Moro about the kentucky Overseer thai
Advertised for Wife.

Our readers will remember the marriage last
spring of William \. Carr, Of Kentucky to Mrs
=. Briggs, ofColumhus, Ohio. The match was
brought about by most ridiculous letter. from
Carr to the elitor of tho New York Times iuquir-
ing for wife, and which the Times published
for the benefit of it, readers. Everybody read it,
and laughed at it, but few supposed any woman
would be tool eaough seriously to reply to it
Carr, however. it will lie remembered recei, ed
letters from lOl womcn--candilale. for his hand.
From the lot, he finally selected the Columbus
widow.
1t turns out that Carr was something of gay

Falling Off in Emigration.

For the first time in the history of emigration
to the United States from the British Islands there
is now preponderance in the movement towards
Australia and Canada over that towards these
shores. The Official returns made up in England
show that for the 6rst three month. Of 1858 the
aggregate number Of emgrants from Great Britain
was 1900, of whom $500 were bound for the
United States against l6 725 for the corresponding
period Of 1857. Of the rest 9,st1 were for the
Australian colonies. Emigrativa for all parts of
the world has not been at ~ low fgure for if
teen years past as it now ia 1t attained its max
imum figure in 1859, when it reached 372,725.-
This was reduced to less than one-half in 1857,
when the emigration only reached some 10000
No dOsbt, it would he best for us if emigration
to this country from foreign shores would cease
altogether. We have already large proportion
too large indeed-of the foreign element in our
midst We have plenty Of people for the defence
OF the country against any foe that may be sent
against us. We had better trust to the hcalthful
and natural increase of the population we already
have, than to dilute our nationality with still
further admixture of foreign ideas. We hope sin.
serely the day is nigh at hand when immigration
to this country will cease altogether and entirely.

The REGINA CHII NEGRoEs.--The London Daily
News and the Manchester Guardian criticises the
statements which have appeared from the French
officers OF the Regina CTli. and from the Secreta-
ry Of the New York Colonization Society, in rela-
ton To the negroes who shipped on the Libc-
ran coast FOR transportation to French colony.
Both journals deem the Sccrctarys defence Of the
Liberlan authorities insufficient and incline to the
opinion that the negroes were, as the French Off
GERS state, 'em grants from America The News
very piintedly says
I'VE are disposed to l.elevc that they were
American negroes, brought to a maj kct highly
convenient to the seller, who sent them there, and
to the buyers who enleavored to ship them thence
Liberia has often before been slave market; aud
certain Liberan officials have been highly accom-
plishcd in the practical nowledge of the slave
trade. We do not feel bound to decide between
such probability in the case Of the present Ad-
ministratlon, and the impuation of enormous lying
brought by the American and Liberian authorities
against the French officers"

American state Convention.

The necessity for vigorous and organized
opposition to modern Democracy both IN the
State and the nation. was never greater than
at present. A great deal depends on the
Americans ard Wings Of the South to prevent
the precipitation OF issues purely sectional in
another national contest. By proper exer-
tions on the part of the Southern opposition
to the numerous political enormities Of the
present Administration. they may be able to
build up truly national and conservative
party, which shall extend to all the States,
aud while it may overwhelm the advocates OF
. fanatical sectionalism, it may also defeat
the unwise policy. the mischievous purposes
and unholy practices of the Democratic
party.
1t is no less important that the opposition
should effect a thorough organization for the
approaching State elections in Tennessee.
The events of the last twelve months indicate
that il is rhe settled design OF the dominant
party, to make radical changes in the policy
of the State in respect to the currency-a
subject which lies nearest to the commercial
prosperity OF the State. and the individual
success of the citizen. 1t, therefore, becomes
necessary that the Americans and Wings OF
Tennessee and all others who are opposed to
the radical tendencies and impOlitic measures
of the Democracy. to meet in Convention for
purposes of counsel. consultation, DC.
Thus believing and feeling, we respectfully
suggest that a State Convention of the oppo-
sition to the democratic party, be held in this
city on the 22d of F bruary next, for the
purposes indicated What say the people?
and what our friends of the Press?

This is qualification which has long since
been entirely ignored in the Democratic
party. The twists and turns which this party
has taken are wonderful. Its leaders are
