virtues of their grandmothi rs. Uofor.

Übili y arises solely from forsona! at

a viituuus and bemest c >u-se of life.
I hold that in ar much a* th< 8-iuth
ern people will hate to 1 urn this lesson
scorn rir lat cr, that it is tho part it
true wisdom and patriotism to begin as
soon as possible ao entire change in the
manner ts bringing up our boys and
giiL. AVhilo in the 1 a o;ou days of the
post, men could readi'y accumulate a
handsome fuituue for their children in
a life-time, it may have been a pardona
li'c weakness on the part of fathers to
d' sire ti provide for their i ft*: ring a lif
of ease on a we 1 stock' and ; l inin'ion, or
to destine ;bnir sons for the profession
of Lawyers or Physic aos, as being
thought the only road to dm motion and

Deeds labor—herculean labor, to raise ii
aguin cm*, of the abyss of p. verty into
which it, has fallen. The adolescent
youth must toil nit only at the rlow,
| but at the anvil, tin loom, and all other
: meceanieal avocations f r which the
I country needs hi borers. I* is truly
I p .i'iful foobs l'rn how little mechauio.il
; skill we havecirr.ng us, mil that, mostly
•fa very ordinary kind. One hoars on
all sides comp'aints of the ir.sufficiency,
uuskilif ilctsa. and want of reiiahility ot
mochauios. We need this competition
which pu's down not the wage*, but
the incompctcncy of the mechanics.
The tend ney of the times points to
an Aggregation of numbers in towns and
ciiies * every new cit.lz nis cither a m r
chant, a lawyer, or a physician, for no
other avocation scarcely can got a foot
hold or a livtlihntd in town at present
To the obe< rvnht man this is not a
tigu ot the luaithy industrial pro-prets
of tho country. The three avocations
up. ken of, though useful in their way,
do by no means oontrif ute to tho pro
ductive tes uic-’s and prosperi'y of a
Si tarn. Ouiy two classes in s ciety cre
ate wealth—the farmer and the nucbau
k , uud ti" Ft tc is truly wealthy aud
iudcpeiidont that has not a populniou
pr prt 1 y divided le ween the two.
What a contrast is presented by the
two B'ate?—Ohio aud Virginia. The
pnpnliliori of the latter is mainly agri
cn t irai, th»t of the firmer both egri
cural and m'chanual; V r„i ia is one
of the oldest State of the Union, Ohio
is iwe conipnr tvdy young; yet today
Ohio is fifty jcaifi in advance of her
older sister in mechouioal skill, energy,
enterpri'u and we-.t’th. The prosperity
i.f the* Northern un i Western Btatcs is
mainly duo to the eocourag men* given
to the mechanic,.who 'here ti .(is every j
where an ample li.dd for his skill and !
energy. It is no light etimu'us to him i
that tie biiugs up his family in n re
spectald ■, though net tile higl os', sphere
of society j and bo has betoro him the
a’t aetive example of very many men,
ouee mechanics and poor live him -il*',
who by .their own energy have risen
io ho head of vast man* aeturing es
tablishment.
To open such a f wtunc to (he South
■rn youth and Southdn mechanic, all
that is necessary is lo e'evale the Me
chanic in the social ecale, and mat
young men cast aside all morbid pride,
end u e vigorously for tin ir own and
t' eir cnun'iyV good the nerve and mus
cle God lias le-towed upon him. It is
a sound maxim, respect your-clf, und
others will learn to respect you. At all
eve its, I should consider tlio lot of an
honest skil ful mechanic, whose r-err ic< 8
are always in demand and well p id fr,
far preferable to the weary, hope-des
troying life which the young lawyer or
and dor must otlen drag out, until suc
cess smiles upon him, aud then perhaps
until after all power of cuj ij mcut is
fled
1 have spnkoo of what I oonceive to
be the prin opal objection agsiu.lt young '
nion fallowing a mechanical avocation,
mmclv— false pride. This i* not how
ever tn <K:ly drawback with the®.—
Ai> impedeuici.t ia her le s difficult
to overcome, is the g nc-r.l desire to get
alot g with as little labsr as prgsible,
and then, when the task is once begun,
to ohange to something else. It is uu
dtn tblo that we 8( ldom observe young
men stick long to anything, whether as
student* clerks, planters <*r in *oy other
! pursuit, though it is eti lent that with
| out extraordinary persevcrcnce no man
ran ever become a successful mechaniio
or rxoi l in uiiytliug ebo.
This very general trait, some attrib
ute to the climate, 1 should rather ai
sign the cause of it, to a defective tiain
ing in early Inylo and. And if this
again is attributable to slavery, then
the Country will le amply repaid hr
