in the proposition 10 hold Columbus Exposition in

exhibition and its entire appropriateness, the asonlsh

renders II most desirable that the Southern people
should have an opportunity Of displaying their progress
before their brethren Of the United states and the
people Of the whole world.
Some diversity OF opinion IS NANTES. as to the
most appropriate location for such an exhibition.
with the great growth of National feeling at the South
for which however, you do not always give us credit
the Southern people now turn invariably TO the Ma
tonaI capital as most appropriate for all National
affairs But unless Congress is 10 furnish the money,
only commercial city be depended upon for the
men of money, berality and enterprise for thing
Of this sort and Of the Eastern cities, New-Iork is
the only that possesses these qualifications Hence
Il seems TO nc that NewY0rk is the only point lot
present consideration. In this view comedies H. J..
