Why is it, that the people who surround
the Chesapeake have not bulk up their com
mercial interests? The or me IS due TO the
politician-the ldSsio .NqjeStaiiS of this coun-
try; and when he gets up in the halls of Con-
gress and says that the South is trodden un-
der foot and trampled upon by the North.
you can tell him that it is his own fault and
the fault of those who have, in effect prohbi-
ted the Improvement Of the country. Those
men never use the word ''commerce;n thev
know nothing cf railroads, they Believe that
the whole system Of internal improvement
is delusion, and that if they make work
OF internal Improvement towards the West,
it will forthwith bring the productions Of the
vast West in competition with their own
and destroy the value Of productions in the
neigborhood Of Norfolk and probably i'm
peril The oyster itself. (Laughfcr.) It's
he politicians who have done this mischief.
and the way 10 correct the evil is to procure
Tor the Southern States that variety Of occu-
patton whice their own native resources
give them, and which being e;Sen TO and
/ improved by them, their own population
would remain; and, better still, foreign
| population woN!d come amongst thcni.--
When the gentleman who preceded me re-
ferred TO the interesting paper that lie did,
it gave me IN excuse and Justification for
advcrting TO one thing which regard Of in
finite Importance TO the South. | say that
the political power is in the ratio of popula-
ton, and in referring to the means by which
/ population is TO be attracted and retained.
looked to the immediate regeneration OF the
South. | do not want 10 wait until all the
contemplated works otnternal Improvement
shal! be completed, the country enriched.
and the second and third generation shall
have come upon the scene action and Civ
en us an increase Of power. | would like
very much to wait till that period, but do
not want to do so. We want men and wo-
men to come to the South. The South
wants men who can carry the musket-
trust that may never be necessary and may
never be rcsortcd to. except in defence OF
our common country. And the means to
get men and women is to offer inducements
to immigration-io encourage Immigration.
That valuable document 70 which lave
already retcrred-that Book Of Number" "
contains most important and most c,ln-
prehensive chapter upon the subject Of i'm
migration, which commG.d to the attcn-
ton of all gentlemen who are interested in
public affairs. BY referring 10 it, they will
find that very large portion of the politi-
cal power Of the North has arisen from the
aggregation Of foreign numbers.
