TIE invasion which the South has most 70
fear |. that which will occur IA coon as peace
IL made. This is subject eminently worthy
the attention of Congress and OF the State
Legislatures. We eonfess that on this roir'
oar approximations are great, and that We
sometimes fear that, after hostil!siss have
ceased. the South will como again a. com
plstsly under the commercial domino

would be such a sequel Of the war, it is among
the possiti tiles, and if The war ia short, ii is
probable as we'll AZ possible. Ii peace were
declared TO MORROW, unless Their. are stringent
legislative enac.men's TO prevent it, there are
men Ia every S,u'hern community who
wonld hurry ON by the next train for North
srn goods, and the frs. through ca 9 from the
Northern cities would bring Yankee drum

Oar own iaiant III ,nufctori-s would be
nipped in the bud; hons industry and enter
p'iss Of every kind strangled; Yankee shoes,
clothes, carriages, agricultural implements,
cotton and WOODEN goods, school tooke. lying
histories and filthy weekie, be again ptddled
&; every counter. We commend this subject
most earnestly to Congress-. There are dlti
cnlsies and perpiexities, we are aware, in cd
sabishing system which shall prevent these
evils but uniess they can be proven ed, we
are d xhirg for Q shadow and a name, and
would better at once lay down our arms.
IL regard to the danger that Yankee enc
mics will transfer their business aud themselves
II the South after the War, We have heard it
50 ggested that this hi ght be obviated by re-
curing Of all foreign ersigrants who desire
naturalization or residence an oath that they
have not been engaged in the present war
against tho South, AMI in the event that it is
afterwards shown that they have perjured
themselves, to couiscate all their property
1t Is evident that stringent laws must be
adopte in regard to the exercise Of the right
Of suffrage by all future emisrants TO the
South. Either high freehold 9ualifca.
ton, or the possession Of negro property. or,
if DO other means will meet the case, the en-
tire exclusion from any such franchise of all
future emigrants from tho North except by
special act Of Congress. We have never been
able to see why our WI country nien should
make this boon Of suffrage cheaper than it is
In any other country On the earth In q cat
Brkain, as free and prosperous ma ion as the
world ever saw, neither our own countrymcn
nor naives Of auy other country are per-
1nitted to vote except by special act of Para-
nen'. Whist existing rights of residents
before ths war ought Of course to be respect
cd, we should r.joice to see q total prohiDi.
ton VI suffrage to ali Nor,herners who shall
hereafter make the S,uth their hcme--a home
whose insituticns they have assalIed by the
sword, and will undermine, unless watched
aud prevented 10y their mere dangerous arts.
