Mull.all in The North American Review: "The conditiou of the Southern States is unsatisfactory, not meiely because in educatton, industiy and ivtalth Ihey are much behind the rest of the Union, but bec owíng to want of facilitics, their resources are not properly developed. It istrue thatone-third of tlie population is colored, but, even allowing for this fact, Hiere is no reason why tlie South is not altogether on a par with one of its own Mates, Texas, which has 22 per cent of its population colored. Witb. regard to tlie number of its inhahitants, Texas has .45 por eent more railwaya, 110 per cent more banks than tlie otlier States of the South, and eacli of its hands einployed in farming produces nearly lliree times as much. More schools, move railways, more banks, are needed in the Southern States, and if perserving efforta are inade in this direction the resulta u 11 certainly prove successful." Many modern Euglishman dislike the lines in the national anthem : "Confound their politie.s. Frústrate their kuavisli tricks, On Thee our hopes wc fix, God save the Queen." And tlie Dean of Eochester lias suggested the following in their place : 'Keep us trom plague and dearth, Turn Thou our u-oés to mirth, And over all the earth Ij'1! there berpeaoe."
