THE SOUTHERN IDEA OF ORGANIZED
EMIGRATION.

DE Bows Review" published al Richmond.
Va. contains an article entitled Hon Charles
Sumner, Eli Thayer, and Horace Greely on Or
gan'Sed Emigration or the Whto Slave Trade. "
It. lt commences by asserting that the plan Of Mr..
Ihayer Is calculated ito strengthen and perpetu-
ate the Union" and expresses the belief that such
was the intention Of the Emgrant Aid Company
OF Massachusetts,. On the subject of organized
emigration on the part of the. .South, it says:
I'VE of the South have been practising organ.
lied Emigration for century. and hence have
outstripped the North in the acquisition of land
The owner OF hundred, slaves who with his over.
seer moves TO the West, aries out a self-support-
ing ,self'iusuring, well-organzed community"
The article partially endorses the doctrines ad.
vanced in the great speech of Mr. Sumner, advanc-
ed in the Senate in May, 1856, in which be de.
clared that the stockholders and officers of The
Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society were busi
ness men. whose objects was to make money by
planting capital in advance of population :" that
Its whole action, and all its anticipatiLns of ne.
cuniary profit, are founded on the hope to stock
the country With permanent settlers, by whose
labor the capital of the country shall be made to
yield it's increase"
AT tine Close of the article occurs the following
unfortunate paragraph:

A RIcH PRAcTIAL J"KE-The method by
which the Free State Legislature OF Kansas rid
that Territory OF the infamous Lrc1mpte and Cat
Is one of the richest bits Of Legislative action in
the history Of the country. The work was accom-.
plished by bill re.distrctng the Teir:,ry for
judicial purposes. By this bill the Territory is
divided into three distrcts-lhe first of which lies
west of the sixth principal meridian and north of
the fourth standard parallel the secOnd lies west
Of the same rian and south Of the same paral
lel and the third district lies east Of the sixth me-
ridan. Lecompte is assigned the first district :;
Cato the second; and Williams the third. The
third district embraces all and more than all the
settled and civilized portions Of the Territory
while the districts assigned to Lecompte and Cato
are inhabited by Indians and wild beasts !.
The people. to whom Lecompte will in
future administer Justice will be the
of the famous Dahcota or cut.throat family
whilst the jurisdcti' of Cato will embrace Utahs;
Snakes, Root Digeers, Apaches, Camanches. &C..
To add to the severity of this joke. the judg-
required live within their districts and to
hold four terms of court each year, within six
miles of their respective geographical centres
otherwise they are liable to fine OF one thousand
dollars and imprisonment for one year, on convic.
ton before the Court of the third district OF any
other county Probate Court.
They are required to take up their residence
within their districts within thirty days after the
passage of the bill and every thirty days there
alter that they are absent from their districts to
be considered q distinct offence.
The practical effect of this act will be either TO
