Mr. Editor: Fiom the late action of Congress and most- of the Legislatures of the non-slaveholding States, I take It. for granted the Not th will persist in their aggressions upon the South, by ex cluding her from all territory lately ac juired by the blood and sufferir,g of her noble sons; and by abolishing the insti tution of slavery in all other places over which Congress claims to exercise exclu sive jurisdiction. 1 say 1 take it for, granted, because tyranny has rarely been known to relax its hold until bro ken by violence or severed by the sword. I also take for granted, that the South once nearly her equal in numbers, and ever vastly her superior in moral and in tellectual greatness, has not fallen so low, as to submit like a craven to the degradation of having her rights wrest ed from her without a struggle. Under this aspect of the case, a collision seems inevitable-it may be bloodless; but e ith er peaceable or bloody, it ipay sever the bonds of thik Union. It is then ti*M'd fo'r 'ds to throw aside all sickly ien tiniehtality bpn this subject, and look the eVcht boldly in the face. As a ihember of a political partner ship, in'to 'Vhich each State entered as in eAual and sovereign, any State has an unquestionable right to secede peace ably and quietly, wh'enever in her opin ion the infractions of the Constitution have become so flagrant as .to be borne n'd longer with patience, and honor to heiself. This right has never yet been denied in the South-indeed it is insep arable from and Conititutes the chief conservative feature in our admitably framed government. I iepeat, singly this secession can.take place, but jointly with others the pnd In Viewv will be more certainly and efTectball secuied But will the right to resist these aggressions of the North, by the secession of two, three, or even dll tho aggrieied Staiest be peaceably acquiesced in ? It may ber buAntc . ang.ihatit will 4)1. It is scarcely to be hoped that that spir it of fanaticism which burned. witches in New England, and drove Roger W1l llams into exile; and w%hich has at a lat er day mturdered our Southern citizens for claiming their property under the constitution, will relax its hold without a struggle. It is then the part of pru dence to prepare tor the worst--to cal culate the consequencea i,nd !ook to our resources in the evefit of hostile colli sion. Fortunately for our purpose the late report of tit Commission of Pa tents furnishe data upoh which to base a calculation. From this it appears that the population of the slaveholding States proper, leaving out the" breeches pock et," is now as fol!cws: Marylandi 510,000 Virginia, 1,295,000 N. Carolina, 780,000 S. Carorlina; 620,000 Georgia, 825,000 Alabama, 616,000 Mississippi; 670,000 Louisiana, 490,000 Tennessee; 980,000 Kentucky, 870,000 Missuri,589,000 Arkansas, 200000 Texas,150,000 Flotrida, .8,0 Dist. Columbin; 48,000 Tiotal; - 8,842,000 e r an agrgregate of 8,843,000 souls. F Xrom~ this should be de ducted the 3,000, 000 slaves included in tthe ahove esti mate, which wkill ledve 5,843,000 whites. Allowing one-halh of this sunm for fe males, one-ha,.!f of te remainder foi aged, and children ttnable to bedti arms - and we have 1,460,000 fightitng men. But as thtere eVer have been, and evel .will be., tot ies and traitors in evecry con flict for liberty, wve 'may strike out foi this class all 'over one million. In liet of these, howev'er, if necessary, shoolk be added at least 200,000' blacks, who from their known attachment to th,eil :e masters, and their contented and happ) . situations, would be unwilling to aban. - don the first or change the last, and woul ie thefefore, fight bravely on the side o te South. This estimate wotild thte Sgive tus 1,200,000 effective ightting tme .leaving out volunteers from all othte quarters. IWithi this number of g'ood men an - tre, or even the half ol it, if E,u,aw Yorktown, Monterey, Buena Vista, Cha -pultepec and Churubtusco tell not egr gious lies, we should be wholly mnvinc - ble. Then, too, we would be fight in for our rights, our honors and the safet of our wives aind children ; while th North would bo fighting to perpetnat wrong, injustice and villainy. Mer hoever, do' not alone constitute the sit ews of war. Money, arms, provision: ye clothing aad munitions are all neededi such a contest. la this respect, tIhe ad vantage is wholly and entirely ours r all thnse we have, or that which wvi most readily command them in the mar kets of the world, in our Corn, Whent, Rice, Tobacco, Supr and Cotton. Dr. Cartwright, in his able and unanswera ble essay upon ihe subject of Slavery, itifo nis us, that both in the Revolution and War of 1812, the British govern ment under the impression that the South, from her peculiar instittutions" constituted the weaker portion of this Confederacy, directed its attacls par' ticularly to this quarter. But being most signally foiled and unable to understand the why and wherefore thereof, they in stituted inquiries through thir Consuls and secret agents, the sum and iubstance of which wbs embodied in a.pamphlet for the special benefit of the English aristocracy. While in London, a copy of this pamphlet accidentally fell into the leaned gentleman's hands, and ihe re sult of thi' enquiry seems to lav,e led our traniatlantic neighbors to the follow ing very satisfac6rv conclusions I.thai the slave hat an! instidet atutchifg hiri to his master, so very.strong as not to be broken by the hope of freedom itself that sitch is his affection-, so docile and obedient in his disposition in Ais present relation, that during hostile invasions of of the country, he can be safely entrust ed,with the protection of the wife and children, and to some extent the culti vation of the soil, during the master's absence in the field of active service. Consequently that enervation, resulting from the prostration of the Agricultural operations of countries engaged in war, does not result to the same extent where slaves are the labot ers. as in those,where every one is liable to be called into ser vice at'any moment. The necessary result theredf, of this state of things is, that the sinews of way are never exhausted in countries like ours, consequently the war can be in definitely protracted, until the.invadeit themselves are heartily sick of the fruit. less job. So plain is this made by the examplos, c'ted by the IirnerLtauthor rFereedtOnh~ii-o- -can ut-i ther truth. It will be wise for the people of th North to ponder long and well upon thit view of the subject, before they resori to coercion to keep the South in at Union rendered odious by their oppres sions. To dissolve this Union is possible but to drive the South back wlen onc< she hms seceded, or subdue her even, i wholly impossible. The North has no the men, nor have they the imonoy. 11e prosperity, as well as the prosperity o the whole world, is mainly based upoi the staples of the planting States. Le the usual supply be cut off even for ; single year, and she will have enough ti do to control her own turbulent popula tion of Agrarians, Communists and dis charged flactory operatikes, without at tempting to subdue a distant, mucl wronged but chivalrous peol>le. Bu let this supply be whdlly and entirel, cut off, and their beautifil and tlhrivin villages, built up wit It the legilized plun der of the South; will soonn put on th tattered garments of decay, and he cities now so full of the busy hun c commerce, will .re long become onil "dens of thieves." The SOuth tl:cn h; iwibing to fear frnmn the North ini th event of separation.' She cannot be cc erced by ull the powers of christendon if arrayed agarinst her. If attentpte however, a sitngle canmpatign will satisi the valiant invaders of her soil. Suc mten ni fidhercd .at Cerro Gordo an Chipuhtepec would never gain lamure'ls i such a contest, I am well assured. The maareh would be like that of the King< Spain; when with ''Full ien thounsenid men. lIe miarched them up a hilt and tlien niarcI ed downs agaimn." Or, petrhaps, like that of Paddy froi the "'prattie p,atch,"' back again in doi ble quick time. I repeat, we have noti ing to fear fi' Northern valor; ba have much to gain besides our rights,1 a pecuniary point, from separation. Let us then, like the old Retoutionali fathers, cease to look upon Disunni Iwith fear and trembling, but rather as redemption from bondage. 1L.

The North; and even many inl South, ha;ve assumed a decline in niano factuies and commerce, to be a decline of gener;il prosperity. This is an r-rr.r. The policy of the Federal Government, and the domestic institttions of the Soutlhrn States, have indeed been un favorable to ihb lattet in dhdse pursuits, but the agriculture of the South has maintained and advanred in prosperity beyond that of any other people. "Let us first eiamine the condiion of the white peopl ofihe two sections. . "The State of Massachusetts, fot in stance, is geneially regarded as one of the most successful and flourishing of the North and is contstantly referred to by the newspapers as a model for all the others, and very frequently as a tatunt to the Southern. If, however, we com) r pare this favorite of the Noith, with Maryland, a gouthern State of similar territotial extent, and one of the least s Southern gtates, we shall fir,d the latter . to be decidedly superior ii weahl in proportion to the number of her citizens. According to the census of 1840, Mary land had a tree population of 380,282, and in 1847 her property das assessed at $202,272,650. Massachusetts in 1840 had a poprikation of 737,699, and her property now is only $300,000,000. rTaking these t.wo assessments as the - basis of compat ison, and it appears that the aberage property of a free person im Maryland das $531, oliilst in Massa' chosetts it is nowv, in the palmiest days shte has eirer seen,.only $406 per head -the freeman oif Maryland being about .55 per cent. ihe cicher , The States of New York and Virginia tare lioth of great territorial extit, ant niiot :naj'erialI# iineq'utal in that respect -Now York irialso regaided habitually yas one of the grandest pi-oducis of frei iinstitutions-and the present condinior of Virginia is continually referred to, a a striking n in elancholy' result of sla very: Her pooerty, her ignorance, he idleness, her decay, and her ntisery ar the thireadbare topics of modern pohutca phioso hiere and abrotad. Let u~ now consides the facts. IIer free popu ltion in 1840, according to the census a as 790,8101, aimd her property is not -about $600,000,000. The poptilao - of New York in 1840' was 2,428,921 e and in 1847 her property wa's asses "sud at $632,699,993. Tho averag ,property of a fiee wvhite person in Yii ' ginia is $7518; in New York it is oni t$260, or a little more than one-third. it "Virginia instead of being poor, ar c-in need of til e pity of the much poor' population a the Nor:h, is perhaps il ichesr com tinity in the wvorld. TI 'e average *e th of the people of Gre ritain mayne buan,tt the same,- but it not near so pr6ductive, and I think it demonstrable that no people .on- earth live in a condition of greater -comf6rt .ancf enjoyment than those of Virginia'. Nor is there any reason to fear a decline in her wealth. A ccording to the census returns of 1840, Virginia,. with a popu lation of less than- one-third of that of New York, atd a dapital something les, produced from'the %arious bran'chei of her industry. more than half th'e product of Newv:Yorkl and as the total popula., tion of Viiginia,slave and free, is only about half that of New York, it' is clear that, after deducting tihe annual consump tion of both, Virgihia will have a la1ger proportional surplus remaining to aug ient the stock of her-permanent pro perty. - * t re* dtve "Ifn6w we cxamine the reldt.Ve Con. dition of'the new States the same results are apparent. The States of Kentucky and Phio lie side by side, and .are of similar climate, fertility and cxtent the proportion of rich land being, how ever, less in Kentucky. - Their age is aso.nearly the same, Kentucky having been admitted as a State about eleven years before Ohio. O'hio is corisidered the most prosperou.s.State in the lWest,. and.is continually conitasted with.Ken tuckyf6i the ptrpose of illustrating the blighting effects 'of slavery on ffie latter. Let us see what reason. 'In,1840, Kentucky had a free popu lation of 597,570, and property amounts, according to- her tax assessmenof 1848, to -about 272,847,696. Ohio, in 1840, had a population of 1,519,457, and.her ssessment last year wat$421,067,991. The average- value of property belong ing to each free' person m Kentucky is $456-in Ohio it ii dnly.$27$, or more ilan'on.-thi6rd 1ess; and-as the popula tion of Ohio is, riowv still greater in-pro portion to that of Kentucky than in 1840, the dift!ren'e'in favor of the jttei is still more. "Nothing-is mo.e conimon than the r!tinti. w:f lan i d n.Ken. much lower than in Ohio. I have ex nmined :he Auditor's reports of both States, which present in detail the valua tion of all their lands. In Kentucky the average value is aboit seven dollars per acre, in Ohio it is about eleven, and I an very confident that the quality of Ohio land is to that eitent superior; as itn Ktu :ky there is a large mountain region tor whiich Ohio has nothing etuiv alert. Thus, then, it i5i manifest that the free people of thes!aieholding States -of those States whiih are unifo:mly regarded as ihe victims ot poverty and ruin-are all richer, much richer,. than those of the non-slaveholding States which have been usually considered as the most tlourishing nwnbeis of this conederacy, and the most prosperous communtis the wur!d ever saw. Such at least is the testimony of official docu ments on the subject-the highest au thoriv that exists. For 1. have taken nearly all these btatements of the pro perty of the States alluded to, from the assessments made by public officers, for the collection of taxes. Of the accuracy of the valuations, it is of course impos sible tu speak froni personal knowledge; ut those of Ohio and Kentucky are, ac, cordIng to my opportunities of obset va ion, as ne'ily correct as need be de sired. Aiid as to the other States the cimances of error are perhaps as great on one side as the other. "In the slaveholding States, slavs are of course included in the p)roperty. This is sometimes objected to, but I tink witiout reason. .The question is, which is the miost profitable investmet of capital--in land and slaves-as h usual in the slaveholding States-or ir land alone, or commerce and matnufac. tures, as in the Northern States I Ani this question is almost universally deci ded in favor of the latter. In the Sotith. accoiding to its laws, the slave is a~ available to huis owner for the purpose ,of property, as any other prope: t. Th ,North hias hocld, hovdever, that this pecu liar species of property, instead of beini prfitable to the owner, has been im s poerishirig andi ruinous. And in con tradiction to this I have shown that h r every comrmunitf ivhere it edists thter a wealth abounds to a fa r greater exten I than in the States from which. it is ex s cded,whateYer may~ be their .chmr~ ,te - soil, or ter:itory. But even if the~ as -sessed value of all thie slaves in Ken: tulsy, Virginia; and Maryland, were lei n out of thie schnedule of their property, th ,white people of those States would re main Wvehithier, on an average, tha e those of Ohio, New York, and Massa - chsetts. y . "By others again it is cotntended, th~ in estimatitng the average wealth of in d dividuals in a community, the slavi 'r ought to be included as petsons, ad he e out as property. Titis, I think, is als t an error, for the teason before state, at Where it is contende d that the whi is .mn ought to abandon shaves, bcedu: they keep him poor,or prevents nim from getting rich, iL islibsurd to assert.that hC not only has pr6ierty in .his ilave, but that other property b'elongs equally to -him. But if for an7 othler,purpose or ''. view 6f yoliti**al economy, the sla e b. - included with the freeiian in averaging the property of A State, it will even then appear qthat in 'the Staiei I have cons sidered the Southern a're still wealthier than the Northern, counting the slave-** as perions and deducting them from the - property. So tihat iii.n o aspect of the qtiesfi6ji whate'ver, ii there ainy founda< tion in fact for the p'opular delusion, that the Sotuthern Stites, o'r any'of them, are itfier n6w 'r.heretofdre,.o'r likely to be liereafrer, inferior t their Northeri neighbors in wealth- hut the' reverse."
