Fusnre Prosperity Of Oar State

The recent election having established the
fact beyond all peradrenture, that Tenues-
see is thoroughly reconstructed and her at
fairs shall continue dd iginitgn in the guar
dianship of loyal men, she presents ~ wide
and inviting field to foreign capitalists, ar
tisans, tradesmen and professional men. The
unfouuded and illihera lanimosi.icS entertain
I'd by our people towards those OF Northern
birth, which has been a very serious obsts-
Gle TO the Influx of professional talent, CAPT
tai and intelligent labOt from the Eastern
States are being rapidly removed by the IRE
sistible logic OF their superior systems Of
commerce labor and education, and they vii!
soon be prepared to extend a hand Of well
CONT TO every worthy emig.ant, no matter
from Ehence he halls, and bid him assist in
developing our almost ezhaustless resources.
The old aristocracy with which our country
has been cursed, not a pace before the rude
civilization Of Eve centuries ago, the soul and
life of which was human chattelism is up
rooted from its deep foundations The times
of barbarism and inequality, when robbed
labor and ~wronged humanity were the props
Of social and political power are numbered
with the antediluyian ages. Affairs have as
Sumsd such a condition, and the high
wrought notions Of superiority entertained
by the Southern mind have been so COM
pletely rebuked by our people, that the child
of every cline and creed can find a home in
our State congenial TO bis desires, and fields
Of labor that will return the richest harvest.
The Eastern part Of our State furnishes sufi-
cient water power to drive the machinery Of
beds o%firon, copper, silver and other precious
metals, whilst its vallies richly reward the
iuils Of the husbandman. Grasses grow iae-
", and there is no better stock raising coun-
try in the world. The Middle and Western
divisions are adapted TO tho culture Of the
main staples of commerce, having 4 quality
orsoil unsurpassed any where.
We as q people are poor, poor indeed willis,
the treasures of wealth are within easy
reach. We are satisfied with the shadow,
and care nothing for the substance. With con-
tent we clothe ourselves in the rags and en-
dure the drudgeries Of poverty, whilst We
could wear the royal purple and enjoy the in
dependence Of luxurious wealth. We want
an emigration Of enterprising men IN all the
Ayocations Of life to hammer old fogyi5m
out Of all Of US. Let us invite, persuade and
constrain the hard listed New England far
mer who pursues his occupation on a scien-
tifc system, and the capitalist, artisan and
professional man Of the East instead Of fol-
lowing "the star Of Empire to She broad
plains that lie beneath the setting sun, to
come down to our wasted and war scathed
State and make it worthy Of comparison with
any other Of the Union. When we convince
them that they aye welcome, and will be pre-
lected 10 their enloyments BY the moral force
Ofa favorable public sentiment, they will
come by scores. And when their effective
o. stems Of education and industry are fully
introduced, our State will soon have an edu-
Gated people for her pride, ornament, strength
And defence, her well cultivated fields smil-
Ing in toe luxurisHce Of Eden, and Boosting
opulsnt and wealthy cities, now struggling
towns, she will march on to her grand desti-
ny, amid tho thunder roar Of innumera-
BILE factories.
