We find no cause for dependency in
the late defeat of the Democratic party
We see in it rather wide provision, a
tendency to greater good, and an incen-
tive to more prompt and vigorous action.
Such defeat was needed to arouse the
dormant, excite the lukewarm, rebukO
the unfaithful, and establish more firmly
in the hearts OfthO people love for Dem.
ocratic institutions, and 4 desire to do
much TO perpetuatO them. We see in
the events that are transpiring, sure evil
dence, to our mind, that the triumph Of
error will be temporary. Rejoicing and
fermentation have passed before uS in
quick succession. The people are begin.
ming to ask themselves the why's and the
wherefores. Why was the country SO az

struggling for power! And what have We
gained by its victoryi Were we not pro

The Product Of g.nbOr I. the only Real
Wealth.

Agriculture is the foundation of wealth.
The sea renders her tribute but the
earth presents TO skill and industry richer
and infinitely varied contributions. Mon
cy is not wealth. 1t is only the repre-
sentative of wealth. Money is coveted
because it cen command labor; but Of
what use would ii be, if labor would no,
be commanded. What would it avail to
possess all the riches Of Potosi, if thereby
we could not acquire the products of agri-
culture What are manufacturers con-
cerned in but these products What
freights the barks of commerce in their
liquid flight, threading every channel and
whitening every port, but the products OF
agriculture Whence does the govern
ment derive its revenues but from the
fruits Of agriculture What constitutes
the wealth of the country but her cotton,
hemp, sugar, rice, tobacco, wool, wheat,
beat, and pork ! Agriculture only can be
considered the cre:tor Of wealth. The
merchant, the manufacturer, the sailor,
die various artisans and tradesmen perform
their part in making the products of agri-
culture more valuable; in Transporting
them so that the advantages of climate are
equalzed, and in putting them in con-
dition for use but agriculture alone pro-
duces. Like the leader of Israel, she
strikes the rock, the waters flow, and a
furnishing people are satisfied. She sup
plies, she feeds, she quickens all. Agri-
culture is the commanding interest of the
country, with which no single interest of
secular nature combined, can be brought
into complementary Coleman.
