We weuld gladly give our read-rs the
whole speech, had we space, but feel itin-
cambent upon ourself TO copy the cone'u-
SON of his addresS-the following noble
sentiment. Read before you pass iua-
neut:
NOTHING LOST.
| sav; men Of Kentucky, men OF tV1
South, YOU have lost nothing BY the over
throw Of slavery. The two or three billion
of property winch you held in slaves, by
the issues Of the war, il is true, has been
lost to the masters, but II has been con-
served to the community. As laborers,
/ i,npclied by the higher incentive Of self
1 Interest and freedom, they exist in more
/ than their original value: still, in the coID
4 nuuitv, as citizens Of the United States,
7 We have gained in enumeration and politi-
/ cal power, in the South, TWO ffths: instead
! of having representation for the blacks,
/ as originally, of three-h fths, We have now
, The full political power and the full vote OF
+, all that population. What remains to be
! done I? The old house has been pulled
/ down. We suffer inconvenience and tenn
porarv loss in the REIMBURSEMENT and re-
building, and the replacement of the ma
, terials. but upon me ruins of the past,
so often happens IN the Providence of God,
better and more permanent structure IS
/ being built in 1t, place. Now, for the first
time, il is basel on the true dignity Of Ia
Dor: now, for the first time, it is based
upon universal education. without which all
the complicated industries of modern civil
zations are impossible.
We have left to us the best climate, the
larger portion of the best soil of these
United States. There remains to Us the
worldwide products Of cotton, tobacco,
and rice: and above all, w-cltizens,
there remains great race which has pro
duced Il Washington. Jefferson, Il Ma.ii-
son, a Calhoun, a Clay, and ether such
names as the world is proud of. Cheers. !
We have left the Union of our fathers, the
Constitution improved by the elimination
Of the only great disturbing influence that
prevented us from becoming a homogene-
GUS people. \ great destiny lies before Us.
THE DUTY OF ALL.
Turning our backs upon secession on one
/ side, ana Capitalization on the other, let ~
educate our whole people, build up great
versify our industries, builI our own raj
roads, manufacture our own WOODS, hemp,
and cottons, and construct our own ships
, With proper industry, economy, and loyal
tv of purpose, there remains to Us not only
! equality, but asccndency IN the onion.
