men in that region have for years been
striving to impress on their fellow-citi
zens the necessity and policy of mannfac
turing as well as producing, of bringing
the loom into the neighborhood of the
plough The success which has attended
the establishment of factories thus far in
Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, is
beginning to speak a language of facts
that cannot be resisted or gainsayed.-
Even nullifier, when he becomes cor.
vinced that, by an investment Of a porticn
of his capital in manufacturing, he can
make more money than by employing all
that cap pital in agriculture, will be willing
to act as sensible men in other sections of
the country act. When they begin to
handle the profits Of manufact cturing en-
terprse, they will experience sort Of ne
cromancy on their minds and they will
see the beauty of such logic as the Wings
have for twenty years been using III vain
against the spirit of notification. Free
trade will be stripped of all those beau
ties which its advocates now fancy to be
associated with it, and they will think
that the protective policy and judicious
system of internal Improvements afford
the true means of increasing the common
prosperity, and of securing the permanent
welfare and renown of the nation.
While sciolists and ninnies Of various
kinds are prating of the greater happiness
and virtue that a people exclusively
agricultural enjoy, facts are every day
laughing all such absurdites to scorn.

moral and social condition of the people
of South Carolina as superior to that Of
any other people, and accounted for it by
their exclusive devotion to agricultural
pursuits. They said they had no. ex-
tenslve commerce to introduce foreign
vices into their midst, no great marts Of
trade to make the atmosphere Of the State
impure. and no factories to degrade
morals and increase pauperism. 1t is true
that, at the same time, while some talked
in this strain, others gave vent to jere-
miads over the fallen prosperity of the
South, and accused the "accursed tariff
of the ruin which was every where dis
coverable. They talked of blighted fields
and of the deserted seats of former hos
pitaity, until the whole country became
fearful Between the wide-a part courses
of these two classes of men there was a
safe middle ground on which but few
were seer to enter. The success of the
manufactures thus far established has
already had the effect of bringing thou
sands of the more honest and sensible
people on to this safe ground, aud they
can now see that by diversifying their
labors they can stop the progress of blight,
re-ilumine the extinguished lights OF
hospitality, give profitable employment
to half-starved idlers, promote the cause
of education, morality and religion, and
turn back that black and baleful tide Of
desoIation which seemed to threaten the
whole State. We have had eloquence
and pathos enough, and it is now time
for those southern States which wish to
prosper, to be less eloquent and pathetic,
and go to work aud build mp workshops
and factories, and thus to bring the farmer
and the manufacturer into proximity
We hail with great pleasure every evil
dence OF the existence of that spirit Of
enterprise, whose manifestations are seen
at Graniteville and at other points, and
on which alone the people of the South
can with safety permanently rely.
