Tbsir population is about tusKs miltioß* Her soil to adapted to s great variety of prodasttoos. The great States af Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, containing an area of absat two hundred thousand square miles, are grain-growing States, and pro das* every variety es grain in abundance.

Rio Grande. She has har bors equal to any in the ykorld. The cli mate is deligblfipl. In fine, when we look over the Southern State*, wo ean set no reason why they.could not fsrmrhemeelvee into a Confederacy that would bu able to defy the world. Greece, in her palmiest days, was not such a country as tbe South. Rome, ia the days of her glory, was not as favored by nature. The products rais ed in tbs Southern State* bring, annually, two hundred millions of dollars over and above tbrir consumption. The thirteen cslonies with a population of only three million*, withstood ths armies of the moth er country for seren years, and at last triumphed. Should th* Southern States, then, de spair of bqing able to dofond theraidros against th* Northern? But some may say that England and, perhaps, Franoe would aid the North. Let ns (oppose then that the Southern Sutra have seceded in a b#d>, and formed themaelvea into a Southern Confederacy, and that the North ern State*, aided by England, were at tempting to subjugate them. What would be the effect ? Os course all commercial relation between the South and England would bo stooped. Not a single bale es cotton would find its way through tbe North to Xuglm'fl- Our mothers and daughter* and negro women would bring out the old fashioned spinning wheels, and the man would be found fighting in thsir copers* pants until the South could rear manufacturing establishments. Instead of shipping our cotton bales to th* North or to England wc would build forts out of them, behind which to fight and, kill abo litionist*. Then, with the supply nf cotton from the Southern States entirely cu, off, bow woold the North snd England keep their extensive factories going? There are millions of people in the North, and es pecially in England, who have nc ether means to obtain thsir daily bread.— Would they not swam out and demaud bread ? Would we r. > sec civil war in England, and even in * North? W* see some evidences already in on* or two of tk* Northern States. It would, in our opinion, be all that, England could do to attend to her own starving millions, were the to take the suicidal step of sid ing the North. Eight thousand shoemak er* of Lynn, Mass, arc said to be in a state of aotual revolt, and have to be kept down by the military. These revolts will become more and more oommon as th* South withdraws her patronage from the North. But England knows her own interest too well to take sides sgainat the South. In this day and time twelve millions of people cannot be conquered, if they be united, *r,d are determined not to yield. Ana th* only effect an attempt to subju gate the Southern States would have, would b* to cause them to build up man ufactures st once, and henee, render them independent sooner than they would oth nrwiss he. Tho Southern States stand upon a sure baaie. Cannot any people, making in annual surplua of two hundred milliqps, build manufactures, a nary, or auy thing else they wish ? Surely they can; and will they not do it, if driven to it by th* oontiottsl eggi eeaiwws of their en emies? Iu a Southern Confederacy slave holder* oouid have expansion. Soon all Mexico would be ours, and Cuba, ths Queea of thn Antilles; yes, and Central Amorioa, and some of the Booth Ameri can State#. Then there wonld be a chance for tu t* get the Indian Territory, Utah and Now Mexico. | Taxation would be leas an the Southern 1 people than it is. The expeneee of tbe General Government are mainly paid by duties oi import*. Domestic manufac turers pay no duties. Foreign manufac turers are compelled to aak higher prices for their goods in consequence of tbe Ta riff. This enable* the domeetic manufac turer te gat mere for hi* articles than he could without the Tariff, the natural effect, then, of tba working of eur ggjern meut is, t* give a bounty to those who have their capital invested in manufacture*. The government works in such a way as to plae* in the pockets of maoufaetur.-r: a large sum of money which they would uot get if they were left unaided to compete with foreign manufacturers; and, now, whila it is of great advantage to the man ufacturer, it take* from-tbe honest produ cer what it put* into the pockets of tbs o bar class. If s Southern man wants to buy a coat, ia it any difference to him whether the cloth was made in Yaukee dora or in England ? Do*'S he love the Yankee so well as to give him two dollars l more fer the eoaf then be woald have to give the Xnghshmar, if the Government did not make him pay a doty ? We hop* not; and,.yet, honest Southern firmer*, tbi* is exactly what the government does. We do not grumble at thin, provided tliaSh Northern manufacturers will let us ai m*, and not make war on opr rigkta. Iks vx pauses of tho Goveramspj have to be paid, •ad a* long as the mousy to raised by di ttos on imparts, It will giv* Incidental aid to hems manufacturers, sad distribute ths hardens of government aosqaally. Ws do not hesitate to say that direst taxation woald boa mseb fairer way to raiae tbe ueceaaary revenue. But aot only do the Southern people pay two-tbirde of the rev •uaes, bat where to a large portion of the money disbursed ? We answer, in the North. Avery Urge part to diahared in New Yerk, Philadelphia and Boston.— It gees to tke building up of thoa* cities; ths natural working of the government tends to impoverish ths South and enrich the North. Tbe Sotgji paya tax enough to build a magnificent Capitol, President’* house and every other building needed, and pay tbc ordinary ‘governmntal expen se* also. While, therefore, we prefer the Union as our father* made it, yet we think the South has notbtagUo lose by dissolu tion—she would rapidly rise in everything that can make a nation prosperous and 1 great, sod her people happy. JC3C We copy from the Kufaul* Spirit of the Sooth an article, entitled “ Presi dent making ” We have very great re aped for the opinions of the editor of the South, but we cannot subecribe to the dee trine that the next President ought to com* from the Norf . We have said again and a tin that w* would go for a sound Northern man on a sound platform, but wc do think that the Soath is entitled to tbs candidate. It is true, that there are men st tho North whom we would prefer to many Southern onee. Lane, of Oregon ; Pierce, of New Hampshire, and others w* could mention, ere sound, Con stitutional men. They are State Right* men of tbe Calhoun stamp, and w* are ready to support and do battle for them. It is true also that the South does not wish to inaaguarate a sectional administra tion of tho government. The South asks nothing but equal right* and equal privi leges, ta member* of the Confederacy.— She asks this much, and has a right to de mand it. We can present many sound, able and patriotic man from tho South, who would, if elected, administer the gov ernment on these principles, and such man ought not to be objectionable to Northern men. What advantage will it tive to have* Northern candidate ? The plat form, mult be unequivocal and vheeandi-! data mast atend openly and boldly upon it. Nothing ia to be construed one way at the North ao J another way ty the South. Now. why would a Northern-sinn lead th.- eaneervative h..#u to battle better than a Southern ones Fhe Northern Democra cy have had the candidate, the lift two election!, and we at tho South stood by them, snd fought shoulder to shoulder with them. Can they not do the fame u gallantly with a Southern man in the lead ? If a sound Southern mania nominated, cannot. Lane, Pierce, Dickinson, Cushing, yea, D'ingUa too, raise their battle axes and do as effectual service under his banner as under that of a Northern man ? If we have to give the North the highest offices to get them to giro us our rights, vre say let the Union slide. The Northern peo- j pie surely see that the fate of the Union depends upon the election of a sound man and if they have to be petted and hired to help ua to elect such a one, we do not want their help. We do not think they will need such help. Wc believe they will stand up for our candidate, and we think ho will be elected. It is highly probable we would have to give them the candidate all the time upon this doctrine of expediency. Our true courso is to ■how a pertect willingness to adopt a sonnd platform, giving equal rights to ev ery State in the Confedertey, and that we are willing to go for any man who will administer the government according to the principles of such a platform. The only safe Course for the South, is for her to demand equal rights, and if they are not oonoedsd, disolre the Union and build np a Southern Confederacy. It might do to make concession on a small seals sow. if ws had. not already made than until ws have come contemptible in the eyes of oar euemies, and ought to feel utterly asham ed of ourselves. It is, in ou.’ opinion, dangerous to begin to adviea further con ceasioa. It is true, General Taylor was a weak President. He was, in fact, meraly a seminal President, he was completely andor the control of his advisers. He had na knowledge of government aflaire. He was a brave mao, and eminent warrior. Let hie ashes rejt in peace, but we do not think it proper to draw from his brief and ! weak administration an argument against | Southern men. We have men who are I eaaisently sound and posMas all the requi ’ sites to qualify them tor the position.— Polk was a Southern man. Tyler was a Southern man, and Jaoksoa was one toe. Audso were Washington, Jefferson, Mad ison and Monroe. It will be recollected that all the Northern Presidents have not been sonnd. Martin Van Bar no betrayed hie party. We have sound men in both sections of the Union, and we think it ia aot right that the President should coats from one ell the time. Every principle of justice and comity wald dictate that there ought to be e rotation ia the Bas tions from which the chief magistrate is taken. The candidate oannot be called sectional because be is a Southern man; for he will be nominated by a national convention aud stand upon a national platform He will be p'edged by the ’ principles of bis plaform to give justice and equal rights to all seetious. It ia true that t..e result will d-psnd upon the vote ot Northern States. The editor of the Smith takes the ground a northern mas would b* stronger ii tbe North than a Southerner, Now we tsk Mr. Bullock, wky? Would it be ainply because be w a northern mans Or, vbat would lead the northern Deintorsty to vets for him more cheerfully f Wed# not contend for i Southern man oa tbe ground of unsound.cm. It is be cause w* think we arc entitled to it. Let as look at the aubjsct a latle more min •toly. Suppose Gen, Laic is nominated, can be carry mors States than Mr. Stepb •us? H*eould carry Orspon, that is tru •, bat woald not Oregon go for Stephens, if Democrats there are true f WsthinkMr Bulls** will agree that tbs votes of Uli aeis and Indiana depend aim oat entirely apoa tbe eoarae of Mr Doagias and his friends Aud iu oortain that Mr Steph ana would boas apt as Lane or any other Northern man, not bolding Mr. Douglas’ peculiar views to get their support. We think it woald be but simple justice to th<-1 South to give her tbe candidate. Hwo. Martin ff. Craw) rrf. Among the rising men of Ge gia, our gallant and fearless representative stand* moat prominent. Sinee the retirement of A. H. Stephens, he heads the Georgia del egatien in Congress. His growing p„DU larity is evidenced by the fact that his majority in the district increases ot every re election. He is bold and fe.irlera in debate, and hener he is dreaded by hi* opponents. His late speech iu the Huuae of Representatives ea the election of Spea ker, is perfectly characteristic of the man. We like to bear men speak out plainly it is ths wsy all public men should do. Although y..*og, Martin J. Crawford is becoming thoroughly posted up on Na tional affj.rs and the history of Congres aional legislation, He is every way wor- 1 thy to be the Representative of Seutli- Western Georgia. Ho is not tinctured with Union-submissioniain, but stands up, the bold defender of Southern Rights and tbe advocate of rraiaUuooto Black llepub lisan rule. If an attempt be made to plant the black flag of Black Republican ism on tbe walls of our National Capitol, proclaiming to the world the inauguration of a Northern despotic rule, we shall con fidently expect to find our noble Repre sentative foremost among th aon* of the Empire State to raise the banner of resist anee; and uulcaa we an wonderfully mis taken, South Western Georgia i otii, almoti to a man , stand up with him. , Fur tho Reporter.
