There is already quite change in this re-
spect; but during the first three years after
the close of the war, it was impeded by seve-
raj causes. In the first place, the South had
succession of bad harvests, and the con-
fiscation laws and the prevailing political un-
certainty paralyzed enterprise, and prevented
capital from flowing into the South. The
consequence was that that section recovered
slowly and heavily from the desolating effects
of war. Another thing which has ope-
rated against the South is the invest
ments made by our business classes in the
public securities. They have feared that
Southern influence would favor the repudia-
ton of the national debt, and that the Gov
eminent bonds would depreciate or become
worthless. The fear of reputation is allayed.
The cotton crops of the last two years have
put the South in condition of comparative
ease and prosperity, and rendered its trade
richly worth cultivating, The full renewal OF
the old commercial relations between the two
sections will do much to restore the former
political cordiality. In q year or two more
the prevailing tone among our influential
business classes will be similar to what it was
before the war, when the South, by the aid
of its Northern connections, exerted an in
fuence in the Government quite out of pro-
portion to its population.
The growing preponderance of the West
will be illustrated by the census of this year.
Most of the European immigrants proceed
Immediately to the West, and the emigration
from the Eastern States continues at such a
rate that the rural population of the East re-
mains nearly stationary. The census of this
year is expected to show that the West has
been outgrowing the East more rapidly for
the last ten years than during any former
period. All this Western growth will soon be
represented in Congress. 1t will enable the
West to dictate the policy of the Government
upon all subjects on which the West is
united, and can command q moderate rein
forcement from some other section of the
country.
We conclude, therefore, that the legislation
of the present Congress is no index to the
future policy of the Government. The present
Congress is an effete body, the organ of ex-
piring passions and the representative of con-
stituencies which are about to be remodelled
in harmony with the altered distribution of
population. The reapportionment of Repre-
sentatives on the basis of the new census will
mark the dividing line between the effete
political era that is going out, and the new
era that is coming in.
