think some advantages will result from this war in
the future. Whilst We have been hurt and chas.
tised for the present, yet let rcaember that we
may accumulate property in the Vh:ure, and all
our surplus capital, instead of being laid out in ne

maturing our lands, planting orchards, building
permanent fences and in manufactures of all
kinds. Attracted to this land, immigrants from
other parts of the world, and from the North will
settle amongst US, because we have as good a
cline any under the sun. Our towns and viii
lagos, instead OF going to decay, will improve, and
arts and sciences will flourish among us. Such
believe, will be one Of the results of the war.
And not only that there is another advantage.
