Mistakes About the South.

'Give me a blessinsr; for thou has---giv.cn
me a wm'h. land; give mo iil.so spring of
wutcr.1' -,-Judges, i 15. :-. '
: Caleb's 'daiighter had been married
to General Otbnieh and she had re
ceived from her father as a wedding
gift a frirm at the South in a sunshiny
and warm region. She asked the
further gift of some springs of water
near by so that her farm might be
properly irrigated, the water brought
down through tunnels and 'aqueducts.
Give me a blessing, for thou hast
given me a south land; give me also
springs of water."
This nation can say that God has
vLeu us a south land, and it is a mag
nificent reach of country ; but it espe
cially i.eeds to bo irrigated from the
ft-u'tains of divine, mercy, and. this
Lnation oufrht to offer the prayer most
devoutly. ' Give' us a blessing ; for
Thou '.a?t siven us a south land ; give
also springs of water."
To meet engagements in nine of the
Sc uihcn States, and to catch a glimpse
of the Southern springtime, and to see
i.-.-.v these region? are reeovorin j from
I ho. dso; itiolis of war, I started x -few
weeks ago southward, equipped with
my mind full pi -questions! and hungry
for information on' all social and polit
ical, moral and religous subjects.
Among other things, I had a grave in
Georgia to visit, the grave of my uncle
Rev. Dr. Samuel K. Talmage for
twenty years the presithnt of Ogel
thorpe Lfniversvty. After walking
' among the ruins of, that ' institution,
from which many men went forth to
bless the earth, which institution was
j' slain ! v ihc. '?r.r. I went to see his last
resting-place. lien the war .opened
hi heart broke, aud he lay down to
rest near the scene of his eminent
usefulness, his grave covered with a.
I monument adorned by own name, and
- . ,; ..'
I me auggcsiive -ocnpiure passage.
'How Leautiful upon the roouutains
are tho f.-et of him that bringcth good
tidings, that publUheth peace." He
was oneoCthose contemporary "minis
ters of the South, who. after efioqnent
words for God, and earnest service
are resting from their labors: Dr.
James II. Thomwell- hia Liogr3hy
and Dr. Smythe, and Dr. Duncan.
and Dr. Pearce, and many others.
But mj mission was not with the
dead, but whh the hvio?, I went soath-
I -
ward with nc partisan predilection3.
I had no prejudices. I was resolved
on corning back to report what I saw,
whether it -might meet with general
favor or the Condemnation of on or
both section?. I bad no political re
cord to guard or look after, nince most
or my ministry ha been pawed ; since
the war closed. My admiration for
the Democratic and Republican parties
as mere parties is so small that it would
take McAllister's most powerful mag
nifying'glass to see anything!' A-
merican politics are rotten, and
that party 6teals lbs mott which
has tb triost chanca ! Al the
South all the doora of information
seemed to be open. I talked with
high and low. with Governors of States
and wster carriers, lawyers, clergymen
doctors, judc-i of -ourts. and I found
that there had been a persistent and
in gome cases, most outrageous mis
representation of the feeling at the
South by some correspondents of
some of our Northern secular and re
lious newspapers, aud by overbearing
and dishonest men who, going from
the North to tbe South, behaved there
in a way ;hat excited no friendliness. I
found out that if a man behaves well
at the South he will be treated well. -There
U noj more need of a severe
Governmental espionage In Charleston
and Atlanta! and Augusta than in New
York and .Brooklyn. The feeling at
the South to-day has been so misrep
resentad that I shall devoU this morn
i n's sermon to the correction of the
misapprehensions, and to th over
throw, so far as 1 may be able, of
i
some of tbe slanders.
The first misrepresentation in regard
to the South I wish to correct is that
the Southern people want to get back
and have reinstated nego s ry.
Why all the people are glad to get
rid of it. The planters told me that
t.hey could ciulture their land now at
less ex pen s
under the new system of
labor than under tne old. A planter
who bv r.
innd red and twenty slaves
war said that there was sd
lefore the
much care. necessary in looking after
?o many slaves, and in looking after
'the aged who could not work and help
less colored childhood, that there was
constant anxiet' and vast expense
and exhaustion..' Now they have aoth
ing to do but pay the wages when they
are due, and each family looks after
its own invalids and minors. Submit
to the ballo't-box of the Southern peo
ple to-day the' question, "Shall negro
slavery be
wards, and
reinstated?" and all tbe
all the cities, aqd all the
counties, and all the States would give
thundering negative. They fought
for the institution eighteen years ago,
but now they congratulate themselves
at the overthrow of the institution. God
be thanked that North and South at last
we have one sentiment on that subject
onrt tbnsM- I Xortherii noliticians 'who
keep the subject of American slavery
roll in s- onand rolling on are doing a
ihino as useless and innpt as it would
the Dorr rebellion of
Rhode Island, or Aaron Burr's attempt
at- the overthrow of the United States
i!nvrrmfti!t ft tpst for our fall elec-
Vw..,
tious. The whole subject of American
slavery is dead and damned. I said
to the planters : "How do these ran
work now inder the new. system?" and
''Tliev work veil; we
VI-'nvvw .
Iiave no trouble; there was a' good
deal of tro'il ;le just after war closed,
and a demoralization aud disorganiza
tion consequent upon a change of
things, but now . they work most ad
mirably, and they work far better than
tbe Northern men who come here, be
caus3 the c:matc seems better adapted
to the colored peole. who will on a
summer day, at their nooning, go out
and lie' dowr.-'.o enjoy the sun." My
friends, all! this talk about the dragging
of the rivers and the lakes of the South
to haul ashore negroes mardered and
flung in, while it may be believed by
many at the North. U a falsehood so
absurd it i hardly fit to mention in a
religious asaerablage. The white
people of the South feel their depen
dence on tlie dark people lor the cul
ture, of their lands ; the dark people
feel their
i oople for
uep.iiuonce on lue wniie
the payment of their wages.
From wbaa I'hav.J seen of the oppres-
. a
sion of female clrks in some ot tue
dryf oods Stored of the North.and from
r O j
what I have Been of the oppression ol
some young men at the North on small
salaries, which they must lake or get
nolbing at all, I lave come to the coa
tioo and sympathy for colored labor
at (he South to-daj than there are con-
sideration and sympathy for some of
the; employes in some of the dry-good '
stores on Fulton aveuue. Brooklyn:
Broadway New York; Washington
street, Boston, Chestnut street, Piiila-I
delphia. In all the land and in al
the earth there are tyrannical employ -j
crs. and their maltreatment of subor-f
dinates, white or bUck, deserves cx
ecration. But in the work of rcforraa
tioh let us begin at home.
Another impression in regard to the
SonththatI wish to correct is, that
they are antagonistic to hr.vir.g North
erners come down there and settle.--t-Tbe

course there is no more admiration a,t
the South for .-Northern fools and
Northern braggarts than there is here;.

If a moral man go South, and he ex-
ercises iust '.ordinary common sense,
lie will be welcome ; he will be at home
and coming fsoax Brooklyn he will bej
just as well treated as though he came
from Mobile. A Southern gentleman
(in tbe audience) nods his head, as.
much as to say. "That'3 so." I couldl
give maay illustrations. I give one.i

the patrons of orphan asylnm of which
ie was director, and a great throng of
die best citizens amid a wealth of floral
nd musical tribute that the Charleston
Courier describes as making an occa
sion almost unparalleld in the history
af private obsequies. Why, this side
of heaven there is not a more hospita
ale people than the people of the South
and I ; bring you from those States
which I bad the pleasure of visiting.
I bring you to-day an invitation tor
immmration that way. The South is
to rival the West as an opening field
I
for American enterprise.- Horace Gree
ley advice of ''Go West." is to have
its addenda in 'Go South." The first
avalanche of population that way will
make their fortunes. 4
It is a national absurdity that such
a large proportion of the cotton of the
South, at great expense, should bejs
sent North in order to be transferred
into useful fabrics. The few factories
at tbe South are the pioneers of innu
merable spindles which are soon to be
gin the hum of the. grand march on
the banks of tbe Savannah and the;
Appalachicola, and the TombigheeJ
There is Goorgia, with its 58,0001?
square miles : there Is A'aD&tns, with
its 50,722 square miles; there is South
Carolina, with its 31.000 square miles ;
these is North Carolina, with its 50.70 ll
Un per cent, of their resources- yet j
developed. N hea will our overcrowd- j
ed population in these Nor' hern cities
take the wings of tbe morning and fly : l
to those regions where they may hae j
roorutoturu around, and plenty of
place to.take a full breath and expand.
and; be masters of their own corn-fields,
their own rice swamps, their own; cot
ton plantations, their own ! lumber
forests? Laid to be bad there from
$1 to $20 an acre Travel frora ihere
to th;it region $15, If you are not too
particular about the way you- go.
Afraid of the heat? Why, the j ther
mometer in New York every j summer
rises to a higher point than in Georgia
or North Carolina, although in those
Stales the heat is more protracted.
Afratd of the fever f The death-rate
in Georgia j.ist eqnals the dsatb ratc j
in Michigan. The death rate in Geor-'Cta.;a-?cording
to the nnmber of the
po)julat.ion. is less than ' the death rate
in Connecticut and Maine. Goinr
either West or South you will probably'
have one acclimating attack. It will
only be a different stvle of shake !
There is no more need that England.
Ireland and Scotland want room or
want bread. I rejoice that there is
sucti avast population coming) from
foreign lands here 21.5G8 people ar
riving in New York last month, March,
to make their residence in this 'coun
try.: And, let me tell -you, many of
them the. very best people of Europe.
What do I mean by 'best? I mean in
dustrious and moral.' Five thousand

to carry them rfest ovei the Pennsyl

Chattanooga, that they may go South.
Vast opportunities opening. Stop
cursing the bo.iln. ana stop: lying
about the South, and go South arid test
thejcordiality of their welcome, and
their resources of mine and plantation
and forest. Why, my friends, that is
the way this national difficulty is to bo
settled. Tens of thousands ofjyoung
men from the North, moral young
men, intelligent )'oung men j from the
Aortu, are logo bojtu ana make tneir
essence there, and thay will! invite

posed for the division of a contested

'' . ' '.
Another wrong impression in re-
gard to the South that I want to cor -
reU is tliat that the people there are
antagonibtic to the United States Gov -
eminent. Those people submitted to
the settlement of the sword certain
questions, and now they are S'jbmis-
Hive to t!ie Jocision. There is 110 fight
in them. We talk-about the fire-eaters
of the South. If they eat fire, they
have a private platter of coals in a
private room, I sat at many of their
tables, ami I saw no such style of diet
Neither could I find a spoon ora fork
or a knife that seemed to have been
used iu eating fire. Why, s;rk, they
are the most placiJ people you ever
aaV. Some of them, their property
all gqne, at forty c r sixty years of age
starling life, with one arm aud one
foot and one eye. the missing mem-
hers sacrificed in battle. It is simply
miracul jus arid th wort of lb? Lord
Almighty that those people
amiable and as cheerul as t
are as
:ey are
and it is dastardly mean in us to keep
speaking 01 them as waspiah. and
acrid, and saturnine, and malevolent,
I have traveled as much as most peo -
pie have in this and other lands, and
I am yet to find a more affable, more
delicately syrapalhetis. more whole -
souled people than the people of the
South. The ieople of South are loyal
to day, and if a foreign foe should try,,
to set its foot on this country by way of
intimidation or conqest, I believe the
forces of McClellan -and Beauregard,
Bragg and Geary, Grant and Lee,
tduc and the gray, and the guns of
Forts Hamilton and Hckens and Sum.
ter wonld join in one great chorus of
thunder and flame. The Tact is that
irt this country we have had a big fam-
ly fight, and if a neighbor should come
in and, try to interfre. you know what
tho result would be. Husband and
wife in contest, the one with a cane,
and the other with a broomstick let
intermeddler come in and he jrcu
jail thejadvantae of both i cane and
broomstick ! 1 have sometimes thonsht
I
that the' 'North and South will never
uudcrstand eac' other until the ap
proach; of a common enemy makes
a common cause. God forbid that
that day should come. ' But if foreign
despotisms think there is in our Gov-
iernment.no cohesion, no centripetal
force, they have only to test it. In
stead of the thirteen orig'nal colonies,
we own from ocean to ocean ; but that
is no sign of Tack of governmental
;rip. Illy steam arid electricity the
i Government is under more speed arid
easy control now than it was at the
start.
At the: foundation of the Gov-
ernmeut it took an official document
two week9 to cross the country ; now
it takes two minutes. San ' Francisco
and Galveston'and Ies Moines are to
day nearer Washington than Rich
mond was then. There never has been
a day of more thorough consolidation
and unity than now. Would that the
people all appreciated it. You see the
whole impression of my Southern jour
ney was one of encouragement. The
great masses of the people are right.
If halfja dozen politicians at the North
and half a dozen politicians at the
South would only'consent to die, there
would be po more sectional acrimony.
Yon see it is a iriero. case for under
takers J If they will bury out or 6ight
these, few demagogues wc will pay all
the expense of catalque and epitaph
and of a brass ba.id to play the
-Rogue's March!) In time.p undor
God. t
lis will all be settled. The gen
eration that follows us will not share
in the antipathies and the bellicose
spirit of their ancestors, and they will
stand in amazement at the state of
things: which made the national ceme
teries at Murfrecsboro and Gettysburg
and. Richmond an awful possibility.
