large. We do not propose to NEEDLE with
political parties as they now exist; we wish
to enlist every southern man in southern
cause, and in defence Of southern rights, be
he Wing or be he Democrat We do not
propose to disturb him, or to shake him in
his party relations. All that we ask is, that
he shall consider the constitutional rights of
the South, which are involved in the great
abolition movement, as paramount to all
party and all other political considerations.
And surely the time has come when all
southern men should unite for the purpose of
self-deience. Our relative power in the
Legislature Of the Union is diminishing with
every census; the dangers which menace us
are daily becoming greater; and, the chief in
strument in the assaults upon US is the public
press, over which, owing to our supineness, the
North exercises controlling influence. So
far as the South is concerned, we can change
and reverse this state of things. 1t is not
to be borne, that public sentiment at the South
should be stifed or controlled by the party
press
Let us have press of our own, as the
North has, both here and at home-a press
which shall be devoted to Southern rights,
and animated by Southern feeling; which
shall look not to the North but the South for
the tone which is to pervade it. Claiming
our share Of rower in Federal Legislation, let
us also claim our share of influence in the
press Of the country. Let us organize in
every Southern town and county, so as to
send this paper into every house in the land.
Let us take, too, all the means necessary to
maintain the paperby subscription, SO as to
increase its circulation, and promte the
spread of knowledge and truth. Let every
portion of the South furnish its full quota Of
talent and money to sustain paper which
ought to be supported by all, because it will
be devoted to the interest Of every Southern
man. 1t will be the earnest effort Of the
committee who are charged with these ar
rangements, to procure editors Of high talent
and standing; and they will also see that the
paper is conducted without opposition, and
without reference to the political parties Of
the day. With these assurances, we feel
justified in calling upon you, the people Of
the Southern States-to make the necessary
efforts to establish and maintain the proposed
paper. tEh 5a#

Falling off upto present date, for 1850, 22,745
Peace and plenty in the United States, and
war and scarcity in Europe, have much more to
do with such rapid emigration as has been wit
messed of late years, than the existence of Free
dom here and Despotism there. Men love
Liberty, but a stronger and more controlling
feeling than even that which induces them to
face death ut the cannon's mouth, is their love
for Home Liberty is often sentiment only.
Home is always reality, and the dearest of all
to the human heart.

pecrease Of Foreign Emigration,

The statistics of emigration at New York,
from all foreign countries, show a great falling
off this season from last and previous seasons.
For example, the total number of persons arrived
during the month Of June, was 1878, while
last year the arrivals of the same month reached
3l,375 For the last six months, also, the entire
number arrived falls considerably short OF the
arrivals for the corresponding six months of the
year l849. The figures are as follows:

EXHIBITION OF THE FLYING ARTILLERY.-The
Flying Artillery from Fort McHenry gave us an
interesting exhibition Of their tactics, last even
ing, on the public grounds near the Monument.
We were surprised to find large gathering
present. Nearly the entire grounds were covered
with carriages and spectators; and all were eqaally
entertained and astonished at the fine display of
horsemanship and the admirable discipline of
men and horses. They did not go through with
their most difficult manGuvres in consequence Of
the narrow limits of their ground, and the press

legations and regard to party success. And
they but subserve the ends of their estab-
ishment in consulting their own interests,
and the advancement Of the party to which
they are pledged. You cannot look to item
as sentnels over interests that are repugnant
to the feelings of the majority Of the self
sustaining party.
In the Federal Legislature the South has
some voice and some votes; but over the pub
lie press, as it now stands at the Seat OF
Government, the North has controlling in
fuence. The press of this city takes its
tone from that Of the North. Even our
Southern press is subjected, more or less, to
the same influence. Our public men,.yes,
our southern men, owe their public standing
and reputation too often to the commentator
and praise Of the Northern press. Southern
newspapers republish from their respective
party organs in this city, and in so do
ing, cproduce--unconscou doubtless, in
most instances, of the wrong they do--tbe
northern opinion in regard to public men
and measures. How dangerous such state
Of things must be to the fidelity Of your re-
representatives. it is needless to say! They
are but men, and il would be unwise to sup
pose that they are beyond the reach Of temp
tations which influence the rest Of mankind
Fellow-citizens, it rests with ourselves to
alter this state OF things, SO far as the South
is concerned. We have vast interests, which
we are bound, by many considerations, to
defend with all the moral and political means
in our power. One Of the first steps to this
great end is to establish Southern Organ

Course Of Virginia.

The editors of that sterling paper, the Lynch
burg Republican,, in referring to the future
course of Virginia, thus strikes the nail on the
head:
We are opposed, however, to any more reso-
lutiors upon this subject, unless bond and secu-
ritty be given that they will be executed when
adopted. The Legislature has sworn enough in
Flanders, and should now act, or forever atter-
wards hold its peace. The miserable policy of
adopting "patriotc" resolutions, just to back
out from them when the emergency which they
arc designed to meet arises, is as disgraceful to
State as n similar clustering policy would be
in an individusI, and has done more to PROSTATE
the cause Of the South, than all other causes
combined. Pass strong non,iutercourse resolves
if you please--do anything to arrest it possible
the tide of Northern aggression now threatening
us with ruin--but for mercy sake do not make
Virginia say the Jonrth time that if so and so be.
done, she will do so and So at all hazards. No
more platforms, gentlemen, to be broken through,
when pressure comes.

Stale Of South Carolina, certain moneys expended
by her in the volunteer service in the Florida

CALIFORNIA JUDICIARY.
Mr.. GWIN offered resolution instruclhg an
inquiry, by the Judiciary Committee, into the ex-
pediency of raising the sa aries of the California
United States District Judges, fixed at s., 500 by
the law Of the last sessloC.
Mr.. HALE moved an amendment for the
inquiry, with respect to the District Judges OF
New Hampshire.
Mr.. GWiN said there no difficulty in get
ting Judge for New Hampshire but unless the
salary IN his own State was raised, n" Judges
could be had for California. The two that had
been appointed had declined, because Of ihe in
suficency Of the salary.
Mr.. HALE said his amendment was offered in
good faith.
The amendment was agreed to, and the resolu-
ton adopted.

Candor Of the IntelligenoeI.

In the article from this paper re-pnblished
yesterday, 1t will be seen that the editors charge
upon South Caroiina til. proposition to tax the
sale of Northera productions in the Southern
States. Nobody K lows better than the editors
of the Ipaij2cprer th It tAi7 i1nrt Il South Caro-
lima movement, and that me has expressed n
preference invariably. for other remedies which
she regards IS more Ollie rnt aud more surely
calculated to secure jG:tiHt 10 the South. 1t is
in the .Norib Carpijau legislature, as We had oc
casoA to show IL" other day, that these move.
lnenSs have hrrA br'.'ll. IL was the Governor
Of Iiyyittl not III South Carniind, who in his
message Of last week recommended this policy
to that State. 1t was Judge BERRlES Of
Georgia, not Judge CHEvE> Of South Carolina,
that months ago advised this course Of action
as the remedy, rather than secession which
Judge CHEvEs preferred. In word, it is well
known that the moderate men Of the South ar.
those who, az Mr. CLAY himself advised, are
disposed to fight the battle in the Union rather
than out of It, against hnaticism. These, we
say,-as every body knows-are the persons
who have expressed preference for this line
Of policy. If South Carolina should come in
10 II, sho docs it because she is willing TO CO.
operate with her sisters Of the South, IN all such
