The yearly^increase of population and wealth in the Northern States accord E ingly far exceeded that in the Southern States; and while at the first census the opulation of the South represented one _alf of the total population Of the coun? try, in 1860 it was loss than one-third. The population of the great State of Virginia, in the early days of the repub? lic, almost equaled that of any two Northern States, while in 1860 she ranked fifth on tho census list, and Bho averaged only twenty-six persons to tho square mile; whereas Massachusetts ave? raged 157. Oar material progress, then, from year to year, was not what it should have been, and in that respect the result was a continuous loss of power and in? fluence upon the purt of the South. This fact is indisputable, whatever tho causes may have been, and it is useless now to inquire whether it was the result of false statesmanship and an unfortunate pre? judice against commerce and manufac? tures, or the effect of our peouliar insti? tutions. The causes, however, no longer exist, and our. present condition and opportunities are such as should insure us, if true to ourselves and to the lessons of the past, our full share of prosperity. The losses, hardships and sufferings that have befallen our people are well calcu? lated to make thorn ? appreciate, now the importance of,'developing.;all our' re? sources, -and will,, no doubt- educate them not only to realize tho necessity of labordn all Us forms as the means Of ma? terial success, but also to honor it as an essential condition of social progress. There oould be no better schooling for our people in this respect than their recent experiences, and they already understand in all its force the true meaning, as well aB the philosophy of tho Divine decree: "By the sweat of thy brow thou sbalt earn thy bread." It is an interesting fact in this connection, said to be estab? lished by statistics, that the health of colonistwin' hot climates is in direct pro? portion to their habits of industry. Those colonists', ? for example, /who labor habitually, secure health, as nature's re? ward for their work, and leave a hardy progeny behind them to inhabit and possess the bind; while those who are inert, or whose habits of life are seden? tary; are more subject to disease and transmit to their descendants enfeebled constitutions, as nature's curse for the violation of her laws. "Cheered with the viow, man went to till the grotind - From whence 'he rose; sentenced, in? deed, to toil As to a punishment; yet (e'en in wrath So merciful is Heaven) this toil became Tho solace of his woes, the sweet employ Of many a livelong hour, and the surest guard Against disease and death." The ordeal, it* is true, to which our people have boon subjected since tho - close of the war has been a trying one. The sorrows and. horrors of war wore ex? ceeded by the evils of reconstruction, (which, under tho humiliating tyranny of corrupt officials, surpassed anything that was. over before inflicted upon a people of the same culture and civiliza? tion,) and there is nothing we have to deplore more bitterly than the effect upon those who wcro unable from age to accommodate themselves to the new ttiroumstanccs, or to change, with impu? nity, their habits. The young can change their mode of life, as may be ne? cessary, and can meet and outlivo losses and troubles, but this is rarely possible with those advanced in years. How many of our most rcspootcd and honored have succumbed to untold trials, losses and humiliations, who would otherwise have lived to a good old age! This is, indeed, one of the saddest features of the sad picturo, and should be included with those memories of the past that claim our deepest sympathy. In the further consideration of our subject, it may be necessary to meet the objection, that the recent tendency to centralization will end in imperialism, or [permanent democratic absolutism; and that, . accordingly, the, future of our republican government is uncertain. There is, however, no just cause for ap? prehension. ' Tho American people will neither be defrauded of thoir inheritance of liberty nor forcibly deprived of it They are too intelligent to be deludod, and too brave to be overawed. Tho pas? sions and prejudices of the hour may temporarily cloud tho truth, but the sun chine of returning reason will soon dissi pato the mists, and public opinion will be again heard on the side of constitutional government. Tho republic has been tormed "an experiment," but it has now weathered the political storms of almost a century, and tho people are not only fully imbued with the spirit of freedom, and deeply attached to their institutions, but, what is equally important, they have becomo habituated to self-govern? ment The idea of any coup d'etat being successful, therefore, in this country, with a people accustomed to liberty, is, of course, preposterous; for, if Ctesarism had been posBiblo with us, it was only so through tho votes of tho people them? selves, who, if untrue to their Anglo Saxon instincts, might have been tempted into the support of their successful sol? dier, from his popularity as the so-called "Saviour of the Republic." This dan? ger, however, if it ever existed, as so many thought, is certainly past; for the people have spoken hi words that cannot be misconstrued on the "third term" question. Calhonn, one of the wisest as well as purest of statesmen, regarded oivil war as the soveresttest to which our republican form of government could be subjected. His Apprehension was, that the leader of the victorious section would become the despot of both sections. As one institutions have now survived this ordeal, under the most trying circum atanoes, we should have greater confi-1 donee ip their stability. The war preju? dices are at last buried, the bloody chasm pearod from our political sky. " tf The reconstruction , measures, it is true, wero^not only oppressive and tyrannical?conceived in hate and born in iniquity--but they resulted from a cross and unscrupulous abuse of power by a radical faction, whose legislation was a disgrace to American self-govern? ment, and ill comports with the liberal and advanced views that should have characterized the American people, claiming, as they do, to teach and lead tho world in the art of free government. We should not, however, hold the people responsible. Thoy were misled by cor? rupt party leaders, who relied upon tho war prejudices to prolong their term of power. It is not surprising, then, under the circumstances, that the voice of rea? son was temporarily hushed, and that it should have required almost ten years for Northern voters to understand tho facts as they existed at the South, and to roalize the enormitios and wrongs that had been practiced upon our people tinder the Reconstruction Acts of Con? gress. The truth was, however, (thanks to the independent press,) at last under stood at the North, and we have the best evidence in the vote which was polled at 1 the olections last fall, that the masses are really "true at heart," That vote should restore confidence in the American peo? ple, if the excesses of the preceding de? cade had destroyed it. It is further true, that the Government has become consolidated; yet it is still essentially decentralized?certainly so as compared with French or continental centralism. With"the growth and deve? lopment of the country, there > was ne? cessarily the usual change from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous, from the simple to the complex, from the weak and purely Federal republic of the past, to the strong and powerful nation of to-day; but this was only in accord? ance icitli the law. of . progress itself, and arose from the necessity of the case, in tho growth of the "social organism." The country has passed from the condition of a small confede racy of States, representing a few mil? lion of people, to that of a groat nation. It has beoomo ono of the first powers of the world, and, at the present rate of in? crease, her population will exceed, be? fore the close of the century, 100,000,000. We cannot have the pure Federalism of Jefferson, but this should cause no appre? hension, if the present limits of national authority be not exceeded. A strong go? vernment does not necessarily preclude local self-government; for there is no real incompatibility between tho two. While we cannot therefore, expect again the extremes of "States' rights," we may, nevertheless, enjoy all the blessings of local control over local interests; and it is probable that tho present revulsion against the centralizing po? licy of the Republican party will re? sult in the recognition of all constitu? tional restrictions, and oheck any tend? ency to further consolidation. Upon tho whole, there is much that is promising in tho political outlook for the cause of froe government, and it probably stands to-day upon a surer basis than ever be? fore in the history of the world; and I would add, in the language of the im? mortal bard, "Doubt not but success Will fashion the event in hotter shape Than I can lay it down in likelihood." But furthermore: as in the physical world, every change in the natural envi? ronment is followed, we are told, by cor? responding changes in the fauna and floral; so, in tho moral world, gradual changes in the social environment are followed by corresponding changes in the social organism. While, therefore, development and growth, in tho ad? vance of civilization, frequently produce changes that would be dangerous, if if society remained otherwise the same; yet these very changes become sources of progress and improvement, when, in analogy to what is observed in natural history, corresponding changes occur in the very fabric of society, adapting it to neic circumstances. The operation of this law can be discorncd in the history of free government in this country. 'While, as we nave seen, by the force of circumstances, our simple Federal Republic has become a strong nation, and as compared with the States, necessarily clothed with con? trolling powers?reuen, indeed, as would have been regarded by our earlier states? men as fatal and destructive?yet, at tho same time, corrective and harmonizing agencies have been developed, which supply adequate 'counteracting influ? ences; and I hesitate not to affirm that the equilibrium will be preserved, and the i resultant be real progress. The conclusion of this admirable ad? dress will bo furnished to-morrow.
