NORTH ANU SOUTH.

the to a conti hu-;
ation of the union with the South. Ihe j
article shows that there are some persons |
at the North who are fully sensible of how i
much the interests of that section are de
pendent on its connection witi. the South.
Satisfy the North fully of that, and we shan
see no measures taken byjAheni that will
lead to a severance of the union. Inter
est is too powerful even for fanaticism : at
least it checks its growth so as to render
it little noxious. The danger is, that mis
taken notions of interest may combine with
fanaticism, and thus produce the most
reckless and remorseless of agitations; for
what barrier of humanity, morals, or i eli
gion, ever stood in the way of a coinoina
tion of avarice and fanaticism ( Let ava
rice see that for its gratification the best
plan is to let things alone, and fanaticism
may howl its strains unheeded. — I nited

The production of Cotton.—Cotton
is the great staple production of American
agriculture. It furnishes four-fifths of the
whole means by which we are enabled to
pay for our importations. Without it, we
should no longer be able to consume the
delicious and exhilarating products of the
vineyards of France and Portugal, or the
costly and elegant fabrics of European
looms and workshops. Even the more
necessary articles, for which we arc chief
ly dependent on foreign nations, such as
hemp, iron, specie, sugar, coffee, spices,
and salt, we pay for by our cotton crop.
In fact, were the production of cotton to
cease, or its use to be superseded, our com
merce, foreign and internal,our navigation,
and our domestic manufactures, would all
be brought to a dead stand. It is an in
terest which needs no encouragement, for
it has no competition. All the predictions
about the rivalry of the East Indies and
of Brazil have been falsified, and the cot
ton of the United States is in greater de
mand than ever. Its price, too, has been
maintained and increased in all the mar
kets of the world, during the last two or
three years, though every wiseacre of a
business man, more than once, in the mean
time, predicted its fall. The Messrs. Bar
ings, we have occasion to know, wrote co
vertly to some of our largest cotton ship
pers, two years since, warning them against
shipping cotton at the existing prices, which
they said could not be maintained. But
the price rose higher and higher, though
the amount of production was. meanwhile,
increased by forty per cent. In fact.it
appears that the production of the article
cannot be increased equally fast with the
comsumption. Cotton is taking the place
of linen, hemp, silk, and wool, in all man
ner of fabrics, or is mixed up with them;
and the comparative cheapness, as well as
excellence of fabrics composed wholly or
in part of cotton, renders it a favorite ma
terial with all mankind.
Important as is this noble product to '
American industry and independence, and •
essential as it is to the prosperity, if not to •
the very existence, of this our great com- I
mercia! emporium, it is somewhat marvel-1
lous that so many of our citizens prate
about slavery as a political evil, and af
ford encouragement and countenance to
schemes which, if they resulted in aboli
tion, would put an end to the culture of
cotton in the South, and, in fact, to any
other kind of industry. But abolition will
not be the result of northern interference.
The great and powerful States, from the |
river Potomac to the Sabine, and from the
Atlantic to the Ohio and the Missouri, em
bracing two-thirds of the whole territory
of the United States, will not tolerate even
a movement towards abolition. But they
will do this—they will dissolve their con
nection, political and commercial, with the
northern and northwestern States; or. in
other words, eject them from the confed
eracy. What, then, would become of
New England and of New York ? What
would be the condition of this proud city?
The whole course of trade would be chag
cd. The advantages given to northern
commerce, navigation, and manufactures,
by our laws, to which the generous South
has submitted too long for her own pros
perity. will be withdrawn and discontinu
ed. Our looms will stand still, and our
ships must rot at our wharves. Our mer
chants must cease to import goods, for
which they have no market, for the North
cannot pay forthem; and the South will be
supplied through other channels. New
England will be reduced to a much worse
situation than that which she occupied be
fore the revolution; for then she had what
now she cannot have—the privilege of a
direct trade to the English West Indies,
and a lucrative African slave trade, which
were the sources of her ante-revolutiona
ry prosperity, and the foundation of the
largest individual fortunes which her en
terprising citizens have ever accumulated.
Iler busy work shops will dwindle down
into the simple and useful handicraft of
horse-shoeing, cobbling, and mending a
few of the geoponical instruments where
with the hard working and priest ridden,
but honest yeoman will till his barren and
rocky acres. These, and a few fisher
men’s huts, sparsely scattered along the
coast, will be all that a few years will leave
of the now boasted wealth, and enterprise,
and glory of the yankee nation.
It is the slave labor of the South, and the
exclusive enactments in favor of northern
commerce, navigation, and manufactures,
which have enriched the North; and upon
these does northern prosperity almost en
tirely depend. Travel, if you please, from
Montreal or St. Johns to Hartford, and
from New York to Buffalo, and from Phil
adelphia to Milwaukie, and if you can dis
cover, on your whole route, one single ar
ticle which is raised or made for exporta
tion to Europe or the East Indies, you will
find what we were never able to find. At
the same time, you will see luxury and ex
travagance in every city and village; you
will see stores filled with the most costly
articles of foreign growth, which these peo
ple consume, but for the payment of which
they huve not contributed one cent. They
have sent some few of their notions to the
South, and have enjoyed a monopoly of
southern commerce, under acts of Con
gress. by which means they have been able
to draw into their own pockets almost the
whole avails of southern slave labor.
What have they left to the planter and
«|ave owner ? Not m >re than enough -
nay, not enough comfortably to feed and
clothe his slave, in order that he may con
tinue, by his lab >'• in the cotton field, to
fatten and enrich the northern capitalist
and artizan, and to swell the insolence and
vain-glory of the self-righteous and pha
risaic abolitionist.
For want of time, we can pursue the
topic no farther at present; but. when we
resume it. it is our intention to present
what seem to us some very important con
siderations connected with llm production
of cotton, and its probable, influence on our
political relations.
Exports ami Imports ofthe United. Stiles.—
In the space of some forty-five Years the value
of the exports of the United Staleshave increa
sed from the sum of some 819.000.000 to th ■
present enormous amount of some $128,000,
(100. In the year 1701, the imports into th-.-
U. States were valued at $19’,823,000, at
present they reach 8150.000.000.
From the same freriod cotton dates its cul
tivation in our country, a.id independent of the
millions ol bides exported, it is said that at
least $40,000,000 is chiefly mested in its
manufacture in some 800 factories in our own
country. The internal improvements which
during the same period have been effected
throughout the Union, exhibit alike the ama
zing enterprise a'.d growth ofthe United States.
Independent ofturni ikes mid APAJamizcd
roads, upwards of2ooo miles of rail roads, and
3000 miles of canals have been constructed,
in all of which have b,;e.i invested upwards of
$120,000,000. .These too, have all been main
ly constructed since the year 1817, and in
which tint", be it remembered, the country has
linqnidated a debt of the same amoirit, viz.
$120,000,000. — Setr. Orleans Bulletin.

Tine Aborigdiies.
j Like thesettmg sun, the Indians recede far-
I ther and farther to the west, bat unlike the lu-
I minary of nature, they never appear again in
! the east. The bayonet, the rifle, ami the whis
| key bottle are the arms which the whites make
l use of to extermi litre, and no idea can be form-
I cd of the dreadful potency of these enemies of
I destruction. Where violence and carnage
I are not sufficiently speedv and wide spread in
their operation, diplomacy is called into requi
sition, and treaties of cession are entered into
with them for the surrender of their homes,
their hunting grounds, and the tombs of their
fathers. For an i'.adetpiatc, or, in fact, no
consideration at all. they are cajoled into ap
proving these document, which they but im
perfectly understand, and whose instant ex
ecution is insisted upon as the white man is
greedy of their acres, and dreads their neigh
borhood. The measures taken fortheir ccnr;
pulsory removal are resisted by them, and a
sanguinary contest is the result. What orig
inated m cupidity must be carried through
from necessity, and the expatriation or exter-
| mination ofihe rod man becomes an inevitable
i and imperious duty, after he has been provoked
I bayoad the limits of patience, and after the
i outrages he has undergone, leave no room lor
j reconciliation, and no confidence in a hollow
I and precarious truce.
| Such is the brief epitome of the intercourse
i of the settler and the Indian, since the former
i first intruded uno i the domains of the latter,
j and gradually encroached from the sea shore
I to the interminable and eternal forests of the
i VVest. driving the aboriginal occupant from
j the St. Lawrence to the .Mississippi, from the
I ocean to the With'acoochie.
Hundreds ot tribes have disappeared from
the face of the country, like the woods and
forests that once over-canopied the soil, and
the comparison ofthe numbers that once erect
ed their wigwams where our cities and villa
ges are now located, followed the chase where
the husbandman pursues his avocations, and
launched their frail canoes where the stupen
dous steamboats ilv like birds upon their course
—would be an interesting but distressing docu
ment. We should like to contrast it with a
statement we have recently seen, which gives
an estimate of the remnant of some of those
famous tribes whose names are interwoven
with our history, as enemies or allies—in eith
er case equally destructive to the Indian.
The tribes formerly resident to the North
of the Mississippi, but who have emigrated to
the West of that river:

how many warriors can be brought into the
field.

Dr. Franklin, whose opinions on life and
maimers are the result of cb'ke observation and
sound principle, has given us a moral code, m
the following epitome:
Temperance.— Eat not to fulness—drink not
to elevation.
Silence. — Speak not but what may benefit
others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
Order. — Let all your things have their pla
ces; let each part ofyour business have its lime.
PesoZuZzoq.--Reso ve to perform what you
ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
frugedity.— Ji/ake no expense, but do good
to others or yourself; that is. waste nothing.
Industry.— Lose no time; be always employ
ed i 1 something useful; cut of; all unnecessa
ry actio s.
Sincerity.— Use no hurtful deceit; think
in locenlly and justly; and if jou speak, speak
accordi gly.
Justice.— Wrong none bv doing i< juries, or
oini 'i g the benefits that are our duty.
Moderation.— Avoid extremes; forbear re
senting injuries.

I have just received an imcmmt of them-

j and abiiut GOO. vrmed peasants, who had come
...ish.iie ibj c,,mb;:t, from I rim, Fontarabia,
i ■ r ..nt, and oiher neighboring villages. Two
' oattidions first attacked and seized upon tile
■ point oi La Antigua, without meeting with
' much resistance-- General Jauregui, with a
! strut g tmee, arrived and after driving hence
the Carusts, fixed himself and his troops at
I the point.
This was merely an episode of the combat,
j which was carrying on through the whole
tine. Giubelaid’sother two battalions, sus
tainen by the armed peasants advanced with
i trepidity tad attacked the tort of Alza, which
was defended by the English, who ha . 'st.ab
lished there six pieces of their best aiiiflery.
which produced the mosttei rific effects. The
Carlists displayed here all their means, and
performed prodigies of valor and intrepidity.
I f the attack was fierce, the defence was not
I?s so. Two Navarrese battalions arrived
during the action from Tolosa, and in spite of
heir fatigue immediately joined the combat
ants, and ably seconded the last attack. The
Carbsts advanced four times against the Eng
lish artillery, which they approached near
enough to touch the cannons with their bayo
icts. The English kept up a continual fire,
nd forced them to recede in disorder, and at
length to retreat which they did in good order,
and not as if they were vanquished. The
Scotch battalions uursued them, but unsuccess
fully.
'Flits day has been most bloody, and will rank
with the itfl iir of M ay. The loss on both sides
tias been considerlibie, and both parties behav
ed with equal valour. Several chiefs
have been killed or wounded. The English
have lost some officers, amongst others a col
' o.iel. It is said that general Evans was woun
l.'d in the arm.
rhirty-five peasants from Irun, Fontarabia,
i.id Ov.irztin were killed or wounded. These
brave men have paid a tribute to their courage,
mil these towns are in mourning. The Scotch
battalions’ loss was very great, in their attempt
o drive the Carlists from a position, and then
pursuing them in their retreat. The two Nav
irrese battalions, who made four attacks on
i he fort of Alza, have suffered the most.
After the engagement, both parties returned
to their respective posts* The Uhristinos’loss
