European emigration now finds more inviting
habitation than tho United States, since Know
Nothingiem has become sentiment Of such vitnl-
ity among our people Besides Brazil it is patent
to evory observer that Algeria, Cape Colony in I
Southern Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand,
Fraser's River, have become the great magnets,
which attract those who seSk not only political
rights, good cheap land and mild climate, but also
cheap sl"re or Apprentice labor which cannot he
found here. Tho powers Of Europe are supplying
their Colunists with such labor by wholesale, at
merely nominal priees-thc simple cost of impor-
tatiou. In fact France in Algeria, and England
ou tho West Coast of Africa, we'll as in her
Great Colony in Southern Africa, and in the fertile
broad valley Of tae Zambcze, are supplying negro
apprentices without even the cost or trouble Of
importation. The apprentices aro on the spot
"to the manor born" yet they have to cultivate
their own lands with their own hands, to furnish
subsistence and luxury for tho white Colonlst
1t may merit the remark, that ono of the proba-
BILE motives which actuate the Governments OF
Europe in thus retracing their steps on the matter
of "Aholitiou," and the "equal rights of man,
is TO stop the aoodtde of emigration to the United
States, by rendering the elnigrans in other quar-
tors, not only cheaper land but also cheaper stare
labor than cam be had here with the slave trade
closed. This view of the case may likewise serve
to explain England's anxiety to suppress the slave
trade outside of her Colonies. She allows few
I, nntI ms rpNl-
ize the profits of transportation, that she may coV-
er her desgns-that her own universal apprentice
system may be kept in cOuntenance, but above all
that Cuba may have within her bosom, more re-
belious and inAamatory population than the Afri-
can to prevent Croole sympathy with annexation
to the United States. Eugand's "npprcn'iced Ia

in our own Colonies. Ths Munsrcl Spaniard has
no where yiudicatrd his claim to be treated either

slavery or freedom, and England is exterminatng
