WEALTH, PAUPgRIsM Ak'p CRIME IN THE Me-
Thor0LrTAS DisrRIcr-FAcrs REVEALED BY rIu
CESsus-A view extending some fifty miles,
having New York city as focrs of observa-
ton, presents much that is gratifying and
much that is to be regretted. Before the free
labor OF the North should boast of its advan-
tages over the slave labor of the South, ON priu-
ciples of humanity or philanthropy, 1t should
carefully consider the pauperism and crime ex.
isting among US. There are about two millio~s
of people inhabiting an area extending fifty
miles from New York. The Metropolitan dis.
trict contains about 1900, 900 people, who pes.
SEES an aggregate wealth in real and personal
estate of about one thousand millions of dol.
lars The assessors valued this property for
1859 at little over s75O,00O,OOO, and the census
marshals added to this about twenty-five per
cent as the true or cash value, thus making
about sl,oOO,OOO,0O0. This amount divided
among l,200, 900 people, gives to each man, wo.
man and child about 1888, or to each persoa
twenty one years of age about $1,000, or to
each head Of family about $4,000. Here We
find an aggregate and an individual wealth no
where else TO be found on the continent of Aue-
RIGA in territory embracing the same area.
But glance at the pauperism and crime exist
ing ia the same area will astound us. The census
marshals return ,966 paupers in the Metro
politan district, wholly or. partially supported
at the public expense during the year. Thus we
see that about one in every ten of our population
wege either wholly or in part supported at thu
public expense. This is independent of Large
number supported by private charity, for
which cur citizens are proyerbial. The num-
Der OF criminals convicted within the year in
the Metropolitan district was 5O,958-thua
showing that crime is q natural attendant upon
poverty.
This magnitude of pauperism and crime
should be looked squarely in the face, asa
thing we do not find to any great extent in the
slve labor States. c~acugs freedom is the
normal condition Of the white man. he drags at
every step the CALLING chain of inferiority in
social life. Here, among one million two hun
dred thousand people, one person in avery tea
Is sholiy or in part aided by public charity.
Would |, not be better to reflect seriously on
this condition Of social life before we make
war on an institution under which the physical
comforts Of the laboring class are well provided
for The fact that within the last quarter of q
centuy the slave population has about
dcubied-lrcresssd from two to four millions
shows Ma Ia physical comforts and general
good .resiment they have little to complain Of.
7nss they are happier taaa the free blacks,
both Norlh and South no one ca, truthfully
ceny; that they are better cared for in sick
Dess, have more Of the necsssaries Of life, than
the great body Of the lsboring white class 10
the free States Is equally evident.

A MAGNIFICENT PLAN.

The New York Courier and Enquirer is a journal
of large newspaporal proportions. It's principal
editor, Gen. James Watson " ebb, is man of large
physical proportions; and the two, the newspaper
and the editor, are worthy of each other. We do
| not know whether this will be received as a COM
| pment or not, hut when we consider the martial
proves and mighty deeds of valor performed by
Gen. Webb on al the battle fields of the Western
hemisphere, we really trust the comparison will
give no offence We have no wish to encounter
the consuming wrath of SO redoubtable military
chiettain.
A large newspaper under the control Of a
physically stnpendous General of war, could not
as matter of course, suggest any plan of military
operations except on q tremendous SCALE Conse.
quently, We were not astonished at finding, in a
late number of the New York Courier and ENQUIRER
the following magnificent outline Of a scheme.
which, If successfully carried oea, would enable
Lincoln to subjugate all the seeded States. Here
it is:
First. Throw into the southern part of Texas, by
sea, the dsposabIc army force and some five tnops
and volunteers in addition.
Second. Call upon the Northwestern States
forthwith TO furnish fifty thousand volunteers to
assemble without delay at the United States
Arsenal at Baton Rouge, first concentrating at
rivers.
Third. Call upon Pennsylvania, New York and
the Eastern States for fifty Thousand volunteers to
assemble without unnecessary delay at Washington.
in the District of Columbia.
Fourth. Commence march with this latter army
to the Southwest, leaving of course, strong force
AZ the seat of Government; and at the same time
9ifect the army of the West, assembled at Baton
rouge, to form a junction with it at Montgomery,
VI any other point that may be deemed advisable

osatss atsehals IN the country through which the
ai.nles may pass and OF conrse taking the neces-
ee'y measures 10 protect the friends of the Union
agi!ust my traitors who may he found in rebellion
against the Government in that quarter
The above scheme is truly and ess ,ntinlly mag.
niicent and sublime, and if Mr.. Lincoln will onIv
adopt it and attempt to put it in practice, as ont
lined, the people of the Confederate States will
readily forgive, so far as they are concerned the
memorable and irrepressible intamy of the Adolf
ton principles he entertains and on which he was
elected. That is all they require, or ever will ask
for. Just throw your disposable army force
and some five thousand volunteers " into Texas
Do it, and you will crafty us inexpressibly.

piness will reach pitch OF eCstacy rarely Voucn-
| safed to mortal men
Carry ont your programme Gen. Webb. Do.
If you will only induce Lincoln to adopt it, and to
try TO carry out, the people of the Confederate
States will cheerfully give you five times the
amount, in hard cash. you received from the old
United States Bank some thirty years ago. And
there shall not be the slightest faint of bribery
about the transaction. 1t shall be purely busi-
ness operation, and the money shall be paid for
valuable services actually rendered. But, really,
we do not think our offer large enough, for we
verify believe JEFF. Davis would pay twenty times
the sum Gen. W. received from the United States
Bank if Gen. W. can make Lincoln attempt to
put his grand plan into practical operation.
Therefore, the General had better try his luck at
Montgomery. By so doing, he may make his
everlasting fortune.
But, We are really fearful Gen Webbs scheme
will not succeed. To raise, equip and feed an
army of one hundred thousand men, and put it in
motion, would require, at the lowest estimate,
fifteen millions of dollars, and to keep the ranks
full, provide the means of transportation, subsst
ence for men and horses, supply the wants created
by casualties, and the numberless losses that
would inevitably follow an active and desperately
contested campaign, would demand an eXpendi-
ture OF at least seVenty-tive millions of dollars per
annunl.
And, if this grand army should be destroyed, and
its property captured by the forces of the Confed
crate States-and the chances are fifty to one that
such would be the case-another army, involving
the same expenditures, destined for the same fate,
would have to be raised and provided for. We do
not believe Lincolu's Government can raise either
the money or the men to practically enforce Gen.
Webb's magnificent enterprise, its credit being
dolefully below par now and growing worse every
day.
Move of the Confederate States are not to
have such good luck as Gen. Webb's programme
would give us. We will have no chance at one
hundred thousand Abolitionists on land, where we
can have fair show for death grapple with
them. They are too cowardly for that. They
may, and probably will, annoy us considerably at
sea, where they have the advantage over us but
we will soon be as ready for them on the watery
clement as we are now for them on land.
