great sensation has been caused anu
much offens taken, not only by Bra 1
zilians, but by residents from the Uni
ted States, at a short article which APP
peared in the Herald, of date late III
November. 1865, based on statements
made in Southern States, to the effect
that there is not pure white man IN
the Brazilian Ministry, but that they
are all blacks and mulattoes. The de-
sign of these papers was evidently TO
discourage emigration to Brazil
Whether emigration from the United
States, North or South, is desirable
or not, is question apart; but 1t IS
wicked to misrepresent matters, with
the view Of either encouraging or dls-
couraging such movement.
