German Labor Going West.


German Labor Going West.
+ Almost every afternoon BIZ visiting the
|depot in this city, one may see fair speci-
|nen of the future inhabitants of our Yves
/ bern States and Territories. The Central
Railroad is carrying from three to four
hundred emigrants every day to Buffalo,
Preparatory TO their leaving for some Ak
ed destination farther on. Most of
these people appear to be great, big.
Ibrave, brawny Germans; clad comfortably.
and conYersing inteliigenlly. Possessing
|tJr the most part means to locate upon our
|pablic lands, they will doubtless settle as
|hrmers and artisans of the West, and give
their respective locations social aspect
|pcculiarly resembling the Fatherlsnd,
(which they left in pursuit of new home.
Emigration this year is peculiarly Ger
snan. No previous season has Witnessed
sIch an exodus from that country. The
|New Yorker lend Zeitung, in alludiilg to
t1a fact furnishes some interesting points
Iog this subject. According TO all accounts
and appearances, Germany will this year
|ilrnish a contingent equal to fit does not
superior to the entire population Of two or
@tiree Of the petty German States. From
/ al parts Of Germany they are coming
MANY localities in which the emigration
Hover has hitherto been a stranger snch as
[pomerania, Western Prussia, and Baden
/ mrg-are now sending out large parties
|nr the nearest port on their way to Amer
4 host If these Germans are provided with
two great elements of success, money and
p;actical knowledge. They hope, it is
|le, to better their condition, and acquire
|seal;h, but not from purely speculative
operations. Once settled as agricllturists
! of mechanics, they become producers, and
their pursuit of riches will be confined to
legitimate and fair business transactions !;
[they viii not only adj to their own wealth
/ in this way, but enhance the value of
property about them, and at the Sometime
will build schocl houses and churches. and
early introduce an educational establish
ment which will give the West au intelli-
gent rising population. Perhaps no PEG
bile in toe world are more thoroughly i'm
pressed with the necessity of education
.han the Germans, and coming as they do
with all the elements of success and fn-
lure usefulness, they deserve warm wei
scome.
In this constant stream OF practical and
Industrial emigration centars the only hope
: for the West. 1t is to the beautiful green
! fields, now unrolled like scroll upon the
bosom of Nature, that the West must look
for the basis of her commercial prosperity
and with equal reliance must she trust
ia Ii, prac i1al settler for the devel-
Opment and steady increase Of wealth, nu-
mstical growth and relative Importance
The polished SPECTATOR contributes moth
I ing to the real solid prosperity of any
Ountry-what he invests be expects to
receive again with usury, while he strikes
not single blow towards the advance OF
! the people or business intrests Of the COM
munitv. But those men who go West,
counting the cost before they start, and at
! Once form a living co-partnership between
4 their skill and some mechanical employ
ment not only meet the wants of the
country, but bid fair to realize Their most
sanguine hopes of success.
That crises which, though long deferred,
4 must overtake the Western Spectator, will
not materially affect that class of citizens
i who have secured their homes and who re-
4 y upon Labor for their future success
And while the reaction which always fol-
lows extravagant and visionary schemes
will sweep ava, The Spectator and work
his ruin, the Labor of the country will be-
come more prosperous and happy from
having thrown off embarrassing and worth
less ezcresences, which now cling to it and
absorb not only much Of its vitality, but
very much of its legitimate reward
z Burns INpEpENDgNcE.-Before Burns
had arrived at his high popularity, he was
ones invited by some pufel up lords to
dine IN order that they might have the
gratihcatlon of hearing the poet sing one
Of his own songs. Burns was shown into
'ne servants hall, and LEFT to dine with the
meuias, After dinner he was invited to
Tue draw'ngg-room, and glass of wine be-
ing handed to him, he was requested to
sing one OF his own songs. He immedi-
ateiy gave his entertainers that tbrillino
assertion of independence, "a mans !
man tor a that" and left the moment he
mad finished, bis heart embittered at nat.
