A CHANGE.

The Christian Times, of New York.
thus notices change in the sentiment as
to PsALM-sINerSo YANKEES -
There used to be few grains of
prejudice agaist these peculiar people. OF
roursc, it was entertained only by those
who had not the happiness of knowing
them. Those who have the honor of
personal and particular acquaintance, es-
teen them very highly for their many ex-
cellent qualities, but especially for the
ease and rapidity with which they every
where introduce the peculiar institutions
Of their early homes. Wherever they 60,
they carry with them the church, school
house. singing school, lyceum, newspaper,
bookstore, academy. college, not to forget
the sawmill, gristmill, and factories of all
sorts. In brief miniature New England
is sure to spring up in every territory or
state where fifty or more of these enter
prising people conclude to make a new
home In this way they have CONVEX
ted the great wilderness of the West
into an empire, whose proportions are al
ready both colossal and imperial; and
the prospect now is, that in the same
way, they will soonelay the foundations
of second empire, equally grand, in the
more Southern State of the Union.
ave are aware that the slight prejudice
to which We, at the outset, alluded has
not been wholly unknown even in that
quarter, and that it is not yet entirely
extinct. Happily. however, we have evil
dence that this prejudice, founded in ig-
norancc is now on the decline and this
decline, we doubt not will be remarkably
rapid. The proofs of this are various.
We should iufer it from general princi-
pies Formerly the Yankee was believed
to be sneak and coward. Now they
know better How they learned this,
what the lesson has cost them, it not ma
terial to inquire. Suffice it to say. that
the Yankee-is looked upon in aoholly diff
.ferent hight from vhat he aoas a fen gears
since. While the West always welcomed
him as just the sort of man she wanted
to do her work, develop her resources, and
maintain her honor, the South sneered at
him as too nasal in conversation, and too
fond of Psalms in music.
" But great man can afford to wait,
to bide his time. and SO can a great peo-
pile. THE Yankees wouM not settle IN the
South when they k,sew that, curing to the
above-nanaed pscu!iarities, they were not
acamted Noao they are aoanted there, and
pe opine they wiU heed The call.
e, = "Only let one speak at time; for af-
ter all that New England has done in the
way of colonizing new States. we are not
sure that she could. at the shortest notice,
spare cons enough to occupy at once all
the waste places of the South. 1t accord
ed with the eternal fitness Of things that
tho States nearest New England sh ould be
the first to discover the real worth of this
race, and to appreciate the great wealth
which, in few years, its presence would
add to the South. Accordingly, Delaware,
noble little Delaware, is the first to open
her eyes to these facts, so long patent to
the rest of the world, and the first to ex.
tend cordial invitation to the freemen Of
the North to come down South and put
things to rights
This is no joke. We are dealing
with simple facts. which we do not exagger-
ate in the least. Be it known, then, to all
men, that many of the leading citizens,
including some Of the highest officials of
the State of Delaware, have society 10
favor Northern emigration into that state,
and have issued an interesting circular,
which we should be glad to publish. if
its great length did not necessarily cx-
clude it from our columns. This society
is styled The Delaware Improvement AS
sociation,' and controls much of the most
valuable land in the state along the line
Of the Delaware Central Railroad, which
runs north and south through the centre
of the state, midway between two noble
bays. tho Delaware and the Chesapeake
