SEPARATE STATE SECESSION
PRACTICALLY DISCUSSED IX A
SERIES OF ARTICLES.
'nblisked Originally in ihe Edgefield Advertiser,
BY RUTLBDQE.
NcTm.
Vhe effects of separate Stale secession on slave
population.
Having sought to show that South Carolina,
ic n aort.ii'iifu Xfnfn will Viv n iiirkflpr;ito Tjirifl'
lorive ample revenue for all the purposes of a
iew government, and that she will be in a conlition
to maintaiu her independence and reipectability,
we propose now to consider some
>f what may be deemed the secondary effects
>f secession.
It is urged, that, by insulating ourselves from
he other Southern States, we wilTcut off every
>utlet by which we might-get rid of our slaves,
md will thereby bring upon the State the groat
>vils of a redundant and valuless slave population.
Let us examine the force of this argunent.
Every one knows that the institution of
ilavery is already restricted to the Stairs in
vhich it now exists?having been, for all praclcal
purposes, excluded not only from Caliornia,
but from all the newly acquired Terriory.
The high-handed act of injustice and
>ppression, by which this object was accomjiished,
haviug been tamely acquiesced in, will
mutinue as a stern political law, unless resisauce
to it be yet made by the Southern people,
rite other slave States, equally with South Caolina,
are prevented from carrying their slaves
uto these Territories. Knowim/ then that tflev.
O #
dso, have no outlet lor their slaves, will not
hesc States be placed under the .same necessiy
as ourselves to guard against over-populaion
? They will scarcely have less wisdom or
irecautiou titan we have. But in self-defence
hey will, ia a short time, be driven to prohibit
ill further immigration of slaves into their borlers;
and that time cannot be remote; for maiy
of the slave-holding States are very little
ichind South Carolina in deuseness of populaion.
We have to the square mile only about
50.inhabitants; Georgia has about 16; Kenuoky,
20; Tennessee, >54; Alabama, 13; Misissippi,
13; Louisiana, 9; Florida, k?i; Texas,
; Arkansas, 4. Georgia, Kentucky and
lenncssee may, therefore, in point of numbers,
>e placed, at this li.ue, on a footing with our
State. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
vill, in a very few years, have a population to
he square mile equal to that of South Carolina
it present; and will be driven, through loar of
c-dundancy, to prohibit the.further immigration
if slaves. Florida, Arkansas and Texas will
hen bo the only outlet for tho supposed sur>lus
slaves of Virginia, North and South Caro- inn,
Georgia, Kentucky and other States. But
vith the tide likely to pour in upon them from
til these States, how long would it be before
hey, also, will he forced to adopt the same
aw of self-preservation ? It is evident, that
vheii it once becomes a "fixrd fact," that slaves
ire to be permanently excluded from the new
Territories and from California, all the .Southern
States, looking to this restriction and to the
uture increase of their inhabitants, will prolibit
the further immigration of slaves into their
jorders ; and this prohibition will certainly take
dace, long before there will be a surplus popuation
in South Carolina.
Whether South Carolina, therefore, be in a
eparate condition, or in a Southern C'onfedera:y,
so long as slavery shall bo excluded from
be 'Territories, sbo will have to provide for the
uture increase ol her slaves. There will be no
latural outlet for them. Hence the argument
is an objection to separate State secession,
alls to the ground.
But the evils complained of from the future
ncrease of our slaves, while restiictcd to our
>wn limits, will not be, we think, so great as
iretended. For a long while, at least, the in:rease
will he productive of the most beneficial
esults. We have suffered greatly in wealth
ind prospeiity by emigration. A gradual in

o a healthful state of advancement. There is
10 danger of an over-population for centuries.
iVe have seen that the population of South Caoliua
to the square mile is only 20. This
;ives about 30 acres of land to every white
md black soul in the State. Now here is evilently
a great superabundance. This is enirely
too much laud to the population for a
ligh stato of prosj?erity. What degree of popilation
is South Carolina capable of supportng
? By the proper culture of hor soil, and by
he development of all her resources, it is fair to
issume that she could sustain 250 to the square
nile. England has 300 to tho square mile;
Holland 300 ; Belgium 330; and all the Gernan
States, which are almost exclusively agrijultural
and manufacturing, have from 100 to
100 Ev?n tho Chinese Empire, with its 1,040,000
square miles, with scarcely any foriign
commerce, has over 130. Ancient Attica
with 305,000 slaves, had a population of more
ihau 700 to the square mile. v> itu tier great
tatural resources?her fertile soil?her rich
:ron mines?her great facilities for every kind
of manufacture?and her oxtensivo and growing
commerce: South Carolina will he able
aasily to to sustain a population of 250 to the
square mile.
This will make space, in the limits of tho
State for about 8,000,000 of inhabitants. At
present, there ure in round numbers 650,000.
% a natural increase, how long, would it tako
for our population to reach 8,000,000? Tho
ratio of increase varies in aincreni countries,
and in the same country under different circumstances.
A sparsely inhabited territory,
for instance, with am pi 9 supplies of subsistence,
will increase more rapidly than a densely peopled
country, where supplies are to be less
bountiful and where many causes conspiro to
' impede population. In most States of this
Confederacy, the population, including immigration,
has doubled itself every 25 years. Tlit
increase in South Carolina has been, on an
average, of ten years, about 20 per cont. The
ratio of increase in England, since the year
1 1781, has been for each decade only 10 per
cent. It will be found to be a general law
that, owing to a variety of causes, the ratio of
I increase diminishes as population becomes moj e
| dense.
Though, therefore the ratio in South Caroli|
na continue, for a term of years, uniform at 20
per cent, yet when we view the causes that
I ?\Arvnl.ilInn AC (IfilfC Ohi/Lm
USUttllJ l cms u> pUjiUia'iUUj outu no nuioj vpiu^ui*
ics, celibacy, diseases induced by trades and
manufactures, irregularities and diseases that
spring up in crowded cities audnlaces, the emigration
that will take place adtong the whites
&c., we may conclude that the ratio of increase
will be reduced much below 20 per cent. But
taking 20 per cent, as the ratio, it will be found
on calculation, that the assumed maximum of
population would not be reached till beyond
the year 2000; and making due allowance for
depopulation in various ways, and for the certain
depression in the ratio of increase, not,
perhaps, till a century later.
But it may be asked, what is to be done
when the maximum is reached ? It would be
useless to attempt to devise ways and means
for the objects of remote posterity : ?"sufficient
for I lie (lay is llie evil thereofbut we may well
| conclude that our destiny will be that of other
nations which have had, and which are yet to
experience a surplus population. Providence,'
in his beneficent purpose, usually sustains a
1 just ratio between subsistance and population;
| and when by bad governments, or natural causes,
that proportion is destroyed, Hn rarulyl
i fails to plan measures either to prevent, or to
provide for the surplus inhabitants of a country.
What means may bo employed in our
particular case, it is not for finite mind to conceive.
It would, at all events, from the remote1
- *i _a l. ;0
j nuss OI lliu pt*nou ill wmuu 3UUU ail wcuv n
likely to bapj>cn, bo an improper subject of discussion
at present. It must fall to the duty of
alter generations, under the guidance of an allwise
and provident Creator.
But it may well excite our anxiety to know,
what will be tho probable effects upon our
wealth and prosperity of tho increase of our
population, if restricted to our own borders.?
We can only see into tho future by.the lights
of the past. It is clear, as population increases,
so will also the productive industry of the
State. This, as a nntural result, will greatly
multiply ctrjtilal among us. And political Economv,
based on the experience of nations,
teaches, that ''accumulated capital, gradually
increasing, is a sure means of furnishing subsistence
and for supporting and maintaining
permanently a moderately increasing population."*
And this is, also, the strongest evidence
of national prosperity. No fears, therefore,
need be entertained us to the capacity of the
State to provide for every reasonable increase
! of its population.
It is probable, that after a great while, when
I our numbers shall have reached several millions,
I labor becoming cheaper, our slaves will, to some
extent, depreciate in vulue; but, at the same
time, by the great improvements in agriculture,
which h dense population always introduces,
the value of our lands will bo greatly enhanced
; and large and profitable investments will,
also, be made in other branches of industry, as
in manufactures, commerce, &c., which will
more than compensate for the diminution in
the value of our slaves; while, by this transfer
of slave valuo to objects more affixed to the
soil, the removal of the slaves from our limits,
should future circumstances render it necessary,
will b? greatly facilitated, and will be rendered
less burdenous to the slave owner and
to the State.
But for a great length of time, owing to the
peculiar products of our soil, neither auy considerable
diminution in the value of the slave,
j nwr any necessity for his removal from the State
is likely to arise. Who can tell how much the
fertility of our soil may be increased by judicious
culture and by the use of manures t It
has been found by experience, that afield, which
in a natural state, produces but 15 bushels of
wheat, may be made to produce 40. This has

county, (Norfolk) not naturally very fertile, the
aveiage of farms is said to be from 30 to 35
bushes to the acre. Why uiay not the same
degree of productiveness be reached in South
Carolina / Our soil is naturally mvo fertile
than that of England. This improvement can
be made, and it will be, when necessity urges
to it
Suppose then our slaves to be even kept out
of the highly profitable employments of commerce,
mechanics and manufactures, and directed
exclusively to agricultural labor, what
an immense yield may reasonably be expected,
when our lands have all been reduced to cultivation
and properly improved ! The slaves, as
they increase, could of themselves support the
whole white |>opulation of the State. In Creal
Britain, about 0,000,000 of agricultural laborers
and manufacturers support by their produc>

consumers. Why could not equal productiveness
be realized among us ? On this estimate
South Carolina could maintain a population o
from 10,000,000 to 1*2,000,000, and retain hei
slaves as valuable property. At all events, \v<
may safely reckon on internal and external re
sources of wealth and prosperity for centuric
yet to come, belbro our slaves are likely to bi
rendered valueless, or before the necessity o
their removal from natural causes, is likely t<
arise.
