you pronounce extremely ridiculous The
South has hitherto looked with indifference
upon Commercial and Manufacturing pur-
suits, and when her statesmen seek to change
her views, to enlighten and arouse her to the
Importance ofthese great pursuits, the organ
of manufacturing community, whose craft is
in danger, pronounces their efforts ridiculous.
Nothing that the South can do suits these
gentlemen. If she proclaims her principles
in regard to the rights of the States, they are
denounced as distractions. If she announ-
ces her determination to defend them to all
extremities, she is laughed at as braggart.
If she forms the wise and sensible resolution
of manufacturing for herself, supplying her
own wants from her own inexhaustible re-
sources, building up commerce of her own

satisfy her enemies but to lie stll,to be robbed
of her negroes without amurmur, and to de-
vote her whole labor and wealth to the support
ofNorthern commerce and manufactures. The
South is not quite demented enough for tlrat
Again, we repeat, she is now on the right
