WAS THE SorrH EVE DErF>nFNr oN THE
North The Rev Henry WARD bEtcHFR,
during the last year, delivered on" Of his cha
racteristic TRADES against the South, from
which we make the following extract:

a Northern man Is worth more than the Whole
body OF II master with whip IN hand and
head on which he seems Ia use for little else
than tn hang his hat upon. these threats of
OF The South 10 sec"de are like the meeting Of
paupers in an aims house, and resolving to
Quit the institution If the country docs not

The persistent folly OF men ike BEECHEE,
who actually believed what he here asserts
that the south WAS dependent for ia very ex-
istencc on the North and that she could he in
duced by no consideration oi interest or self
respect Ia dissolve the bands that connected
them. had a tendency IL hasten the cilas-
cumstancos. more than nyliing else that oc-
CURED during the long war Of recrlmina'lon
that preceded it. In view Of the actual facts,
il seems strange to IT, how such int,llnafion
could ever have fastened itslf upon the minds
of men who have been supposed, above all
others, TO act habitually from the prornptings
of interest While BEECHrE was thus in
flaming bis Yankee audience against the
Southern people and dtiuding them into
the belief that separation was impossible, TIE
train bad already been laid, and the match lit.
In few weeks the Union was blown sky
high, and his miserable Gures have ouiy learned,
when il was too late, the utter holloWness of
hi. cause The North has l0si the trade Of the
South forever and we 7hall now have fair
opportunity To which Of The sections can
beat dispense with the assistance OF The other
Ii IA not even necea~ar, 10 wait the slow pro
eress of time; we already know what the
North drew from the Sonlh, and what she was
able to supply from her own resources.
The entire exports of the whole Union
amounted in value annually 10 about S322l, ooo,
90 OF these the Sonih exported IN round
Numbers s150, 900 900 in cotton, tobacco, rice,
sugar, and naval stores. Nearly the whole OF
this expectation W cnt to Europe, and was paid
for, not in gold and silver, but in silks, broad
cloths, wines, and other manufactures. When
these articles thus purchased arrived in
port, they paid duty of - per cent, amount
ing in round numbers. TO S80, 600, 900. The
South owning three fourths of the importa-
ton, paid three tourths of the duty, $50,
900 600 In other words since the Govern
ment was supported almost entirely by duties
upon imports she contributed three fonrths
Of the money required. The North contribu
led but one fourth-that l., $50 900 900, 1t can
he seen at a glance by whom the Government
was chiefly supported The North had popu-
lation of %, 900 600, the South population of
10000, 600 If the Government had depended
Tor support on direct taxes equally and uni
formly laid according to population, the North
would have paid twice as mnch as the South ;
that Ia 70 BAY, she would have paid sol 00O, 900
while the South paid S26,o00,0 600. The system
adopted made the South pay SGo,00O,oOo, while
it exacted from the North only $50 coo, 00o.-
Which party was dependent upon the other -?
The Black Republicans say that the North
paid the largest amount of duties, because 1t
used the largest amonn, of imported goods -
The latter part OF this proposition IL true,
the first false. The North certainly con
sumed two thirds of the imported goods, but
those goods were the property of the South
when the duties were paid on them. After
the duties were paid, the South, not having IA
use for more than onethird Of them, the New
York or other Northern merchants took the
other twothirds. From the sale thus made
the South paid brokers' expenses, and re-
oeived, in lieu OF money foreign goods thus
sold, portion of New England manufactures.

After all this, the Southern man generally
