One .of the' great agents' in solving the itidnstvial problem of the ago, is the.' ap plication" of steam to the mechanic arts, ahl. to the removal of-the barriers to .the progress, of commerce. The mighty revo lution etl'ected by,. the use oi steam, for a -time,, alarmed political economists with the fear. , that such an, augmentation of tlie pt.wers of labor, would leave millions unemployed, or by rendering them una-bh- to com jiete with that skill which em ployed the elements, instead of human h.Mnh. h-ave them to starve. lut exper ience has proven the groundlessness of j - these ap prehensions.

In our own five country, they hud the proper theatre- for their full development ; here thev.iind ample scope and verge for their operation: and here they are soonest des tined' to yield their ripest fruits. There is something in tlie very atmosphere of freedom, that braces the human nerves for a 'conflict with the elements and-the consciousness of political equality stimu lates ' cert i us to its grandest efforts. Em- " penSrsT and 'Kings.' aud Popes. Princici palities and Powers Thrones and Domin ions, are true to their, hereditary and de spotic instincts, true to the warning in struct ion of a sound philosophy ; when thev look with .distrust and misgiving, 'upon the progress of science-and the ue- - fid arts, which teach mail the dignity of ' his nature upon the efforts of genius, which ia-nores.all social caste and politi cal iuepialitv upm the victory of mind over tlie material wavld. which tells theni, thislis a conquest more difficult, than the breaking of sceptres or the overthrow- of 'thrones." There is something in the verv sight calculated to Warm up the fever of tlie Idood, to whet the edge of the nerves, to awaken man to the dignity of his na tnre, .and the high destiny of Ids mission as he looks at the steani-eugine. snorting ! over the land, or the steamer bellowing over. the waves. Ivjis progress person i iicil, it suggests disregard f r the old -landmarks of opinion, it gives the impulse to m"V),' id. ; When Luther sounded the . tosein of the Reformation in the streets of AVittenburg. its echoes waked the slum bers of ignorance and superstition through out thediristianworld ; when the Bastile fell in '.if jarred tlie social fabric of Christendom ; but the whistle of the steam engine speaks to priestcraft and despotism in a voice more full of warning, than all the blood shed during the 00 years war, or all the victims sacritieed to the Demon of taction, during the French Revolution. As a free people", blessed with free institu tions, whose " manifest destiny," I be lieve it is, to subdue a continent, carry civilization, liberty, law, and the Protest- ant religion to the Pacific, -to the isles of the sea, to the shores of Japan and Chi na, across the plains of Asia, and thus perform the circuit" of the globe it is a : part of our high mission to honor, encour age !and promote the application of geni us to, and the economising of labor in, the useful arts; as a great agent in civilizing the world, in disseminating the blessings of freedom, and in propagating the doc trines of a pure christian faith.. I have said that the means of intelli gence were within our reach intelligence to enahle us to avoid the errors of the? past, and to avail ourselves of the improve ments of the present and the future. An agricultural journal, devoted to tho. eluci dation of general principles, and their ap plication to our peculiar position, is indis pensihieto every practical farmer. Such a paper - we have in our State, (" The Farmer's Journal ") a journal gotten up and sustained in the outset, as I well know, with great labor and expense ; and even now, not supported as it should be. This paper is a North Carolina paper, it originated in Nortn Carolina enterprise is devoted to North Carolina interests, and must rely on North Carolina pride for sup port. It would be a reproach to our State and our association, to allow it to fail. It is with due defence, then, that I would beg leave to appeal to the pride and public spirit of our association, and of our peo ple here assembled, to sustain and support it. Even now, in its infancy, it compares favorabh- with the best Southern agricul tural journals ; but by increased patron age we shall strengthen and stimulate its conductors to make it a still more useful vehicle of information a journal of which every North Carolina tanner shall feel proud. . When we look abroad, and take a sur vey of the industrial enterprise of the world ; its influence upon the destiny of our race ; and the prospects and promises held out by the future we have cause, not only to be proud of our country, but to thank Heaven, that we can lay claim to a title no less to be prized, than was that .of the Roman, in the palmiest days of his country's glory, that of American citizen. We have a country extending over 24 de grees of latitude, and 54 degrees of longi tude suited to the cultivation of almost everv product known to agricultural wealth ; with a commercial marine, second to that of Great Britain alone, and prom ising soon to exceed that; with manufac tures in ail the useful arts equal to those of any country, and making rapid progress in the ornamental also; with a literature, which, for a nation in its infancy, is un surpassed, and which is extorting the re luctant tribute of admiration from the. most rigid cities of Europe ; with moun tains and rivers, and lakes and prairies, whose vastness and grandeur excite feel ings of sublimity and poetic awe ; with the language of Shakspeare, and Milton and Bacon; with the law of Coke and Mansfield, and Blackstone ; with the re ligion 'of Luther, and Crammer, and Whit field, and Wesley ; with arms not only hallowed by the blood of revolutionary martyrs, hut illustrated since, by the glo ries of a Perry and McDonough on the water, and of a Scott, a Jackson and a Taylor on the land 6ituated in the great high-way between Europe and Eastern Asia the seat of those vast stores of commercial wealth, which for centuries it has been the object of commerce to reach by the shortest route is it a dream of lancy to'suppose, that in the designs of Providence, we are the destined agent for civilizing the world ? To come nearer home, as North Caro- linans, we have no cause to feel ashamed, but rather to feel proud of the position we occupy, in the great drama now be ing enacted on the theatre of christian civilization. So far as the past is con- deemed, in patriotic sacrifice, in 'devotion to our free institutions, in conservative rega d for law and order, in veneration tor the Union of the States, and in the cul tivation of the private virtues that adorn and dignify human nature all is secure. Our past history may not have been so much emblazoned by the imposing and the grand ; but in. every thing that implies a heroic devotion to the useful, the true, and the good, there is no community on earth that can afore, safely defy the im pression of history's pen. In all the re sources of industrial enterprize and wealth, whether agricultural, mechanical or com mercial, I hazard nothing in saying, that there is ho territory of similar extent in this broad Union, possessing superior ad vantages. Situated midway between the hilling frosts of the North and the scorch ing heat of the South, we are in a g eat measure free from the disadvantages of either ;. whilst our temperate climate en ables us to avail ourse.ves of what is most profitable in both. For the great staple of Indian corn, every portion of our State is peculiarly adapted. For the staple of to bacco there is a tier of counties on our Northern border, which grow tobacco as profitably, and of as fine quality, as any portion of the United Stated Our mid land and Southern counties produce cot ton abundantly, and as a remenative crop. 1500 pounds per acre is a common yield, not only in. Edgecombe, but in Hertford. Wheat has long been successfully grown in almost every portion of the State and the improvements now going on in the renovation of our lands, premise to soon 1nake our State one of the finest wheat giowing regions of the Union. Rice is a great staple in some of our Southeastern counties and there are thousands of acres of our Eastern jswamps, now await ing the hand of industry to convert them from stagnant wastes, into waving rice fields. Rye and oats, and peas and beans find in North Carolina a soil and climate particularly adapted to their growth, There is not a finer country in the same latitude for the production of hay, and Consequently for the rearing of fine stock, than the vast Peidmont region, extending from Raleigh west to the Blue Ridge. The census returns show that flax is pro duced in North Carolina, to an extent I had not supposed whilst our fertile mountain -slopes, under a temperate sky, offer to the sheep raiser and wool-pro. ducer advantages no where exceeded in the world. The pea-nut crop, trivial as it may appear to some is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars ; showing that the barren wastes of sand in our South east ern counties, contain vast resources of wealth, awaiting only the hand of labor fpr their development. The resources of our forests are almost incalculable and they are peculiar to North Carolina. The naval stores, and ship timber, and sawed lumber of our pine forests, the staves of our oak forests., and the shingles of our cypress and juniper swamps, give employ ment to tens of thousands of laborers and their fertile soil is only awaiting the j hand of the farmer, to be converted into I luxuriant fielis, as soon as the huge for- ' est growth is removed. Our mineral re sources far' exceed those of any other State of the Union, except California. Our gold mines are not worked by roving adventurers in search of alluvial dust but by iiivestedcapital, paying good wages to the laborer, and realizing good dividends to the capitalist. Our coalmines have passed through the ordeal of scientific scrutiny their wealth is incalculable, and they only await the completion of those improvements neces sary for their transit to market, to pour their rich treasures into the great store house of North Carolina wealth. Out copper mines equal in richness those of Wisconsin, and it is no uncommon sight the streets of Raleigh, a to see the miners ol Cornwall winding thei: way to their caverns. The bowels of our mountains teem with the linest iron ore in the world endless in quantity, tough and malleable as that of Sweden, in quality. Our manu facturing facilities are not exceededby those of any country on earth. All our rivers and their tributaries have -the finest water power, that ever tumbled over cas cade, or leapt down mountain-side and that too in regions blessed with health and in fine air with the richest ore at hand and a fertile soil contiguous to supply the wants, and furnish the means of subsis tence, to a manufacturing population. An examination of the last census sta tistics, in reference to agricultural pro ducts, will exhibit results, astonishing to our own peopie, in regard to our resour ces, and productive industry. I have taken the trouble to prepare a comparative table of the agricultural products of North Carolina, and those of Virginia and South Carolina the two States contiguous, on our Northern and Southern border whose witlings and up-siarts have been in the habit of jeering us with our poverty and ignorance, even since the days of the revolution. I find the aggregate popula tion of the three States to be as follows : Virginia, - - - 1.421,061 North Carolina, - - 869,039 South Carolina, - - 663,507 Thus showing that the population of Vir ginia is nearly" double, and that of South Carolina about three-fourth that of North Carolina. Id" the great staple of cotton, 'tis true South Carolina far exceeds us, her production being 300,000 bales ; but not as much as we do Virginia our product being 73,000 bales, and Virginia 3,000. In tobacco, Virginia greatly exceeds us, her product beijg 50,000.000 pounds ; but not as far as we exceed South Carolina ' our product being 11,000.000, and South Carolina 74.000 pounds. In wheat again Virginia is ahead of us, her product being 11,000,000 bushels but we are far in ad vance of South Carolina in proportion to population, our product being 2,000,000 and South Carolina 1,000.000 bushels. In Rice SoutlrCarolina excells us greatly she producing 159000,000 pounds, and N. Carolina producing 5.000,000 pounds. Virginia produces scarcely any. In but ter and hay, and oats, Virginia exceeds us but little, whilst we far surpass South Carolina. In Flax and Wool our com parative product is about equal to Virgi nia, and far in ad vance of South Carolina. In Indian Corn, peas and beans, we great ly excel Virginia, and immeasurably sur pass South Carolina. But taking all these agricultural products together, in all 'these States, and we find that whilst in 'propor tion to population, we are nearly equal to Virginia, we are far ahead of South Caro lina. And taking the aggregate products of the three, our comparaliveportion is in advance of either of them. This is no mere gasconade figures prove it to be true. ' xnd then let it be recollected, that in taking the census, no account was taken of our naval stores, our lumber and ship timber, our staves and shingles, and mines and fisheries,, all of which constitute a " s x ? ? a 6 .

Add these, and the annual product of the industrial wealth of North Carolina far exceeds that of either Virginia or South Carolina ; with all the tobacco and heat, the great staples of the farmer, and the cotton and rice, the great staples of the latter. But I have not done yet. The same census returns show, that while the annual value of the homemade manufactures in North Carolina amount to 82,080.522 those of Virginia are 82,150,312, and those of South Carolina $902,525 showing that North Carolina in proportion to popu lation, is far ahead of either. The census tables exhibit an equally flattering picture in regard to our provision lor the intellec tual and moral culture of our people. Whilst in North Carolina we have 1,795 churches, with church accommodations for 572,924 people ;in Virginia.with nearly twice our population, they have but 2,383 churches with accommodations for but 856,435, and in South Carolina, 1,182 churches and accommodations for 460450. Then in regard to education : in North Carolina there are 100,008 children at school, in Virginia there are 109,'J75, and in Soutli Carolina 40,373. It thus appears that in respect to the provisions for both intellectual and religious instruction, North Carolina is far ahead of each of these States. And yet notwithstanding all this, look at the report from the Treasury Depart ment, "on Commerce and Navigation," for 1850, the very year the census was taken, and you find that in the exports to foreign countries, Virginia is set down at, Virginia 8 3,087,444 North Carolina - - - -. 426,748 South Carolina, - - - 15,316.578 This is the only criterion by which .those unacquainted with the resources, judge of the comparative wealth of the three States. But let it be recollected, that all the North Carolina tobacco ex ported, seeks an outlet through Richmond, Petersburg and Lynchburg, and thus pas ses as Virginia produce. The same is the case with a large portion of our flour, wheat and Indian corn. Our 73,000 bales of Cotton, and at this time it is more than double that amount, seeks a market through Petersburg and Norfolk on the North, and Cheraw, Camden and Colum bia on the South, and thus goes to swell the amount of South Carolina exports. Besides, a large portion of the cotton ex ported from South Carolina is raised in Georgia. This report on Commerce and Navigation relates only la foreign exports and has no reference to our coast-wise trade. This beggarly account of the for eign exports of North Carolina is to be accounted for from the fact, that owing to our peculiar geographical position, and the want of good harbors on our coast ; our products find an outlet through the ports of other States or are shipped coast wise in small craft, that can pass over our shallow bars. As a proof of this, the same document exhibits the comparative ton nage of the three States, as follows 7 Virginia, North Carolina, . South Carolina, 68,793 Tons. 43,780 " 35,187 " showing that in proportion to population, North Carolina exceeds Virginia greatly, and is nearly equal to South Carolina. It is thus apparent, that these two States have grown rich, and acquired character, upon our bounty ; we have helped to huild up their towns, and to sustain their works of improvement in draining us of our re sources ; whilst they have derided us for our poverty, and repioached us for the docility with which we have submitted to our wrongs. But, thank Heaven, a brighter day is dawning upon us. We have only to know our strength, to make us stand up for our rights; to appreciate our worth, in order to develope our re sources, and to respect ourselves. All we need is a more perfect bond of union, a more thorough concentration of our ener gies. A perfection of our system of im provements will tend to bind us together, by the ties of interest and affection. By fostering our trade and commerce, within our borders, we shall build up cities and thriving towns, as nurseries of industry, enterprize, intellect, and ambition. By improving the soil and adding to the com forts and beauties of our homesteads, we shall teach our children to love the homes of their birth, and to venerate their father-land. By-educating them at home, -we shall teach them to reverence the institu tions of the State, to guard her honor, to elevate her character, and protect her rights. I hope I indulge in no idle dream, when I think I foresee, that this association, of which it is my pride and boast, to have been one of the original founders, is des tined to be the means of desseminating intelligence, stimulating enterprise,encour aging ambition, diffusing the blessings of comfort, happiness and prosperity, and in elevating the character and glory of ur beloved State the fruits of which shall be reaped by others, after we shall be no more. We may not live to enjoy the full fruition of our labors ; although our names may never be emblazoned on the historic page; or our deeds be commemorated on "storied urn, or animated bust;" yet we shall have laid the foundation for a great social, moral, and industrial edifice, for which our children and our children's chil dren will heap blessings on our memories till they shall have laid the cap-stone of the supei structure. On an occasion like this, it should not be forgotten, that it is to the benificnce of a kind. Providence we are indebted, for every blessing we enjoy. To His goodness we owe the plentiful harvest that has dur ing the present year, crowned the labors of the husbandman and the pleasant in tercourse and joyous harmony that mark our present re-union. Whether prosperi ty or adversity befalus, we should reflect, that it is to His bounty we are indebted, for " every god and perfect gift." Wheth er success crown our efforts or disappoint ment mar our hopes, we should ever be ready to say in the sublime language of Habakuk, "although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines ; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls :- Yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."
