brave men, as honorable foes, and leave thp
rest with God. We cannot change the past
for that is above the the control of human
hands, but we can and must control the I'm.
ture, and it must be done in such way
that never again, upon American soil, shall
hostile graves be thus closely dug and filled
with Ametftan dead This being the case
the question arises, how shall this be donel
The answer is, We must have harmO.
NOUS union among all the people, and in.
crease the material wealth of the whole
country. That these things must be done
no sane man can deny. 1t is duty incum.
bent upon every citizen, who claims the pro.
lection of the law, to sustain this gove7.
ment of the people The country souths
filled with regrets, and many OF the people
are bowling down with sorrow. REGRETS
cannot be changed for that which is in the
past, but the cloud of depression can and
must be lifted. Our interests and the gen.
eral good of society demand it. Take a
survey of the past, present and future of our
| State, and we will see that we stand in tine
bright morning of our future.
It requires but the hand of industry to
rest in earnest upon the soil, and wealth in
untold millions will leap from her bosom.
! The South has been backward in her ma
terial development by the indifference of
| her people. 1t has been favorite idea
with many, that it was chance and the cir
cumstances of life, that made one part of
our common country more prosperous than
the other; that placed the commerce of the
nation upon a northern line and emptied
the imports into the store houses of our
northern cities; that received our exports at
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston; that landed the industrious for
eigners and supplied them with homes in
the Northern and Western States that built
the beautiful manufacturing towns of Low
ell and Manchester, to spin and weave our
cotton that opened the iron and coal mines
of Pennsylvania and New York t; that cleared
the forests and broke up the prairies of the
west, covered them with green fields and
dotted them with populous towns and cities;
that built school houses, where every child
is educated, and churches, where all souls
are blessed-that chance did this, and
more. My friends, this has been great
mistake. Chance has been an idle, sleeping
and dreaming spectator, while these events
have been forming by natural agencies alone
The commerce of the country has been
flowing upon northern line, because the
Southern ports have been practically closed
by the people themselves. Nature has open
ed numerous harbors, wide and deep, and
