind @
Such is the contrast between the clviliza-
tion of the South, of which Mr.. Stephens SO
loudly boasts, and that of the North. One is
No.
promise can there be between themP None,
but for the South to repose, as they have
done in times past, with perfect safety, upon
the strength Of the North, instead of defying
it. If they seek to provoke its hostility, they
court their own destruction.

VIRGINIA CHIvALRY ON WoMEN.-The

We would call the attention of the author
tiles to the fact that Richmond contains at
present q. large number Of secret enemies of
the South in petticoats as well as pantaloons.
Unless their actions are kept under strict
surveillance, 1t is very probable that they
may render considerable service to the Lin
coin Government in the way of private in
formation. When past experience tells us
that the South can not be too wide awake to
every source of danger, this important SUBJ
ject should commend itself at once to the
prompt consideration of the "powers that
be-" ~ gr...,t,.srl, ,s.q r'-r-.-t-r 4r
Gentlemen Sepoys, says the New York
Times, all the answer we have to make TO the
infamous hint contained in these lines, is to
urge you to do your worst quickly. The
Old Dominion contains in its boundaries
many women married from Northern homes
who have not yet forgotten their patriotic
instincts. Doubtless they are looking anxi-
ously for the answer which will be made to
threats like these, and they need not wait long,
for we tell you who utter them that the first
act ofviolenee done TO any sister or daughter
from any Free State will precipitate upon
Richmond the fate which is already impend-
ing over Baltimore. No plea of temporary
insanity can then be interposed to save yon.

Gross Bldndsfs Of the Southern conrsd-

n ElIH' L4eracy. III -7IT-I- .
1t was gross blunder on the part of the
Sopthern Confederacy, says the New York
EVening Posi-, to cannonade Fort Sumter, to
smoke and starye out its little garrison of
forty five men, surrounding it with a ring
of formidable batteries and sho wering red
hot shot upon it after it was set on fire by
their attack. The circumstances of that
attack turned the whole current Of sympathy
against the besiegers. They might have
kept the garrison cooped up in the fort for
an indefinite time, in sort of honorable
imprisonment. "A ~ VJ 80 IsA
The taking of the fort was not Of the least
Consequence to the Uonfederates, since il
was deprived Of the power Of doing them
mischief, and they might have occupied the
attention of our Government with, the ap-
pearance of o readiness to attack it while
, they prepared for the capture of Washing
ton. The momsnt Fort Sumter was taken
all the North was in blaze of warlike zeal,
and Major Anderson and his garrison go
forth to inhRme the popular enthusiasm.
Another, egregious blunder of Jefferson
Davis was not marchiDg his troops imme-
diately on Washington the instant Fort
Sumter was taken. Every thing should
have been in readiness for tie march at a
I moments notice. The railways should have
,ieonveyed the rebel army with lightning
speed to the seat of Government, and the
fall of Fort Sumter should have been fol-
{ lowed in three days afterward by the fall Of
Washington. The opportunity Is now lost;
Washington may be sorely pressed; the feb-
els may be indiscreet enough to attack it,
but we fully helieve the attack viii be 're-
PEELED.
~ Another gross blunder was the issue Of
letters fmarque and reprisal by the Con-
fl derate States. 1t renders strict blockade
Z of the Southern ports necessary; ii makes
the rebel Government odious TO the civilized
world; it alienates from the South some of
its best friends, the merchants. It makes
the unanimity of the North more complete,
and gives new force tothe discrimination to
put dewnlthose who at first were rebels and
4 now are robbers. cHit fs

"Col. Fremont is in town, On his way

asm to the cause of freedom, it might be
found in an incident which occurred in

a8-Mr. Russell, the correspondent oil
the London Times, who has been in this
country several months, and at latest ac-
counts the guest of the Southern rebels,
evidently does not sympathize with them
In their rebellion against the Govern
ment. In his letter to the Times, dated
April l6'h, he thus equivocally speaks OF
the conflict between the Southern Con
;ederacy and the Federal Government:
The die is cast, and civil war now
exists in this country. Without cause.
The Gull States have rushed into the re.
bellloh, and must now suffer the conse.
quences OF their act; for the States that
remain loyal to the Union are now u
unanimous in the determination that the
Government shall be supported, and that
this wicked treason, which, without pro-
vocation, has essayed to overturn one OF
the few free governments of the earth,
aad establish in its place military des=
potism, ruled BY sh irresponsible eligar-
chy, where freedom of speech and Of
thought should be suppressed, and on
ly African SLAYER recognized as divine
institution. shall be put down at whatev

whether it be reached at the end of FIVE
years or fifty. Let there be no appre-
hension in Europe On this point, nor up>
on the meIlts of the issue that is made.
The line that divides the two combatants
is plain one. On the one side stand
the supporters of Constitutional Govern
ment-those who favor the preservation
Iof Tree instltutions-those who dread a
military despotism-those who believe in
the noble principles Of the Anglo Saxon
freedom that have made England
what it is; and on the other side, are those
who prefer military Government, foup>
ded on treachery and conspiracy--those
who would suppress the press and all
the noble results that flow from its free
dom-those who regard African slavery
as divine institution, to be fostered by

a squirrel from the top of pine so lofty
