There are more instances Than one, in
which The South, the traduced, The SLAM
drred South, has been treated with the
baSest ingratitude by those who have been
the recipients, in former days, of her "a
YOURS lavishly bestowed upon them. How
many an enierprisine young nIan, reared
in a mure northern clime.has heen tempted
to abandon his hnme, the home Of his youth
aud in The sunny South" to seek after
fame, fortune, and a name! How many
have succeeded, aud are now enjoying the
highest confidence Of those among whom
they have cast their luts. the history nfeach
Southern State tells upon every page.
On the other hand, there are those whom
avarice, or stern necessity, has driven
from their hearth stone. and who, urged
by the character Of our people abroad,
have sought for hnme in The SOuil', 10
relieve their necessities or to minister to
their avarice. The welcome extended 10
these, lacked noughI Of what is charac

malrun has often watched ever the couch,

of Georgia. Humble then as his preen-
