MEDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF
THE SOUTH.

The Baltimore American has the following e&-
cellent remarks relative TO The vindicadon OF ne
rights OF the South
The best mode that VIE have seen suggested yet
for yindicatilg SDuthern rights and protecting
Southern Interests is set forth in several udcibls
journals Of the South, and is sometimes hinted al
BY Southern Representatives in Congress. The
Richmond journals are fully awake 10 the matter;
are the best journals Of Georgia, are those ot
New Orleans behind hand The mode we .lefef TO
looks Ia no other force than The force of Industry
enterprise and the genius of labor We go in
most heartily say the New Orleans Bulletin, for
the development of Southern resources, and have
long been preaching against The fuinous policy,
which has been so strenuonslE enforced BY the anki
tariff and non-proeetion parfN of the South, which,
unfortunately have had The control in this respect
Let the Soulh then throw off ias eihargY and arouse
herselft 10 exeFions and longer remain in slayisk
dependence upon others for nearly all the luxuTes
and even for the larger portion of the accessories Of
life. Lether establish manu- factories of all kinds
increase her commerce, construct railroads, erect
and endow colleges, and develope generally her
immense resources which have SO long been PER
mited 10 lie dormant. Thisfs The true and only
mode 10 fight fhe North ahl not BY clustering
speeches and idle threats and declarations osecfde
anfdissolve. The steam engine, the shuttle. The
loom the anvil. andthe work shop are the only
weapons which The South should employ, and they
can be used with mere effecEand with greater re-
suits than either cannon or tAyonets"
This is 10 the purpose lhis indicates the true
basis OF Independence and points out The sources Of
sure prosperity
