OF Mr. Walker, will amount In ten years
to the great sum OF seventeen thousand
million OF dollars. M
Cotton has been regarded AZ one OF the
chief elements of national wealth. Five
million OF bales, valued at two hundred
and any million Of dollars, were "rais'
cd In 1860 by the labor aud watered Dy
the tears OF four million of slaves
Some idea may I've formed of the capact-
~ OF the cotton States wien 1t Ia known
that less than one aud seven tenths per
cent. of available lands have yet been
Gu. loved In its cultivation. The ex-
pOrts of cottbn, rice and naval stores In
1880 exceeded one hundred and ninety
six million OF dollars.
It may be said that this source OF
revenue will not be hereafter available
for the extinguishment OF the public
debt. But from the verdict just pro-
nounced by the peOple-aad from which
there can be no appeal-the slave Is free,
and the control OF the cotton States VIII
not be given up, 1t Is devoutly hoped,
except with the national life. 1.-THE
| freedom OF the slave, and the existence
of a free government" says Professor
Kendrick, "are OF more consequence
than the wealth OF the nation and the
| lives of all that dwell In It."
"Since 1919, Great Britain with q
population of nineteen million two hup-
dred and seventy. Ave thousand, and at
that date, without railways, ocean
steamers or labor saving machinery, be-
Ing engaged In foreign and domestic
wars, has carried for the last forty
eight wears the enormous debt Of four
thousand two hundred and Ave million
of dollars, and now ranks in wealth and
industrial power among the first nations
of the earth"
What then may we anticipate as the
future of this Republic, with produc'
ing population so per cent. larger, deb
!. OF one half the magnit lde, with rail
ways, ocean steamers, ..shar.saving ma
chinery, immigration unprecedented In
the history Of the world, with an annual
income of millions Of gold, and all the
elements of growth and improvement,
In degree unequaled1 Such resources
and such strength sure as the laws o.
gravltation, will enable US to carry the
burthen of our public debt.

NIiddlcbury College.

Editor Rutland Herald Will you per-
NIT me, through your columns, to say a
few words to the friends Of Middlebury
College, in Rutland county. No county
in the State, except Addison, has done
40 much for that Institution in furnish
ing students and funds. The history
OF the past, therefore, inspires us with |
confidence in placing the present wants
OF our College before the patrons OF ed
ucation in your county.
Our Board of Trustees, at late meet
ing. resolved to raise one hundred thot'-
sasd dollars for the more complete endow-
ment of the Institution. They desire to
increase the number of instructors, to
enlarge the library and philosophical
apparatus, to pay debts, and to furnish
better facilities for physical exercise.
"A we depend upon the people and not
upon the State, for endowments, we are
constrained to make our condition
known to the people, and again to solic-
It their pecuniary aid.
Many OF our Colleges have improved
the present prosperous condition in fnan-
cial affairs to enlarge their means of
usefulness, aud establish themselves
mon = tirmer foundation. Their ap-
peals to the public have been responded
to with more than usual promptness
and liberality. Encouraged by such
facts and urged by our necessities, we
also make an appeal to patrons and
friends. We began at home. The trus-
tees and faculty, the citizens Of Middle
bury and towns in the vicinity, have
shown their interest in the object by
liberal subscriptions, varying from one
hundred to Ave thousand dollars. The
subscriptions are not binding, unless they
amount to at least sixty thoHsand dollars.
