Mark well the balance in bushels, and the difference in value! Is either in favor of the South? No! Are both in favor of the North? Yes! Here we have unquestionable proof that of all the bushel-measure products of the nation, the free states produce far more than one-half; and it is worthy of particular mention, that _the excess of Northern products is of the most valuable kind_. The account shows a balance against the South, in favor of the North, of _seventeen million four hundred and twenty-three thousand one hundred and fifty-two bushels_, and a difference in value of _forty-four million seven hundred and eighty-two thousand six hundred and thirty-six dollars_. Please bear these facts in mind, for, in order to show positively how the free and slave States do stand upon the great and important subject of rural economy, we intend to take an account of all the other products of the soil, of the live-stock upon farms, of the animals slaughtered, and, in fact, of every item of husbandry of the two sections; and if, in bringing our tabular exercises to a close, we find slavery gaining upon freedom--a thing it has never yet been known to do--we shall, as a matter of course, see that the above amount is transferred to the credit of the side to which it of right belongs.
