intercourse not only prevents the adoption by
her citizens Of many branches Of industry
which would increase her wealth and diminish
her dependence, but it drives her people TO.
seek employment in other States, where the
facilities for the culture and sale Of her great
staple are more advantageous Now, the rep
resentation of State is not based upon its
area, nor upon its past services, bat upon the
number Of people which it contains. The
American people require as indispensable con-
dtions Of citizenship some means of education
for their children, and the means Of industrial
employment If these advantages are secured
to them, they will contribute their numbers
and influence to the good Of the State; if not
they viii carry those advantages to some other.
What, then, viii it profit Alabama that Gov
ernor Winston can make violent and con-
fused speech upon State rights, or that he may
have several large and productive plantations
if the people of Alabama can neither get
their cotton to market until everybody else has
sold, nor purchase goods except at double the
prices for which they are sold elsewhere, nor
educate child without sending him to Vir-
ginia or New England nor see a newspaper
without sending twenty miles to some stage
routep With such constitutional adviser,
and such policy, Alabama cannot expect to
sustain herself in the great race of sectional
competition. She needs practica statesmen,
who will educate her children, improve her
soil, open her mines, found her commerce, and
increase her federal vote. Governor Winston
is precisely the man to fight against this sys-
tenn; and whilst in one point Of view it does
not matter picayune how he may declaim
against the American Order, or how often he
may have occasion to reproduce his revolver
in the course Of the campaign, it is of critical
Importance to Alabama that she should call
to her councils men who can comprehend
the true value of her physical development,
and take tho responsibility Of providing for
it. There may be proportion Of ignorant
and bigoted politicians who oppose the employ
ment of State credit for purposes of State de-
velopment, but they should be told that this
appropriation is rather forth common defence
than for local advantages, and we will guaran-
tee that il those who advocate State improve
ments shall succeed in their patriotic plans,
the school Of narrow-minded fogyism will be-
come extinct We have known it to happen
in other States, and 1t will be inevitable in

feeling it due to their State and themselves that
the facts Of the case, and the action of the minority

Gil, before the Council prior TO the taking OF the
vote on the subject mentioned, expressed their
opposition personally to the introduction OF the
agitating question of slavery asserting that they
believed II was not involved in the discussion Of
American principles. That until the presenting Of
the protest referred TO- the majority delegates did
not present to the National Council their views,
or the views of their States, in opposition to the
introduction Of the question Of slavery, when the
proper time Of expressing disapproval TO be effec
tive and not productive Of discord was before, and
not after, the taking the vote thereon. !,
That the minority delegates only abandoned
their expressed views when 1t became apparent
that platform on the principle must be adopted
