Levy taxes for the maintenance of schools. the building of bridges. courthouses. and all the appliances and protection of a wellordered government. and the people will take good care that their judgment goes along with their money. It is a grace of this kind that the South needs. If it should be seized with the enterprise to create schools. build good roads. and generally to bring together what the Northern people are accustomed to and which they will not be without. it would divert largely the stream of emigration which flows so full to the West and which shuns the South like a plaguespot. The taxes in no Southern State. as I said. average half what they do in the Northern States. I leave out the cities.
