might cnuse a Auctuation which would
prove disastrous. To this, whatever may
be said, is owing the reluctance Which
still controls the southern mind notwith-
standing the changes which have como
over the country. II il the effect Of early
Southern education and training.
THE SOUTHERN MAN,
in his feelings, In his emotions, in his nc
tions, is impetuous and what he wants to
do, he wants TO do at once. III he vent.
ures in speculation, such is his nature.
that he is not satisfied to watch and wait
to labor and toll for the profits, but he
wants II quickly.
The Northern man, upon the other hand,
reared in acolder cline, under different
system Of watching and waiting, and Of
working and toiing forhis gains, although
small is disposed to wait. Early taught to la
Dor and econonlise and save the cents, rs they
make the dollars, he IL more cool and cal
culating and therefore more naturally in
clined to bid his time and least his bread
upon the waters" belicveing that after n
time he will gather itup. Such are the
characteristics OF the genuine South Caro-
linian and snch those OF the Northern man.
This peculiar idosyncrasy Of the South
crn people is gradually wearing away and
tho coming generations who shall inherit
South Carolina will be as different from,
the past as the Greek from the Roman.
No state has a finer climate, finer soil
greater facilities nor better convenicnces
any way than this proud little State. Fac
tories will yet arise up on every stream,
and new, fresh, energetic, industrious
minded population shall cause il to bloom
and blossom with the glofes OF wealth,
prosperity and greatness.
There is a great hue and cry over the
land about
THE "PRosTRATE STATE"
aud.while, perhaps, much OF this has been
owing to all unprincipled, plundcring set Of
adventures; yet by far the greatest part
has been owing to the "maslcrly inactivity"
the indolcnce, the apathy OF the native in
habitanis themselves, who, mnddened by
| the ierccncss Of the war, would not in that
| ill-humor and prejudice accept the condi-
| tion of things unless it suited their BOur-
| bon views and notions. They are begin
ming, however, to sec the ill-cfiects OF their
| policy and arc bending now like the reed
to the storm and taking advantage Of eV-
| cry breeze that blows, to fill the sails OF
their gallant little boat and steer her into
harbor Of security.
No matter what may be sail abont the
Republican party, its defaulters in this
State have been but few and after trial
and examination il generally turns out to
he seven days wonder.
Think for moment. In the bank here
is lying over $1,000 on deposit, all dead
wood, when, if it were in the hands Of
| Northern men, every dollar would be
planted out. Think Of the factories the
population that amount would bring in.
Can any man wonder and be surprised at
| the condition of the South.
What is wanted here is a new race, a
new people, living, moving, breathing, en-
crgetic, go ahead people, who live not for
| the present, but the future bold and fear
less thinkers and actors. They don't want
"diggers" who live upon roots and snails,
nor persons like the Prodigal Son, who liv-
ed upon husks. They want men who
build pyramids.
When the Southern country is represent
ed by true representative constituency Of
this class Of men, then will it be said that
peace, plenty and happiness dwclls with
~ the hamIets and palaces OF the great
| Southern country.
BY the by the Republican family OF this
State are looking forward with interest to
the ELECTION Of Gen. Hayes, as Governor OF
| Ohio. More anon, ALoSzo.
