| face Echo answers, "where p" There
is not today on the broad face Of the globe
Ia people SO free, independent, happy, and
prosperous as the citizens Of the Southern
States of the American Union. This is a
fact that cannot be denied. Our laws are
liberal and just. Labor. in every depart
ment Of human industry, is having an abund-
ant reward. urplanters of cotton and rice,
who constitute the great body Of the people,
never, in the history of the country, enjoyed
such harvest of prosperity and wealth. The
former especially are loaded down with the
fruits OF their labors, and are troubled to know
what they shall do with their money. Every
railroad that can promise return has been
built, and the stock Of those already in ope-
ration aud that pay good dividends is selling
at enormous rates. In the midst Of the gem
eral peace and plenty even our slaves are
happy. and compare favorahly in the matter
of personal comfort with any laborng popu-
lation on the globe. How ungrateiul, then,
we are to complain when the blessings of
Heaven are thus showered down upon us /!
How strange il is that man is least satisfied
when he is doing best--that the ever-expand-
ing capacity Of his desires knows no bounds
and refuses to be filled! Let US cease our
murmurs, our disoontents, our desire for
change, and thank Providence that we are as
we are. Above all, lei the people, as il with
one voice. repudiate and silence forever those
ministers of evil who are ever trying to con
vince them. in opposition to their senses, that
they are degraded, oppressed, and wronged,
and that il is their duty to raise the hand Of
violence against the benignant Institutions
under which we have grown SO great. free.
and independent.
