Revival of the Afrlenn Slave Trade—l
\o. 3.
Increase of National Wealth.
The resources of a country include,
all those properties of her lands, waters,
and climate, which may be made ser
viceable in ministering to the wants of
man. Left to themselves, they have
no value. Value is alone the result of
human labor, acting upon resources.—
Labor is the only power by which re
,ources can be converted to wealth.
The wealth of a nation, then, is the
result of a combination of labor with
resources. Either without the other,!
does not constitute wealth. This is
true both of nations and individuals.—
As is the case in many countries of Eu
rope, if there be a superabundance of
labor, with no resources sufficient to
engage it, all, .then will be national
poverty. On the other hand, if a coun
try finds itself abounding in those ob
jects which call for development by the
hand of man, still if the supply of la
bor be inadequate to their full expan
sion, the nation will be poor, compared;
with what she might be, and poor in j
comparison with other nations, who
with fewer gifts of nature have more j
working power.
A nation, therefore, is rich in propor
tion as she combines more labor with
more resources. The true way to com
pare the wealth of nations is to compare
their products. The amount of produc
tive labor is the exact measure of a na
tion's wealth.
Apply this reasoning to the South. It j
were useless to paint minutely her'
undeveloped resources. All know that
she has millions of acres uncultivated,
boundless treasures hidden in the mines,
forests whose timber would make Eu
rope rich for centuries to come, and a
climate to produce what no other cli
mate in the world can produce. She
is not then as rich as she might be, be
cause her products are not as great as
they would be by a full development.—
In other words the amount of her pro
ductive labor is not as great as it could
be. The maximum of her possible
wealth is not reached, nor will it be
reached, until her productive labor !
equals the productive capacity of her
resources. The more rapidly then, she
augments her force of labor, the more
rapidly she will increase in wealth. Ad
mit, then, for the argument, that the
.South is now equal in wealth, with the
balance of the world; the foregoing con
siderations show us that she has the ca
pacity to exceed the rest of the world,
provided she can obtain the requisite in
crease of labor. Where shall this labor
come from ?
There are two sourers from whence
she can obtain an increased supply of
labor. Either from Europe and the
North ; thence she will get only free
white labor ;—or from Africa,
she can get black slave labor. We have
several reasons for preferring that the
supply should come from Africa, one of
which we will here set forth.
Every one admits that the augmenta
tion of national wealth is, to the South,
a desirable end, but the admission
might be accompanied with the proviso
that it should tend to the increase of
her own wealth. It is natural for man
to hope for his own advantage, in the
gain of his nation. It is precisely for
this end—the end of individual benefit,
that we are striving.
Perceiving that the success of our
policy must result in increase of South
ern wealth, each man asks what would
be the effect on himself ? In what man
ner would the additional wealth of the
South be divided ? W T e answer, precise
ly on the principle on which the exist
ing wealth is divided. We contemplate
no change in the laws that now regu
late the division and tenure of proper
ty. We wish no modifications of an
important nature. The citizens of the
South, compared with each other, would
be no richer, nor any of them any poor
er than they now are. There would
still be rich and poor. The rich would
still become poor by bad management,
while the poor might become rich.
But note this result! Each individu
al would have a greater amount of the
products of labor than he now has; he
would be absolutely richer, betause he
would have more to supply his wants—
more of everything. A and B, in Au
gusta, would not, it is true, grow richer
or poorer in a comparison with*each
other ; but, when composed with C and
and I), in Boston, or Paris, A and B
would both be richer.
This result grows out of the_ fact,
that while the wealth of the country
would be enlarged, it would still be~di
vided among no more individuals, than
at present—no more whites—and, con*
iequently, the share of each white
would be greater. To use a simile : the
rule of division would remain unchang
ed ; but the dividend (wealth) being
enlarged, while the divisor (whites!
would be unaltered, the quotient would
be proportionately larger.
Suppose we conclude to draw our
supply of labor from Europe, taking
free white men. See the result! Just in
the very proportion in which our pro
ductive labor, and consequently wealth,
j would be enlarged, in that very propor
! tion, the number of participants would
; be increased, and individual whites now
: ! in the South, would reap no share of
i benefit from the increase of nation
|al wealth. To continue our simile:
| the divisor (whites) having been in
creased in the same ratio as the divi
dend (wealth), the quotient would re
main unchanged. Hence, we prefer
’ slave importation.
Where now is the fallacy in this ar
gument ? Let those who cavil and hes
itate,point to the error. Is it not as plain
as noonday, that increased labor would
be increased wealth to the South? Is it
not plain that individual wealth could
only he produced by bringing that labor
from Africa ? Is not the increase of in
dividual wealth a desirable end to every
man ? Then, in this view of the sub- j
ject, is not a Revival of the African
Slave Trade a desirable end?
We will close this article with calling
attention to an error often fallen into
by those who reason and think of this
matter. The error is, that they reason
upon specific interests without having!
before themselves any fixed points of |
departure. Now the reasoning which!
we have above given is general in its
nature. If it be sound, then its conclu- j
! sions must harmonize with the conclu- j
| sions to which one comes, when reason-1
! ing upon a single interest, else these'
last conclusions will be erroneous. If!
it he not sound we shall feel obliged to I
him who will point us to the error. ° |
Edward Everett.
To the brief, but very significant com
mentary of the Charleston Courier on
our allusion to its defence of Edward
i Everett, we would simply observe that
Mr. Everett came South with a repu-
I tation as a statesman, and scholar, and
orator, as wide as the country, and
wider : he was invited South by gentle
men of well-known position and loyal
ity to Southern institutions. This,
with the cordial reception everywhere
extended him by our people of all par
ties, and conditions, we regarded as uffi
cient rebuke to the carping of a few sec
tional fanatics, ever unable to see any
good in the Eastern portion of the Re
public. It was far from our purpose to
question the gallant purpose of the ,
Courier in extending Mr. Everett the
explanation; and we have no doubt it
will be properly appreciated by him—
but we insist, that it is according undue
importance and respect to the co
terie of agitators who have assailed him
We cannot help regarding the ill-timed j
and ill-tempered abuse of Mr. Everett
’ as most deplorable—and the people of
the whole country are too familiar with
his national sentiments, and the abuse
' he lias suffered from the Abolitionists, to
pay any attention whatever to the abor
tive effort to identify him with the
. enemies of the South.
Affray In Callioun.
We learn through our faithful and
' esteemed correspondent, “ Buck Horn,
: that a Mr. Stephen McGinnis was shot
through the thigh, with r pistol, by a
Mr. Young, of Calhoun, on Sunday.
We have not room for the particulars,
but it seems that Young refused to pay
toll at McDill's bridge, and McGinnis,
the present owner, shut the gate, when
Young dismounted, shovedit open, and
' fired. McGinnis is doing well.

Ministry.
Great excitement existed among mer

quence of insults and detentions to
which American vessels had been sub

suspecting them ot being slavers. Some
masters had expressed a determination

The Great Pro blem
’ Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
t DIAL. —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
l fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
1 nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
t the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
! paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
‘ wholesome revolution created in the system, the
’ basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
> i or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague tcr
■' rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
j paralysis, [borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
1 nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
•j or disability arising from the unnatural condition
i j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of ibis Cordial, which atoncccalms,
\ invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
I organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimo s in

. woman has ever received from the hards of

! Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
; mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the .strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material j
| which is to be subjected to their action. As an j
j appetiser it has no equal in the Phnrmacopia.
I If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
• joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of \
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither j
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent reli«f from
the use of this incomparable ren >valor. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible m ilady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Lot not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ierence to the causes, and will not only remove j
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
