NdBTHEtN Statesmen. It has been
often declared that no great measure
has ever been originated by Northern
statesmen, - Alexandria Hamilton, and
the illnstrious financier, Robert Morris,
are usually put forward in' answer to
this assertion.) But Alexandria Ham
ilton was! a native of the West Indies,
of Scotch descent, and Robert Morris
a native of Euglandj who came in ear
ly life to this country.
The American Revolution could
never - ba've ben achieved without
Southern; statesmen and soldiers, and
it was Southern counsels which guided
the government np to 18G0. What has
become of it 6ince, we all know. It
would be absnred to limit intellect to
decrees of latitude but it seems prettv
clear that the genius of the North does
not lie in statesmanship, Lynchburg
