EMIGRATION TO HAMMONToN, New JER-

Some forty vineyards have recently been set
out.
Considering thai this locality is entirely
secure from blighting frosts, it presents
great Inducements for profitable farming to
those who must leave. The loss of wealth
to farmers in the North, from frosts, amounts
to millions, whilst the GOODNESS OF their
climate also debars them from raising of
the most profitable crops.
This New England settlement is under
going vast improvements, and increase of
population. We understand that within the
past year the population has increased some

OFCol. Manypenny, in his Morristown
speech, reviewed the old school-boy twad-
die about the Republicans favoring the
mixing of the races, amalgamation, &c
We refer him to few statistics, to show
him his falacy. We charge that Slavery
promotes the mixing of the races, and here
is the proof: ''=-ae
In the city of New York there are lo,-
749 blacks and 3,O66 mulattoes, or ratio
of 81 to L.
In New Orleans there are 1898 blacks,
and s,O58 mulattoes, or ratio of only one
black to fraction over 4 mulattoes.
The ratio of mulattoes 20 100 blacks in
Ohio-I29,52.
In Virginia the same ratio is--1Ss,ls.
In Tennessee do do 1871.
In Massachusetts, do 1880.
Thus we might go on and produce in
stance after instance to prove the absurdity
of the speakers reasoning. The statistics
do not lie on this point: We might take
into consideration the fact that emigration
brought many of the blacks TO the Northern
States ami cities, and that the institution
of Slavery is responsible for them.f Such
rash charges are not worth much. III

Of large tract of Western land. To show
the statement is false and that Mr.. Many

masses Of the mos, orderly, and respectable
and influential of our citizens.
The meeting was organized on motion Of
Charles ID. Kinks. by calling to the chair.
VIM. " oodward, Of the well known firm Of
Woodward s. Co. The preamble and res
olutions submitted set forth in clear and
emphatic ianguare. the snciaF and poiitfra
evils SO long endrred BY the citizens of Bal
timore, they condrnn the existence of club
rale, and propose vigorous and effective
measures to-insure fair expression of the
sentiments of the public at the ensuing
election, by protecting the purity of the bal
lot and placing in nomination honest. able
and fearless men, in opposition 10 the NOM
lnees of the political clubs.
The resolutions also provide for the
appointment of a committee to call on the
Mayor and demand the appointment of re-
liable mem as Judges ofthe Lext election
and the appon' ment OF special police force
to keep the polls clear so as 10 allow the
exercise of tFe elective franchise. The

". The meeting was addressedby Mr. Geo
Brown, Esq distinguished leader of the
Bar, james Hodge, Esq, merchant of the
firm of Hodge & Bros, and George MGill.
The speeches were received with shouts of
approval. During their progress several
attempts to interrupt them were made by
members of the rowdy gangs, but they were
promptly suppressed.
After the adjournment of the meeting a
body of rowdies calling themselves Regn-
ators, &c, rushed upon the platform, and
one of them attempted TO harrangue the
crowd still remaining. The police, how.
ever, interlered and promptly arrested The
ringleaders and carried some Is to the lock
up, amid the loud plaudits of the people and
the waving of handkcrchiefs by the ladies'
crowdins the windows of the hotels and
private residences in the vicinity. Thus
law and order mas, on this occasion, been
fully vindicated, and an expression given
to the most determined opposition to rowdy-
ism and lawlessness, which has already
overawed the majority Of the most turbulent
dis,urbers of the peace.
