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. |Nrw 1 car's lta>.

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.

But the time for delibera tion ha* come to nn And tind that for notion is ,|o begin. Ho being earnest in hi* desire for a Pacific Kaiii'oad lie w ould a* uopt tlus bill. 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.

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.

Ilcpubllmu vmlmcuix 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.

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.
