A Coon STATE TO EMIGRArE Fsoy~-The
Honorable Lueius Q. Lamar, of Missia-
sippi, in speech in Congress Oh the 18th
ultimo, gave Massachusetts clever
Init:
"If I could do So" he said, " consist
emily with the honor of my country, l
would plant American liberty, with
Southern institutions, upon every inch OF
American soil I believe that they give
to us the highest type Of civilization
known to modern times, except In those
particulars dwelt upon SO elaborateiy
and complacently by the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, Mr.. Thayer. In that
particular form of civilization which
causes the population Of a country to en-
icrate to other lands for the means OF
subsistence, concede to the North great
superiority over our section Laugh
teri There can be no doubt that New
England, and especially Massachusetts,,
is a splended country to emigrate from,
and, in this til respect, stands unrlxaiied.
with, perhaps, the single exception OF
Ireland. + Laughter And right hero
I desire to express my acknowledgment
to the gentleman for the very apt and
classical comparison which he instituted
between his section and the o6fsna gents-
um. It never occurred to me before, but.
since he has mentioned it, Unjust confess
to the resemblance, in many respects,
between the recent emigration from New
England and the irruption Of the Goths
and Vandals. Laughter It is also
due to candor that should say that the
Igentleman's vindication of the emigrant
aid societies places the objects and mo
tives of that enterprise upon more deten-
sible grounds than we Of the South sup
tposed to exist. For one I am perfectly
by BY necessity, and has resulted !, in benefit
to all parties concerned that the country
was benefited by getting rid Of the popu'
Ilation, and the population greatly ben
Eefted by leaving the country

rag A few days ago Judge Russell, of
the court of general sessions, New York,
gave a criminal the privilege, on the
Solicitation Of his father, to enlist in the
army-that or the penitentiary was the
choice. Gen. Scott seeing the fact
noticed in the papers, gave orders to the
recruiting officers in the city and neigh
lborhood to reject the criminal, if he
offered for enlistment, Or if he was
already enlisted. The General viii be
applauded for this act-for nothing could
be more denloralizing than to make o
Botany Bay of the army. There are

original character 1t is, so to speak, stretched OUT
