Well Put.

A Richmond paper, frightened at the pros
poets of Northern immigration, holds forth
against the peaceful invaders in the following
warning strain:
Alabama, within one year of peace, begins
with 5000 Northern cotton planters. 1t is
frightful to think where she will end. There
is not a single Southern State in which this
process-this fatal process-of New England
colonization is not going on. We must stop
it, and from this hour; we must resolve to
stop it before it enwraps and crushes us in its
anaconda folds. We do not mean that it must
be stopped by aresort to violence, or any un-
warrantabie means, but by refusing, as we
have the right to do, to sell our lands, or any
part of them, or lease or tenant them out to
Radical enemies of the South. >
To which the New York Tribune pithily re-
plies as follows: ~
Stop it, 10y all means. Resist to the last
ditch the operation of natural laws; use Mrs.
Partington's broom against the ocean-tide: /:
don't ssn your lands where you can get the
best price for them; keep all your cotton to
wrap your prejudices in. and beg at home
rather than borrow from the North. There is
too much of the enlarging process to make
the naIrOw-heads of Richmond feel comf0rta-
ble-so shut the floodgates; keep out cyan
kee" school-books and school teachers, CYAN
kee" engineers, "Yankee" factory owners,
"Yankee" planters, yankee" manufacturers,
"Yankee" capital. Keep the North from go
ing South to buy, SO that the South shall be
forever privileged to come North and beg.
That is what the exclusive policy plainly
means; and we tremble to think what will be-
come Of the South as it was-what vast and
complicated disasters of wealth, population
and enlightenment will overwhelm and change
it altogether if this cozy little policy is not
conserved. What will become of those high
minded gentlemen on horseback WHO treat
their bread with contempt.
