Toe physicians all gave mo up to die, and said they could do no more for me.

The rnoftt notable feature of the State Fair recently held in Columbia was the captivating addresses of Hon. H. P. Kimball and Governor Vance. Mr. Kimball, a representative of the Winne bago Agricultural Society, of Illinois, was first introduced, who spoke as fol? lows : When Governor Hampton honored the people of our State with his visitation as their orator and guest, he brought his speech in bis head. Compelled by the laws of necessity, I have brought mine in my pocket. As I came Southward in the cars, anticipating that your good rsople would invite me to say something, wrote down a few incoherent ideas and statements. Fresh from my farm, with my hands calloused with recent toil, and coming among a people with whom ora? tory is a natural gift, you will certainly have patience for a few moments, if for no other reason than that I am the old defender of yonr honor and the truest friend that South Carolina has in the North. The present is a most auspicious occa? sion. The motives which have prompted this exchange of fraternal feeling are in? spired by no party considerations. We meet together in. a philantropic spirit, taming our backs upon the memories of a bloody conflict, and clasping our hands in a .united effort to make our country more glorious and permanent in the fu? ture. Illinois, that empire of the prairie States, whose vast surplus of agricultural products constitutes her the . cornucopia of the West, sends her greetings to South Carolina, and invites her co-operation in the cultivation of those sentiments so eminently calculated to make the citi? zens of this republic a prosperous and homogeneous people. Sectional agita? tion has been the desperate strategy of an ultra school of politicians, who, for personal aggrandizement, (having never confronted the perils of the battle field,) have sown broadcast over the land the dragon's teeth of alienation and strife. There exists a numerous class of dema? gogues throughout the land, who ignore the principles- of our glorious constitu? tion and intentionally di?regard the fun? damental truth of political economy, that peace and tranquility are the essen? tial conditions of a nation's prosperity. With impious hands they tear open the wounds of discord which were well nigh healed, stir np the elements of dissension, and, preferring their own advantage to the nation's welfare, they rely npoo the prejudices of the ignorant to secure for them official patronage and power. This conti Dual repetition of sectional ani? mosities by parly politicians tends to dis? tract the public mind, disturb our busi? ness relations and check the diffusion of capital. It is everywhere the ruling sen? timent of the people, despite the ambi? tions of politicians, that the progress and perpetuity of our nation, in the mutual development of its vast industrial and commercial interests, must depend on the united and loyal sentiment of the citizens of the whole country. The pow? er and influence of sectional agitators are rapidly dying away.' The people in their majesty are rising above the incentives of revenge to a higher and broader plane of general amnesty and disinterested pa? triotism. Standing upon the bright threshold of this new era, we everywhere behold the marshaling of our nation's industrial hosts beneath the white ban? ner of reconciliation and peace. From every foundry and workshop in the land we catch in our eager and listening ears the pulsations of those mighty forges, forever chanting the anthem of a higher civilization, as they beat our useless swords into plowshares and reconvert the enginery of war into implements of hus? bandry and mechanical industries. From the bosom of our mother earth, where our dead heroes lie buried, our associated industries mast gather the materials to repair the desolations of war. The peaceful pursuits of agriculture are exempt from those distracting cares that infest all other department- of bus? iness ; and it is our lesson of experience that it is the best -adapted to the full development of the possibilities of the race. ,"x* . ' I congratulate the South Carolina State Board of Agriculture on the maintenance of a. permanent industrial organization. Such an association, with an annual ex? position of your manufactures and natu? ral products, constitutes the text book of your capabilities as a people, in which strangers may read the lessons of your achievements and progress. I congratulate you most cordially upon the public tranquility that reigns within your borders; the steady revival of your industries, and more especially upon your enfranchisement from that horde of political conspirators who, under the livery of the civil service and an incor? ruptible national party, (?) plundered your treasury, bribed your representa? tives, impaired your public credit, and with unblushing effrontery outraged every principle of justice and honor. The condition of South Carolina under the usurpations of carpet-bag misrule finds a striking analogy in that legend of classical mythology which represents Prometheus enchained to Mount Cauca? sus by Jupiter, and whose puuisbment was aggravated by a ravenous vulture, tbat descended upon him and devoured his liver, which grew in the night as much as it was consumed in the day. The league of the carpet-bag dynasty has, for a decade of years, constituted the political vultures of the South, who have preyed upon her resources, devoured her substance, crippled her industries and loaded her with unparalleled bur? dens of taxation and debt. Betribution, personified by one of the ancient Furies, armed with a scourge of venomous scor? pions in one hand and a battery of quiv? ering lightniugs in the other, should pursue these infamous miscreants, fugi? tives from justice, who are profaning the sanctuary of our national capital, and drive them from the boundaries of civil- j ization. South Carolina stands upon the same proud eminence with Illinois and Massachusetts in the vindication of ber rights of self-government and her consti? tutional privileges as a sovereign State. The general government cannot impose disabilities upon one without degrading and humiliating the other. The confed? eration of tbe United States under the constitution affords a striking similitude to tbe physical anatomy of man. The two hemispheres of the human brain are typified in the two co-ordinate branch? es of our national legislature. Both are, united in the closes sympathy with the needs and functious of the remotest parts. Sever an artery or dislocate a joint, and immediately the telegraphic system of nerves sends the dispatch to the most minute and delicate fibre, and the whole physical constitution languishes with Buffering. So it must bo in the adminis? tration of our national government. Every measure of tyranny and proscrip? tion enforced against a free and sovereign State reacts with the most deleterious results upon the whole country. Coer? cive measures cannot paralyze the indus? tries and commerce of South Carolina without depleting the national exchequer. Ouly in the mutual and increasing de velopment of the natural resources of each State of this great coqfmonwealth, imposing a check on the^ncentration of capital, can our nation attain its high? est possible destiny. Whtn tbe general government, under the specious pretext of retaining the insubordination of your citizens, established a military encamp? ment of armed soldiery upon the campus of your State capitol, every' other State must have recoiled beneath tbe 'itigma and humiliation of tbe outrage. Already indications are clearly discern able that a brighter era of industrial pro? gress will eventually dispel tbe stagna? tion and financial gloom that, like the shadows of a dark eclipse, seems to have settled down upon your honored State. Tbe change in your political system, forced upon you by the reconstruction measures, afforded some compensation in the change that became a necessity in your industrial system. Before the war, the lands of the cotton States belonged almost exclusively to an aristocracy of wealth. One reservation after another was cultivated, until the last elements of fertility were exhausted in the production of cotton, which was exchanged for for? eign gold. The ambition of planters to cultivate large estates, under which method impoverishment of the soil with? out restitution was continually occurring, placed them in circumstances that they bad only time to sow and gather up tbe harvest. That system of agriculture, then so prevalent,- growing out of the possession of large estates, and conse? quently a hurried industry, ignored every principle of agricultural economy. The land is as honest a thing as there is in nature. If you keep it hungry, then poverty and destitution, like famished wolves, will be in wait at your own doors. The-highest eulogy that could be possi? bly sculptured in marble, in commemo? ration of tbe labors of the husbandman, is "He has left bis farm better than he found it." It was Virgil, whose classic genius in the conception of the Eneid il? luminated the reign of Augustus, who attend this impoverished maxim: "Praise large farms, but cultivate small, ones." It was grand old Homer who sang of the garden-, of Alconious: "Four acres was tbe allotted piece of ground, Hemmed by a green enclosure all around." We have no right to cultivate more land than we can preserve in its original fertility. We are imposing a heavy bur? den on posterity in the impoverishment of our rich alluvial lands, in the removal of their most available elements by a system of surface culture, making them articles of commerce, while we return nothing in exchange. Citizens of South Carolina?In the di versi fixation of your industries, ir 'be in? crease of your commerce, in the more equal distribution of your landed estates, instituting a more thorough system of culture, and securing a greater diffusion of capital, lie the possibilities of your future progress and prosperity. You belong to a proud and honored lineage. The people who originally fixed their habitations in the warm latitudes of the sunny South possessed more culture and greater chivalry and nobility of character than the Puritans, who sought an asylum on the barren andstorm-beaten coast of New England. Those noble and hospitable traits of character, ever fos? tered by an aristocracy of wealth and transmitted from an aristocracy of genius, are conspicuous in the Southern charac? ter to-day. If the memory of my school days has not failed me, I think it was that gallant knight, Sir Walter Raleigh, who first navigated your shores and awakened the solitudes of your wilder? nesses with the quiet accents of our mother tongue. lie was succeeded by that heroic adventurer, James Edward Oglethorpe, clothed with the powers to exercise the functions of a Governor, who sailed into Charleston, harbor in the good ship Anne, with a colony of 114 persons, in January, 1783. The address of Loinochichi, one of the principal orators of the Creeks, upon the conclusion of the treaty with Oglethorpe I regard as one of the finest passages of aboriginal eloquence. "Here is a present," said the chief; "I give you a buffalo's skin adorned on the inside with tbe head and feathers of an eagle, which I desire you to accept, be? cause the eagle is an emblem of speed and the buffalo of strength. The Eng? lish are swift as the bird and strong as the beast; since like tbe former, they flew over vast seas to the uttermost parts of the earth, and like the latter, they are so strong nothing can withstand them. The feathers of tbe eagle are soft and signify love; the buffalo's skin is warm and signifies protection; therefore, I. hope the English will protect their little families." I wish more of that untutored savage's benevolent temper and magnanimity, might pervade tbe radical sentiment of the North. Recently perusing the fol? lowing vivid and picturesque description of your State, written by the poet Waller, full a century and a half ago, a migratory feeling came over me, and I concluded to join the flight of our Northern birds to test the beauty of your scenery and the salubrity of your climate: "The spring which but salutes us here Inhabits there and courts them all the year ; Ripe fruits and blossoms on the same tree live; At once they promise what at once they give; So sweet the air, so moderate the clime, None sickly lives or dies before his time. Heaven sure has kept this spot of earth uncurscd To show how all things were created first." From that primitive period the history of South Carolina is illuminated by as bright a galaxy of orators and statesmen who have reflected honor upon their country as any other State can boast. Her Calbouns, her Hayn es, her McDuf fies, her Marions and her Hamptons, en? dowed with the highest gifts of states? manship, have justly earned their im? mortality. In the annals of our country, their public services and private virtues will be commemorated until time shall be no longer. There are other charac? teristics which have ever distinguished the citizens of your State, upon which no imputation of reproach has ever rested, and those are your honor, your heroism and your hospitality. It is my highest aspiration that South Carolina may yet rise from the Gethsemane of her sorrows and her sacrifices more fair and beautiful than Aphrodite when she rose from the foam of the boisterous sea. Fellow-Citizens?Two years ago, con? vinced that the material welfare of the country had been too long sacrificed to the interests of local politicians, that our nation was weary of contention and needed repose, our industrial association had the honor of inviting his Excellency Jefferson Davis, ex-President of the Southern Confederacy, to be its orator and guest, and to participate in the hos? pitalities of itB annual reunion. It was tbe inherent nobility of those political principles, long cherished and openly vindicated by tbe members of our official board, guaranteeing to evenr citi? zen amnesty, liberty and equality before the law, that inspired them to reach out a hand of welcome to the united South, in a hearty ovation to its former distin? guished representative. This act of our society's magnanimity occurred upon tbe eve of our nation's centennial. The -pa? triotic sentiment was then universally expressed that a reunited South aud North, with every dissension healed, should, in a covenant of friendship and trust, lay upon the holy altars of our lib? erties the trophies of their industries. To demonstrate in diviner amplitude that fraternal and chivalrous sentiment which inspired the heroes of Fitz Hugh Lee's Palmetto Legion and those of Mas? sachusetts to bury their enmities in the classic soil of Bunker Hill, our associa? tion opened wide the doors of its hospi? tality. They had not forgotten that Robert Toombs," accepting on a time the invitation of the citizens-of Massachu? setts, discussed the "Divine right of slavery" in old Fanueil Hall, that cradle of our national liberties. The fact was fresh in their memory still that Horrace Greeley, after the cessation of hostilities, accepted the invitation to address the State Agricultural Association of Texas, There were no indignation meetings, no bitter remonstrances from the soldiers in gray to heap personal insult upon the old philosopher, or revive in his mind mem? ories that would be painful to bear. Yet, for half a century he waged a violent crusade against the policy and institu? tions of the South, and hurried the fiercest invectives against her political representatives. Our industrial association, in its invi? tation to the honorable and venerable ex-President, the impersonation, in an eminent degree, of the genius and aspir? ations of the South, aimed to unite the industrial interests and co-operative spirit of both sections beneath the pro? tecting banner of a restored and united nationality. Ten long years of bitter ac? ceptance of the irreversible results of civil war upon the part of the South should be sufficient to write a law of gen? eral amnesty, higher than President's can grant, upon the heart of every Northern citizen?an amnesty embracing in its broad philanthropy the restoration of all rights*and immunities that existed when Northern and Southern blood mingled in a common sacrifice on Mexican soil. Both sections of our common country, in ! their geographical position and their varied productions^ united also by broad and navigable rivers, are inseparably as? sociated in their commercial and indus? trial interests. If the fertility of. our prairies fills the granaries of a continent; the capacity of your soil in its cotton supply feeds the manufactures of a world. In behalf of our nation's centennial,' which has recently passed?in behalf of our diplomatic relations with the great civilized nations of Europe, which respect governments in proportion to their strength and unity?in behalf of our vast undeveloped resources, which should in? terlink our States in bonds of mutual sympathy stronger than steel, we appeal to the patriotism and magnanimity of the whole country to bury in one grave of eternal oblivion their sectional animosi? ties. Personally, it would have afforded me the greatest satisfaction to have extended to the venerable ex-President the hospi? talities of my bumble borne. In the re visitation of the old tramping ground of his earlier years, it would have delighted his heart to have realized the rapid de? velopment of the West in those illimita? ble reaches of wild, rolling prairie trans? formed into fruitful farms and dotted all o?er with flourishing homesteads, and its magnificent water courses resounding with the anthem of our mechanical in? dustries. It would have kindled my enthusiasm to have sat down by bis side and listened to.the recital of his eventful experience in the musical cadences of that voice, which, on great occasions, had aforetime, hushed the chambers of the national capital by the irresistable pathos of its eloquence. I fain would have enriched his experience with the realizations of the fullest hospitality that the reminis? cence of his pleasant sojourn with us, might hereafter, steal in upon the quiet evening of his.life, like a remembered strain of sweet and delicious music. Did the invitation of the Winnebngo County Agricultural Society, to the dis? tinguished ex-President, so illustrative of the diviner qualities of our humanity, compromise in the least, the loyalty,, the magnanimity or the Christianity of the North? If it did, then a life of perfect Christian integrity would compromise the "Sermon on the Mount." ' ! Under the classic civilizations, it was prohibited that any inscription comment morative of the struggles of internecine war, should be sculptured npon iron, brass or marble. Has our civilization gained nothing of magnanimity and principle in the progress of two thou? sand years? Has our American repub? lic reversed the law of national progress and adopted the law of retaliation of the federal times? Our industrial Association, that took the initiative step in the cause of recon? ciliation, in its invitation to President Davis, on a more recent occasion made conspicuous its strong fraternal feelings to the citizens of South Carolina in its hospitalities to your distinguished Gov? ernor, the Hon. Wade Hampton. You remember in the Oriental legend how that the Magil discovering a star in the East followed it until its benignant , beams shown down, illuminating the birth place of the infant Messiah. The eyes of the whole North, intently watching the changes in the kaleido? scope of public events, discovered a star of the first magnitude, rising in full orbed splendor, above the'political hori? zon of South Carolina. This planet genius possessed quite an eccentric orbit. On one occasion it flashed out in marvel? ous brilliancy from the meridian at Au? burn, N. Y., and on another, at White Sulphur Springs, Va., it diffused its daz? zling splendors. Under the instructions of our official managers, I determined, by the assist-' ance of some principle of physics or met? aphysics, to divert this luminary from its orbit and compel it to revolve around the northern section of Illinois. When I wrote my first letter of invita? tion to your Governor, I must have felt as Mahomet did, when he addressed the mountain. It was highly complimentary that one. or the other should accept to se? cure the interview. I continued sending invitations! and telegraphic dispatches, and to be relieved of my persistency, and for the good i it might accomplish, the mountain at last consented to move. The visitation of your honored Gov? ernor had a most salutary influence upon our community. When he appeared be? fore that immense concourse of intelli? gent citizens, who had swarmed from the vast prairies and populous cities of our State, it occurred to me that there must have rushed into hia mind a feeling of wonder and inspiration kindred with that of the great evangelist, who saw in his vision of the apocaJypso "a great multi? tude which n a man could number." You are familiar with the legend of the state? ly ship that sailed along the shores of the magnetic mountain. Suddenly its rivets and rings, its bolts and bars were spirited away by an irresistible and invisible power, and the huge vessel dissolved into fragments that drifted away bn the toss? ing billows. As the Governor continued his address, I discovered in the faces of a fer .he expression of prejudice, brighten into welcome, and the frown of antagon? ism softoQ into the smiles of approbation. Like the magnetic mountain, the wisdom and nobility, tbe conservative and con? ciliatory spirit of his utterances irresisti? bly drew out tbe bolts and bars of bigotry and prejudice, which had so long ex? cluded the diviner qualities of the heart. The unwavering confidence of the Ameri? can people in the heroic principle and integrity of the Governor's character, their united appreciation of the lofty pa? triotism which inspires his public ad? dressee, and their endorsement of the impartial justice of his administration, constitute the "golden stairway" of op? portunity for the future realization of his highest ambition. Already the Gov? ernor's address has been incorporated with the historical records of our county, which are upon the eve of publication, a copy of which work will be transmitted to him, with the compliments of the pub? lisher. Honorable members of the State Board of South Carolina, in behalf of the North? ern Illinois Industrial Association, I grasp your hands in token of the sin-' cerest and truest fellowship. If there be one obligation which tbe members of our society esteem more sacred than another, it is that of promoting, by every just aha hospitable method, a feeling of amity and confidence among all the citizens of this great republic. The late civil dis? sension resulted from tbe chafing and an? tagonisms of our industrial and political interests and the persistent encroach? ment of the usurpations of one section upon the rights of another. The strate? gies of war resemble the marvellous com? binations of a chess-board. We cannot determine what unseen powers, holding in their trusts tbe destinies of nations, stand unseen by the heroes of the conflict, giving them nerves of valor and sinews of strength. The Almighty has as much direct agency in the establishment and subversion of empires, republics and civilizations as he has in the formation of an island or continent. No reproach, in a general view, can be imposed on the South or North for the part they took in the war. Revolutions are God's methods for restoring an equi? librium in the. political world, as much as volcanoes and. earthquakes are his instru? ments for quelling the internal convul? sions of a planet. The law of antagon? ism has been the law of national devel? opment and the exponent of its progress [ through all ages. * The political dogma that all men are created free and equal is established on no principle of reason, nature nor phi? losophy. The equality is only one of privilege, not powert?one of opportunity and not achievement. Before individuals, peoples and races can assert their claims of equality with others, they must justify their claim with equal evidences of abili? ty and accomplishment. Before we can attain equality with a Calhoun, Webster and Clay, we must show evidence of pos? sessing their quality and quantity of be? ing. To be a Bonaparte, we must scale the Alps with our victorious legions and inscrbe victory on our banners in the "presence of forty generations looking down from the heights of yonder pyra? mids." To be a Newton, we must meas? ure the velocities of God's invisible cou? riers, electricity and light measure the inter-stellar spaces, and poise the solar systems in tbe balances of our calcula? tion. To be a Morse or Field, we must first tame tbe lightning, and then build a highway of thought under the sea'. To be a Hampton, we must have the moral heroism to stand, in oar right and majes? ty, before tbe highest powers of the na? tion and exclaim: "I have not come here for any compromise. I have been elec? ted Governor of South Carolina by tbe expressed will of a majority, and, by the Eternal, I will be Governor or 50,000 valiant sons of South Carolina will unite to defend my claim." T have yet to learn where a man has earned his immortality by the surrender of his convictions or the compromise of his honest principles. Before the Anglo Saxon race shall abdicate their position of white supremacy, the colored and mixed races rau-t first eclipse them in their powers of invention and their achievement of engineering skill; they must construct pa vies, span the rivers with magnificent bridges, cover the con? tinents with networks of railroads, and adorn a literature with poetry, science and philosophy, they must organize poly? technic schools, endow universities and commemorate historical events in groups of sculpture and galleries of art Out? side the limits of the ancient Egyptian civilization, no vestiges of aqueducts, no iv-clad monuments,' illustrative of a higher civilization, have rewarded: the industry of modern geographical research in Africa. The Anglo-Saxon race in the versatility of their capabilities and the plentitude of their power will hold the sceptre of supremacy till time be no longer. Citizens of South Carolina, since the time when Sherman's army left its auto? graph of cannon shot upon the walls of your State House and outraged the prin? ciples of honor and humanity in the con? flagration of your city, you have been 1 made the victims of the foulest indigni? ties and conspiracies ; nnder the eyes of the nation, you have manifested a heroic patience and endurance. A noble and conservative spirit has preserved your honor unblemished and restrained all acts of insubordination. It is the aspiration of the citizens of II I linois that the Almighty who holds in [ his hands the destiny of nations will cast up a highway of material prosperity for the truly hospitable people of South Carolina. Colonel Taylor then presented Mr. Kimball with a bouquet of flowers sent to him by the ladies of South Carolina. Governor Hampton then rose and said: My irJ nds of South Carolina, tbe duty has been assigned to me, and I need not say with what pleasure I assume it, to present the gentleman who will follow tbe distinguished speaker from Illinois. He needs no introduction to tbe people of South Carolina. His name and his fame are dear to us, of the old South State?almost as dear to us as they are to his own countrymen in tbe old North State. He is known here as he is known there?as a true soldier, a tried patriot, an incorruptible statesman. He is known not as Governor Vance, but as Zeb Vance, in South Carolina; but be? fore I present him to you allow me to say one word in acknowledgment of the words that have fallen from the gentle? man from Illinois. This is the first pub? lic occasion since I returned where I have had the opportunity of expressing, as I do now, my high appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the people of Illinois for the greeting they gave me there. They extended to me as warm a welcome as I could have had at the hands of any people, and I feel proud to-day when my countrymen welcome that gentleman from the great State of the Northwest. He then introduced Gov. Vance, who spoke as follows: There is a destiny reserved for the peo Sle of the older or Atlantic Southern tates. The part they will be required to perform is, in my judgment, o'f prime importance to the future of hot only our common country, but of the English speaking race. That part consists in what is called?sometimes with a sneer? conservatism; the checking and steadying of the extravagant and precipitate ten dencies of oar anglo- American Democra? cy. This uncertain progression, the weak side of all popular governments, has exhibited a more dangerous 'develop? ment in these American States1 than m any other portion of the world. No? where are the sober checks of conserva? tism so much needed, so absolutely essen? tial to the preservation of the very ele? ments of liberty. Every circumstance of our condition feeds and stimulates our progressive dan ?;ers; and the still small voice of home: y prudence is drowned in the roar of the wheels which the national energies set in motion. We: glory in our untiring strength, in our limitless power. When we work in the fields of peace, it is our pride that we excel all others; when we war, even among ourselves, it is a battle of giants, and even when we steal it is with a colossal unity and on a scale of national magnificence that shames alike the petty larceny of the Christian, and the Turk. Occupying the broadest and most" fer? tile strip of this eurth which spreads be? neath the temperate belts of the sun, be? tween two great oceans, an empire of more than 3,000,000 square miles in ex? tent, not yet more than half subdued to civilization, the field of wealth and phy? sical power which the.vista ofthe future discloses is grander than any which ever old Roman or Spaniard gazed upon. Its :contemplation has ' bred a wondrous |, energy and a prophetic instinct which f evinces itself not only in-great deeds and, Sreater boasting, but in a most reckless is regard of moral means and a most dangerous contempt of consequences. In the major part of the Union this feeling characterizes the teaching im? parted to the young. A boy is taught, ! indirectly if not directly, that it is more.. I important to acquire a dollar than to un? derstand and jealously guard the free blood-bought institutions which enable him to earn that dollar and protect, him [in its enjoyment. The everlasting re? frain rung into his ears is to "develop" something by which money is to be made.: From the press, the school room, the hustings, the rostrum, the store room, the i work-shop and the fire-side, comes this , ceaseless lesson ; whilst the exhortation to develop the noble and generous quali? ties of the soul, the basis of personal and national integrity, are left to the formal dribblings of the Sunday school or the perfunctory routine of tbe pulpit, and; the inculcation of the great principles which underlie and sustain our liberties are heard only occasionally from some droning professor's chair, delivered with tbe air and manner in which he would discourse on the ancient fossils and Silu? rian what-you-call-ems. In other words, our progress is not a true progress ; we are expending our energies in physical, development to the neglect of the intel? lectual and moral; we are cultivating the vine for the production of wood ana leaves to the neglect of the fruit; we are building cities, railroads and ship canals, opening lands to-cultivation and amass? ing wealth, but we are building no .new bulwarks to. protect free government On tbe contrary we have cast some of the ancient ones down and trampled them in the mire, - and -others' we are forgetting and remanding to the musty cabinets of the.curious. Never /Stickle, for tho.con stitution, they saw now; politics don't pay the farmer; let us develop some? thing; let us get rich. Verily I say so too. Let us indeed get rich; not only in houses and lands,, in flocks and herds, io cities and towns, in ships and steam traversed highways and gold and silver, but also in the unspeakable riches Of the freedom wherewith our ancestors-made us free; in the knowledge of our- rights, personal and State, and above ??, rich in the courage and integrity to vindicate them; so rich in these virtues, in fact, that an attempt to organize a free-legisla? ture by the use of bayonets, and-to con? stitute a sergeant of the guard a judge of the election and qualification of the members thereof, shall blow all America into a volcanic flame, which, like the fearful looking for of judgment, shall consume the adversary?its author?in? stead of feasting him in the high places of Europe and America, and will give him tbe confinement of a dungeon, in? stead of the freedom of an ancient city. My word for it, my friends, these are the true riches of an American citizen; to struggle for these things is the lesson which should be taught our children next after they are able to lisp "Our Father which art in Heaven." The absence of these teachings - will result in the utter perishing, as it has alieady produced the grievous wounding, of liberty. And now to the destiny which I have announced that it was my opinion you. had to fulfill. The chief business of these Southern Atlantic States is, and will for generations continue to be, the cultivation of the soil aud cognate pur? suits. The tendency of these employ? ments is decidedly conservative. Looking at the history of the great Germanic families, it may be said, that whilst cities and municipalities have been foremost in asserting free institutions, rural and agricultural communities have ever been most steadfast in maintaining ! and conserving them. The enjoyment of corporate privileges early taught their I possessors m the towns the importance of establishing also the rights and liberties of the nation at large. But the spirit of gain and the love of change also wel? comed the approach of tyranny, and overcrowded populations gave birth, to riot, social disorders, aud tbe demagogue, the personation of all dangers to law and liberty. It is yet so. From the crowded alleys and dark by-ways of our great ! cities, abodes ef hunger and crime, comes ; forth the direst enemy with which our j institutions must contend. The evils prophesied by Lord Macauley have come upon us long before our vast Western plains have been filled up; and whilst there are still homes to be had almost for tbe trouble of squatting upon them and bread for the sowing of the seed, the war against property has begun on a I scale requiring armies to resist it, and communism?the incarnation of despot? ism and social chaos?is openly estab? lished in the land. Now, the sword may temporarily check but cannot utterly sub? vert this spirit. The sword is evil as an I instrument of government, as commun i ism is evil, and one evil cannot cure an > other. Moral remedies are alone perma? nent and creditable to our civilization. I This remedy is found in the ballot box, and iu avoiding the causes which pro? duce communism.. Jt is a fact of which we cannot be too proud, that whilst. riot I and labor outbreaks Were.convulsing so ' ciety and destroying millions of property among our Northern neighbors last sum [ mer, and . frightened Executives were i clamoring for the United States army, ' not a note of trouble was heard from the I Potomac to New Orleans. I could not but see the contrast and feel the blessed effects of rely! I ? upon a.conservative ag? ricultural peoj. s. " During the fiercest period of that significant com motion, the Governor of North Carolina was cooling himself on the hills of his native county of Buncombe, the Secretary of State was enjoying himself at the Warin Springs, and. the Treasurer was resting in the I shade of his apple trees . in Randolph County, and the machinery of each de? partment was efficiently worked by three LSOAJr JUVERTBINQ ?We are compelled to rwjulr? c&h payments for advertising ordered by ?

C. ! boys?two just from college and one un? dergraduate home for the vacation. The disease of social tronble was not there, because . the -predisposing causes were not there. Our land is not filled with money rings,- stock jobbers, and' huge monopolies and accumulation of capital to grind labor into dust arid drive the working man to desperation, where , he has to be slaughtered in the name of ' order. Whilst denouncing the spirit of lawleasness. therefore, it is also well to. ' denounce those by whom offenses come. Set your faces against these, too, my - friends, and let them find no. favor with ' you at the ballot box. Whilst it is kept pure and is controlled by conservative influences, we are safe. The stronghold \ of conservatism and of law is in the . homes of those who till the soil and live: upon the fields. "Firm as the everlast- ; inz hills,'? says the' proverb, and tbe in? habitant of these hills or plains acquires something of the stability of bis home? stead. In the verv nature of hi3 occupa- - tion, the man of the fields.is also a man of stability and peace. To him we- look for resistance.to new and untried things, - for the preservation of .old landmarks. When riot delnges the city in blood or wraps its palaces in flame,. when strikes stop the-wheels of the factories, paralyze the arm of law and invite crime, to come forth to his carnival, and artful dema gogues-stir the fires of discord for selfish , [?ends, then indeed do the- eyes of ? alt pa? triots turn toward the hills whence com eth our strength ; then indeed do we look % to tbe men of- the fields to come up full of the teachings of their fathers add fresh from the parity of their firesides'and'their com muni ngs with nature to overcome the promptings of evil and misguided men. . te restore the.strength of the law, ana maintain the. freedom aud justice of so? ciety.

But lately vyour slaves, and poorly, fitted.for the duties of citizenship, the problem of their future position is among the most difficult which -' we have to solve. In my opinion the proper solution. depends also upon the ag- - ricultural people of the South. It is for -. yon to determine whether they shall or shall not become active and efficient fac- . tors in the preservation of free govern- ~ ment and. the promotion of our material prosperity. Important factors of some sort they undoubtedlyare and will be ; if . left to the teachings) and influences of those whose opinions we regard as detri? mental to our ideas of government, they will become to us evil factors in any case. If brought within our own influence then they will become factors for good or evil as oar Opinions may prove right or wrong. . For one, I think we have too long- per? mitted aliens in feeling and interest, to control these black people at our doors. For one, I am willing for the sake of put? ting them, as a part of our own ?people,, under the control of our opinions, to do anything consistent with the preservation. of the purity of our blood - and of - those ?ocial distinctions which our Anglo-saxon prejudices in support of nature have es? tablished. I don't want 4,000,000. of uneducated half-civilized enemies, seated in the very bosom of our Southern homes, controlled by enemies still more hostile a thousand miles away. I do want these 4,000,000, however, to be our friends, to aid us to till our fields, - to think- as we think, to . feel that their interest is oar interest and oars is theirs, to sustain the. law in the maintenance of life, liberty and prosperi? ty, and by a natural alliance with, the land give strength to the conservative element of our society. Without sacri? ficing a particle of what we owe to our own race all this.can be done, by attach- . ing them to the soil, by aiding them to : procure good homes, by warning them continually against the corruption which lies in wait to entrap their suffrage, showing them how evil rulers .oppress both black and white, and in all ways manifesting a kindly interest in their welfare. Verily, if we are wise, we : make our political enemies repent that they made the black, men citizens. Such, my friends, are the duties which Sress upon the rural populations of these tates. To check and hold steady the rash tendencies of our. Democracy; to repress both the cause and effect of dis? orders growing out of overcrowding pop? ulation ; to adjust oar relations with the - black race aha make it a useful and con? tented element of our civilization. These things may be termed the political ethics of your noble profession, and whilst they are grander and higher than* the skill fullest exercise of your science, their con-' seientious performance will ennoble your toil and render the plow as great an-in? strument in the field of patriotic states? manship as it ever has been in . the'pro*' duction of body-preserving bread, an emblem of both political and physical - life.
