Mr.. Ep,roR.-In looking over the Virginia
and NorlhICarolna papers, | see many adj.
yertiscments of land for sale. with view to
removal, on the part of their owners, to the
South, South West, West, or some other
place where civilization, christianity, and the
moral and enighted refnements Of society are
not generally found, but, in their stead, in
fidelity. barbarism, and all the loose and reck-
less passions which sway mankind.
In properly organised societies, such as
exist in most Of the older States, every in
ducement is held ont, il. fact. is given to all
honest aud industrious men TO remain within
their limits. Such is particularly the case at
this time with Virginia and North Carolina.
Nowhere upon the sarth's surface. exist so
intelligent, honest, industrious, refined, mo-
raj, upright, confiding and hospitable people.
as are those Of these two old Common
wealths," yet we see disposition manifested
lby many Of their sons to leave their dear old
mothers, when they are exerting their best
energies to do more for and better by their
younger children than they were ever able
to de for their elder ones.
The writer Of this article once lived in one
of the South> Western States. and has had oc-
cason to visit different sections at different
times since, and from his own experience,
observation and inquiries. can confidently al

rsble TO North Carolina in all tina, constitutes
greatness. aud that contributes to the health.

adapted to the production Of every species OF
the vegetable and animal kingdom, aud all
the great marketable staples Of the world.

when either one Of these articles is depressed
in price, some one or all Of the others is sure
to command reinunerative prices. The plan

dence, he can reallze money. Not so with

does not afford better climate for the pro-

than the mountains Of Virginia and North
Carolina and at no very distant day, this

to their citizens. We would say to those
