and Agricultural Change
OF Opinion.


OF Opinion.
II is worthy Of remark that system which has
ever been advocated by the Wing party as essential
to the prosperity of our whole country, and which
has hitherto found its strongest opposition in the
South, and especially among the Locofoco portion
Of that community, is beginning to find able de-
tenders among the leading men of both parties in
that section OF country, now that remedy Is
sought for the want of prosperity in region SO
highly favored by nature. In proof of this, we cite
an extract from the late inaugural address OF Gov
crnor Collier, of Alabama, in which the necessity Of
manufactures to go hand in hand with agriculture
is clearly inculcated 1t is only lately, we believe,
that our southern brethren of Governor Golfers
political persuasion have been willing TO admit
such policy to be good one; and since the sys-
tenn is admitted Us proper for single State, il
is not unreasonable TO expect that ere long we may
find them advocating the same system for the coun-
try at large. Magma est peitas ct preraiebit. The
following is the passage TO which we refer;
''The inquiry is ever addressing itself to the in
quisitive mind, why is it that Alabama, with her
delightful climate her heahfulness her fertile soil
of varied and almost universal adaptation, her
abundant and unsurpassed water power, her hills
and wales for grazing and browsing, her untold
acres OF coal iron marble and other minerals does
not furnish more striking evidences of prosperity
and wealth? The question is easily answered. She
does not avail herself of her vast resources-too
large portion of her population are unemployed
