B Y INVESTIGATOK For the benefit of those who do not relish abolitionism, but would 'rather bear the ills we have, than to My to others that we know not of," we will o-ive a sample vf i Helper s reasoning bv which he attempts j to prove the great advantages which abo lition would biin" to the South and the .1,.!, -!... r n- .r.l.. r ... 1C i' oi mo 'mpenuium, ho says: "Slavery has polluted and impoverished your lands; freedom will restore them to their virgin purity, and add from twenty to thirty dollars to tho value of every acre' Our farmers would bo pleased to have freedom perform a similar miracle iu this county. With such unreasonable asserlon3 s "ook filled. His comparisons baUeen the wealth, products, itc., ofthe

His excuse for n i- .....;. , . uaiuLj .111 1113 iwciuaiioiis on me prouuets ot that year, is, that the general census afibrds moto reliable information than cm be obtained from any other source since that lime. That we cannot get the statistics of but one year iu ten, is certainly news to tho people. His true reason for taking 1050, in preference to any other year, is because it best suits his purpose. We .admit ho does base a part of his ar"uments on years other than 1050, but the instances f.rc so few that, it is pl;lj they were selected solely becauso thev better served Ins one sided purpose. We will i ijivo an instance: Ou page 172 are given the exports of tho year IC.Vi, and the follows: footings aro as Free States, . S1G7.5 0,G.03 00 Slave States, 107,-I0,C8C t'O Excess of Free Stale exports C0,0-10,005 00 These are Helper's figures, and wo will admit their correctiiessjbut to show his unfairness, and desire to mislead in regard to general facts, wo will give a comparison based upon tho statistics of another year. The exports from the Uuited Slates during thc year ending Juno 3 Jib, lfJo7, were, from tho Free States, S1C2,701,GK 00 Slave Stales 105,739,310 00 Excess of free States IG,9G5,CD7 00 rrom this comparison ofthe figures
25 which Helper gives to subst,-in:i V his :J , sophistry, and those hicli lie lifts aupI pressed, it appears that his argument i 'Ü?' damaged to the tunc of frtr-firc niilli -nt
of d ilhtrs ! Helper srtys in Lis statistics ;ul nraments ho gives the lave State more tlmn tliey are entitled to, in order that they may not appear o insignificant. Does the above look it? If lie ',rs so rerj anxiou3 to do justice to hit "dar natir South," why did ho n d give the export! of 1C57, instead of 1C55? Another instance of th-ir misrepresentation of tl truo inte f lm-:n lelatir to tho wealth arid pioducls of the States, may be found in his comparisons of portion of th- five nnd sI.v Stales. He
2.00 compares Miiss.tciusetis with Xcrth Cari " 1 1 . . ....
onna. u ny nt compare the exports of Massachusetts with those of LouiiianM? As he has failed to do do this because it would not subserve his aim, we will fate the figures from his table of the exports of 1C53, and place them together, and the reader will s-e why he did not make the comp at ison: Fust wo will give the population of the two .States: rorrnTros- in Massachusetts Louii .nn 1855. .1,132,363 537,771 Excess of population in Massachusetts 544,695 EXPORTS OF 1855. Louisiana slave, ?55,367,P62 Massachusetts free, 28,190,925 I'xcess i i favor of Louis i-o 527, 177,037 Thus it will son that slaTehoIding Louisiana, with her disadvantages of J climate, ai d with little over half the pop- ! iil.il f T ... .1 .1 l . ui.nujii in .i.ibsaCJlUJseiLS, 1116 "lory Ol tlltt ; abolitionist, lacks but little of doubling j her exports. Hut we will take the year Unding June 30th, 1857, two years later j than the above; and counting tho increaso !of population equal, althoug-h Massachasetts has the advantage from emigration and excess of population to begin with, the disparity is still greater than in 1855, ; and in favor of Louisiana. Here are thd figures: ; Louisiana exported of Amercan produce 691,533,37! 00 Massachusetts, do 26,572,059 UO Excess in favor of Louisiana $4,966,315 00 or, more than three times as much, with only half the population, counting slaves and free negroes! In these comparisons, the difference in favor of a slave Slate, is greater than it is in favor ot freedom in any ofthe comparisons which ho makes. We do not pretend to say but that this is an ixtrsme case; yet it is no more than thoso which he cites; if his comparisons are just, so nr ours. The figures are correct, and th result is that recorded above. Head and ponder. Ilclperites. Helper gives s.aiibtics of internal impruvementsrailroads, canals, fcc which 1 over those of the slave t:. : -. . . r H,l eM'1 OlitlCS, IS IJOl, U 1 It I 111 .- .... .Heiner wuuld have ns b.dmv AttnhnrM , , . . , ' 1 'very, but may be traced to the nature of the climate, face of the country, and tho ncceSMty for such improvements. His statistics on this part of his subject are for the year 1C54, and at that time we see, from his tables, that six free State had tiot a mile of canal. Would he have us believe that the citizens of those State were an ignorant, lazy, thriftless, set of dolts? It must bo hi, else lie would not have given the table, the ostensible object f which was to how the want of enterprise ir. the Smith, and the advantages it gave to the North. To huw huv his mode of "comparison," which he sayg is such a powerful witness for freedom, w uld work in the matter of canal, we compare a follows: SI.WK STATICS. VII KS.

California 000 Iowa O0O Michigan 000 Khode Iidand,.000 Vermont 000 Wisconsin, ...000 By this method of reasoning, we Can drivo the Helperites to tho admiskion, which they ought to male without any coercive measures, namely: that the number of miles of canal within the limits of a State, does not depend upon, nor is it legulated by, slavery or freedom. Such improvements are'dependent upon the necessities of .thb country and the practicabili.y of, 'ljeir Construction, Inking into consideration their cost, and tho leveuuo they wc uld probably yield.
