Hon. Ben Hill, of Georgia, says:

He is stupid visionary who supposes
he can ever make peace between the politi-
clans of the two sections. These politi-
clans have been the diSturbers of the peace
for twenty years. They have acquired
power by reason of their success in keep
ing the peace disturbed, and their only
hope Of continuing in power is to continue
to be distprbers of that peace. The PEG.
pie must be reached, the people of the
north and the south, and they must be
reached in such manner as to show them
that they have a common interest, anC
ought to have common feeling.

possesses such remarkable advantages /:
she Is in the center of the finest cotton
ana grain region; she l. on the great
Mississippi, below all distractions of ice
or low water; she is on the dividing line
between the cotton and grain States.

gcs may he her ruin, II unaccompanied
