A CHANGED TONE .

press, marked change 10. the letter aLo

Many have supposed that the attempted as
ssssination of the president had in great
degree caused this nearer approach TO a
friendly feeling and unity ofsentment, and
tmay, to certain extent, have had this
effect, but the cause lies deeper hid than
this, and is of a far more encouraging and
enduring character. There is very little
stability to the sympathy or fraternity
springing from common danger, or from
any other merely temporary consideration.
Nations or sections, with diverse interests
and bitterly inimicsl one to the other, arc
often found linked together to avert ma
tional danger, or mourning together over a
similar misfortune, but the alliance which
lives, and friendship which grows and assin-
Hates two people must generally be based
upon a matter of vital importance to both
their existence and future welfare. The
north and the south must learn that they
cannot develop their natural advantage
or even retain what they now have in TN
way Of the comforts Of living without ciO,e
and cordial intercourse, before a reri fgGtels

Hence capital and its representatives

In every manner possible, efforts at q better
understanding. The results are already be-
lag seen and felt, and from this time for
ward greater familiarity must spriDg up
and more cordial relation exist between
the two sections. This is as every patriot
should wish, and money ia lying idle at the
eastern centers and resources undeyelopel
hero, because these vital matters have not
been understood or appreciated sooner.
Daily is the intelligence received that cotton
factories and manufacturing establishments
of every kind are being built throughout the
whole tier Of southern states. and by happy
combination in almost every instance OF
northera and southern effort ana money. An
amalgsmston such rs this promises the most
desirable outcome and it will not be
long under such circumstances before
the entire people will in reality
be one, politically, socially, flnan'
CHILLY, in sentiment and otherwise. But
while these great changes are taking place

encouraged, our own people should not de-
pend too much upon this outside assistance
for their expansion and wealth. They should
learn many useful lessons from and profit by
the example of these ehterprising strangers

raw material, but money and brains and all

sections of the south taking this tide al the

pos ais have been listened to and responded
