Louisville Courler-Journal.
In the South wealth is more equally
distributed than anywhere else on the
globe; and the increase Of it has not dis
tribnted the proportion. All classes are
growing alike There are no enormous
fortunes and there are no half fed multi
tudes clinging TO great cities and forming
fruitful soil for sedition and anarchy.
The balance hasno been disturbed No
part Of the population regards any other
with jealousy and hostility. All work to-
gether for success, and they do not yet
fully comprehend how much they have
done. The South is contributing her share
toward the support and advancement of
the nation. She has many obstacles to
encounter, but they have not discouraged
her. She helps pay hundred million a
year for pensions, but she gets little in
return. She gives up an immense annual
tribute TO the manufacturers of New
England and the Middle States, but her
farmers struggle on, nevertheless. and
some day they will be the salt and saw
ing strength of this republic.

was adopted for the purpose Of
preventing the exercise Of any tyranny
