rule england or france yet the american institutions are to human nature and by that fact are rendered more easy complicated as they are in politics when the institutions are established men often think there is no room for and that alone are needed and choose accordingly but there are ideas well known not yet organized into institutions that of free trade of peace of universal freedom universal education universal comfort in a word the idea of human brotherhood these wait to be constructed into a state without injustice without war without slavery ignorance or want it is hardly true that is dry of truths unseen as yet there are truths enough waiting to be discovered all the space us and god is full of ideas waiting for some to disclose new worlds men are always saying there is no new thing under the sun but when the comes they see their mistake now it is quite where we are to place the distinguished person of whom i speak mr was not a not an he added no truth to mankind not known before and even well known he made no known truth a fact he was an of political institutions taking the whole land into consideration comparing him with his measuring him by his apparent works at first sight he does not seem very highly eminent in tliis class of political nay some would set him down not as an so much as a political critic here there is danger of doing him by a h iii john june ct so obvious that t is seldom seen mr was a with northern habits methods and opinions by the north i mean the free states now the chief of the north is to get empire over nature all to that young men of talents become merchants merchant merchant the object directly aimed at is wealth not wealth by plunder but by productive work now to get dominion over nature there must be education universal education otherwise there is not enough intelligent industry which alone that dominion wide spread intelligence property will be widely distributed and of course and civil power will get distributed all is without religion i deny not that these peculiarities of the north come also from other sources but they all are necessary to the chief object thereof � dominion over the material world the north nature by thought and holds her powers in as results of this see the increase in wealth which is od by northern rail roads ships mills and shops in the schools churches which arise see the skill developed in this struggle with nature the great which come of that the movements of commerce the efforts � and successful too � for the promotion of education of religion all is and becomes more so continually each institutions more liberal than those of the parent state and as their business become merchants and the like they are by exception by accident from the necessity of the case few northern men are by profession they commonly think it better to be a or a than a place by money not power northern are bred as farmers merchants political is an accident not an end in the south the aim is to get dominion over men so the whole working population must be in � in slavery while the north makes brute nature half intelligent the south makes human nature half brutal the man becoming a thing talent to politics not trade young men of ability go to the army navy to the public offices to posts � in a word to politics they learn to manage men to do this they not only learn what men think but why they think it the young man of the north seeks a fortune of tlie south a reputation and political power the of the south makes politics the study and work of his whole life all else is accidental and subordinate he begins low but ends high he with men has bland and agreeable manners is frank honorable manly and knows how to persuade see the different results of causes so unlike the north the commercial rs of the land the ships mills farms and shops the spiritual affairs literature science morals education religion � writes and but the south the political and has free trade or war or peace just as she will of the eight who were elected in fifty years only three were northern men each of them has retired from office at the end of a single term in possession of a fortune but with little political influence each of the five southern has been twice elected only one of them was rich there is no accident in all this the state of island has men that can administer the or the that can into a cotton factory yes that can get dominion over the ocean and the land but the state of south has men that can manage the can rule the north and south and make the nation do their bidding so the south in politics but grows poor and the north fails in politics but in commerce and the arts there the chief men turn to politics here to trade it is so in time of peace but in the day of trouble of storms of revolution like the old one men of tall heads will come up from the ships and the shops the farms and the of the north bom and the aristocracy of gk d and sit down in the nation s to control the state the north made tiie revolution furnished the men the money the ideas and the occasion for putting them into form at the making of the constitution the south out talked the north put in such as it saw fitting making the best bargain it could the ideas of the revolution and getting the north not only to consent to slavery
