€bcning ilisjnud). AUGUSTA.GA: Tuesday Evening, May IS, 1838, Revival of live African Slave Trade— So. i. General Consideration of Specific Interest In reasoning upon a class of related facts, the true method of logic requires us to ascertain some general law, run ning through each of the facts, which law 6hall be as applicable in its princi ple, to one of those facts as to another. And, if it be the purpose of the reason er to produce conviction, the soundness of the general law must first be assent ed R> by those to be convinced, before he proceeds to examine the separate facts. The general principle then be comes an admitted standard by which to test the correctness of the conclu sions reached in the investigation of the single facts ; coincidence with the lead ing rule being evidence of correctness ; want of coincidence being evidence of error. The general law, which we have laid down in the discussion of this subject, and which will hardly be rejected by any mind is, that the productive labor of a country is to be taken as the exact measure of that country’s wealth ; that so long as the productive labor increases, so long the collective wealth will in crease ; that, if the collective wealth increases more rapidly than the popula tion, among whom that wealth is to be divided, there will be an increase of the average individual wealth. Now, we shall enlarge the wealth of the slave-lioldiug States by enlarging the amount of slave labor, through im portation from Africa. Os course, if there be no change from the present method of dividing wealth in the South, then there will be no change in the relative wealth of Southern men, each man’s present wealth being aug mented in the same ratio as his neigh bor's, We propose hut one change, namely, the removal of the present re strictions upon the African Slave Trade. It is to be observed, that no one can as sert that our scheme will work injury to all classes and to all interests, for that assertion would be to deny our genera! law. To those who make this denial, we shall have nothing to say, until they have succeeded in proving that, when capital controls a large amount of productive labor, its returns of profit are not so great as when the labor is scarce, and, therefore, high-priced. Now, whoever admits our leading law, but objects to our plan, that while it might benefit one class, it would in jure another —he is under obligation to show, that the one change which we propose, would be, in reality, a change from the mode of division which now , obtains in the distribution of wealth. To.sbow this, many cunning devices are , resorted to. All sorts of subterfuges • appear. One objector declares that men , will buy what is not profitable to them. Another ignores the doctrine, that, on an average, demand regulates supply. A third says, it is not true that capita] seeks the most profitable investment ; he insists, that capital would apply the labor, which it controls, in a pursuit which could not yield as large a profit as some other. In short, it is out of our power, as it is useless to enumerate ai! the absurdities into which men fall when, assuming a given thing to be true, they attempt to prove its truth without first knowing whether or not the evidence is sufficient to the proof. When the supply is limited, an in creased demand produces an advance in price. The resources of the South have a limit, therefore increase of la bor will raise the price of those resour ces and, as labor gives value, an addi tion of the former would create an ad dition to the latter. Thus we see that the lands of the South will become more valuable, in proportion, as labor becomes more plenty. This will be true of everything in, on and about the : land, no matter what the kind of land, i Additional labor would enhance the worth of tillable land, of the grazing, 1 of the building, of the mining, of the timber land. We need not amplify this branch of the argument. In this result, the land holder will find himself enriched. This conclusion tal lies with our general law, and is correct therefore. Again, in this region of the South, people are accustomed to look at cotton until they can see nothing else. They assume certain things, as fixed in regard to that staple, and try to make every thing conform to their ideas of cotton i interest. The cotton objector assumes i that the price of cotton would go down, - and, therefore, the planter would lose. - His position is, tiiat diminishing the price of cotton, will diminish the profit : on its production. Not one particle of ' doubt, that the objector who lives in * the tobacco region, argues in the same 1 way about tobacco ; so argues the sugar objector, and so he of rice, and he of wheat, and he of hemp, and he of mules, and he of hogs; and so cry all the inter ests, railroad, iron, coal and everything else. Now, if either argues correctly, And all argue in the same way as lie. is it not perfectly plain that, remove the restrictions as much as Wc may. no enr would ever purchase the negroes, And then no harm would come to any- body ? And, furthermore, if everbody argues correctly in this way, as all do if one does, then all deny our genera! law, and therefore stultify themselves by de nying collectively, what each one had before admitted. “But,” says the cotton planter, “I want you to show me how 1 am to have my own wealth increased, for it is 1 not enough to move me to action that > [am not to be harmed.” Very well, sir, we will do that too, or, if we fail, you i may vote against our proposition, when the question comes to the ballot-box. And just the argument wo are going to make to you, we will make to the i Virginia tobacco grower, and the Ken tucky mule grower, and to every other; producer. Now, sir, whatever is safe to say or . assume of you, is safe to say or assume j of ail your brother cotton planters, and; vice versa; {or your interest is theirs, as ■ theirs is yours. If you purchase at all, you will have to purchase an additional supply of labor, with the capital that you already have; so will they. Ifi you assume that they will put the ne groes which they may purchase in the cotton field, so will you. Then, if, asj you say, the result is that you iosei profit, all will lose. And, therefore,! the assumption which you may make ] [ amounts to this: that you and your brethren will put an additional amount . of capital into a business at the very j ! moment when it is ceasing to lie profita . ble ! Wehaveonlytosaythatifyouand| your brethren act in that manner, you are a more foolish set of men than we I have taken you to be. On the contra ry we take you to be men of sense, and this is what we think will he the result, j either: Ist. Everybody, including yourself, I . will refuse to purchase any negroes, in . -which case everybody will refuse to do! what everybody admits it is for every body’s interest to do, and therefore the! whole country will fail to be benefitted ; not because it could not be benefitted, but because it refused to be benefit-! ted! or, 2d. You and your brethren would buy no negroes, while persons engaged in other departments of industry, would j purchase them. In that case, as your class would have no more force in the field than they now have, cotton would not.go down in price, because you could raisc no more than you now do. You! would receive for your crop as much money as you now receive, but, accor- j ding to your own assumption, the price j having been augmented in other depart-; ruents, the products of its labor would | Jgo down, and you could buy what you now do, for less money than you now pay. You would then have more mo ney left than you now have, and there- , fore would be growing richer, which is , our theory—or, 3d. You and your bretheren will pur-1 j chase some more negroes. In this case j j you will put no more negroes in thej ( cotton field tliau will return you a prof- j it upon their labor. The price of cot- i ton will not then go down so as to be . unprofitable to you. You will still con- j tinue to raise a supply of cotton corrcs-1 ponding to the demand, and no more, j But you will put your extra hands into some other field of labor, and will pro duce what you now have to buy. You will still sell your cotton at as great a profit as now, and will not have to purchase as much as you now do.— You will then accumulate money, or something that will bring you money J when you choose to exchange it. Thus, you will be growing richer, which tal lies, again, with our general law, and is therefore correct: you will grow rich er whether you purchase negroes or not, provided somebody purchases them. As we said before, we can reason ini this way to any interest, and as our: conclusions would thus always coincide j with our general law, where is our error? If you cannot find it. come to our side, i o. The Western Silvers. The Memphis papers of Saturday re j ported the river still rising. On Sun- j day it was stationary.
