cially give warm greeting to'every enterprise
indicative Of awakened zeal in the Southern
Church. Every Missionary or Sunday school
association, every new book, the product Of
Southern mind and heart interests u.s. Every
ably conducted and well sustained weekly,
monthly and quarterly, encourages our hope
of bright lature for the South. And per.
init me to say in this connexion that look
forward with the most cheering confidence to
a bright, gloriOus-becnuse useful-career
to the forthcoming SUNDAY School JOURNAL,
to be issned from your Office, under the care
Of our Church. 1t will have a glorious field
in which to operate. Tposeed will be good, the
culture good, aud with the descending dews
Of Gods blessing il cannot fail to do gteit
deal Of gsod. let The Church, South, pursue
her onward course and God will make her a
blessing and praise in the earth. I'D
But if We have been dependent on the
North in the foregoing respects, has our con-
ditinn been less humliating in reference to
matters Of different sort2 Were we not in
the habit of sending North for our flour? dwell
ling as we do, in country where great abun-
dance of wheat can be raised, with the first
water power Tor mills? Living in a country
abounding in iron ore and wood or coal, as we
might prefer, the North furnished us with
most OF our tools and castings. Dwelling in
a country producing wool to any extent, the
North furnished us with our summer and win
ter clothing. In country where there is nc
lack Of hides, or Of any facility for tanning
leather, and with market at the door, W,
have permitted the East to supply US will
shoes; and in almost every thing even dOwI
to brooms and axe helves W. have lormeTl,
been wont to look to yankee land for supplies
can well recollect the time not twenty year
ago, when any proposition for the application o
Southern enterprise to the important scheme
| for the improvement Of the country, was me
BY the craven declaration from Southern lips
"Oh the South can do neither; the Yankee
can do these things" But thank heaven thing
have changed, and changing with astonishing
rapidity. The fanaticism Of Northern men
fast drawing US to ask why should we an.
longer be tributary to men who faIten on on
trade and then insult us. We have ampl
materials at home to furnish almost everything
we needI let us apply ourselves to the de
velopment and improvement Of our abundan
resources OF wealth and prosperity an
the stern resolve Of the Southern people to i'm
prove these resources cannot be mistaken =
1--WE intend 10 make our own bread and mea
and clothesf already we compete successful
with Northern Factories in all the coarse Cot
ton fabrics. Our machines Of every descrT
ton will be manufactured at the South. Ou
Railroads are traversing our country in all di
reclions, 6lipg up valleys, piercing noun
tain barriers, and bringing into conneetid
widely separated points. Prosperous village
and cities are growing up all along these line
OF communication. Agriculture is improVin
and we can secure all the necessaries, and mos
of the luxuries Of life. Within Ouselves "
have the finest watering places and magnf
cent mountain scenery for those who trav'
for pleasure, and why may not our SoutheT
seaports import for US all we want from Fo
eign shores? More hereafter.
