posed The adoption Of that system in the
South to which the growing preponde-
rance Of the North was so obviously due.
They advocated populareducation. They
recommended an extension of railroad Or
ganization, the means Of cheap and rapid
transportation so much needed in a coun
try whose navigable streams were shall
low, uncertain and devious. They were
satisfied that this system would give the
means Of increased intercourse with the
Northern States and with the world.
They knew that the superior advantages
of their climate, soil, staples, provisions,
and their consumption Of manufactures
would tempt the Northern manufacturer
with his capital and operat yes, and the
Northern farmer with his industry and
skill, to bring to the Southern States all
the materials for organizing the great in
terests upon which national economy and
independence 50 greatly depends; and
they knew that in the intimate know
ledge which such immigrants would ac-
quira-iu the natural attachment to the
country Of their adoption they would
mediate between the extremists of both
sections and dsabuse their minds of pre-
lulice and error. Such was the policy
Of peace and progreso which organized
the NOV ment Of which the Memphis
Convention has been the third demons
tration-those OF New Orleans and Balti-
more having preceded it.
We agre perfectly with the liberal
views taken by the New York Times,
Her0H and other pa pers in regard to
the effect Of the Memphis movement
pom the cities of the North. Every in
crease of Southern production, every de-
velopment of Southern trade, is but an
additional impulse to the demand for
Northern capital, and additional encou-
ragement to Northern enterprise. True,
there will be no longer a Northern mo-
nopoly; but the increased development
of the whole Southern interior will sus
tain the value Of Northern property. The
direct increase Of Northern numbers will
not be materially diminished, but its re-
lative preponderance will be checked by
the American and European counter i'm.
migration, whick will flow into the pro-
ductive, but hitherto inaccessible, inte-
terror of the South. .' 30 lT'l
In a word, the South will become po-
puIous, prosperous, powerful. She will
cherish the Union because she will feel
no inequality in its burdens. She will
harmonic with the North because she
will not fear the North, and will have no
feeling Of jnttriority.
On the other hand, the North will
have an immense AMI extending interest
in the pros sperity of the Southern States.
She will furnish the capital for railroads
and steam lines; she will build up the
towns of the South, open her mines, and
found her factories. There will be airiend-
ship between the sections which can
only exist between equals, who respect
and who are interested in the prosperity
Of each other. GHa
In the meantime, the physical and
commercial power OF the Southern States
will be such as este rende them indie
Iof all fanaticaI movements. All men
will see that II this Union be divided by
