Yielding to those condition* the laboring man of ft# North, to earn a living, found it ea sier te gs te sen than starve si home; while bis follow at the South found it 0%- rior to gather “enough aad to spare” from tbo teeming soil sad genial climate of bis own sonny South. Therefore, at the for mattea of tbo Government the two sec tion* presented themselves, one as sen fearing. with fishing as its ehiefoeenpa ' tien; the other as agrieultnral. j Hut soon the Yankees came np with i representations of this sort Fishing b s poor business, said they; it dosen’t pay; but ishiug ought to be encouraged for na tional purposes, therefore, let ua not only protect Yankee-caught fish ia ur market* against the fish caught by the BaglisL, Dutch aad French, but let ns give tho Now Englander* a bounty on all fish that 1 they can caleh. U other arords, let us i (ax thb agricultural business of the South whies is so profitable, for the benefit of onr fishermen, whose business if left to i itself won’t pay. Aad so annually large sums of money were taken diieetly out 1 of tho common treasury, ostensibly, but •rigiaslly and really from the pocket* of < tho Southern planter, to pay tho New I Hog Under* for catching fish for their own i usee.

Fray look at this somewhat attentively, for it is om of the petals of difficulty in the quarrel, that as aot apt to be perceived by one outsail the national family circle. Though neither the sole aor the chief cause, it is. neverthele—, one of the taaay aggravating influent— wbieh helped to make it. Along dm coast of the Northern Stales and with in the distance of about 250 miles, they have no less than four magnificent dock yards, where millions cf public money are annually expended. But along the South ern cosat from Cape Halter— to ike Bio Grande, a distance of nearly 2.000 mil—, ike South has but one navy-yard, and that only in name, for m vessel has sver bsea repairsd tbsre; and far building, though it has been eetahliahed about forty yeora, the lint vernal constructed there h- yet to be eommuaioued into service. In ease ef dieaeter to a man-of-war in the Gulf ef Mexico or the Weal Indies, she haa to go to n Northern ship-yard to ho repaired aad paid off. This is only anoth er one of the many ’eute little Yankee tricka lb which the Northerners hove re rotted to got tke puhtte mens? dishorned among them. As s rule, the greet mam of the public expenditures were made in the North, aot in the South, dint the South runs found themselves doubly taxed —taxed first for the benefit of the North ern manufactures, and then, in the die bur—msnt of the public funds, denied an equal participation in the benefit! accru ing therefrom. Thus festered, pampered aad petted, the Northerners began to think them —lv altogether superior to the South rons, for, said they, “look at our dap ping Md commerce, behold the beauty mud magnificence of cur cities, mark our workshops and railways, contra— them with the Uka at the South, and then any if the— are not the evidences of a differ ent and a better people, the indications ef n superior race 7’ With this they took up the notion that tkoy could not aaaoci atc with us iu the common territories be cause sf our slaves. We held slaves when they tough! car alliance. They know that, for they kidnapped them in Africa, they aad the Kuglbh brought them over b then ships and —ld them to us. •*.[ notwithstanding this agreement, the Con stitution and their obligations under it. they announced a “higher law,** and pro nett need their agreement with under the Constitution “a covenant with hell.” Will the—people keep frith any belter with money-lenders when debts pinch? With this temper in the Northern heart and mind the Federal Government frond itself seised with n vast extent of unpeo plod lands, the common property alike of all kbo States. Much of it had b— given to the Federal Government hy tne So—horn States far the benefit cf the Commonwealth; some ef it had been ac quired from the Indians by treaty and ( purchase,—and son— had been fa—k from France, Spain and Mexico,—k— all w— paid for out of the common treasury. , Into (he— territories the North now in- I siated that the Southerners should net mm ( aaless they left their afrvee behind.

Before they had oo—o to nndii—inJ our institutions, their to—s k— had eon trolling influences with the Oofsra—eat. The public lauds have caused the frll sf the Republie while yet b the vigor ef youth, by means cf the policy which, within the last thirty years, has been pursued with regard to them. Op In that time, the practice was to or gani— the— slowly bto territories, to ad -it the— sparingly into market, and so to rsgalale the settling of them up as to prepare for their reception into the Union in pairs one Stale with slavery and one State withe— slavery, always together. This was done until the number of Slat had beau beretsed from thirteen to thir ty. and the Union consisted of fifteen States with aad fifteen States without slavery. The reason frr this practice is obvious. It it found b this considerationla the Senate, every Stele was entitled to two r——, aad no more.—though the free Steles, by virtue of this land policy, and consequent more rapid increase of their population, had acquired tbs ascendency in the Lower House; yet, long as they were equal b the Senate, it w— impossi ble for cue a—tiou to combine for un friendly legislation against the other, for all laws required for their passage con current majorities in each House. The House might be unanimously in favor of a me—ore. yet it fails to become a law if there he in the Senate even a majority of 1 against it. usMnl Washington, in his virtue and wisdom, had warned the people against be dangers of dividing tbs country geo graphically into sections. They might kwt the— were irrespective ef parallels of latitiide, isothermal Hu— or the “peculiar institution.” A division of parti— by geographies) Hu—, if it should take place, would, the fothers of tke Republic aaw. be mo- liable to take plaee on the Slave ry Question. Hence, for two generations the policy was religiously adopted, and rigidly pursued, of equalizing the num ber of Free and Slave States, and pre serving that equality in one branch of the legislature. The law also forbad at least the immigration of slaveholders, with their •Urei. fr— Br—il. South America. Cuba. Jamaeia aud elsewhere; but it encouraged be immigration of free white persons from nil parts of ike world. UtfAer tke— lews, the Free States in creased b population more rapidly than tkt Slave States; for the emigrants gene sulKr, bring anti-slavery in their opinions, preferred to' settle in the Free States.— Therefore, the growth of the— b popula tion was greatly assisted by the tide of new-comers from 'Europe, while that of tke SUve States w— left to its own natu ral bare as*. Ynl, nevertheless, Cougt—a. j until n quarter of a century hack, was | slow to organise now territories on the an ti-slavery side of 3S° 30'. or to open up the lands in the— for settlement; and in —drr to preserve this equality of numbers between the Stales- -pro and anti-slavery -—the public lends were brought so spar ingly into market that the receipts there- \ from ware not more than sufficient to nay the expens— thereof. Such was the e—e I until about thirty yean ago. About that 1 time, and b an evil hour, this wise policy was abandoned, and the people were tempted 'by the Government out into •mu of Speculation upon the public buds euek as the world never aaw.
