NORTH ANU SOUTH. article from j *[’ lin g NeW? on i 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 States Telegraph. 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 In fact, were the production of cotton to cease, or its use to be superseded, our com merce, foreign and internal,our navigation, and our domestic manufactures, would all be brought to a dead stand.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. S From the Sac York Transcript. 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: Choctaws, 15.000 Apalachicola?, 265 Cherokees. 5.000 Creeks, 2450 Seneca and Shrwariese, 211 Senecas (from Sandusky,) 231 Potowatomies. 141 Peorios and Kaskaskias, 132 Pienkeshawg, 162 Wees, 222 Ottowas, 200 Kickapoos. 570 Shawanees, 1,250 Deiewares, 823 The ax', rage number of an Indian family is four, and from this an estimate may be formed how many warriors can be brought into the field. 1 he names and members of the I ndian tribes resident West of the Mississippi. loways, 12,000 Sacs (ofthe Missouri,) 500 Omalias, 1,400 Ottoes and Miss on rias, 1.600 Pawnees. 10,000 Camanches, 7,000 Madone, 15,000 Mieterees. 15,000 Assmaboins, 800 Crees, 3000 Crosventrcs, 3000 Crows, 45,000 Sioux, 29,000 Quapaw, 450 Caddoe. 800 Poncas, w 800 Usages, 120 Konsas, 1.471 Sacs, 4,800 Arickaras, 3,000 Chazenes, 2.000 Blackfeet, 30,090 Foxes, 1,600 A rpehas and Kea was, 1,460 There are five principal tribes yet remain, ing among the Southern States, estimated thus; Seminoles, 2,420 Choctaws, 3.500 Chickasaw?, 5,239 Cherokees, 10.00 Creeks, 22,668 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.

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.

It was supposed that M de B iiot would hav. to come over in person. Sixty-two persons have been pardoned bv the king of France lor political offences. Tin imprisoned ministers of Chai les tenth, it is said would also be pardoned provided they would ask for the favour. The French papers say that prince Pol'gnac and his companions are to be removed from flam to private houses, where they will siil be kept in confinement, but in mote comfortu b'e and pleasant circumstances than at present, fire prince had consented to petition the king tor mercy, but his fellows would not agree, and he would not separate himself from them. Their refusal grows out of their determinatio not to recog uze the royalty of Louis Philippe. A misunderstanding took place at Smyrna between the French and Amer.can consuls in consequence of an American merchant ves sel having been boaided by a French man-of war’s boat in search of deserters. The Amer ican captain abandoned his ship to the French officer, who carried her into Smyrna. The affair will undoubtedly be made the subject of an investigation by the two govern ments. A Paris paper of October 11th says that the French squadron, under admiral Hugon, which was destined tor the east, is weighing anchor for the coast of Portugal, with instrsetio is to protect French interests and Fix rich citizens in Portugal, and prevent the larding of Don Miguel in that country, and the importation of troops and arms destined for his service. A large amount of hay, it is said, is about to be exported from Scotland to this country. Madrid journals to the sth of October have been received in London. Arguelles, Cantero. Argumoso, Caldero de la Barra, F. Caballero, Dion, Valdes, and Rodriguez Leal are the pro cut adores elected for Madrid. The capital is tranquil.

Mir.a’sdeath is announced but doubt ed io the Gazette de France. , The Cariists made an attack upon St. Sebas tian on th ' Ist of October, and were defeated. General Evans states his loss at 400 men, ; including three officers; and the Carl sts, accor. ding to his repoits, suffered still more severely. Letters from Spain mention that the Cariists, subsequently to the action of the Ist instant, had sent a flag of truce to gen. Evans; which he accepted for the period of three days. Col. Kuby, dangerously wounded on the Ist, is not expected to survive. The same etter estimates the loss of lhe Cariists to be 1160, killed and wounded; and of lhe queen’s troops at 390. The Paris correspondent of the London Courier states that the French ambassador at Madrid is authorized to propose the direct in tervention ofa French army, u ider the French flag, in the affairs of Spain, should the cortes demand it. Twenty.seven peers of Portugal have enter ed their protests against the adoption of the constitution of 1822. The cholera has nearly ceased its ravages in Italy.

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.
