THE LESSON or QUE CIVIL VAR.


The Ne,c- Orleans Price CurTen-a journal of
the intensest Southern roclivties-discusses
the visit of Mr.. Greeley to the South as tol-
lows:
1.-THE industrial doctrines professed BY Mr.. Greeley
have subjugaed the South Not because he professed
them-they were planted before his day. They origin
ated with the great DE Witt Clinton, who persisted in
the execution OF q great work OF internal Improvement
which connected the Atlantic with the Lakes. That
canal conducted population into the Indian wilderness
1t was the pioneer Of those other ways which nave
poured all Europe upon the Northwestern territory
won by the Of the Southern colonies and which
have naturally brought the votes and arms OF that pop-
atOn TO the aid OF the cities and sections that bestowed
these blessings upon them Mr.. Webster Mr. Carey, Mr.
Seward and Mr. Greeley have been the advocates OF the
capital commercial and mechanical interests IL fol-
lowed that when the question Of inherent rights In the
States was referred to the arbrement OF the sword the
one section was hand with soldiers ships arms food
money, and credit while the other had courage and
Just cause patriotism and endurance. Now far
from agreeing with the school In which Mr. Greeley is
eminent professor, that any industry Is entitled TO
special protection at the hands Of the Government but
we are satisfied that people hope to be free
that exchange staple productions, worth gold and
silver for commodities which perish In the
use; who have to send abroad for the
guns that they fight WITH the food that they eat and the
but that the command of immigrant numbers capital
and mechanical skill with the financial Of the
Government and country, was due to the school OF
material and industrial development at the North They
received powerful aid from the total want Of prepare
ton departments the South. We have always
thought that Ames CO.. the greatest manufacturers
OF spades shOvels and in the world did more TO
conquer people who had not mandatory OF spades
shOvels than any general Of the Federal army
"Setting aside, them the ruinOus application which
has been made OF industrial progress by the Federasts,
have cause OF complaint against the disciples OF
this school, On the contrary it is the true duty Of the
South to cultivate all those industries the want OF which
has ensaved her. The foundation OF and conquest
laid when Washington in vain adjured the Southern
people connect the waters Of the Chesapeake with the
Northwestern territory Mr.. Greeley happens TO have
been contemporary Of the OF the system founded
by Clinton Adams and Webster. III there be something
not not let us commit the mistake of turning
domination upon individuals profess the doctrine.
"There topic upon which Mr.. Greeley is entitled
TO the unreserved approval Of all who live by land and
labor He has been of the most intelligent and con-
slstent advocates OF agricultural Improvement What
he Knows about Farming has become jocular
phrase but II he knows much as he has printed he
possesses no desplcabe of knowledge 1t is little
late in the day at boOkfarming when the best
minds of the world engaged in Analysing soil and
seed to the bors increase the profits OF the
farmer The Agricultural Department OF THE NEW
YORK TRIBUNE contains much OF scientific and prac-
teal knowledge any other paper and as it has larger
circulation than most, must difuse much OF that
knowledge"
