EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.
Georgia paper says that attention is
turning to Cherokee, Georgia, as q
region peculiarly inviting to emil
grants. Many farms have lately been
sold to persons from other portions
of Georgia, and from Tennessee, and
colonies from New York and Penn
sylvania. are expected soon. The
Memphis Appeal says:
'eWe see it stated in several New
York papers that there are at present
agents in that city from Memphis
and other Southern cities for the
purpose of procuring emigrants from
Europe to go South. They say that
poor and destitute emigrants are fur
nished with free passage, and that
during the past few weeks several
patches Of emigrants, mostly Ger
mans and Swedes, have been for
warded to various points in the South
to Memphis, Charleston and Sa-
yannah. Aparty of about fifty emf
grants who had just landed here were
forwarded to Memphis on the 18th
inst, and about $50 left for New
Orleans, Memphis and Little Rock
on the Saturday previous. It is con-
fidently anticipated that the Southern
agents will be enabled to divert emf
grafton and travel from the West to
the South, on account of the high
rates of fare on the Western railroads,
which, it seems, were raised to the
present high standard during the late
war. The poorer classes of the emil
grants are unable to paw these high
rates. It is also stated that quite
number of German emigrants, mostly
mechanics, have also left New York
for this city by way of New Orleans.
SO, in a short time, we may expect
the arrival of these emigrants"

= The Legislature has transacted no very
important business this week. On Wednesday
the paper money bin. was up for discussion,
but no final action was taken on it. The follow
ing petition from the merchants of Honolulu
was presented on Monday, and read again on
Wednesday. Objection was made by one of
the Ministers, to the reading OF the names on
Monday, and on application our reporter was
refused a copy Of it for publication. The
matter being brought before the House, by a
special note addressed to the Vice President,
permission has been obtained to print it:

argument of the writer is 80 ridiculously absurd,
that we are surprised that any one should enter
tain il for a moment. If the writer and his
colleagues are honest in their desire for the
:. consolidation Of the nation around the throne, ;"
we can suggest a plan which Will be heartily
endorsed by the people. infinitely more harm
less. but which might result in the loss, 10 them,
OF their portfolios.
Now what security have the people for the
redemption IN specie Of any paper money that
may be issued? The writer says:
Experience amply demonstrates tia; II Individuals may trust
one another according TO their real wealth they may trcs; much
nor efeitor Who resources arr 80 much more perfectly
tegray they eoafae their lives, fortunes, ani wel-bgins.
The events Of the past TWO years are too fresh
in the memory Of our people, for a writer TO
prate about = trusting" TO the :'solemn prom
ises and . legal obligations of the Minis
ter Of Finance or a ministry as faithless 10 their
trust as this has been. We have not forgotten
how the good kAUIKEAoULI, blessed be his
memory with his MOBILES and People, establish
ed a Constitution for the Realm. and proclaimed
the triple compact before High Heaven. Nor
how the Minister Of Finance (then Attorney
GENERALLY solemnly declared over his own sigma
ture that that compact should never be violated.
Nor how this same Minister of Foreign Affairs
stated in Convention that these :. solemn prom
ises should be respected at all hazards.
WHERE NOW Is TIE CONSTITUTION OF 1852?
Answer. you who seek u issue paper money on
the faith Of the Government, and sneerinclv
call for = plausible ohjecti,ns.'' Had England
ever repudiated her Magma Charta. where would
she have found a people 10 trust her for the sum
Of four thousand millions? Had America over
turned her Constitution, who would have loaned
her three thousand millions? : An indiyidual''
who breaks faith with his creditors or fellow
men, under any circumstances whatever, can
never ask again their confidence in business mat
tiers. Until some PREPARATION is made for the
p~ast,--until q ministry who has broken faith
with the people has retired from its service. the
that is said about the issue of paper money
and the sacredness of the public faith. the better
for all concerned. If a ministry can lie found
which will not hesitate to violate the holy obi
cations of Il nations CONSTITUTIONS. will it hest
tate to r~epudiate her national currency. should
1t ever become Il necessity or Il convenience?
