The facts in the foregoing table may enable Us
to form a toerahly ia estimate of the shipping
interest of each State in the Union. But in this
department as in all others illustrating the COM
mcrcial enterprise of the Union,we find ourselves
wofuly deficient. With all the facts adduced
before u.s. cannot be at "A loss to account for
the unprecedented growth of the Northern and
Eastern cities. Pastoral and agricultural com
munities must look to other sources for the nc
uu'"u"ti''.s vf .:- II 9TH, dian supply
grazing stock and tng the earth. To what can
we more advantageously direct our attention than
10 commerce! In opening ont the sluices of
trade we invite wealth, civilization and the fine
arts within our borders. Our cities revive and
hourish--uur population increases, and all the
great departments of industry assume increased
yignr and activity. But it is not equally as APP
parent, that we can never have large cities ex-
tenSve commerce, either foreign domestic, as
long our country and village merchants refuse
TO purchase their supplies ct goods III Virginia,
but seek them in neighboring States! Does any
one expect large cities to be sustained by retail
ncighborhood tradel Are not the agricultural
classes directly interested IN the prosperity of
our cities! Then five desire to build up our
cities the people must encourage direct importa-
tons, and endeavor TO induce our country and
village merchants to purchase their stock of goods
in our cities.
In addition to the foregoing impediments, our
wealthy citizens not only spend in their pleasure
trips hundreds of thousands of dollars in the
Northern and Eastern States but they send their
children there for education, and thus acquire a
taste for empl lying Northern teachers, preae aers
mechanics and artiz rs. All classes seem, there
fore more or less ambitious to prove, who shall
contribute most TO aggrandize every Northern
interest, to the neglect and exclusion Of what can
be obtained about as good at their own doors.
Our literary institutions are equal to any in
the Union our mechanics have but few superiors
and within our borders we possess almost every
variety of pleasure ground, and multitude Of
healthy and fashionable places of resort. Why
then should Virginans descredit the State, and
seek elsewhere what they can as well obtain and
enjoy within our borders!
