The history of this country, aud, perhaps. the
history of the world, furui#hc* ho parallel u> the
material prosperity now enjoyed by the Southern
people. We apeak Motrin tfete comparison, of aris
oeffoeiea, privileged ardors A a., but of the mil
lion-*-thc iniio. W" 1 uvtdeucu# of tins gratify
ing truth ore ofrjiurem everywhere. There is mo
branch .f industry. no deparunout of business
which has not, tor the tout twelve monUis, yiuMod
remunerating dividends to those*wh> have been
employed therein. Kvery honest qoeupatiou,
founded upon she wants of society has thriven
abohdau tly.
Kspei-ially in this assertion applicable to the
cotton growing section of the South. Aesop of
the staple unequalled in quality and quantity has
b.'en produced and nearly sgved. A price which,
heretofore, has been given oqly under the appre
hension of greatly diminished productnow
offwmi hy the manufacturer. -A grain crop, such
as. perhaps, the ‘world has never stjen, lia*,rowu
w) the labor of the Sbutherii husbandman. Thi#
• mdition of thing- wilt be short-lived or permanent
a< the judgment of the agriculturist may do ter?
mine. There is no error, into whjch own fall,
more common than she assumption that a certain
.-late of affairs will be perpetuated, without refer
ence to the causes which produce it. Persons, for
example, can !*e found who believe that she price
of Cotton will never ami in fall below ten oete,
and that young negro fellows will never again
sell for less than one thousand dollar*, ll
should always bo remembered, however, that
the price of negroes i* .letennincd absolutely by
the value of their labor, ad. that this latter fact
is dependant, oxoliaivd)', upon the supply ot and
demand for the produet of that labor. It is true
that the proeent and prospective commercial as
|wt of the world gives foundation to the belief,
that the demand for the product ot nrgi” labor iu
the South, is tint placed upon a male wfpsrnm
dent and rapid progre--ion. The opening of fhWh |
and Japan to the commerce of the world, will grad* j
uaily, but certainty and necessarily stimulate the
consumption and taannfacture of cotton
Tbuir unnumbered millions must be chol. and. |
for this purpose, they have here to A) re paid u high
er price for a less suitable material, than cotton
cloth. But it were a dangerous heresy to assrime
that the production of the staph* cannot he stim
ulated in a corresponding ratio. TKc present
high price of cotton will necessarily divert A targe
atnonnf of labor and capital from other channels
of industry into that branch of production. JTbe
rapidity of the eon-version will he proportionate 16
the excess of profit Jn this kind of labor over alt
others.
‘fhe logic of events confirms (he deductions of
common sense, thftt capital will not long remain
unproductive or eonteut with an inferior rate of
profit when avenues of greater productiveness ttife
open to it. The great apprehension, therefore, is
that every body will turn their attention to raising
cotton, and that planters will luisAabsorbed with
the Staple, that but little time a nil room will be
devoted to raising their own supplies. Experience
should hare taught them that when this Is done,
cotton falls, provisions rise and the planter and,of
coor-c, the whole country suffers. Lot them look
well to it then, and have a. care ftrat thr
eminent prosperity be not the fore runner of a pet
riod of disaster equally great and protracted. |*e
them raise their own coru, wheat and meat, and
then, what cottou they cgn : hut be certaiu of the
former.

bi'gun by >aymg: The dgseeinbintsof the Dutch
“eoliHkt.s of New Y ork, keep forever bright the
memories of their fatherland. When however,
he travolud in liolUud, he uyuld hardly find one
lingering tradition of the settlement of New Nath -
*rlands, It Is always so. The* atfeetion at’ the
euiigrant for hi- ntiv e country Is ever stronger
than the sympathies oi that country for its exiles.
The Senators from California, a* yet only repru
sentntives hbre* of society on the Pacific coasts, are
aomuiiltcd to this great measure, and earnest in
it- support. So ho hoped that- if bis arguments in
response to them seemed addressed to the Sena
tors from the Atlantic States, they would do him
the justice to reboot that it is only on this side of
tlic it<>cky Mountains that the tiow and ice of
indifference und prejudice resist conviction. Mr.
Seward would not sny much conceriiing the de
tail* of thw bill. If he were allowed to prescribe
thu rout© and the poiicv oi mmatructing a Pin-die
Railroad now, he would chuuoaa path which
would he a eonfinuatiou of the road that our great
North -western emigration Ims hitherto’ followed.
He would discard all employment of companies,
and uU grants of public lands; an-l would build
the roaiius a military, postal, national highway
with the money and credit of the federal govern
ment, aud surrender the loads along its route to
m ural suttler* t ree of coat, lie would increutie
the revenue* by au increase of imports,oitidcreate
a sinking fund to übsori) gradually the public
debt. Tint he had concurred in preserttiug thD

Mr. Seward then answered sueoaisively the sev
eral ohjactions against the construclfon of the road
Comnmrec is *>nly an incidental interest In onn
nection with thin raid. Dis wanted first aud
ahiefiy lor postal und military—that is to say, for
political purposes. It is a grand error to rely on
commerce for sttoh highways in Territories, where
society has ii Iw* called intc*i*teMW, oriliatthey
irun U; dispensed with till, society is created.—
The treaty of tlimdalonpc Hidalgo extended the
national jurisdiction across the Koeky Mountaftts
to the Pacific, and from that, moment the neces
sity of postal and military highways across was
disclosed. Our contentions in i ’tali, TVntral
America and Mexico, and with Prance and Lng
land, are legihiiuaUM ot a reliance on
the routes through foreign ednnfrles, instead of
through onr own. He dhl not pretend to know how
long we intend to floundervn this armicom* policy,
bn* was sure tbat tin interior region will not be set
tled till she railroad inbuilt, and that probably the
Piu-ihe r*tfos will not forever remain ntiifod to
the Atlantic.- If they are not tut united. The fate*

He would not tfeWafe the eonsfitutional power for

Even the strictest conrirunt4riists admit the pow

We happened to be at our depot a few days ‘

NVe haw before u* nn epitome of the remark*
of a Congressman ulect from Brooklyn a Mr.
Humphrey*- vvho i* trying to follow the wakuol
IMr. Seward. He cuutuieaeus by saying that he i*
just “buckliug on ihe armor” -that iu the next
•Hen years the great aud momentous battle ol IKc
doiif is to be fought■” du* would he true to hfo
“convioUoM* auil principles"—the “salvation” us
the Union depended upon the “Uupuhlieau party
aud it* principle*” the *:South had I'orvaal slu
j very into the territories” would force it into “tree
Slate*” the Supreme Court would let the slave
have an owner in New York, the Soutlmrn juries
i perjured themselves in behalf of the crowning in
ffttny (Kcdio case)--the “South warred upon the
free institution* and sought to subjugate free
i doip” the “grind struggle between righl and
wrotig. Freedom nnd Slavery would never cease
: till slavery was overcoinu” prized (lluinphreys’)
Ids birthright - would not “yield one iota in the
[ contest”- -tip* South had repealed the Missouri
I Compromise Mid now with “(lod'a help, the Re
* publicans wotud maintain and mforoe the prineU
- pie of no more slave Stale* and no more slave ter*
f ritory.” Tlife is a synopsis of a t’ongrossinim'.s
speech to lit* constituent*. It is the most amusing
-j tiling we ever read. Still it reveals the programme
lof a majority of the people in tile Union. To all
jicrson* who prat about the Union at any prior,
who worship a name with the devotion of those
’ who kiss the too of thu l’opo—wc commend the
i sentiment that the Union depends upon the on -
’ forcemeat of the “principles” of the Republican
: party -the principle tlmt “slavery must be over
i come”- -tin* principle tpal tljeslnvcs who wait on
| our table, who till our soil, must he sent away and
they not pay tor them, the principle that wc must
yield our own opinions of right and wrong to tlieir*
; or tin* Union will Iw dissolved. Now there may
he uomc chicken hearfod Southerners who would
im.lUuvu the spirit to resist, an unjust principle and j
au uuholv orusiidu against, the institution* of
the South who. unlike our Jut lid's would not
I light for a little tn.r ipi tut. but would not light
j atall, iftlio / uion is in danger but would yield
! their birthright and their slaves. We trust, liovv
ever, they arc few in number and they will not be
i come Lories before the struggle.
As to Mr. Humphrey’s statements, like those of
■ other abolitionists, they are far from the truth,---
The South never “forced” slavery anywhere- -on
1 the contrary it is always forced out. T|ic South
I never sought to “subjugate freedom”- on the run
I trury she ask* the pitiful buon lobe let alone.- j
I ‘fhe juries of the South never perjured them j
selves—on the contrary they have decided the (
i law.
i Besides, Hie South never decapitated a Judge
j for discharging his awom duty—the abolition- i
ists have. Tho South never killed any of the i
i officer* of tho government in executing what
: might be regarded,! an odious law—the abolition
ist* have. Infant she .South has yielded so long
Ito the indignities id’the abolitionists hgs neglec
ted *o long so defend her integrity has refused
! under a sense ut right six long to occupy liar true
’ position -hns thought so little of licrgrcat wealth,
her resources, her eapm-Uyto take cure of her
self, her generous, noble, and chivalrous son*,
‘• that it is no wonder the abolitionists have a* poor
j au opinion of her, and under the cry of Union,
j desire so light tfio great battle, which will take
from her the last vestige of slavery.
