The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1861-06-27

The greatest evil which the South has ~ ap-
nrchend in the future is the vast immigration
from the United States and other foreign
countries, especially the former, which will be
s,oured upon our shores. When FoRsrY, of the
philadelphia Press declared that it would be
true economy in the North to spend hundred
millions year rather than permit the South TO
DE independent, he did not over-ostimate the
annual commercial and manufacturing value
OF the South to the Northern States. indeed,
the immense expenditures and efforts making
TO compel us to remain in the Union, and
minister TO the wealth and power OF the sor-
did, selfish end vulgar money lords OF The
Northers cities demonstrate irresiSu6!y that,
wi,bns, the South, the North is commercially
r-psr~,. and her great cities in the midst of
vsatacious aspirations are hopelessly paralyzed
in trade and commerce. They themselves
admit the fact they no longer SO much as at
tempt to conceal that the "poor, barren,
sandy South" is full of jewels which
have made them rich, and without which,
they become penniless and bankrupt.
This is the reason, and the only reason, why
New York, never an abolition city, has sur
passed even the Western Reserve of Ohio IN her
fury against the South. But whilst all this Is
undeniably true, il is equally evident that, rs
soon as Peace is accomplished, and the IN
dependence of the South secured, these very
classes, the commercial and manufacturing,
which have furnished the sinews of the pres
ent war; which have surpassed the most rabld
sbolitionists in their bloody demonstrations
against the South, which have raised regi
ments like Billy wills MS and held up before
them the prize of "Bcauty and Booty will
make another movement of invasion compared
with which those now threatening our borders
sre comparatively harmless and forsaking the
sinking ships of the Northern cities, will
swarm like locusts in our Southern marts,
grasping every department of business and
trade, and reaping in their own pockets the
manufacturing and commercial harvest which
is sure to follow the Southern blood and trea-
sure which they have caused to flow like water
In this great cause.
1t is clear as day; nobody now denies it,
that with the ndepen dence of the South, the
commercials ceptre passes from the North, and
with that sceptre, mark the prediction, will
pass by tens of thousands and by hundreds
CT thousands those who have hitherto &C
knowledged allegiance to it. Where the car
case is, the eagles will be gathered together
Hitherto the emigration from North to South
has been mere drop in the bucket compared
with that from the North to the West, and has
not been as large even as that from the South
to the North. But we shall see very differ
ent state Of things when the South holds ou'
rich rewards to manufacturing and CONNER
cal enterprise. Unless measures adopted
by the Congress aud Legislatures of the Con
federate States to meet this new invasion
our own people will lose all the fruits of the
war; their institutions will be endangered land
what is worse than all, the purity and sim
rlicity of Southern character placed il
perilous contact with the sordid and corrup
influences which overgrown wealth has engen
dered in Northern society.
This subject is really one of the most serious
and vital that can possibly engage the at
tention of Southern statesmen. Our Southern
by such an Unread than by a million of arme
men. AS enemies, we fear them not rs pro
fessed friends, with trade in view, heave
deliver us. We have no need Of them, or Q
anything they have-their brown paper sol
ehoes, their wooden buckets, their hollow phi
losophy, their sanguinsry religion, their spi
ritualsm, Mormonism, Free Love or Abolition
ism. We can get every article we need of Gle
thing, household and agricultural wares, an
in every department Of business, from Englan
and France, and these articles will be made i
workmanhke fashion, by people who have nc
learned to think it mark of smartness and
subject of graduation to rob your neighbor.-
But, unless naturalization laws are passed {
the most stringent kind, the Northern emigrs
ton will not only monopolize trade and CON
merce. but will commence, at the ballot boz
An insidious war upon our institutions, and
the aid of corrupt and aspiring demagogue
who will court their influence, will undermiI
the system of slavery in what were called th
Border Slave States, and prepare the wa
TO cultivate them entirely by Norther
labor. 1t is for the Confederate Col
gress, and the Legislatures Of the South,
throw up earthworks against this, the create;
of all dangers which menaces the South
The right of suffrage should never be extende
by any slave community which properly appr'
ciates that right, and has any solicitude for Il
preservation Of slave institutions, to any EN-
grant from the Northern Abolition States
America.
