Whilst the business of manufacturing political capital is In band, it is very easy for sounding resolutions concerning. the VVilmot Proviso to be adopted; but the thoughts of the people are lar away from any such lamentable emergency as a rupture of our glorious Confederacy! The New York,-riot the St. Louis fire, the New Orleans inundation, the progress, of the cholera are the subjects that command public attention. At the very moment when a Conventionfof De. puties in South Carolina was, the othr day, not only resolving upon conditional dissolution, but actually deliberatitrg the wild schlme of present non. intercourse with the North, a large majority of the Southern people were more in terested in!tbo contest of the Hungarians with LECTURE j i ,a4 ,j,y iihntl lr,sp-edily otienuVd to. , Jtnoj'of .tlic (onus enumerated above, .

In the city of New York, tne deaths last year; exceeded 14, 000, or one person out of every twenty eight; and it was a year! of no uncom mon mortality for that place. The great pfioftality of the eastern cities is supposed to belong chiefly to the emigrant popula- tiorj. But this is not the case. In 1830, when the deaths were 8009 in New York, their Austrian rulers, than in the sul.ject of the only a little over one-fourth were foreign; discussions at Columbia. 1 I and that must have been about the nro? A very remarkable and gratifying proof of .j portion of that population. In 1847 the ne attacttment ot tne people ot most, ot tne ; deaths in the city of New York! were 15. the North only 178,275. ThiT is about 97,000 less than the proportion the North ought to have, to equal the South.

Iy25 OPBpKAR STRUIB0AT COMPAQ ' .!',' f: J" OF FAYETTKVILliE ry question, adopted, as a port the party creed, the resolutions of the Virginia Legislature. General Trousdale, a distinguish ed soldier, wa9 put forward as the champion of the principles adopted for -.the occasion. II is competitor. Gov. Brown, had taken, his station the side of the Union. As is the cus. torn in Tennessee, the candidates went before; the people, sustaining their respective causes, bypublic speeches in the different counties.- The following notice of one of their discussions we find in the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle : In the course of a stump speech made at Springfield on the 7th inst., Gen. Trousdale, the Democratic candidate for Governor, exclaim, ed : 'Who was mad enough to talk of a dis- solution of the Union ? 1 We must resist, but ice will not give up the Union in all futipre time ; IT IS ABOVE EVERY THING. i In reply to Gov. Brown, Gen. T said : L-; " II is competitor had travelled beyond the res. olution of the Democratic Convention some' thing he had he ard of beyond them ! lie had been called upon to answer specifically to answer as to whether he was in faver of this other matter, so alluded to. He did not con sider himself called upon to answer the ques-I lion. Jle was for the Democratic platform, and did not stand there to bc catechized, J He did nofbelieve the Union could be broken up by any invention of man. He was opposed to dis union, let it come from where it might.11 Does not this language of General Trousdale ineontettably demonstrate, that he has found the temper of the people of Tennessee to be different from what the Democratic Convention thought it? Committed to the resolution of resistance, he adheres to that, but, pressed to the. wall, he declares that the ujjion is ABOVE EVERY TJIING, and that HE IS OPPQSEti TO DISUNION, LET IT COME FROM WHAT QUAR-i ter it may. The sentiment will be separated by nine. tenths of-thepeople of the South ; but what a commentary is its utterance ; by the nominee of the Democrats of Tennessee, upon the brave declarations of their political mana gers ! Richmond Times. more than one third were foreign, and the" proportion of that population is now much more than one third. The mortality of Nev York is much greater than it seems ; because being so largely emigrant from thc;interior and from abroag, the propor tion of adults in her population is much greater than ordinary, and among adults mortality is not near so great as (among children. . New York has 50,000 children less than her share. ' In the last twenty years the population of New York has nearly doubled,; but its mortality has nearly trebled. ; According to an official statement of the duration of human life in the several avocations in Massachusetts in 1847, it appears that the average of Agriculturalists is 64.14 years. Merchants, 49.20 Mechanics, 46.45 r Laborers, 46.73 This is the average life' time in the sev eral occupations beginning at 20 years. According to this, the three avocations of city life, merchants, mechanics and labor ers; average about 46i years, whilst far mers live more than 64 J years,; or one third longer ! This enormous, and I had almost said atrocious destruction of hu ma life, which is continually going on in towns and cities, is enough of itself to ac count for the superior progress of agri culture in wealth. The loss of so large a proportion of time, in adult years, the ex penses of sickness, and the derangement of business, make an aggregate of itself enough to sink any reasonable rate of the people. The division of land for cul tivation into very small tracts is destruc tive bf its value. The soil of France is, on an average, of unusual fertility, and its climate so genial, as to be favorable to a great variety of productiveness. YeL therei with a dense population of its own, and in the neighborhood of Great jBritain. With ts mighty cities, the greatest mar ket iri the world, the average Value of land is only five or six dollars per acre is less than in Virginia. In England the average size of tracts held by the several sorts ot tenure, is about 150 acres, which is about as small as can be made profita ble ; 'as small as is compatible with the due rotation of crops, a judicious variety of stock, and the prompt adoption of im rovements in culture and utensils. In France the owner of a three or four acre arm, worth only twenty five dollars, can- hot of course afford to buy an improved tation or the opportunity for sensual grat plough much less can the renter of such j ification to be found in the city life. It is It tract in Ireland. It would cost more the cities that the passions and appetites than the whole crop is worth. According-j resort for their carnival.

In the fam jjTovements in agriculture have been made j 'y of the Southern planter or farmer, al and there the soil is more productive , though wine may be drank and cards In determining the-condition of civiliz- led communities, it is generally considered (-essential to Inquire into the state of " their N pauperism ; not onlybecaose the paupers themselves usually constitute a consider- able class, but because their number af- . fects vitally the condition of the entire la-lf boring class. ; In the State of New York the progress 'V of pauperism has been rapid. In 1830 the number supported or relieved was 15.505. In 1835, it was 33,462, accortj-, ing to Chaplin's U. S. Gazetrer for 18 i t In 1843 or 44, the number had increased to about 72,000 permanent, and the same number of occasional paupers, making a total of 144,000, as appears from the Journal of Commerce. These were for the whole State, and there was thus one pauper to every seventeen inhabitant?. In 1847, there were received at the nrin- than its proportion of males, it is appa-1 ciPftl alms houses for the city of NeW -rent that the deficit of the North in male 1 York 29,692 persons, and out door telief. population is much larger. Now the vi- j was given out of public funds to 44,572 ces of civilized society affect males chief- I persons, making a total of 73,264. So ly, young men and boys, far more than ! that about one person out of every five in any other. And if it were true that the ! the city of New York was dependent more South is more immoral than the North, it ! or less on public charity. The total cost would appear in the deficit of male pop ulation. But the reverse seems to be the fact. The explanation of this result is to be found in the same circumstances that de termine the relative wealth of the two sections. The South is rural in residence and habits. It does not present the temp that year of this pauperism was 8319, 292 88. For this present year of 1849, the estimate is 8100,000, according to the mayor's message. - In Massachusetts, it appears by the re turns, that there were in 1830, 5,590 pan- pers, and in 1848,18003.- These were alt in the alms-houses. Those relieved out of the alms-houses, were 9,817, making a total of 28.510, according to the report of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts. And the returns from forty-one towns are omitted. If allowance be made for thesr, it will be seen that in Massachusetts, one person out of every twenty is a constant or occasional pauper. It thus , appears that in these two States pauperism is ad vancing ten times as. rapidly as their wealth or population. It has become so and profitable. : That some Virginians, 1 played, all is dontrat home, under paren- great, as to include large numbers of able u instead of adopting some of the new meth- tal and fvminine observation ; and there pds of preserving and restoring the fer- ; bore excess can never go so far. Of course jility of their lands, choose to emigrate to the sons of planters visit the cities, but pew States, where the soil is already rich those in their n?ighborhood are trivial in by nature, and is cheap, results from, a I size, and meagre in attractions those ... . mere calculation and comparison of the cost of the iwo systems. And if it be found more profitable to remove to a new, thari to renovate an old soil, it is an evi dence of thrift, rather than poverty in the emigrant. And of this the superiority of the new Southwestern over the new North western States, which will appear by a comparison of their property and popula tion, is ample proof. But the impression exists that the pop illation of the South as a section is really Stationary, or is declining. And this be ing assumed, it is regarded as evidence that the people of the South are migrat ing, either from dissatisfaction with its Institutions or with its progress and pros pects,' or that the vices peeuliar to its sys tem are unfavorable to the increase of its population or that all these combine to depopulate her. But all this is a mistake. If we deduct from the free States the foreign emigra tion and its offspring, the residue, repre senting the native population, does not in dicate so great a natural increase as the more distant are the more seldom seen. The ancient poets, w ho' thought that the lower regions were the abode of great and good men, as well as bad. located the entrance in a remote and solitary place. Thus Homer conducts Ulysses on his visit to the shades of his brother warrior Greeks, bodied meu, who it appears connor, or what is worse, will not earn a subsistence; and if such be the case, what must o the condition of the great mass of people hanging on the verge of pauperism, but withheld by an honorable pride from ap plying for public charily. ' Now, throughout the greater part; of. Virginia and Kentucky, pauperism is al: most unknown. I passed some time ago the poor house of Campbell county Kcn- tucky,-tn the opposite side of the river, ' to a thinly settled country of dark skinned I antl 'here was not a solitary inmate. And A-wrr people. " When lo, we reached old Ocean's utmost bounds. Where rocks control his waves with ever-during mounds. There in a lonely land and gloomy cells, The dusky nation of Cimmeria dwells, There he found the portals of the infer nal world. So Virgil conducts Eneas to the sombre and solemn forest of the Cu mean Sybil. But with our improved con ceptions of the character of that place and its inmates, and the most direct avenues to approach it, the modern Epic poet who desires to give his hero a view of if, will have to fix the gateway in the heart of a great city, where the vices bold their rev els. Tis there " The gates of Hell are open night and day, Smooth the descent and easy is the way." It cannot be said that the excessive mor tality among the males of the North, is v. t Sill and WILMINGTON,; ARE RUNNING I; MrtjfcGovAGltA JUJU, (20 inch draft) j wJot; MlKE KM) VN, Secrets of Inquisition. The correspon dent of the London Daily News describes a visit he had paid to the many small, dark and damp dungeons of the inquisi tion at Home, which have lately beqn thrown open to the public.

These have been esti- exisieu among tne native population, or mated at half the number registered in the custom house. Assuming, however. so much exempt from the corrosive action of cities on property and population, has made such rapid progress in wealth Thus, then, the superior productiveness of agricultural labor, the great intrinsic value as articles of necessity of; its pro- i the whole number to be a million, which ducts, the extravagant style of living in j is the lowest estimate I have seen, their towns and cities, and finally, the( ruinous j natural increase in the twenty years, could waste of human life and labor they occa- j not have been less than half a million sion, are reasons enough to account for making 1,500,000. Now the white popu tlje fact previously demonstrated, of the j lation of 1840, in the free States" was such as is found at the South, Massachu setts ought to have an excess of twenty two thousand femalesibeyond the due pro I have known a populous coanty in Vir ginia to have but one. r It has generally been supposed that the paupers of Massachusetts and New Yprk are principally foreign emigrants IJut this is a mistake. In the 5,580 paupers of Massachusetts, in 1836, only 1192 wtfte; of foreign birth but little over one fifth,1 which does not probably exceed the pro-! portion then, of that population in the State. In 1845, of 1016 persons admitted into the alms houses of Boston, 490 were foreign, of -whom 392 were Irish ; but that was the year of Irish famine. In 1848, of 18,993 paupers received into the alms houses of Massachusetts, 7,413 weje for-, eigners. We do not know what propor tion of the people of that State are for-! eigners ; in Boston there is about one third. -When pauperism extends to the class that are able to labor, it is evident that the wages of labor arc reduced to the cost of subsistence. And hence the wholes class must be subjected to the melancholy; and terrible necessity of working, rather to avoid the poor house, than of bettering their condition. And the pauper in an! alms bouse is a slave. He works under a master, and receives nothing but a sub sistence. And there are already in New York and Massachusetts, about one hun- portion. It is true that Massachusetts ded thousand persons in this condition; loses a portion of her male population by !

In 1820 it was 5,033.983, and has consequently had a natural in crease of 60 per eent. i The white population of the South was 1820, 2,833,585 and is now 4,635,637, emigration to the West, although s reinforced again by the excess of males in the foreign emigrants that have settled there. But there still remains a large portion who .must have perished by the sickness and vices of the towns and cities that contain so large a part of her people Boston alone, with its suburb towns, percent., whilst the whole population does not increase twenty percent, in ten years. In Cincinnati, the number of paupers, per manent and occasional, already amounts to two thousand. Whilst the property of the North is thus compelled to contribute to the support of d the zens is less, the aggregate wealth of the ! vhich exhibits a natural increase of 65 State is greater. This however, is of no : percent. I have included all the foreign having a population of 200,000, or nearly ;h's Srcat and growing burden, an one third of all the State.
