rhe Germans.

Tho Tennessee Journal, the German daily of Nash.
Vile, has the following comments on tho rccommeu-
dation Of the Governor for the colonization OF Ger
mans in the State
aThe Governor, in his message highly praises ths
Germans. While he recommends the Legislature 10
take steps for the encouragement of Immigration to
Tennessee from the Northwestern States, from
Germany and Switzerland, and thus aid in the work
Of restoring quiet order, and industry, he pays the
Germans compliment by saying they are the best
Of al. the different classes OF foreign Immigrants who
reach our shores not only respecting their loyalty
but also with regard to their indstry and diligence
snd their skin in all branches Of mechanics.
Well we do not think the Governor has said too
much, but such enccmiums are so unusual among
the Americans that we tender the Safe Executive
our heartest thanks for the complimeat
Wherever the German farmers ploighshare turns
the SOIL or the German merchant builds hisstore or
the German carpenter has his workbench, or the
German shoemaker his shop or where the German
soldier rattles his steel, or The German house wife
makes her butter and cheese, her spinning wheel
is heard to buzz are happiness and prosperity found
in the land. Therefore honor 20 the Governor and
honor to the Germans. Let Justice be done
