In coxrfiui:n;.M. tlio change* in our Industrial pur
tmils that arc likely i?> r? nuit from the radical chango
in our laborsyslent, w? have presented tboroasona
tor bcli? ling Unit one, at loaat, will be in the aban
donment of plantation culture. It lias scorned that
much of the labor hitherto employed in such pur
suit Would liml it.s way to others, or bo lost in in
dolonco or vagrancy; that n doflclonoy would result;
thul such as might still lio niailo available, would
be ?lii't cd lo work noltbcr by slavery or immediate
?mat; tint in im?'!? condltioa, it will not bo likely
to come voluntarily up to the bototo demands of
such a culture: nn?! I bat, to bo retained to useful
ness, therefore, and bo made nvailnhlu to tlu> fur
ther progress and prosperity of the State, it would
accin Important to provida for our colored popula
tion employment in the arts, and other forms of
agricultural pursuit lens severe in their exactions,
and move suited to their tastcB and capacities.
Upon this subject our remarks havo boon con
sistent with the supposition that plantation culturo
?b of vayl importance to the Stale, and that the
change, thoreforo, has nothing but its necessity
to Oommond it. But in it so important? Has
there, in fact, been a hotter state of society, and
more of matcriul development and well-being, than
there would have been with the sanio amount of
labor and cnteiprl.so oxpended upon other and
more varied matters? Wo have produced rico and
cotton to great perfection, and in amounts tran
acor.tling not only our own wants, but the wants
of the world. By competition with other coun
tries, wc have reduced the price of cotton to the
point at whieli it could not bo profitably produced
claowhere; and by competition with ourselves and
"other Southern States, have reduced it lower still
?to the point at which it was scarcely profitable
to ourselves. Wc could Btill realize more cash to
the hand from it than from any other pursuit, and
thus, therefore, it retained the monopoly of enter
prises, and kept all available labor in its hands;
but it ever has been, ami is yet, a question whether
with that cash to the hands wo could purchase th
name amount of comforts and improvements that
would have resulted from the direct applica
tion of our labor to the task of making
auch comforts and improvements for oursolves.
"With our abundant products wo chartered coni
.morcc aud based exchanges for thoWostern world;
bat in that commerce wo had little interest, and
those bills of exchango wo seldom drow?our one
.-porKuit exhausting our resources, and, like ocean
insects, urged by a singlo instinct, wc erected
leofs upon our shores without the capaoity to build
?pon them. "With abundant wealth, we were yet
in want of everything that wealth could purchase.
There waB nothing made here that could not bo
made elsewhore, with but the cost of transporta
tion. Under the influence of this system daily be
coming moro intonso, every collateral enterprise
had left us. Shoes, hats, clothes, implements,
nntensila, machinery, works of art and vertu, all
came from abroad. Even horse-shoes were sent
from abroad to be fitted to our horses; houses to
bo erected on our lots. Even teachers and preach
ers wcro completed elsewhere for then.- callings
h?re, und, as a necessary consequence, we our
selves complied with the condition. When at lei
Burc wo went cIsewhorQ to spend our monoy; when
in condition to do so, wo often went elsewhere to
live. With all our patriotism, wc could not volun
tarily incur tho trials of vegotating in the stcrilo
legion of but s. single product. This condition was
becoming Avorsc; wc were assuming more aud
more tho state and condition of n province. The
Continuance of that system, with cotton for twenty
years at twonty conta por pound, would havo re
duced the whole South to the condition of ono
broad plantation, without society, without culture,
without n resident population, without institutions,
Without independence, or the capacity or tho wish
to assert it; aud honcc, therefore, whatever were
the effects of plantation culturo at the South upon
tho fortunes of the world, they havo not been
favorable to our own.
. ?or in our experience, therefore, do we find oc
casion to lament that it is now to bo abandoned.
In fact, of tho inuuflicioncy of that system for the
^requisitions of a Stato, conclusive evidence is tobe
found iu our condition now. In any other State,
with diversified pursuits, there would havo been
periuancut property structures, buildings, arts
end enterprises; and swept by armies, these propcr
iics and enterprises woidd remain?the whole- com
munity, with moro or less of loss, wonld nriso
from the pressure, cacli to his several work, and
all move on, after a brief interval, as well, almost
as ever; but hero, with no enterprises collateral to
agriculture, but all dependent on it?with our every
interest suspended on a single line?the cutting of
that line precipitates us all to a common ruin.
With tho planter falls the factor, merchant, doctor,
lawyer, family and friends dependent on him.
None havo other moorings?thero are no anchors
to the windward?no accumulations in some other
form?no openings to other forms of activity; and
society is almost as much without industrial or
ganization, within tho planting region at least, as
if, nu emigrants to tho samo number, wo had just
landed on our shores.
Thovo is not, therefore, the reason in our oxpo
riencc, to lament tho abandonment of plantation
culture in this Stato. But will tho negro bo com
petent to'othor forms of agriculture? That is, of
course, questionable?it is, in fact, tho problem to
be solved. Ho has not been ablo, in his nativo
country, to develop a civilization of his own; nor
in tho West Indios to Bustain tho civilization prc
Bcntcd to him by others; hut ho has groat physical
endurance, a singularly tractable and amiable dis
position; and there is nothing but his inertia?his
deficiency of moral motivos to activity, to prevent
him from continuing a valuable agent in tho
operations of tho country.
It is quito possiblo, thoreforo, that ho may he
unfitted for employments requiring severe and
?toady labor, but may well ho fitted for those more
desultory and entertaining. Tho experiment of
farm culture, upon tho plan possible in tho sea
board districts, wo believe has nover yet boontried.
In Africa there is not tho capital, intelligence, or
opportunity in fact, for such experiments. In tho
West Indies, after emancipation, there was a per
feintent effort to continue culturo upon tho estab
lished system, until ho proprietors wero too brokon,
and tho nogrooa too much demoralized, to make con'
eistont efforts in another plan; but heiewo are
at tho starting point. Tho negro is fresh for tho
race. Ho has boen inspired somewhat, it is to bo
hoped, by the advice of bis friends to an honest
effort to exhibit his capaoity; he is as yet freo,
ta a groat extent, from tho vices which a stato of
freedom brings upon him. Ho has many o?
tho best qualities exhibited by the tenantries oi
Ir el and ami tho nations of Continental Europe.
Ho is not "ore ignorant or superstitious; ho is
quite as docilo and susceptible of control; bis
local attachments aro ob strong; his capacities for
labor greater; nor is his indisposition moro decid

or in what other way preserve ourselves from par

assurance of success ia tho presence and super
vision of the proprietor, who can scarcely be with

interest to promote the welfare; of the community,
and who at every occasion of their experience, will
ho ablo to give: to the infaut society tho precepts
? of a bettor judgment than ita own, and greater
! unity and force ia its municipal authority. With
this foaturo they may succeed, while communities
of negroes elsewhere may generally retrograde.
And it would seem, therefore, that in its chances
of success, and of the good to result from it, the
system ia worthy the earnest and honest efforts of
our people
We publish elsewhere an articlo from an able
and distinguished divine upon "Our Rotations to
the Colored Race." Wc were reluctant to opon the
door to a discussion upon tho relativo claims of
tho racos upon each other, from an apprehension
that it might not always be discussed in tho right
spirit, and that which bo eminently characterizes
this article. But it ?3 important to realize our
selves?important to imprcaa upon those really in
terested in the future well-being of tho negro
race?that it merits and receives the impress of
religious feeling, that we enter upon our relations
with tho highest sense of religious obligation, and
that if disaster come, it will not be iu conaequenco
of wanton acts, but iu spite of our most honest ef
forts to arrest it.

SPEECH OF OEM. T. M. IIARRI?3.
Richmond, Va- August 21.?On Saturday night
last Brig. Gen. T. M. Harris, successor to Major
General Charles Devons in tho command of the
United State s troops at Prederlokshurg, a native
Virginian, and a member of tho commission for'
tho trial of the assassins, delivered an address iu
this city before tho " Unconditional Union Associa
tion of" Virginia." The address was a carefully
elaborated one, and was listened to by a largo
audience of Virginians, who always turn out to
hear prominent State natives upon any theme.
Sensible views characterized the address through
out, and it contained, in some measure, an earnest
foreshadowing of what these Virginians have got
to do as a whole before they shall again have lull
sway.

orai wealth of the Stale has not been fully devel

Otir Relation'? to the Coloro?! U.tcr.
Messrs. Ed ?tors: ? \\v h*v<> read with much at
Uatlor. and no little satisfaction the editorial in
your issue of tho 17th last., headed, "Our ttehv
tioi:s to tho Colored Ilaco." 1'our ?vorda have a
ring of the true metal :?>o:it them?they are boldly
uttered, and uttorcd, too,, in lb? li.s'ht spirit.
Tbe relations which du and shall exi.it between
the two races deserve serious conaidesation, but,
are generally alighted and OTorlooked by both par
ties?by the white man, from an indifference as to
what may now become of the negro, whom he re
gards as a portion of his property, of which bo has
boon unjustly deprived ; by tho negro, who shuns
all intcrcourao with tho white man, having loarnt
to view him in the light of a tyrant and oppres
sor.
These feelings are unquestionably natural ones.
The sense ef wrong and oppression exists alike in
every breast, and the desire to resent injury is
also univorsal; but of what value aro tho toaoh
iiiga of Christianity and civilisation?of what avail
the gifts of judgment and discretion which Clod
has given as?if we arc to arrogate to ourselves
the adjustment of every difficulty, the avenging of
pvcry injury, and, confounding tho innocent with
the guilty, deal angry blows alike on deserving and
undeserviug heads ? To the untutored negro the
white face, is tho representative of the tyranny?
fancied it may be?which has so long deprived him
of liberty, and thus the unoffending stranger is
not unfrcqucntly assailed by him with a scowl,
perhaps with insolence. But wc, whose minds arc
unkammeled by ignorance and enlightened by ed
ucation, should not confound tho innocent with
the guilty, r.or harbor malicious feelings against a
race our inferiors in many respects. Tho negro
assumes that he has been wronged by the loas of
liberty from his birth, and that the white roan of
the South is responsible for this wrong?hcfiySfoiis
vindicti ver.ess. We feel that we have been wronged
by the loss of our property; but can we charge this
injury upon the negro ? The black man has had
nothing to do with it. During the entire war, whon
the Federal forces were battling here at our very
gates, did any of our servants rise up in arms
against us and demand their freedom ? No! They
behaved aa they should have done?as true wis
dom woidd have directed. They had learned "to
labor and to wait," aud it was not until our armies
were overpowered and the country overrun, that
they accopted what was freely tendered them by
the United States Oovornment.
They, then, have not been to blame. The injury
lies at the doors of the United States Government;
but before we mclo out the penalty due to this
wrong, let ub first impartially strike the balance
between our own disloyalty and this its conso
queueo, not forgetting to consider the formidablc
ncss of our adversary.
You will hoar many inveighing against the un
faithfulness of the negroes, because they leave
then formor owners. Ah ! wc forget many things
when wc so speak ? I do not attempt to defend
the course pursued by many of our former slaves.
Too many of them have acted in a manner which
can and must be condemned?which has given the
he to all thoir previous life?which has cast a slur
upon the Christian name, and created a general
distrust in the faith and integrity of the race. For
such as these wo havo not a word; bu* those who
have preserved their integrity unspotted, and havo
simply chosen other employers or other occupa
tions, how can they be blamed? When wo blame
them, we do not consider, first, that faithfulness
is not involved. While they were our slaves, they
were obliged to remain with us; now they arc free,
and can do as they please.
Secondly, our manner toward them while slaves
may not have been such as to win their aff'-ctinns;
though our care for them could not but command
their respect.
Thirdly, we forget that excitement and tho sen
timent of their fellows is all powerful with the
negro?powerful enough to smother almost all
feelings of attachment to their owners.
Fourthly, we do not realize that the negro has
now himself and family to support, and that he
must ?to what in his oren judgment is most condu
cive to that step. And, lastly, wc make no allow
ance for tho frame of mind? species of intoxica
tion?that must prevail in a race thus suddenly
launched from slavery into freedom, and placed on
an equality with their former masters.
Now, it becomes us to consider those things, aud
as the superior race, upon whom tho colorod man,
being without property of any kind, must depend
for employment and consoiprcnt sustenance, calling
' to our aid the suggestions of reason and true wis
dom?, to bear with tho evils of tho present, and,
looking beyond them into the future, so to legis
late that these two races, living together with in
terests coexistent and inseparable, shall be mutu
ally benefitted. Time and the re-establishment of
civil government will do much to allay the ferment
now existing. The more intelligent class of colored
men, throughout the country, realize that nothing
can be gained by hostility toward thOBO who must
continue to hold tho reins of government in the
State, and give direction to all agricultural and
mercantile transactions. The influenco of this
class will extend to tho rest; and though it may not
be sufficiently powerful to repress all turbulence
and lawlessness, yet it will bo an clement of good
in the commonwealth, which it would bo unwise
m us either to despise or reject.
It is through ?hia class that wo must oxpect to
reach and rcg>.._to tho mass of tho colored popu
lation; because these alone can approciato tho
truth and wisdom of the law wldch requires every
man to earn l?a bread by tho sweat of hia brow,
each in his particular sphere.
Wc would call upon every one, thoreforo, white
or black, rich or poor, lawyer or artizan, priest or
hold-hand?no matter what may bo his condition
in life, or what the mode by which ho cams hie
broad?to lay asido all these useless and suicidal
feelings of antagonism, of race, which only our
mutual enemies would- havo ns cherish, and ac
cepting tlie now order of things as ono of God's
appointing, with cheerfulness and alacrity, devote
himself to tho duties of his calling, and by honest
toll seek to win an honest livelihood.
