New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1866-09-24
IMMIGRATION 10 THE SOUTH,

The Chicago Republican Of late date
says
The New Orleans CRESCENT invites Immigration
To the South, under the heading, Come One,
Come An" Bat it does not mean all. Southern
society is designed to be somewhat select accord
ing to the CRESCENT. For example, it does not
want any violent revoludonists u see, those whe
may meet in peaceful prayerful convention for
the extension of suffrage or any such privilege.
And then 1T quotes as follows from the
CREscaNr,: ..-.-.,.-.-s-
Nordo we make political opiaion a bar to die
immigration which We desire. We welcome al.
without question as to theirxews on the Epoliueal
issues of the day, provided they be honest and IN
dustTious aad if they be ent 9rnrisipg snd intei-
gent SO much the better. All that we require is,
that they come as friends and not as enemies ];
that theira ish is 30 further theig by
furfhering the prosperity of the community INTO
which they come, instead of oensigning US, IKE
Tkaddeus Stevens to the lowest deeps Of TartafsIs
or Ike BRewnloW, to the gSbbet and the STAKE
We can tolerate the widest range of discussion
which dees net take the form Of vic sntTayoiatlens
because we believe that we are sufficiently strong
in She tIlth and justice Of orr carse 10 ach'e7e
success N tfieffolQm Treason.
Well, we iii 81 that means about.as nearly
all as cord reasonably beteSpeete2. When
we sylthat we hope toss4a -Nollhe44a people
come among us, regardless Of the, political
opinions, bet them be radicals, censel natives
or DenooTats, we link we cannot justly be
accused of !atolerance.gs We doSnot lTnow that
any greater degiee of libere stg is exhibited at
the MOI il. In fact we remember having
heard thatimen have been hunted through the
streets IN SEINE of the most er6ghtenf cities
of that section on .accornt of tileir religious
belief thei- churches burned end theirhouse1
ransael1ee We have even read descriptions
of a fearful sscenenos on iufuriated mob BUN
ing convent, and 4 lerge number Of pure,
delicate women t, led into the cold Winter
midnight because they happened TO be Catho-
lies. Az This has not happened very lately,
/ ii is tue, because the 1ibera1ity and hospi-
tally Of that section has been fully employed
E,for some years in hunting "rebal sympa-
diners end imp -soptag sscopperhaadsa
Now We dc not propose to bpll any
churches, to tuGn any iaofensiye women iuto
the streets, to halnt fsUniorists," or jmprison
radicals. Cutie the contra y. We ask everg-
body to come, only requesting the newcomers
to be honest eaa industrious; and yet the
Republican rather intimatss q certaiH sort ai
proseriptiveness ca orr patt.
Nor do we think that we depalt tom orr
platform Of universal liberation when We Ven
ture to say that we DO not like Brownlow and
Jack Fam lton and shat we think thei" room
far preferable to their.company. They think
that we an ought to be hung CT at least driven
out of the county, and they say it, to The no
small delectation, apparently, of er-apt1-ed
radical audiences. Wlaen men calls you a
Villain, and. declares that you ought 10 behung
you may be. excused rom rendering the eree-
dom of yore household to that antagoristicai
person; and even you might express a mod
erate degree sqf dislike towaydsahip without
being justly aaersed Of inhespita1!ty Of intol-
eraace.
Afteran we5zapeat what we haveEery often
said of late, that we hope to see population
flow into the Sonth from Ell quarters, and
aspects u fsom he Nolsh; and 4hatMedo not
care to inquire whether those who come
among us to act the lert Of good and 5iadus-
Eious citizens, are Gad;ce's, eonsei valves,
copperheads or Democrats. We want liNtng
men and women, epimated by intelligence,
stimulated by enter pltse, and goyeiaed by
honest attentions Aud, that's al We hope
that our platform is not uaduly intolerantand
sectional.
