INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

Address of Got. Wright, at Cauucltou. May 1st, 1841. I Finow Cm!: Shortly after the commencement f my present olficial duties in conversation with your enterprising and useful fellow-citizcn, Hamilton Simla, a promise was made oa my part to visit your city, to witness for myself the great advanige- you have in ibis part of the State for manutaclur.ng, to see the working of the spindle and loom in Indiana, to view the labor of the mechanic and manufacturer by the side of the husbandman. In pursuance of that promise, and the kind request of your fellew-citizens, I am present ta-tiay. at this time, to encourage the euterprtze so favorably commenced among you. I have thrown together a few thoughts, which have ccurred to me, in the hurry and excitement of other duties. If they shall bo calculated to induce others, who are more competent, to look into the great resources of our State, or tend to the developemeut of the same, or i in any way shall have a tendency to arouse our peopie to their true interests, to the encouragement of labor, to changing and diversifying more, their pursuits, I will have accomplished some good. We have in Indiana 7000 square miles of coal fields, In Fountain county, on Coal Creek, in boring lor salt, eoal seams have been lound ol tlie thickness 01 eieen feet. In other parts of the State they are found not so thick. One cubic yard of this coal is nearly a ton in weight. With a profit ol hut twenty-five cents Der ton, the amount that would be realized will almost defy calculation. Each square mile of this coal is sutfieieut to supply the amount of fuel annually consumed in the State. Coal not our only mineral ; we have salt and iron in abundance. I have myself witnessed, in the county of Fountain, the making of twenty-five bushels of the finest salt per dar, by the labor of two men and a horre pump, upon the old principle of boiling in kettles, as we make maple sugar. In Monroe coonty, and other portions of tue State, salt has been made in former years, in great abundance. The great salt wells of Kanawha are situated in precisely such sand stone formation, t it same geological deposits ol stone underneath the coal as we have in Indiana. There cannot be a doubt ln.t that we have any quantity of salt, all of which would be demonstrated'by a practical geologist, eivinsr him the time to make a full geological, t.-pograpical survey, and a miuute examination of tne State. There have been found, in various parts of the State specimens of lead, zinc, copper, aud the pure metal, gold. The deposites of sulphurate of iron are found along at State line, from the falls of the Ohio to the north- J west portion of the Si ate. It may be used lor obtaining our sulphur, or for producing sulphuric acid, copperas, or alum. With the necessary informatioc, many of ' our farmers have this article in such almndance on their farms, that they could produce all the copperas or alum they necJ, with less expense than the labor of riding ten miles to he countv village, to sav nothing of the cost of' the article. We have now more than half dnxen iron furnaces, in arious parts of tie State; these locations, selected at random, onr citizens ol limited capital nave gone to work. They are Idhoring under the most disadvantageous circumstances; in many instances shipping the pig metal to Cincinnati or Pittsburg, selling the same at a nominal price, wlii!J the profit is made by the capitalists who prepare the article for market in a finished state. We are, in fact, trusting these great elements of wealth to chance and individual enterprise, while onr sister Sta.es, by the aid of science, are dailv unldlding new and hitherto unknown elements of wealth. If an individual desires to locate a favorite builJing on a tract of land, or the Governmeht to found a lienevolent institution or a military arsenal, the scientific, experienced, and wiso men of tue land are consulted. Shall we not exercise as much judgment before the labor and capital of our country is invest -d? We have sent to the Eat map after map, by which we cxhiliit the location of our States, our railroads, canals, and the extent of our territory, the surplus of our farms, likewis t!ie speeches of onr srreat men. Upon these statements we have borrowed million upon millions for this or that enterprise, tha interest on which is a constant drain upon the country. It is now altoul the time that Indiana should send abroad a full and scientific report, with a map, if you please, by one known to th capitalists, in whom confidence can be reposed. Upon this plain map wc will exhibit the great elroMits of the wealtn of this country the depths of our coal seams the proper location for our iron furnaces the extent and value of our coal quarries the worth of our exhaust less quantities of timber, and the true character ot our soils. With this map we will go into the old world, not to ask tue tn for their money, but invite them to come with their capital and locate auvmg us. We will go anoaaj the Germans on the Rhine, aud show them that we have all the elemen: cvsntial to make their investments secure aud profit ililc. We need not go so far. We will with such a report, successfully invite thu capitalists of our own Eastern States to come and locate among us, a law-abiding and law-observing people, where we have not lime to ttnke for higher wages where mobs and riots are unknown, and where capital is secure. What will be our population and resources when wc shall fully develope these great elements of our wealth when we shall turn a portion of the energies of our people into these channels? Our rich soil will still continue to yield its annual increase, while the bowels of the earth will give up from her dark depths her riches, to multiply the comforts and prosperty of our people. Mike tne calculation, and ascertain the niinilicr of men that will find employment when the iron, t ie eoul, and salt will be called into active play. We shall soon be calied upon to furnish millions of !ushels of our coal, as good as any in the world, I r grinding the cane in the South. Already in many parts of the country, where the plantations have been been lonz under cultivation, the planters are loud in their complaints of the scarcity of wood. How many railroad cars and steamlwats would be supplied with our coal? How many cotton, woolen, bairgmg factories, steam mills, machine shops, &C? Add to this our central position in the Union, commanding with one arm the South, the other the North, with interests blended by geographical, geological and commercial affinities s'eam to be the element in our future prosperity, banded, as we shall be, by the iron rail combustion the incideut, and coal being the cheapest combustible material, who will dare predict the future location of tue Birmingham of America, out of Indiana. Much has been Accomplished in the last fifty years, but rho work is scarcely commenced. Previous to 1S00 no steamboat or railroad was in existence. Sixty-one years ago three bales of cotton were carried to Antwerp, and seized as not being what they were represented to be, so incredible was it that cotton should be exported from the New World. Now we export more than fifty millions annually. If we are not mistaken in the sirns of the times, we shall increase the manufacture of cotton goods, and thereby gradually diminish the quantity of the raw material exported. In the West we have ma le some advances in manufacturing. Not six years since the crushed su?ar then used was manufactured in Boston. We now have the very best duality made at the sic'ar rics of St. Louis and Cincinnati, which bids fair to any article brought into market. In our own State we are makins the very best engines for steam mills, &c. We are building and completing annually a greater number of superior steam boats than any State to tba Union, according to our population. Some 2000 men find employment in this branch of business, with a capital of more than $1 ,000.000. The prineipal part of this branch of industry is in New Albany and JetTcrsonville. We shall soon be able to increase largely in this bnsiness, by the facilities with which wo can use our coal, iron, and immense forests of timber. We can build, on this noble river, steam ships, so much in demand, twenty per cent, cheaper than they can in New York, owing to the difference in the cost of material. We have bagging factories in operation, running from 30 to 40 looms, paper mills, plow factories, car. boiler, and lathe manufactories, machine shops, he., &-, and in the capital of the State, the labor of some twenty men is employed in making tbe common maple sugar tree Df our lorexts con'ribute to the wealth ef t ie country, most saecssfully, in making the peg and the laut. There is a great field yet to be occupied by the laborlag men of this country. Tbe young men of tbe Mississippi valley have a great work betöre them. Witness the improvements of the day in manufactures and agriculture. Book after book is to be found in our libraries, which mut ne read and studied. The experiment of tbe day are showing conclusively the adaptation of flax lo cottoo machinery the making of a superior articlo of cloth called felt cloth, without spinnin; or weaving the improvements tbat are making in every kind of machinery by which labor is save. I tho application of steam to almost every purpose in life. Our valley is emphatically the greatest wool growing eoantry on tbe face or the earth. Why shall we not uaafacture the wool at home ? Have we not the mo. tire power, cheap fond, the labor, nearness to the market, demand for the fabric ? I am assnred by a gentleman who is now engaged in man ifactorinz in tbe East with a company tbat annually uses 3,000,000 lbs. of wool, that the county of Brown, in our State, which is broken and bilk, is susceptible of annually producing the amount needed by this establishment. This fact has been ascertained by an examination made by the gentleman himself. We have bot to will oa this subject to be obeyed. Can there be nn v good reason assigned why the wool of the Wt fhil! be annoally exports East, and brought to as tn otaawets, snawis, ana merinos r is mere any argu to kssstead -way the eatton bale shoal J daily pass up

your beautiful river, to come buck to us in fhoetiogs, shirtings, Sic. ? Will any man affirm that it is expedient and sound policy to have the rooms of our merchants filled with hats,' buckles, axes and handles, scythes and ; sneads. hoes and handles, rakes and handles, brooms and ! bandies, and almost everv artice. even the borse-shoe I

nail, the productions of other States ? A stranger would almost come to the conclusion that we had no timber in Indiana, when he witnesses tne very cloches-pins and . - . t a a - I wash boards, in use, manufactured abroad, and sold by the retail merchant. The very knots of the walnut of our forests is shipped East, and by the aid of eastern mechanic, is returned and sold to us at a thousand per cent, advance. Not a very a great advance upon the wisdom of our forefathers, when a century or more ago i they shipped wood to the old world to hum brick, and then shipped brick in retnn to build their houses. But when we turn to agriculture, the great element of our wealth, what a book is before us! We are an agricultural people; our climate, soil, and situation make us so. The science of agriculture, that of teaching men tt labor to improve. Our great agricultural interest is yet in its inlancy. Important questions are daily presented tn lue busbandman. Work after work has been written , upon agriculture, on the cultivation ol tne soil, upon !SHeep, horses, cattle, kc. The working mind of our j country must settle from time to time, the articles that j are suitable for our soil and climate what will yield the j most :n wnat rr anner shall we cultivate our soils the ,jze Qf our farm what grains how often changed to j what shall our labor be directed how can we best improve our soils what plants are the most nutritious for j the support of animal life the improvement of our domestic animals the quantity, quality, and preparation ; of thei- food, 8tc. After we have examined these, with other questions, we shall find that the road to success i will mainly depend upon experiment and observation. I When we have looked into these things, we have scarceJ ly commenced the work before us. Wc must elevate tbe j calling of the working man. We can make labor more attractive. If we eive five hi.-.dred dollars for the best ' plan of a public lniildinr, which we are alout to erect, ' we can urelv rivo as much for the lest cultivated larm i in the State, or a like sum to the manufacturer or me chanic who will make the most substantial piece of cloth or the liest model of mechanism. It is said that when the early Romans praised a good man, they called him an agriculturist, and a good husbandman, and that, on a certain occasion. w-ien a distinguished citizen of Rome i was visited by a foreign Ambassador, he was fonnd cooking bis repast of vegetables, raised by his own hand, from a seven acre Tarm. IT our dinners were cai lea upon under similar circumstances, they would be found, in a great many instances, not cultivating seven acres, lnt seventy times seven. We cultivate too much, and not well enough, what we do. If the representatives of the people are providing by law for the establishment of schools of learning, at the some time require them to establish agricultural schools, in connection with experimental farming. Why not have chairs and professors of agriculture? Why not teach in every school room ngriculturc? Why not teach it: every school room agricultural chemistry animal and vegetable physiology. I will rejoice when the day shall arrive that in all our institutions of learning there shall be taught a system of manual labor; when all who seek instruction shall be compelled to work certain hours in each day ; when we shall have associated with the improvement of the intellect a practical knowledge of ag. riculture, mechanics, arts, chemistry, botany, geology, and a I those sciences tbat are so intimately connected with the improvement of the soil, and the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Teach your children to know tbe character of the soil and its adaptation to the production of each article raised for man or beast teach him to know the proper place tor each article on bis farmteach him to know how to build a comfortable house, with all tbe conveniences of life, as well as to know how toenjoy himself when he is thus situated teach him something of the beauty of nnture, as it is exhibited, and the wondertul process that is going on each day around him and above all leach him to regard his obligations to bis fellow-man with scrupulous fidelity. It has been well said, that it is not the occupation thai men follow that makes the man. It is the man tbat gives dignity to the occupation. Man i a higher name i than President, King, or Bishop. Every man carries within himself a rich casket of jewels. Our fell' .w-citi-zens who arc cut off from society, in this extensive government, surrounded bv the wants of a growing family, pressed by t lie cares and responsibilities of life, can see a truth, detect vice, and fully appreciate virtue, as well as he who moves in the circles of a crowded city and fashionable life. There is a custom prevailing, to some extent, which is mentioned with no viw of exciting any portion of my audience, that should be corrected. I allude to tne promptness v it h which a great majority of our fellowcitizens make their settlements and payments to merchants ami banks, whilst, in too many instances, the mechanic's bill is delayed, or paid off by trade and produce. I know no reason why there should be more davs of grace on a mechanic's bill than on a bank bill. I lived lor a ntnulier of years by an industrious blacksmith : early and late bis anvil and bellows were going. His calling was tbe most laltorious. that of horse-shoeing, V;:iinng plows, kc. He had a large family dependent upon his labor ; and I could but notice tbat the very best men in the vill.ige aud neighborhood would, as regularly as New Year came around, go to the merchant, and, il not able to pay tie year's bill, give their note, with interest, waiving appiaisemcut and valuation laws all right enongb but they never seemed to think that their duty required them to do likewise with the blacksmith, and if anything was said about White, the blacksmith's bill, the common remark was. 'Oh, I can pay White hereafter in some wood, coin, &c. This is all wrong; men act so from no desire to injure the mechanic, but from a false notion of duty, and of their obligations to the laboring man. It is very remarkable how lightly we pass by the great elements of our wealth, when we arc excited on anv subject with what zeal and energy wc press forward any project in which we are enlisted. It docs seem that wc would almost refuse to gather up by tbe wayside, the iron rail, if it was not of the proper size and shape, to answer onr purpose, rather than to stop and reflect dispassionately upon what is to be the result, and consequences of our conduct. In digging upon one of the railroads of the State, not long since, there was discovered a very lich deposit of the genuine bog iron ore an immense deposit, sufficient in all human probability to lay the tracks of as many railroads as Indiana ought to build in twenty years. You would naturally suppose that measures were immcivly taken to induce capitalists to engage in the manufacture of iron that reports were made to the Legislature, announcing this valuable discovery. Nay nay. It seemed to quicken the speed of the railroad mania in a different direction. It only served to hasten the managers to tbe halls of legislation, to ask for more county corporation stock, nnd to modestly ask the wisdom of the State, to give th m thu right to sell their bonds in Wall street, to the broker who would shave them the most. Certainly so fair a request as this was not refused. Is it not passing strange that our Representatives should neglect from time to time, to expend a few thousand dollars, for the purpose of exploring the iron and coal mountains, with which we are this day surrounds1, and at tbe same time authorize in the most solemn manner the offering of our credit in maiket, without limit or restriction, for the express nnd avowed purpose of bor rowing minions, wnn which to tmy the very article we have in our midst ? Who doubts the fact that we have all the elements within our borders, with which to girt our State with iron roil the lalxr, materials, and surplus food? Yst legislation is altogether directed in another channel. And, if possible is it not still more remarkable, that the people's representatives, should expend fifteen tnousand dollars, for the labors of a stenographer, and the printing of a few volumes of debates, which will not be read perhaps by one man to tbe county, and at the same lime refuse to expend five hundred dollars for a Bumau of Statistics, by which we might annually learn, through 1 oor own officers, tbe entire resources of our State? I speak, as one citizen ef Indiana, tbat I am opposed I to tne estMilisliment oi Departments Interior or txterior, Burcats of Agriculture, or what not, at Washington. The establishment of every new department by the General Government, is the swallowing up of so much of State rights. Why should we be continually looking to the capital of the nation for information as to our wealth, resources and means? They have no information, or money, at Washington, tbat does not come from the people of the States. f It we desire economy and prudence in the management of our public expenditures, we should nerer never, loose sight of the principle of keeping the ballot-box and the taxing power, side by side. The farther they are separated, the more extravagance the nearer to; gether, tbe more economy If we wish an i I last rat ion of this principle, we have it in oar own State. Look at the public expression on the subject of the expenditure of the fifteen thousand dollars referred tn. yet there is five times this amount expended annually by the General Government for the publication of the' Fatent Office Report, that not one man in five hundred ever sees. N t a word is said about this expenditure. It is paid by the people, but it is so far separated from tbe ballot box, that it is almost lost sight of. We are too prone to look abroad for our wealth, resources, and means. Where are ihe elements of oar wealth? I answer, in these mountains of iron and eoal oar rich valleys and prairies and the labor of our mechanics and farmers. Let os have a repott call it Indiana's report, Iry which wo will annually know, by oar own officers, the great asrienltnral, manufacturing, and other industrial products of the 'M. A Bnrean of Statistics ean be engrafted upon i ne office of Secretary of State, and the proper blanits prepared and transmitted thence to tbe ' coonty aasesscrs, or fcnj other ecotrtr i to bo by

them tilled, a prescribed by law. and returned to the central office, to he compiled for the information of the people of the State. Thus could he ascertained the number of acres of land under cultivation ; the quantity of cereal grain, and other crops produced; the number of horses, cattle, boss, sheep, etc. ; the number of raill

and manufactories, the amount of capital and value of machinery employed ther;en; and the aggregate annua - I I . L i products, especially in breadstutfs; statistics ol tbe more important branches of mechanical labor, of tbe extent and progress of railroads, plank roads, canals, &c; with their cost and income per mile. Tjere is no question, that the laboring men of tbs country have more interest in, than tbe one of indebtedness. They have a right to know and should be thoroughly advised of the amount of debts created by tbe State, counties, or corporations, the amount of discount upon every million borrowed for this or that enterprise, and the rate of interest. It is equally as important that this information should be known by our people, as it is to be advised of tue expenses of our government. It is said by a distinguished writer, that seven-tenths of the British people are in the constant practice of anticipating their income. This habit of incurring large debts, which is at war always, with true independence of character and happiness, we have borrowed from that peo' le, and unless we stop this career of folly, mad ness and unwise legislation, we shall place our government and people in the same situation. It is estimated by those who have examined the subject, that the debts j now contracting and called for, within tbe States of In diana and Illinois will amount to forty millions. And that the amount in the eight States of Georgia, Virginia. Missouri, Illinois. Indiana, Michigan. Ohio, and Pennsylvania, will exceed the sum of one hundred millions. What is' to be the effect of this mama of running in debt by millions, though it is caused by counties, cities, or corporations? Who will sutler when the crisis comes? Not the speculator and capitalist. It will be the laboring population. In all expansions of credit, when the tide runs high, the price of labor is the last to go up. but when the crash comes, the very first to fall. Speculators are not very fond of uniformity in business. They want commotions, expansions, and complexity. The interest of the lalniring man is alone consulted, by a regular and uniform system, without the ups and downs incident to the extension of credit, whether it be created by the government, counties, or corporations. Having resided in Indiana, for more than a third of a century, during which time I have mingled much with my fellow-citizens in various pursuits of life, I have long since come to the conclusion, from our geographical position, the character of our soil, the elements of wealth, we hav in our midst, that we should change and diversify onr pursuits. From the best data, I have been able to obtain, we are annually expending abroad near nine millions of dollars. Tho interest upon our State debt, $ 325.000 00 Interest upon our railroad bonds, corporation stock and bank bonds, Total amount of goods, wares, merchandise, and groceries, purchased out of the State estimated at Of this sum. our proportion of the expenses of th I National Government estimated at forty millions, we pay at least two millions, 500,000 00 8,000,000 00 $S, 825 .000 00 Here is near nine millions, paid abroad by the people of Indiana. Nine dollars out of everv ten of this money is paid by the productions of our soil. This amount is continually increasing, and our farms gradually iiiijwveriliing. We are in fact, pushing our rich soil, without the necessary infotmation and system, not husbanding our resources, but meeting this large amount by a regular drain upon our fields, prairies, and plains. This must be changed if we would preserve onr credit , and continue n prosperous and happy people. We must purchase less abroad, make more at home, cultivate our soil with a view to sustain and improve it, change a portion of our labor, antl diversify more our pursuits. It is true that of the eight millions purchased by our people abroad, more than two-thirds of the amount is the labor nnd productions of our sister States, for whi h we pay nothing towards the support of the General Government, but the profit on which, goes alone to tbe States where the articles arc manufactured or made. In these articles alone, we have it in power to gradually reduce the amount purchased every year, to increase in the making and manufacturing the same, until we shall be able tn sell abroad, anil thereby meet a portion of the demands against ns. nnd reduce tlie drain upon our soil. It wvnihl be far wiser and better, to look more at home and less abroad. By thus diversifying our pursuits, the producer exchanging bis commodities, at bis door, with the mechanic and manufacturer, placing them side by side, we will not only develop our resources, but we will reward labor, make it more attractive, and carrv out the principle, so earnestly recommended by Mr. Jellerson. But it is said that we cannot engage in manufacturiifü and be sustained, without special legislation ; that we cannot compete with those abroad. We can surely sustain ourselves with our sister States our advantages are at least ecpnl, and I think great Iv uperior to the most of them. A very large proportion of the articles used by us, arc the labor and skill of those of other States. The idea of incorporating npon our institutions the principle, that wc have not the lalor, skill and materials, to compete with oilier nations that we must have special and exclusive legislation to sustain this or that business, is radically vrong. We can exhibit what no other nation on the face of the globe can; the iron forge, tho sugar-house, the cotton, gin; consequently every variety of climate and soil, as brave and hardy a people, as the sun of Heaven ever shone on, and if cut oil' from every other nation, we have, within ourselves, all the elements of perfect hidepenuence. No business combining labor and capital, should depend for its success, upon the lavors o government. Tbe great interests of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, rhould be left free unJcr equal laws, and not one interest promoted at the expense of the other. But we have a right to demand of those who serve us, that, in making laws, the entire iegislation of the country shall not be direc ted to capital, but something shall be done to encourage laltor. We have a right to insist that the scientific ami competent shall explore our hills and valleys, that the true elements of our wealth shall be known and published, that thereby capital and labor may be successfully invited among us. We have the further right, to nrge that those who govern us, shall take prompt and efficient steps to publish annually, the full statistical statements by our own officers, of the progress we are making in every branch of industry our indebtedness surplus interest paid abroad manufactures machinery improvements in a word, the details of the lubor and capital of the Stale should be known by every citizen. It has Iteen justly said, that the two great leading objects of human pursuit, are agriculture and mechanism. In these are comprehended the wealth of the country; their prosperity is that of the whole country. Each cul tivator of the sail, must be made thoroughly acquainted with the character and capabilities of his fields, and all etnSKf's fomilinr with thn nator.il wnllh wifli wbioli I bo conn try is blessed. We have too lone regarded the representative alone, as tbe wise man, who devises the best system of finance to cany forward great enterprises, by borrowing millions. Suppose we ehanee these stimulants of legislation, from that of capital to that of labor, and regard him as the wise man who devises a system that will make labor more attractive. Let u say by our conduct, that he who will present, at your State Agricultural Fair, the liest model farm in Indiana, is as much entitled to office as the commander of a regiment in battle. He who will ascertain the cause of the potatoe rot, and provide tbe remcely, is as much entitled to the respect of his fellow-men, as he who mannges tho finances ol a bank successfully that he, at least, docs as much for his race and country. Tha country will not bo retrograding, when the highest office shall lie given to the Mechanic and manufacturer, who shall make the liest model of mechanism, or the finest piece of cloth. Let the Plough, the Loom. and the Anvil, have their associations, conventions, shows, and fairs. When they meet, you will have essays, discussions, and experiments. In this way you will not only make labor more attractive, learn the progress we are making in every department and pursuit in life, but will hasten the day when Indiana will not be distinguished fur the sfoodness or security of her stocks, for she will have none in market, and will stand where she is justly entitled to. oat of debt, plenty and to spare the very first State in the Union in all that makes a people happy. Light taxes, no debts, an economical government , a prosperous, agricultural, manufacturing, and mechanical State. A portion of those I address to-day are strangers among you; some of them from a far ofTland. They have come amnnir the people of Indiana tn make their homes, to raise their families. You will find a welcome among our people; oar institutions invite vou. We1 know no citizen by tne land ol nisnrth. I would say to you, study our institutions, oar policy, and our laws. The door is free and open to every citizen, to public favor, in this onr belnyed State. I would impress upon the youth of my audience to commence in the morning of life, by laying deep and wide the fonndation of a ?ood moral character. Regard it as settled, in this Republic, by more than a higher law. that without virtue yot cannot be respected without integrity and stability of character yon cannot rise to permanent honor an.1 distinction. For one moment think not of wealth , t gard not poverty, but rather let it come, for more freqi entry wealth is a curse than a blessing. Be not anxk as to accumulate jn goods and pr-TpcrTy , bat be ye anxious. sbGcttoo, nay, ambitious to

improve the intellect tbe moral powers. They will live and flourish when tbe wealth of this world will be j crumbled to atoms. If you wish to live hereafter in tbe memory of the good and the great, connect roar name with some work of individual or national utility and benevolencedo something to advance the prosperity of your race act so as to mitigate, if possible, at least one ill of your nature. Work, labor, if you make but one suggestion in life, by which others may le able to take a step forward in the wide field of useful industry -one step forward in agriculture, or in mechanics, or in manufactures, or in the arts, or in any, even the most bumble branch of useful labor. You are indebted to the past for many blessings try to send tome favor, great or small, some good example down tbe

I stream of time to the future. Elevate by your coming ! and action, the character and standing of him who toils, by giving dignity to labor endeavor through life to add your mite .o the great work of human progress to better the condition of mankind, and your name will survive from generation to generation, as well as his who commands armies, or rules the destiny of a nation. I find myself to-dav. amidst tbe music of looms and spindles, in a city of near two thousand inhabitants, where, two years ago, there was scaicely the first improvement. I am surrounded on every side with a laboring and working people some of you employed in the cotton mill some in the machine shops some of you masons some of you carpenters some of you quarrying the rock of which your buildings are made others mine the coal which drives your engines and steamboats. I see hundreds, both male and female, engaged in spinning, weaving, turning off quantities of j goors to exchange for the comforts of life. All men can here witness how admirably thelalmr of the country rewards capita), and how, in turn, capital rewards labor. Here you are exhibiting a system which places the consumer ami producer side by side, dividing the advantages and benefits so hnrm'onionsly among all classes and conditions of your people, demonstrating the truth of tbe remark of that great apostle of freedom, when he said: u To be independent for the com forte qf life, ire mutt fabricate them ourtrirrx Iff must now place the Manufacturer by the tide of the .Igriculturalist.1' There are many inducements for the laboring man to settle amonrr von Here von m oniro nronertv st low - . v e r jii l .i f prices. !- ou can for a few dollars become the owner of reai estate, ann secure a nome lor your lamiiv government lands to be purchased within less than five miles, ' at one doilar and a quarter per acre wages as high as they are at Lowell or Lvnn work to be obtained for every member of your family tbe substantials of life ! cheap. Citizens of Cannelfon, yon have wisely selected Indiana, and this portion of the State, for the field of your operation. No Slate has such substantial resources. ! Here Nature has most bountifrlly lavished her richest gifts. Tbe iron, coal, and salt, cannot be obtained in anv portion of the Union, with such a soil. Generativ , where the iron and coal is found, the country is mountainous, sterile, and barren, and the lalioring men have to be supplied with the solids of lifo at a high price, e- ! ing brought a great distance. Here, side by side, by the : coal and iron, are the very best lands in the Union. In many parts of the State are the large rolling prairies, the finest bottoms, and richest uplands, underneath and i around which are vast beds of iron and coal. Citizens of Southern Indiana, you are blessed with many advantages over other portions of the State vou have commenced most favorably th" building up of Western Manufactures. This is the first decided movement that ha been made in our State. You will succeed you will net fail in this enterprise, with the advantages which surround yon yon have the -fervent aspiration of the whole State for your success. The zeal, energy, svsem and improvement among you far exceed any opinion I had formed. Little did I suppose, on mv visit to Cannelton, that I should witness what I have seen the manufacturing of iO.000 vnrd of cotton goods per week, and this amount soon to be doubled the running of 11.000 spindles. 400 looms, nnd cmploving 400 t 500 hands, nnd machinery equal, if not superior, to any in the Uni'ed States. I shall ref-.n to the cmfre of he Stat and will fail not to sfiv t i mv fellow citizens, tbat Indiana produces the comfor t and necessaries of life, equal, if not to a greater airr unt. than anv State in the Union, of her size nnd population, and tbat my opinion is that, with additional capita! nnd labor, she will soon be able to take her stand as a manufacturing State one that can at least supply hoolf with many of the articles that are "ow pun based nb-oad. Wo shall have that additional capital nnd labor whenever the grent leading elements of our wealth are fcnoipn. There is less known abroad, this day. of the surplus of Indi-tnn of her motive pow. er. coal, iron, salt, timltcr. stone, fcc, titan any Slate in this Union. The remedy for this i$ in the hands of the people. It is pratifrin? to witness Kmttickians and InJiinians, today minoliio, .cr as e f0. Tjs, great I'',.- ui inn i i i',. ' ! . iiiiii i - iioiii i;.i. mis. called philanthropy which sets at defiance the solemn Compact of nur fathers, which would violate all law and order, and wlii. h makes each man's eonscie ,ce the arbiter of constitutional rights. Difleiing in ttie structure of our social relati.ins, we wmc up to the bond of our Union, the avk of safety he Constitution consequently the property of the Kentuckian is returned asptoinptIv to his owner by the Indianiau, as his is, in return, by the Kentuckian. I ardently hope the citizens at mm lucky and Indiana will ever retain the proud distinction they now enjoy of living as a people foremosi in sustaining the rights due to each otler. and regarding and faithfully fulfilling the obligations that they owe to each member of this confederacy of brothers. It is true that the government of the United States is not perfect, but man has established rone better none as guoei Tlnouoh tii nations of the Present, and over the habitable globe, wherever nan nas made a Home, we may seared in vmn for n political confederation metre free, and lcttcr.adapted, in its practical operations, to raise the whole liumnn family to the highest attainable condition of virtue, freedom, knowledge, poliitcal equality, prosperity and safety. The hand of an overruling and unseen Providence is visible in the unexampled blessings which are scattered all round us. A nation of freemen slrechin;r from ocean to ocean, from State to State, embracing free thought, free religion, free iiible, schools, homes. churches, libraries, asylumcs. While a portion of our brethren on the waters of the Pedee, French, Broad, aud Bis Hatchee of the South, ami those of the North, on the Chicopce, Qiineliauo. and Taunton, are talking about dissolution and separation from one another, and ol "marching up to the last parpet with coffins on their backs," of "sotting at defiance the laws of the land," we Kentuckians and Indiautans ate sitting quietly under the shade of our "mighty oaks," livino and dwelling as brethren in peace and harmunv. Peace dwell in this valley. Our motto is. That the land conqured under Freedom ' banner, shall be consecrated to freedom and union, now and forever If the men of this day, who talk of a separation of this Republic, would visit the great West the Mississsippi Valley they would return satisfied that a separation is impossible. With ns we have a higher law it is Nature's law, liofore which all the assemblages and conventions, from Hartford to Nashville , from Buffalo ; Charleston, weigh I not a ll'allicr. When the day shall arrive that the language and principles, avowed and spoken by the ultraist of the N"rth or of the South, shall be adopted ami be as common among the great mass of our fellow-citizens of this valley, then, and not unt 1 then, will the friends of free government throughout the world have a right to doubt the capability of man for self government.
