fact, that there is no highway or communication
equal to the sea. It is true, as we intend hereafter
to show, that such a State as California has a
greater future, though it may not be so well adapted
as a field for the emigration of poor families, the
reason being the same which tells so severely
against Australia and New Zealand, " too far off."
Yet it skirts the ocean—bat the Pacific, 110 t
the Atlantic; therefore while it presents the
finest outlet for the Japanese and the Chinese
labourers, it cannot be reached by the British
emigrant with small means ; and if it could they
would but come into competition with the cheaper
labour of these races. A story lately went the
rounds of the papers telling of the work of a
colony of German emigrants who, twenty-three
years ago, settled at West Braumfels, Texas. That
colony now owns 900 square miles of fertile land in
a high state of cultivation, and boasts of a flourishiog
town and county seat of 4,000 inhabitants, rapidly
becoming a city important in trade and imposing '°
appearance. Thos3 born and reared there would
regard with surprise the indigent families left hope"
lessly toiling in Germany, content to remain in such
a condition. We have said enough to give a gene:
ral idea of this immense State, which members 01
Congress have lately proposed to split into three;
but we cannot conclude without remarking on the
condition of society, the law, and the way in which
it is executed. Texas was born into the Union as 3
State, in violence and disorder, and politically
it has continued so to the present time.
Mr. Reverdy Johnson, iu response to the agents e
the Pioneer line, denied the assertion of the Doily
News that Texas was a land of lawlessness an
murder, he meant the ordinary crime of murder
that is robbery with violence, ending in death' °r
death premeditated to secure a gain or to gratifl
revenge. Such crimes are certainly no more coin'
mon in Texas than elsewhere; but the case is very
different regarded from its political aspect. None
of the Southern States have been since the war free
from an atrocious system of political assassination'
and among the worst is Texas. It was the last to lel,
down its arms, itmay be the last to surrender the right
of shooting a man for holding Northern principles'
This Admiral Semmes in his book just publish;
alludes to in a playful way as the habit of a POP
whose heart is in the right place, but are too foil
of resorting to the pistol and the bowie knife. 131
the way he says this State will shorllv be an jade'
pendent Republic, with ten millions of inhabitants'
An emigrant takes no interest in these party goes'
tions, and, therefore, is not molested by the Tee
an
desires to see his State flourish, but not throng,, ;
the medium of the hated Yankee. The Bill of Rights
contains all the essential principles of liberty 313
free Government, in fact it embodies all the most
a
enlightened law in the world. The Government
a constitutional Republic, as is that of the itead
States, vested in an Executive, a Legislative, and
judicial branches, all public officers being elected ,_s
the free suffrages of the people. The State, 10W, 0
ever, not having as yet been reconstructed on the
Acts of Congress, is at present under the rule o,f
a military commander, whose power the Feder;
Legislature has lately strengthened to such a degree
that he can remove and fill up civil vacanciel;
That Commander is at this moment in `Weser
ington, giving evidence as to the best mantle
of adding to the scurity of life in the State. 3
this is a subject of no great moment to the emigrant,
c 0
who may rely upon the fact that Texas suffers from
too much, not too little, liberty. Every citizen has
the right by law to keep and bear arms in the levr'
° ful defence of himself and the State. No
Persilll
shall be imprisoned for debt, and all prisoners shetal
be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for cap'
offences when the proof is evident. Indeed the lag
would be something delightful if each Texan wool
only cease from being a law unto himself—judge'
jury, and executioner—and to hold mere opinions
opposed opposed to the majority, to be the worst of capital
crimes.
