divinity hfst ne can preach still where his
church is left standing; but his congregation
have not tho money 70 pay him 800 quar-
ter where formerly they paid him $500 Sap
pose he is q lawyer; in the 6rst place there IL
no law, as there never is where there Is no
business; and u there was, his clients cannot
pay him any money. The same Is the case
with the physician. People get sick as usual,
and they send for their doctor, but they can
not psy him money for his services. Suppose
he Is q merchant, his bushel Of "Confeder-
rats'' paper, left on his hands, won't buy
goods In the Northern cities; and II he could
get goods on credit his old customers have no
money to buy with. Suppose he Ia school
teacher the parents Of children cannot pay
for their schooling. Suppose he is . carpen-
ter, there are no houses being built Suppose
he Ia tailor or shoemaker or q saddler:
everybody Is economiEing and trying TO
make every old article Of clothing or Of other
domestic uses last as long as possible.
And yet every one Of these men has his fam
lily TO support How is II with the farmer ?
Formerly he had his regular income from what
he made TO sell. IL he had no money he
could get credit until he could dispose Of his
forthcoming crop; now his resources are gone.
His slaves have left him, or II they remain,
II Is 10 do not more than half work, raising q

NORTHERN MEN AND NORTHERN MONEY
WANTED.
Therefore, what sort Of work can all
these classes OF people go to-" They can't
erect manufacturing establishments and go
to manufacturing, because that requires cap
ital, and they have none. Tho same OF
mining; the same Of commerce. To build
vessels requires money, and also skill in
these peculiar branches Of labor, which must
come from abroad. After weighing these
considerations, what, then, would the man
say who supposed he had disposed Of the diff
hculty by saying, "let everybody 60 to
work." Would he say let everybody go to
work in the fields, raising corn, cotton, to-
bacco, &c.! The only reply to that sugges-
ton Is this: suppose the very state Of things
l have described as existing here in the
South were, by some great revulsion, to sud
denly take place in the State Of Pennsylva-
mia, or New York, would any sensible and
rejecting man, in either State, suggest as
remedy for the evil, '1et everybody go to
work IN cultvating the soilH' II Northern
capital and Northern enterprise and North
ern population will come to the South and
develope our immense manufacturing, min
ing, agricultural, and commercial resources,
and the General Government, encouraged
and sustained by Northern opinion, will take
away the black race and colonize them, why,
then, can see some brightness in the fu-
ture. But, II the Northern mind, from a
feeling Of resentment and unkindness on &C.
count OF the past, shall determine that they
will do nothing to alleviate our condition,
they will ind out before q very great while
that whilst We arc ruined they also will be
greatly crippled. I know something of the
immense resources and power of the North
know they can get along without the
aid Of the South. But I also know that the
resources ofthe South contribute greatly to the
wealth and prosperity of the North. There
fore the more prosperous the South was the
greater was the benefit derived by the North.
The North was unwilling that this prosperity
should co-exist with slave labor. The North
having thus dxed our social status and labor
system to suit itself, ought 1t not, from
consideration Of justice to us, and Of inter
est and policy to itself, to aid and assist us
In removing all the obstacles in the way of
restoration Of that mutual interest and de.
pendence Of the two sections
wish to God every man in the North
could see and know the real condition of the
South Just as 1t is. have confidence in
their feelings of humanity and sympathy for
suffering to believe that such reaction in
public opinion never was known as would
immediately take place. They would see
people ruined, defeated, humiliated, over
whelmed. This is the truth, and l have no
disposition to conceal it. No one seems to
have any aims or plans as to the future
What more can the people Of the North de-
sire? They have triumphed, they have con.
quersd and subdued the people of the South
The latter are ct their mercy. No northern
man can deny that in the struggle the suf.
ferings and sacrifices of the South have been
tsnfold greater than those of the North.
Ought not the spirit of magnanimity for
brave and conquered enemy now to stay their
uplifted arms4 Ought not feeling Of hu.
mainly for 4 people Of the same race and
lineage now to disarm their rage Ought
not feeling of policy TO restrain them from
killing the goose whose golden eggs have
heretofore enriched them?
I assure you, that so far rs any feelings Of
further resistance to the Government is con-
cerned, do not believe there is the most re-
mote idea Of any such thing. Our people
seem TO have walked up, as it were, from q
