rae south After Restorjatfoa
The great political revolution the South has
been passing through the last four years wiz
be followed, undoubtedly, by greater one In
the social Industrial and material condition Of
that section of the country. The tide OF enter
vrise and emicration from the North and from
Europe only waits full restoration OF peace
and political privileges to How with steady
and Aonstantly increasing volume. 1t has set IN
alroad~- from the North, and it will soon swell
by additions, both from here and the ga
World. y hen political demagogues ana Sec
fiona, finn atics cease to obstruct the progress
Of that rich portion of the United States.
The te,ade ncy of population, when there are
no serious causes to hinder, Is always rom
colder to warmer regions within the temperate
zone. This has been SO throughout the history
- the huma a race, and arises from natural
causes well understood. Not only Is the cn'
mate Of the slouthern latitudes more genial
and more attr, ctive and enjoyable, but the
soil il more OF slifc, and there y greater
variety Of produc tons Who, then, would not
change the sterile rocks Of New England or
the cola climate of the North for the rich and
sunny South. as soon as peace and harmony shall
be restoreds The ms dtution Of slavery and the
sectional conflicts It CT eated, which mad ten

the people Of the two sections more
friendly than they ever were. They have
learned to respect the bravery and high quail
ties Of each other. Each fought for political
object, not from antpatly Of race; one for
separate existence, in order to preserve, as they
believed, their domestic institution Of slavery;
the other for union and to av0id present and
future disintegration. The forntr, with their
institution, have succumbed, and the latter
have triumphed in the grandesst and most deci-
sive wars The defeated accept the nrdSitrament,
and, the cause for which the war was made
being removed, they desire to forget the past,
and to identify themselves will the grand des-
tiny Of this reunited country. This'i evident
from their declarations and conduct, as well
as from common sense view q f their interests.
For these reasons the Southern people are in
viting and will welcome Northe IN immigration
and enterprise. Both see that their interests
are identicalt and, from necess ity, interested
motives, and identity Of institute ons and race,
they will work together hereafter liz develop
ing the immense natural.resources Of that Sec
ton Of a common country.
The idea Of making another st. Domingo or
Jamaica Of the magnificent terrii ory' Of the
South-of giving, the negro possession Of and
con!soa over that fairest portion of the Ameri-
can continent, as our Jacobin republicans
would, Is the most insane and impossible one
that ever entered into the mind of imam. The
negro, however, will become usefu element,
though subordinate one; in this gre at work Of
development and; progress. His labor will
be made available, and be rewarded,
throughout the whole South where the
race is now scattered. But in the course
Of time, as the States become settled
more with white people, he wilI hAd his
home on the rice and cotton Ian DIS Of the
Atlantic coast of South Carolina and Georgia,
on the shores of the Gulf Of Mexico, and over
the deep alluyial lands Of the Lowers Missis-
sippi.. These regions are adapted to his con-
stitutinn. He can thrive In all tb vigor Of
manhood and luxnriate under tropical sun
white man cannet This must be the ulti-
mate home Of tker mass 81 the negro race.
Those, Southern States that bori Ter the North,

Carolinas, Georgia. Alabama, NJ ississippi, Ten

a Numerous working white popr ilatioa.
Within the area of the, South arm States nearly
ALI the productions nesessar for the subsist-
cnce of man, OF that enter in to commerce, are
found. The best, -four com.s from the wheat
fields of.yirxinia and other !parts-; of the South
1t Is the bsst and greates,t tebacco growing
region in. the world The Gulf Stream and
suitable sou make 1t thu, only, country where
the long staple cotton can be grown. Corn
will grew luxnriantly and yield abundantly,
with little labor, and in many places by
scratching The earth. The. sugar cane rises
and swells to IN enormous size, full of juice,
fronsth tseming soil of houisiaaa; and where,
Is there any rice found like that Of South Caro-
lima and Georgia. Look, too, at the grazing
lands, thaI6ne stock, andsthe wool of the South.
low valuable, too, are the forests of oak, of
pine and other timber which our shiphuild-
ers appreciate so much. The mountains
are hall Of the fnest iron, coal, copper,
and gold. Fruits of. every description grow
abSndantly. Nowhere, perhaps. do tho peach,
melon, grape, pear and pineapple, thrive bet
ter or with as little tronble. In thefar South
they have even the orange and banana. The
