Excerpt from Review of the Revolutionary Elements of the Rebellion, and of the Aspect of Reconstruction: With a Plan to Restore Harmony Between the Two Races in the Southern States The future of the United States, or of the Southern States, will present no subject that will be more important to the happiness of the people, than the science of agriculture, whether considered as the field for Speculation, or for the elevation of the race that stood before the nation as the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. Its grandeur will be seen in the fact that the polluted stream Of politics will be subordinate to it in every phase, which enable them to realize the power it will exert to control the efforts to consolidate freedom, and restore the relations of the freedmen to the soil as the agricultural class. The antagonism that has taken such a wide range between capital and labor in this country, requires a solution that will lead to a reciprocity of interests, that will be more perma nent, at the same time have the inherent means to regulate itself without being exposed to the discordancy that effects, to a greater or less degree, the great interests of the manufactories of the New England States and elsewhere; for, notwithstanding the redun dant population which makes up the masses in all the cities, and the constant flow of the tide of emigration from Europe, yet the struggle continues under the various organizations to the detri ment of the mutual relations that should be sustained between the employers and the employees.
