The yearly^increase of population and
wealth in the Northern States accord
E
ingly far exceeded that in the Southern
States; and while at the first census the
opulation of the South represented one
_alf of the total population Of the coun?
try, in 1860 it was loss than one-third.
The population of the great State of
Virginia, in the early days of the repub?
lic, almost equaled that of any two
Northern States, while in 1860 she
ranked fifth on tho census list, and Bho
averaged only twenty-six persons to tho
square mile; whereas Massachusetts ave?
raged 157. Oar material progress, then,
from year to year, was not what it should
have been, and in that respect the result
was a continuous loss of power and in?
fluence upon the purt of the South. This
fact is indisputable, whatever tho causes
may have been, and it is useless now to
inquire whether it was the result of false
statesmanship and an unfortunate pre?
judice against commerce and manufac?
tures, or the effect of our peouliar insti?
tutions. The causes, however, no longer
exist, and our. present condition and
opportunities are such as should insure
us, if true to ourselves and to the lessons
of the past, our full share of prosperity.
The losses, hardships and sufferings that
have befallen our people are well calcu?
lated to make thorn ? appreciate, now the
importance of,'developing.;all our' re?
sources, -and will,, no doubt- educate
them not only to realize tho necessity of
labordn all Us forms as the means Of ma?
terial success, but also to honor it as an
essential condition of social progress.
There oould be no better schooling for our
people in this respect than their recent
experiences, and they already understand
in all its force the true meaning, as well
aB the philosophy of tho Divine decree:
"By the sweat of thy brow thou sbalt
earn thy bread." It is an interesting
fact in this connection, said to be estab?
lished by statistics, that the health of
colonistwin' hot climates is in direct pro?
portion to their habits of industry.
Those colonists', ? for example, /who labor
habitually, secure health, as nature's re?
ward for their work, and leave a hardy
progeny behind them to inhabit and
possess the bind; while those who are
inert, or whose habits of life are seden?
tary; are more subject to disease and
transmit to their descendants enfeebled
constitutions, as nature's curse for the
violation of her laws.
"Cheered with the viow, man went to till
the grotind -
From whence 'he rose; sentenced, in?
deed, to toil
As to a punishment; yet (e'en in wrath
So merciful is Heaven) this toil became
Tho solace of his woes, the sweet employ
Of many a livelong hour, and the surest
guard
Against disease and death."
The ordeal, it* is true, to which our
people have boon subjected since tho
- close of the war has been a trying one.
The sorrows and. horrors of war wore ex?
ceeded by the evils of reconstruction,
(which, under tho humiliating tyranny
of corrupt officials, surpassed anything
that was. over before inflicted upon a
people of the same culture and civiliza?
tion,) and there is nothing we have to
deplore more bitterly than the effect
upon those who wcro unable from age
to accommodate themselves to the new
ttiroumstanccs, or to change, with impu?
nity, their habits. The young can
change their mode of life, as may be ne?
cessary, and can meet and outlivo losses
and troubles, but this is rarely possible
with those advanced in years. How many
of our most rcspootcd and honored have
succumbed to untold trials, losses and
humiliations, who would otherwise have
lived to a good old age! This is, indeed,
one of the saddest features of the sad
picturo, and should be included with
those memories of the past that claim
our deepest sympathy.
In the further consideration of our
subject, it may be necessary to meet the
objection, that the recent tendency to
centralization will end in imperialism,
or [permanent democratic absolutism;
and that, . accordingly, the, future of
our republican government is uncertain.
There is, however, no just cause for ap?
prehension. ' Tho American people will
neither be defrauded of thoir inheritance
of liberty nor forcibly deprived of it
They are too intelligent to be deludod,
and too brave to be overawed. Tho pas?
sions and prejudices of the hour may
temporarily cloud tho truth, but the sun
chine of returning reason will soon dissi
pato the mists, and public opinion will be
again heard on the side of constitutional
government. Tho republic has been
tormed "an experiment," but it has now
weathered the political storms of almost
a century, and tho people are not only
fully imbued with the spirit of freedom,
and deeply attached to their institutions,
but, what is equally important, they
have becomo habituated to self-govern?
ment The idea of any coup d'etat being
successful, therefore, in this country,
with a people accustomed to liberty, is,
of course, preposterous; for, if Ctesarism
had been posBiblo with us, it was only so
through tho votes of tho people them?
selves, who, if untrue to their Anglo
Saxon instincts, might have been tempted
into the support of their successful sol?
dier, from his popularity as the so-called
"Saviour of the Republic." This dan?
ger, however, if it ever existed, as so
many thought, is certainly past; for the
people have spoken hi words that cannot
be misconstrued on the "third term"
question. Calhonn, one of the wisest as
well as purest of statesmen, regarded
oivil war as the soveresttest to which our
republican form of government could be
subjected. His Apprehension was, that
the leader of the victorious section would
become the despot of both sections. As
one institutions have now survived this
ordeal, under the most trying circum
atanoes, we should have greater confi-1
donee ip their stability. The war preju?
dices are at last buried, the bloody chasm
pearod from our political sky. " tf
The reconstruction , measures, it is
true, wero^not only oppressive and
tyrannical?conceived in hate and born
in iniquity--but they resulted from a
cross and unscrupulous abuse of power
by a radical faction, whose legislation
was a disgrace to American self-govern?
ment, and ill comports with the liberal
and advanced views that should have
characterized the American people,
claiming, as they do, to teach and lead
tho world in the art of free government.
We should not, however, hold the people
responsible. Thoy were misled by cor?
rupt party leaders, who relied upon tho
war prejudices to prolong their term of
power. It is not surprising, then, under
the circumstances, that the voice of rea?
son was temporarily hushed, and that it
should have required almost ten years
for Northern voters to understand tho
facts as they existed at the South, and to
roalize the enormitios and wrongs that
had been practiced upon our people
tinder the Reconstruction Acts of Con?
gress. The truth was, however, (thanks
to the independent press,) at last under
stood at the North, and we have the best
evidence in the vote which was polled at
1 the olections last fall, that the masses are
really "true at heart," That vote should
restore confidence in the American peo?
ple, if the excesses of the preceding de?
cade had destroyed it.
It is further true, that the Government
has become consolidated; yet it is still
essentially decentralized?certainly so
as compared with French or continental
centralism. With"the growth and deve?
lopment of the country, there > was ne?
cessarily the usual change from the
homogeneous to the heterogeneous, from
the simple to the complex, from the
weak and purely Federal republic of the
past, to the strong and powerful nation
of to-day; but this was only in accord?
ance icitli the law. of . progress itself,
and arose from the necessity of the
case, in tho growth of the "social
organism." The country has passed
from the condition of a small confede
racy of States, representing a few mil?
lion of people, to that of a groat nation.
It has beoomo ono of the first powers of
the world, and, at the present rate of in?
crease, her population will exceed, be?
fore the close of the century, 100,000,000.
We cannot have the pure Federalism of
Jefferson, but this should cause no appre?
hension, if the present limits of national
authority be not exceeded. A strong go?
vernment does not necessarily preclude
local self-government; for there is no real
incompatibility between tho two. While
we cannot therefore, expect again the
extremes of "States' rights," we may,
nevertheless, enjoy all the blessings
of local control over local interests;
and it is probable that tho present
revulsion against the centralizing po?
licy of the Republican party will re?
sult in the recognition of all constitu?
tional restrictions, and oheck any tend?
ency to further consolidation. Upon tho
whole, there is much that is promising
in tho political outlook for the cause of
froe government, and it probably stands
to-day upon a surer basis than ever be?
fore in the history of the world; and I
would add, in the language of the im?
mortal bard,
"Doubt not but success
Will fashion the event in hotter shape
Than I can lay it down in likelihood."
But furthermore: as in the physical
world, every change in the natural envi?
ronment is followed, we are told, by cor?
responding changes in the fauna and
floral; so, in tho moral world, gradual
changes in the social environment are
followed by corresponding changes in
the social organism. While, therefore,
development and growth, in tho ad?
vance of civilization, frequently produce
changes that would be dangerous, if
if society remained otherwise the same;
yet these very changes become sources
of progress and improvement, when, in
analogy to what is observed in natural
history, corresponding changes occur in
the very fabric of society, adapting it to
neic circumstances. The operation of this
law can be discorncd in the history of free
government in this country. 'While, as we
nave seen, by the force of circumstances,
our simple Federal Republic has become
a strong nation, and as compared with
the States, necessarily clothed with con?
trolling powers?reuen, indeed, as would
have been regarded by our earlier states?
men as fatal and destructive?yet, at tho
same time, corrective and harmonizing
agencies have been developed, which
supply adequate 'counteracting influ?
ences; and I hesitate not to affirm that
the equilibrium will be preserved, and the i
resultant be real progress.
The conclusion of this admirable ad?
dress will bo furnished to-morrow.

zation of the "Centennial Legion," from
tho leading veteran organizations of the
I "old thirteen" States, to take part in the
