ciAl relations hitherto existing between
them were mutually beneficial, while har-
inOuy and brotherhood ruled the hearts oi
the p'ople. But il is very Erirvou- cr
r"r TO suppose that the Southern States
are deprndrnt upon Us for their existence.
THIS can be demonstrated by few facts.
The south exports to foreign countries in
value. IN round numbers. about $3.50 0OO-
600 worth Of cotton. tobacco rice. sugar.
naval stores, &C., annually. Most Of this
go.-s TO Europe. When the foreign buy
-r pays for IL. he does not send back gold.
aud 'uthern people can neither eat il
nor wear IL. bat he sends back $3.50 0O0,-
900 worth Of silks. broadcloths wines and
m 'nufactures. When this Southern pro-
p-riy arrives on our coast. the Custom

ported b. direct taxation. as States and
I townships, 80 that the taxation would fall
uPon al citizens equally. il Is plain that
Ihr North. having population # 10000
OOO and the SOUTH having = population Of
100000. the North would have TO pay
twice murh ~ the South. The exppn
-, OF the government are. say, $4,000.

| OO0.OOO per snnum. and the s auth would
/ pay S26,JOO.OOO pr aDnum. On the con-
trnry. under the tariff system the North
| paws $50 600 600 aud the South paws 500
100000. Therefore. for the benefits Of
| Union. the South pays $4,000 600 more
than her share. annually; and this money
instead Of going into the pockets of her
| Own people. gos,s iBdirpcily into the pocll-
et- Of the New England manufacturers,
whom this tariff protects from foreign
competition.
But the philosophers and political coon
oHnists Of the Republican school exclaim.
.. dit the Philadelphia Press the other
day. "the North consumes the largest part
| OF the fOrsiR;i importations. and. tlrere-
fore pays the most TO the government in
duties" IL Is true that the North uses
two thirds Of the foreign impose. but il
must be remembered that most of those
imports are the property of Sou hern
people when they enter American ports
and that the sOutheru people pay duties
bs.fore they are admitted. After the du-
ties are paid, and the New York merchant
puts them in his store, il is undt-rstUpi
that th~J are much larger in amount than
the South wants, therefore the North
agrees to take n large paT1 of them sud
send 10 the SOuih New England manuiac-
tursp in their place. Or. in other words.
the sOpthern owner Of imported goods
reiis two-thirds Of them to the North. to
