g o .1ttshow thas South Carolina, as ac separate :State,.will, by a moderate Tarif, de-ite-mpleeyenue for all the purpelss of a new goveinment. and that she will be in a con ditionfo nisintitin her independence and resp-c tjilit# we propose now to consider some of what iay bo deemed the secondary effects of I eay It is urged, that, by insulating ourselves from the *other-Southern States, we will cut off every outlet by -which we might get rid of our slaves. and will thereby bring upon the State the gr, at evils of a redundant and valueless slave popula tion. Let us examine the porceof this argument. Every one knoews that the institutim of slavery is already -restricted to the States in which it now exists-having been. fir all practical purpo sea, excluded not only fgom California. but from, all the newly acquired Territory. The high handed act of injustice and oppression, by which this object was accomplished, having been tamely acquieseed in, will continue as a stern political law, unless resistance to it be yet made by the Southaern people. The other slave States, equal ly with Suuth Carlina. are prevented from car ryina their slaves into these Territories. Know ing then that they, also, have no outliet for their slaves, will not these States be placed under the same necessity as ourselves to guard against over-popul:ation ? They will scarcely have less wisdom or prtcaution than ourstlves. But in self-defence th.-y will, in a short time, be driven to prohibit all further immigration of slaves into their borders ; anl that time cannot be remote; for many of the slave-holdin. States are very-lit tle behind Sotluth Carolina in denseness of poipu latiemn. We have to the sqr. mile only about 20 inhabitante; Georgia has about 16: Keitneky, 21: Tennessee, 121: Alabama. 13: Mir-sissippi. 13; Losimna, 9; Florida. 2: Tex. s,1; A rkan ins. 4. . Georgia, Kenetnieky and Teninessee may. therefore, in point of n1u1mbers, he placed, at this time, on a footing with our State. Alabama. 5Mississippi and Louisiana will, in a very few years. have a population to the sqr. mile equal to that of '4-uth Carolina at prest nt; and will be driven, threeugh fear of relumlancy. to proihibit the furthe.r iiemnigratieon if slaves. Flierida, A rkant sas and1 Texas will then be th.- - nlv outlet for the supposetd surlelus slaves of Virginia, North and South Carltima. Georgia. Kentucky and oth er S'ates. But with the tide likely to pour in up.en them- frem all th--se States, how long would it be before they, also, will be forced to adopt the same law of self-preservatin I It is evident, that when it eince becomes a " fixed fact," that slaves are to be permanently excluded from the new Territories and from California, all the Southern States. laooking to this restriction and to the future increase of their inhabitants, will pro hibit the further immigration of slaves into their borders; and this prohibition will certainly take place, long before there will be a surplus popula tion in South Carolina. Whether South Carolina, therefore, be in a separate condition, ormi a SouthernmConfederacy, so long as slavery shall be excluded- *om' the Territories. she will-have to prof'i&vfor the future increikor thirves? 'Thtere Wllbhe no imaiural outlet f~r-ff~fRenie h'e aramentt pjhsa jectioii to sepatateState secession, falls to the -Bu4 te,.gvile.complained of from the future increase of our slaves, while reetricted to our own limits, will not be, we think. so great as pretended. For a lor.g while, at least, the in crease will be productive~ of the nest benefcial results. We have sufii-red irreatly in wealth and prelsperity byv emiifgraton. A yradual ir(erene of our inhabitants would hut restore us to a h.-alth ful state of ad vancemetnt. There is no "ancer of an eover-population for ce'ntnries. We have seen that the population of Saeuthm Carolinia to the sqr. neile is only 20. This glves ahont 30 acres of land te, every white and black soul in the State. Now here is evidently a erent runern bund ance. Thns is entirely too much hend to the population for a hieh state of rorsperity. What decree of boteulationi is South Canrolina capnbhle of supporting? By the proper cnlture of her soil, and by the development of all her resources. it is fair to assume that she ennbl snstain 250l to the sqjr. mile. England has 300 to the sqr. mile; Tlolland 300: Belgium 330: and all the German States, which are almsost exclusively agricultural and mnanufacturing, have from 100 to 300. Even the Chinese Empire. with its 1.6-1,000 sqr. miles, with scarcely any foreign commere. hits over 130. A neient A ttica with 365,000.slaves, had a population of more than 700 to the sqr mile. Witht her great natural resources-her fertile soil-her rich iron mines her great facilities for every kitnd of manufac ture-and her extensive and growing co~mnmeree: South Carolina will be able easily to sustain a population of 250 to the sqr. mile. This will make space, in the limits of the State for about 8,000,000 of inhabitants. A t present, there are in round numbers 650,000. By a natural increase. how lonw, then. w,.uld it take fear our population to reach 8.000,000 ? The ratio of increase varies in different countries. and in the same country under different circum stances. A sparsely inhabited territory, for in stance, with ample supplies of subsistence, will increase nmoret rapidly than a dlensely peopled country, where supplies are likely to be les bematifuil and where many causes coenspire~ to im pede population. In moswt states oIf this Confed eracy, the pelpuhaioen, including immigration, has doeubald itself every 25 ye are. The increase in South Carolina has been, otn an ave-rage, about 20 per cent. The ratio of inrease in ENGL.AND, sitnc the year 17m81, has been for each decade only 10 per cent. It will be found to be a gener al law that, oewing to a variety of causes, the~ ra tio of increase diminishes as population becomes more dense. Tho~ugh, therceore the ratio in South Carolina might continue, for a terma of years, uniform at 20 per cent. yet when we view the causes that usuahlly retard population, seuch as wars, epidem les, oeliba&ey'diseases induced by trades and manufactures, irregulsritie. and diseases that spring up in crowded cities apd places, tbe emni gratlon that will'take plaeeamong the whites &'., we may conclude thatithe ratio ogf increase will be reduced much below 29 per cent But tak ing 20 per cent. as the uniform ratio, it will he fbund on calculation, that the assumied umaximaum or our population would not be reached till he. yrond the year 2000; anid making due alkowance 5sp6AuIenation in varions wams anfah certain: aepressiot i the ratio -d inerete, not, perfips, till a tditufflater. - .

Whtt means may be emplovyed in otr particular ease, it is not for finite mifid ta conceive. It wold, at all events, from the remoteness of the per.od at which such an event is likely to happen. be an improper subject of diseussion at present. It miust fall to the duty of after generations. under she gu'dance of an all-wise and provident (reator. But it assay well excite our anxiety to know, what will be the piribable eifeels upon our m eWath and prosperity of the itcrease of our population, if restricted to our own borders. We can only see into the future by the lights of the past. It a clear, as population inere:s P, so will also the I.roductive intdtairy of the state. This, as a natural result, will greatly multiply capital among us. And p.h-itical Economy, based on the experience of nations, teaches, that "aceumula ted capital. gradually increasing, is a sure means of furnishing subsistence and for supporting and in-nutaining permanently a moderately increasing population." And this is, also, the strongest evidence of national prosperity. No fears, there fore, need be entertained as to the e'apacity of the 'tate to provide for every reasonable in crease of its population. It is probable. that after a great while, when our numbers shiall have reached several millions, labor becoming clealier, our slaves will, to some extent, de-preciate in value: but, at the same time, by the great improvements in aitriculture, which a dense population always introduces, the value of our lands will be grt ally enhanced ; and large and profitable investments will, also, be nmade in othr r brattehes of industry, as in msanu faturis. cOnsnneree &c., which will nore than colmpensate for the diminu:ion in the value ,of our slaves: while, by this transfer of slave value to objects more affixed to the soil, the re inovil if the slaves fron our limits. should future circumtances render it necessary. will be great ly facilitated, and will be rendered les 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 any con siderable diminution in the value of the slave, nor any necessity for his removal from the State is likely to arise. Who can tell how n-ueh the fertility of our soil may be increased by judicious culture and by the use of manures? It has been found by experience, that a. field, which in. a natural state, produces but 15 bushels of wh.at. nay be made to produce 40. This has been ac tially done in England. Ins one whole county, (olfork) not niaturally very fertile, the average f farms is stid 'to be from 30 ~to 3.S bushels to he aere. Why'may unt the same degr'ee of prb kretion be raesebed in Shuth Carolinat Our oil is nattrally. monferiile that. haf Englanda. his isnproIvement can be .pade, and.it.will be, when necessity urges to it. Suppose then our slaves to be even kept out f the highly profitabte~ enployments of comn nere, mechanies atnd manufactures, and direeted xlusively to agricultural labor, what an im ense yield tnuy rensonably be expected, when ur hands have all been reduced to cultivation and prope.rly improved I The slaves, as they in rese. could of themaselves support the whole hite population of shw State. Ins Greast Britaina, bout 6.(00,000t of agrictiteradl oborers ansd ,anufnturers support by their productive labor4 ahout 10.000.000 of unproductive consin'eers. Why coula1 ntot equal productiveness be realized unong us I On this estimate, S. C'arolina could tinnintain a population of from 10.000,000 to 12,000,~f, and retain her slaves as valuable pros perty. A t all events. we may safe~ly reckon on internal and external resout ces of wealh and pros perity for centuries yet to come. before our slaves ar.' likely to he rendered vaiueless, or before the necessity of their remsoval from natural causes, is likely to arise. 1Tow now. in point of population. would mtat ters be more favorable for us in a Southern Con federeyi RUTI.EDGE.
