Ihe NASHVILLE DNOHt winch IS one OF
the most lively as we'll as the most use
ful journals in the country, hopes "to see
a hundred thousand German emiarants
settle in Tennessee in the next two
years" IL adds: "We are tired of ef-
fete aristocracy; give us honest working
men in their place"
Tennessee is, in regard to climate, soil
and other advantages, one of the finest
States in the Union. It's valleys are
among the pleasantest and richest and
its mountains among the grandest in the
country; and the people, except in the
western part of the State, near the Mis-
sissippi, are loyal to the Union and TO
liberty. Here thousands of industrious,
peaceable foreigners can find a pleasant
home, with work in abundance, in the
iron mines, or the fertile fields of the
State.
One good result of the thorough sha-
king up which the rebellion has given to
the slavery question is, that henceforth
emigrants from Europe and from the
Eastern States will no longer have to
travel half across the continent, TO Iowa
or Minnesota, to buy cheap and pleasant
homes; but these classes will henceforth
seek-and be sought blythe Central
States, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
as well as Maryland and Delaware.
These States could do nothing now more
advantageous to their interests than to
send responsible and capable agents TO
Europe to induce emigration to their
borders. s.-Ne,O York Post
Tennessee loyalists can make choice
between two propositions EXCLUSION
and certain exhaustion, decay, and bank
ruptcy; or IMMIGRATION and rapid re-
covery from the ills and disasters of
war. The case is so clear that it hardly
needs argument. We know that hun
dreds Of our small farmers and mechan-
les have left the State for the North
west, and we know that multitudes more
will follow them, if Tennessee is allowed
20 pass again into the hands of the sell
fish and remorseless oligarchy, which
has brought her TO the verge of ruin
The old policy and old ideas will not
only exclude the population necessary
to revive and restore the State, but will
certainly expel from our midst many OF
our best citizens, whom neither pride Of
character, self-interest, nor domestic
peace, will suffer TO remain under the
ihsOlent domination of the wealthy fac
ton which sold the State TO the Slave
Oonfederacy. 1t is frightful TO contem.
plate the effect Of this policy of ex.
clusiOn upon our Commonwealth. MeT
of moderate means would sell theil
homes and property for mere trifle to I
few men of means, and the real estate O
Tennessee would pass rapidly into The
hands of a nobility, more Independent
than ever of the people. 1t would
be to the interest of these men to driv,
away all save landowners and slave
holding would be made the test Of citi
= zenship. The public works of the State
her banks, institutions of lek.ning, be
neyolent institutions, all her Corpora
tions, would be swept overheard, anC
nothing be left upon the wreck save
few slave holders. This would be th
condition of affairs supposing that th
policy of the exclusionists could be sue
eessful. BUTT could not be there is N
possibility that the shareholders coul'
survive the general ruin which thel
might bring upon others. They mus
perish with the others.
Instead, therefore, of repelling indus
trious immigrants, let us adopt wis
and liberal policy which shall proyid
for the interests Of the many instead 0
the few. When politicians legislate 70
the benefit of the few, they injure th
many when they legislate for the goo
of the many, they also benefit the few
Let us adopt a policy which will ca
forth at as early day as possible a
the resources of THE great State; VIII
let her fine and languish when there al
thousands of stout arms and true heart
| NAerily waiting NN AhNAtaAAOh
restore her to far more than he
ancient power? These deliverer
are not politicians, not gfice-h,mtey
not men IN search ofeontract'; 40, they al
the free, enlightened and industriou
yeomen Of the land, who will dig weall
from the soil, and earn their bread by II
' sweat Of their broWs. Suppose 25,OC
heads OF families immigrate to th
State, next year: if they bring with the
$500 each to invest here, the sum
Sl2, 100000 will be brought among u
Suppose these householders bring SlOC
5 each, the aggregate will be increased
SOS 100000 The superior soil, the d,
lightful climate, the excellent an
abundant water power and the Abun,
ance Of natural resources Of all Kin,
render it certain that the adoption Of
L wise policy on the part of the peOpl
will cause a grander tide Of immigrant,
n TO pour into Tennessee than ever poure
e into Illinois or Ohio.
