And in the older States, the increase of population ; the division of labor ; the amassment of riches ; the fre- quent intercourse and intimate connection with Europe, have supplied the educational deficiency observable in the early days of the Eepublic, and still noticeable in the younger members of the Union. Although these impediments have disappeared from many of the Southern States, they have not attained the rank to which the virtues, the endowments and in- dustry of their citizens entitl...e them. Full of life and energy, they delight in action more than in contempla- tion. Impatient of restraint, and ambitious of excellence, they are too eager to seize the success that crowns the passing hour, to wait for the gradual unfolding of their powers, which would achieve more splendid triumphs and obtain more magnificent trophies. Everywhere, the effects of haste, of passion, of excitement, are visible. These impress themselves upon many of their under- takings. Lord Burleigh's favorite maxim, "Stay a little that we may make an end the sooner, " they utterly ig- nore, and do everything hurriedly to-day, with the prom- ise of doing it much better to-morrow.
