Up to 1830, but oilo railway connected the great ihterijr lakes with the tide water, and that wns restricted . in the carriage of freght except on the payment of canal tolls." Provious to 'ho commencement of the last decade, by tar the greater proportion cf railways were in the Atlantic States —isohited Hnes for local traffic. There was then but one important line in the V/est — a rude -construction, dev«*ted tr) tho carrying trade and manslaugter, bctiveen Cincinnati and Sandusky. What iu 1850 was without form and void,- so far as purposes of general internal commerco wore concerned, i-^ now.raBS of tha vact. web of railways oonslrnctcd during the dccad-), the ii ternational cwnmorco of the country hx* (frown into stupen- dous proportions. The tonnags per annum of the railways c<.mleted in 1860 is estimated at 20,000,000 ton.", v;i.lued at 83,9:^-0, 000; 000. Three cjnty^rs of this hug-e internal commerce has been created since 1850. It is the chiid of American railway system— a trade among our own peopJe, larger than that at«take when George III, in his endeavor to control tha triuie, lo^t both trade and p.eoplo of Ms American folonies. Itl>iS50 there \rer8 8 5'JO 76 miles (.r tho remainder, is put down at 31.900,000,000 — en incre:i.«e of more thiMi 86 per 6cbt in -ten years. If to this amount were a'dded the ag- gregate of mechanicMl produetions bol.ow the annual valuo of 53500— of which the c!?ns.nF takes no account — tho result, in Mr. Kennedy's words would bo o ;e of st!*rt^flig' magnitude.

Wherever, ill the States?, the people have enjoyed the advantafj;© of slave labor, they have be»n distinguished by their general iiidiiRtrial prosperity nnd superiority in wealth and social happiness over similar communitios, which have not enjoyed the use of slave labor. ''hroughont all tlu. slixvs holding States those couutieG which have the greatest araouut of slave labor have attained a higher degrro of perity than any other counties in the Unite J States, either Norlli or iih. Iiroughoutthe slave labor, or more properly mixed labor States, thofo counties which approximate nearest to the condition of the white 1 ibor States by huviii;^ the smallest number ol nej^ro slave laborers, are in the ^^ t backward- condition, as to general prosperity and social progress, contribute lea-st to the Support of government^* education and rc- •n- .s arnatter of common observation by travelers and business men, it .y be stated that of all social institutions which have ever been do- vised for improving the coudiliou of society, and especially of^tho la- boring population —for checking the progress of pauperism crime, aud ' -oaso — for streiigtheninor the spirit of conatitutional liberty, and pro- i.ing the growth and diffusion of sincere religion, and of tha spirit rieudship and brother-hood araon^ men, negro slave labor has been most tfBciont. riiroughont the mixed labor States the burthens of Government, education, etc., ere chiefly snpporled by those, comities which havd a liberal supply of f-lave labor. There is noLhing ppeculaiiv© or uifbertain in liie vast agjEe^atcB of wealth produced by slave labor. It is an inexhaustible supply of wealth. The annual agricoltural productiau of the mixed labor States forms a greater iiggregafe of value than the agricultural prpductiona of tha whole wliite labor S'ates, with twice the population o( white laborers. it may, therefore, be justly affirmed that agriculture in the mixed lebor Mates is far more productive to the citizens, in ])roportioii to the uuin- :■, than the agriculture of ihe free labor Htates- Without rnuain^' a ".plele parallel, \vs may glance at the following leading )u'oduota, ich indicate, as far as they go, that the people in the mixed labor .Slaies derive from a;;ficuliure twice as largo returns, ie proportion to t'!eir free population, as those of the free labor JStates, which hud twica yatiny whites : , 'C'^-IQ JM:red Ladar States^ including 'th,c District of * Columbia, i^or-ses, Bushel Corn J^lules, Asses.

Mixed labor. States are naturally more favorable to education aud , rclijrioa than exclusively free labor States. Free labor communitios aro iihvay* prevented by poverty from doing fud justice to emicdtiou by j)riya'e action, and are never ;xenora!ly educated excep_t by the authority of Government. ^ * ^ llie excess of puupers in the free labor^ States in 1850 was 11. "^,708, and ibeir excess of convicted criminals was, in the sixteen froe labor States, 19,4;«9. When in the course of a few generations, the mixed Ubor States shall have bcarrcly one illiterate in li^e hundred, the free labor Stales will iiave a million of paypers and eiin)inals, and in every reverse of trade a fur greater nuniber. The assertion that slave labor is nnfavovable to the spread of religion, ia anodier of those reckless asserl'ons which are believed, like the un- profitablene.^s of slave labor and other falsehoods of the same group. The truth is that negro slavery has, in the U«ited States, never hinder- ed, but always favored religion, and hss been the means of -civilizing and i>f thoroughly Christianizing about twice, as many of the heathen race* as all the missionary enterprises of ;tll Protestant Christendom cu)i)binod. The negro race must either pass ihrough the apprenticeship of elavcry nnder the white race, to attain civilization or religion, or they must in time utterly parish, like other barbarians. In the mixed labor Stales, religion has been, perhaps, hindered in iff propacation by the vastness of their territory and sparsseness of rtieir population. Never- thele.w, they are not behind any olher people in the evidences of piety. - Under the delusive idea that African slavery v/as prejudicial to the welfare of the white race, the experiment of abolishing negro slavery was tried in the Northern States on a smn!! scale — too small for the conimunity to feel it as a calamity or to know its true result except by careful investigation. "\V© see one result in tho fact ttiat the most Northern States aro the poorest, and pauperism i--* coniinualiy encroach- ing upon their laboring populatio.i, notwitlistanding their laborious iu- diL^lry and pinching economy. We see also that tlie emancipated negroes'are a blighted race- Thoy perish from poverty, vice and igncrancej and the loss of the friendly care of while families. From 1790^o 1850 they have increfi-sed, with all the additions by fugitifes t^nd by emancipJiuon- probably 30,000 or 40,000— only from 67,479 to 196,026, while the slave negBo population in the sajuo time has increased .'"rom 657,257 to 3,204,31.3. Had llio emancipation folly been embraced by all tho States at tho commoucj- nicni of our national existence, and produced similar results in. all, Ukn number of the negro population would have been ia lS50„not3,': 413, but 1,957,352. The enj-ancipation law would have struck existence l,246,9Gl victims in the j'.ame of p^ulanthropy, and th. vivor*would have been, not tho useful, orderly, and largely Chrisliu laborers that we now have, bat would have been as freene-jroe: eve:ywherc — an incumbratkce upon society.
