It is kuown to yeu, Mr, President and gautlcmoD, that at the conclusion of the war so comnli'ta was the upheaval that our scil system was utterly overthrown, and so thorough was the dionUr aud chaos, that order aud confidence have not alter several yiars cfutiilo aud turmoil becu rtstrcd. Nor have we yet b.en able to lav the foundation of society once again broad and deep iu the immutable pi ma ples ol law and order ; but us il ouvulsed by an earthquake, we are prone rather to B tik into despondency ai d glm in. than with the provcrbial.skill lid inergy of our nee, rise to the height ol the situ&liao and with a master hand carve lor ourselves a new d isiiuy, out ot the ruins of the bitter past. The cause of tb:s state el things is certainly not due to a want ol energy, skill r industry on the part of our people who have thown mere courage, constancy and perseverance iu battlisg with adveise circumstances. Tney have been counselled to originate mams to cany on their pcatelul pursui s in a great in iny lus.auces without m nicy, niihmi' ctedit, und I might add niihout organised labor. And amid privations and hard ships that were ca'cuiaiel to appall a people who liom t e loundu'ion of the gnvcrnmcut hud been the lavoed chi dren of Inrtunr. The Itui's if industry have nt as yt swecii-nud their labnr, i or has ther litoined up amid their hard experience and heroic iflorts a single hope, a ray ul light, to biighten and" Inter their future. Is it not pla'nly deducible Irom what has already brei stated that there is In the plan under which we hnva lis. n oper ating soinn inherent detect some latent cn i-e? May It not be that while as in dividuals we have s' niggled with a manly courage but as an nrgani. itiou as sn agiiculturnl people tse luve lailed to do our duty, and have nt'.cmptrd what is I in practicable a b hoot a concert ot actlun and a ll.vd purpose. The ddli lulnet we Inboi uinb r, the disasters we auller, are not in dividual but social. They lelalo to the community and can only be rendered by an intelligent appreciation and a united i lb 1 1 1 lor the public i;ood. The labor question truly is a li-vrtk neye I "lie, but st.ll the great question that 'lo in, m Is our lust consideration. Without organ z d labor thete ceitaiiily can be no ugricu tuial success. The only labor at our disposal is the emancipated slave, who we ail know or agree is by lar the most illicicil, and I m i ; li t pay the mnsl iiliab if, and being lamiliiir with uur wan a ptolucls. and modes "I agricul ture, is by Inr better suited to our climate than any other. This labor his been wivked as you well know upon various plans, bill none of tliein have proved very S'ltislscloiy. Has capital lost its power to control labor O', does the want of a proper kiiulcde to di'ect tlrs labor make it present this anomaly? In some poiiions ol the So tth it seems that tlrs labor is wotked with more energy and sure, h than in our inimediitu section And I desire to call your especial httui ti.ni lo the lad iu the hope that in your driiherations an discussions yon may Und out the cause aud apply tho remedy, Il is your duty uho, gentlemen, to repoit the rcsuU lo the pilolic of suc'l ex petinn nts as you may try, un l th ' elore every pu c nition agaiu t (bceptioU and ft slid should be taken, and strictly pro tided against.
