On the other hand. men of my State have gone down South. and with their wealth and energy they are now developing large portions of the Southern States. and if left alone. if protected by the laws of those States. they will develop them and make them rich and boundless in their prosperity. Sir. the wealth. the prosperity of the South today. of which they boast and in which I take pride. is the result of the incorporation into their midst of some of the energy and strength and free ideas and free notions of the North. At first they did not welcome the emigrants from the North. this increase of capital. this importation of energy to their faded system of slave domination. but now they do. and I believe the time is not iar distant when every Southern State. feeling the force and vital energy that have been grafted upon their system. will take pride in this development of their resources. But. sir. there is no feeling of unkindness in this matter. It is only an open door for their energy.
