These truths were eVj5Bty operating on
Governor Roberts mid when he thus adj
dressed this legislaturs.I And he goes on to
illustrate the drift by ding the apparently
insignificant but real important items OF

He cites further tJl it is "ongaged in find

"kill OIL the cotN worms" Is engaged in
the business Of todel gardening collecting
and "sending glt seeds OF peas and beans"
To further illy.rate the idea, tho governor
proceeds TO rSkte HOW 1t is extending iii
influence syr all citizens directly by
writs Of Imandamus sDd injunction
requiring kJFernori to execute state laws,
under tb6 construction Of district federal
iudge% Hs refers, in the sam, connection,
to tI "lxr authorizing federal court to
DECIDE contested election between state Of
6lers," and projecting the right to yoio Of =
Iclass Of the citizens of tho stats in state
election held within q state" And then he
refers to that in.iduous proposition nov in
congress, viz: 'to educate the children in the
states, and to assume control of the scheelf
by iii appropriation of state Deficiencies"
seductive proposition for southern
people, truly, to bite At. Thus,
step by step, he seems TO fear these eRcro.ch-
Insnis, these asfump tisDs regulating private
rights and interests Of the people Of the states
will 90 on, until the final sbSobton shall
come like a thief in the night.
On the principle of this same doctrine of
states rights, as known to the founders, the
governor thinks the state alone best can and
ought to regulate it; own affairs, its schools,
its railroads, its public health, quarantine,
etc. And under this view and to this end,
he urges the building up of this great
s srn the exempton from taxation for ten
yesss nronertv invested in the msnufact,lre
of , nnr own cotton ssvool urd other raw mate.

metallic wealth, etc
There is a shade Of inconsistency IN a nor
ten of these Recommendations. viz. the hten
years exemption Of manufactures, /" for tbi. is
nothing more nor less than the protectionst
high tariff levied against the consumer tax
