South has an immense surplus eovsrna,at
expenses
Another view Of The true relations Of ths
two sections 10 also worthy Of . passing nosiee.
because tho Abolition press Of tho North hss
tor the past few years been bul;ly instillins
into the northern mind, ths absurd idea that
the North has supported the South, and paid
the expenses Of the government ehisny y.-
Every person who would bs wsll iaferusd
upon the causes Of the greatness The gram
dsar snd the prosperity ef h;s eeaasr,,
should invsstigats With sandsr .svsey prin-
ciple involved in it, sdninistrstieo. Now.
none will attompt to deny, that our eovsru-
mental expenses thus far have bssa raid
chiefly upon duties collected upon i.pors.
And upon what ere the imports Of . eoun.
try based. Sh,uld appeal to any Of the
farmers Of Northern lowe to lear, sonethiae
Of the amount in value Of imported eoods
and Of the nscssssriss, or luxusiss Of Elb
with which he could supply bic family for
tho next ten years. or even on year, like Q
sensible man, he would infaxm ne that Q
correct aa'wss to that question, depsadea
entirely upon his success in farming, OF -
other words, upon The amount In value d
produce hs might raise, beyond what woald
be necessary for home consumption. Aad
this is imports upon small seals, il.
volviss precisely the same principles With
On individual, ~ with nation. Hence, ~
see that the amount Of ofimports brought iatc
= country ID controlled in measure, BY tho
ability Of that country to pay and that il
pay consists Of exports. Consequently al
'mpor's are bassd upon exports !; and thus il
is the exports really, instead Of the ;mpo,ss,
that pay the revenue for the goods import
ed into any country are but the rsprsssnts-
tive Of the exports, and could not exiss
without them. 1fany person doubts this lss
him look at Africa for instance With its so,-
600, 900 souls; it has no exports. and con.e-
qucntly no imports ever arrive there, while
its capacity is nearly double that of the Unit
ed States, If Numbers alone represented the
ability of people to .mport goods and BE-
come consumer Of tho products OF other
nations. And the Same general truth holds
good ofevery people, too barbarous, or too
indolent to be producers they can never
consume largely Of the products of other
more Industrious and more enssrprisine ns-
tions.
AN ABOLITION ERROR.
Another grave error Of abolition writer's iA
to compare slave and free labor, to show the
Of the latter over the former. But
did the people ever stop to reflect that they
never institute comparison between free
negrs, and negro s'acs labor. White men
are tho superiors f negroeA and Of course
their labor IL superior to negro labor, in all
latitudes whore it is safe for white men 70 ID.
Dor. But pray, Mr. Abolitioniss, tell us II
you please how the products ofthe free labor
Of 5o,Oeo, GOO negroes in the junglss Of Aft:.
CO compares with that of 100000 Of negro
slaves in the United States. The test quss-
ton is are tho Southern States more produce
tive with forced negro labor, than is Africa
with free negro labor Or tell Us if you
will what Africa has wishlwhieh 10 buy the
baubles her people seem 20 much to desire,
but the negroes she voluntarily disposes Of
in supplying the slave ships Of not only New
England but of all nations with their victims.
We often hear abolition orators, and con-
steotly sec in the abolition pross, assertions
that free labor is cheaper than slave; and
evidence has induetrieusly been sought for in
the British colonies 70 show that tho labor
of the emancipated negro there, 10 cheaper
than that ofthe slave. In desse populations
like the Manchester district, and in the coal
regions Of England, whore the question IL,
WORK or srAsvE, the proposition is generally
true, because the amount invested either il
purchasing or raising laborsrs is, nscessar-
lily 80 much added to the cost of food and
clothing, which al must have, whether bin4
or free, and which is al that conpstitiea
and necessity under such circumstances,
leave to the free laborsr. It may not hs i'm
proper in this connsxisn, 70 show the opialons
of English suthors upon the works Of France,
and Great Britain in emascipating the neg.
roes Of Hayti and Janaoia.
