Whatever clso wo havo to complain of on the port of the Sou tli Carolina school of eccos- sioniats, we thank them nt least for this that they at last thrown off tho mask. They no longer profess to be national men, they profess only lovo for tho extreme South with a reservation of supremo love for South Carolina. admit a long, decp-fcated Imtad of tlio Union, whoso destruction, as ono of the leaders proclaims, they have sought for years.

The facts of history sustain tho honesty of his admission. It apparent that tho rebellion cow is uot against 'Abraham Lincoln for ho is as yet private citizen. It not against any actuf a Republican administration, which might bo supposed even in tho slightest particular, to impair the rights of the South, for no such act can have been perpetrated and, as Mr. Douglas tells us, Mr. Lincoln is utterly powerless, with Congress against him ay well as tho supremocourt, to perpetrate any such act ctcn if be desired which all his speeches declare that ha docs not.

Tho rebellion is distinctly arid emphatically against the right of tho will of tho people of tho United States, constitutionally cxpristcd. is revolt ngainot what Mr. lianiwcll Ithct calls a "vulgar Yankee majority," but what we at the North recognize as tho fundamental principle of free government, the right of tho majority to rulu within the constitutional limits which protect tho natural rights of tho minority.

To tlie aggregate of 1800, are an- cxcd for the purporc of comparison, those obtained in tho way in the yrar 1850; but it is necessary to consider the changes which havo been mado in tho form of tho returns in order to make a just comparison.

In this and other 1 winch wi need not now ipecify, the reader must bo on his gourd not to in-- ferenccs from a superficial examination ot i the of tho two they aro con-' trastcd in the Tlio indicate a moct satisfactory and solid increase In tbo 'prosperity 'of the State. Tho number of dwelling which perhaps, the fairett index 'of tho stability of any people, increased from 134,033 in 1850to lEOO.whioh Is a tlight fraction moro than 'the rate of thirty ptr cent. Tho ratable tnlU have increased from 233, 094 in 1850 to in i 18GO, which is something moro tlan the of 21 per cent. It is gratifying to observe that the number of (male i up- ported by the town) has from 18i5 to 158C.

Tho number of has increased Ir-m 74,701 of from to of cows from 152,911 to 82. Tho number of oxen, sleep aud swine Bppcara to have diminished. We ought to say, however, that tho State census of 1855 returned as many as 175,311 "dwellings," in Massachusetts at that time, which is a few moro than tho valuation rtv' turns of tho procnt year. In precisely' tho' eamo way, the census of 1850 returned 335 dwellings; while tho valuation returns of the tamo venr counted but 134,038, stated in the preceding paragraph. This fact, ws presume, Is only to bo explained by the dif-' iercnt principles upon which tho census valuation tables are constructed.

The latter, having exclusive reference to tho tush) of tox- ation, aro apt to diminish numbers. Valuation Jlelurni Summary of gatet tht Stele, in I860 and 1850. nliblt, tweutr old ilalcrolli not tbetuMu IJ 'olli luiitiottul tr tht town lllnjc boum. 176XW7 xlililnor idjolnlrrtoilwtl. 6.304 1800.
