that half of the youth in the nation will become lawyers, and set every man's hand against his neighbor, until the land is filled with broils and contention. But where are the farmers in this and that district of the islands, who shall be content with a moderate number of acres, but who shall be satisfied with nothing short of the very highest cultivation of which the land is capable? God all gracious and long-suffering send us—not sugar planters, for we have a sufficiency of these for the present, and besides, the people cannot imitate the erection of sugar mills and the successful manufacture of sugar; not the cultivators of tobacco, for as you have heard Mr. President, or will hear from the minority report on that miserable weed, scarcely a greater curse can be inflicted on the land, scarcely a worse example be given the people than the cultivation by foreigners of tobacco-but send us men who shall have a genuine passion for farming; who shall hold on until the cultivation of the soil shall be honorable, and the entire group shall be filled with the fruits of industry, intelligence and holiness.
