The New-Y ork Courier and Enquirer lakes favor abIo notice of the essays occasionally published in hs paper in favor of home production in the South. The subject is one of pro(1nnd interest The indus try of the South To be productive must be directed 10 various channels. We must faite and make ammg ourselves as we can do to advantage, m my articles far which have bean accustomed tn he dependant dstnt of supply, rely ing on the proceeds of the cotton crop for the of pay ment. These sentiments are growing nro favor al over the South anl there good signs of general movement in favor of improved modes ol culture and new applications of capital and labor. In ;hls We shall e glad 10 zee the ''assmaton in the polio. of the North and the Soulb,' of which the Courier and Enquirer speaks, giving the essays in this paper as grat, ing evidence nf t progress. The policy which the North has pursued is hat of adapting ls indus try To the must profitable uses, and transferring il with taciliiy from pursuit to another, according to lie degree of profit obtained. Theer then, is an niuile diversity of eppo.ments, minute suhdi. vision of labor, aoi prompt instnct m the applica
 lion of means, which, if they could be ully transfer red o the South would make hs the richest country | in he woriI The recent active movements among the planting interests, the gathering, of snhalon among lbeui, the essays and ether writings with winch the press teens, and the gencr al spit of enquiry that exists these subjects, indeed satisfactory indications that there is desire 10 emulate Northern policy. m that wherein consists its real predorninance. Among these sgns too ''de cded fee-irade' men, as we are. we are as much graufed as the Courier and Enquirer can be with the spread of manufacturing industry among us, wherever il is the spontaneous growth of natural wanl and natural supply.
 But if tine Courier thinks in these signs in the South. he perceives an increased disposition 10 as simulate the Southern to the Northern policy in the poIillca aspects of lhe question of "proection, he decel,es himself. IL may be, as he argue, thai in some places interests may grow up, identical with those at the Norh-that is, having persona or corporate interest in maintaining the system of high duties. Possibly few malu ufacturing estab-
 shments may collect d body of capitalists together, and link of connexion may be thus created with te Northern establishments; but OUT region of country must remain agricultural and there can be no hope
 for the tariff in huildmg up such controlling monied class as dictates the politics of the eastern and mid. dIe States. At east such result is so far beyond | could be made dangerous 10 the cause of genera
 freedom, believe the whole tariff system in il. tendencies to be inevitably, the whole present s,s tenn of compulsory regulation of labor and partia taxation, will be discarded in the United States.
 We merely put in this caveat in passing, lest i might be inferred, the Courier seems iner thu advocates aRong of improved husbandry am more val jed enployments, including manufacturing in dusry in the South, allow themselves be supposet 10 yield oi of their views oi the justice econ omy of the tariff system. On the other hand, the
 consider more rigorous attention tO Ihe develope ment Of all their energies and means 10 be force upon them b, the mi exaclions of tie ystem, men ~ho gel less than their rights in the distribution : of wealth. must work the harder 10 maintain the m
 selves
 If there were soundness in the tariff argument s the north should be as hostile to manufacturing es tabshments in the South, as those of Eng land arr said 10 be to the manuiactoiies Of New Englan, an
 the South, the exporting region, ought be advise, to insist upon some plan oi prutection--a iarit agaIn,t Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 10 protec North Carolina and South Carolina. But thai hrancl of the subject is extensive to be entered into d the end oi d newspaper paragraph.
