Before the war the Southern
States were producers of.. in an

which they exported and sol'd.
Fhef iyt"e not tnanifacturers or

)f the Middle States, all f>uud
their way to the South for sale, to
n -extent, equal- to the produc

South grow rich upon such a sys

tnd a refined people. .Perhaps so.

a manufacturing country, anxious
to sell the commodities she prc
duced, in the best markets and to
import in lieu thereof; what were
to her the hixuries. of human ex
istence, such as corn, p6rk, beef,
flour, etc. Oar North-eastern
States demanded protectlon by a
high tariff for the purpose of secu
ring the profits of the agricultural
consumption of manufactured
goods at their mwn rates. Our!
Southern States *anted free trcde,
to choose the best market for the
sale of their staple and- the lowest
fbr their-purchases. But the rich
est and most independent country
is that which ctig supply all lwr
necessaries and ltxuries from pro
ducts at home and- yet have
enough to spare of staple articles,
to make a market wherever she
pleases. And this is. precisely
-what our South can do. She need
-not fear tariffs nor manufaeturing
competition: But she wants ad
ditional popiilation and capital- to
be successful. "A people, which
possesses cotton as a principal
product of its own soil, could in
crease beyond precedent in the
production of that class of fabric,
which now enters the most large,
ly into huian contnp.tioni and
which holds" the highest rank
-in, the industrial occupations of
th6 world." Sir Matoi Peto, in
his recent work on the resonnes
and prospe-ts of A merica, says :
.froim retarns made to the-govern
ments of Frusgia and -Bavatrh for
seven yeais' by emigrants, 'who
left these countries with offiial
permission, it.appears, that they
earriedeach to America an average
amount of 180 dollars in. cash.
The United States - officials calcs
late, that the - immigrants have
brought into the country not' lcss
than 400.000,000 dollars in <-ash,
bisides the much superior values
re'1resentcd by their pliysical, in-!
telectual and, mpral. powv-ers." I
have already on a former occa
sion referred to the above suject.
It strik!s 'tfe;. t4rtit if any one
would only take "he J.tble to
calculate the amount above men

tr&ordinary developments of ~our

with my ecent--address at Flo

embody fiearly all the ayvaflab!e
t.ioncd many'matters, which I did
not wish to repeat to-day. Ap
prehensions have been expressed as
to the experne of the keeping
of European employees in view of'
their habits of living, which I had
then explained. I stated at the
time;.that I adverted .to that sub
ject-merely for information, and I
have not the least f'ar of any dif
ficulty in that regard. Where
men are dispgsed well to .-'ne an
other and endeavouring to be mi
tualy agreeable, no cause .of coin
p)hitit can arise; which cannot be
very easily arranged: The great
abjection, thtt the Southern planf
-rs urge against the scheme seens
to be the incompatibility of Euro
pern labor with large plantations,'
and their minds are so biassed in
favour of that time-honored sys
tenm,. that tht bare sugestion of_
tiy other plan of industry makes
them -feel uncotfort4ble. But this
is the result of habit, and yet. I re
peat again, I want:to keep every
f'reedmman in the. State, if I can.'
and I would not object. for a mo
ment to let every planter, that
finds it profitable . and tas the
nieanti. continue hispresentsystem
of agriculture. I understand very

At the same-tine P would" again
urge,-that'a system of smallfarims
as an auxiliary to. the .plitntion I
system is not oUly invaluable, but.

Land is always cheap,wherc labor
is uncertain and scarce. When
ever laboring power increases and .
becomes productive, lands. rise in
value accordingly. In the sparsely
populated regions of' America an
acre of land tnuy be earned by one
days labor, whereas in Belgium,
llaohind, Germany, England and
France it.will take the labor of
rearly three months, only to pay
the rent for an acre of land, and
the labor of five years will hardly
be enough to purchase it. Our

millions ,inhabitants, and lands!
