Cotton Congress.

Cotton Congress.
RALEIGH, \. c., July 49, The Cotton
Congress met here to-day President
Butler in the chair. Governor Brogden
welcomed the members to the capital of
the State. He said it only remained for
our people, and particularly our
mechanical, manufacturing and farm
ing interests to work together more
harmoniously, sdvisedly and energetic
ally, to make this country all its most
ardent friends could wish, the pride of
our own people and the admiration and
envy of the world. And in this effort
the people of the South and Of the great
West have much to do, As upon their ex-
ertions depend the success of every en-
terprise IN this great country.
The South should depend to n
much greater extent upon her resources
if she ever wished to become prosperous
and independent. We needed more
mar Lucactories of ever character, and
greater diversity in our crops, and more
harmonious working together ofthose in
terests which are so identical. Col. Butler,
in behalf of the Congress, thanked the
Governor and people for this welcome
TO the capital.
f. Ii. Busbee, on behalf OF the Mayor,
extended a hearty welcome to the rep
resentatives Of the great West present,
and deplore it as much as we may, the
West was the granary and smokehouse
of the whole South, and the comming-
ling Of representatives Of the two Sec
tions was peculiarly appropriate. He
said the time will soon come, now has
already come, when the children of
Georgia will read with glowing admira-
tion the matchless deeds of the gallant
Mcpherson, and the youth of Illinois and
Iowa will learn lesson of heroic patri-
otism and sacred devotion to duty at the
grave of Jackson.
DR.. Maxwell, of Tennessee, responded
to Mr. Busbee in behalf Of the Congress.
He returned, in touching terms, the
thanks of the body for the hearty wei
come which had been extended to those
whom he represented. One OF
the principal objects of the Congress was
to unite more thoroughly every inter-
est OF this whole country, and the well
come extended here 10 those Of the great
