Republican Opinion Of Foreign Born Cit.

We publish the following extract from 4.
speech from John M. Wilson. a Republican
candidate for Congress, in Indiana. Whs,
do intelligent citizens Of foreign birth ,hiut
Of party that endorses such sentiments, By
elevating the author 10 official position-
We think his elevation dangling at the end
Of rope would be more appropriate:
"And il these ignoble rai,ble, born in III.
old world, thought that it would TO day al.
vance their interests, they would advance
their interests, they would trampe their

They toll me that many foreigners are intel.

We must alter the laws Of this country ID
prevent this ignorant and degraded raLble

disguise The life of an exile is at best sad one,
severed IS he is from home and its sweet assocla-
tons, and surrounded by strangers, to whom bis
sorrows and his misfortunes are matter Of indif-
ference. But when to this are added the pangs OF
poverty shutting off all hope ola return to the
scenes and friends of more prosperous days. 1t Do
comes fate from which any man may well shrink.
It is therefore more prudent, as well as more pa
triotic, for a man to cling to his native land and
assist in rebuilding her broken fortunes True,
these are very much shattered by the reverses she
has borne, but ''in union there is strength" We
are all poor together, with few exceptions, and
have a heavy load of debt and taxes to sustain !;
but vigorous effort by every individual of a uni
ted people can, in time, bring us through our diff
culties. The South cannot be crushed forever !;
hostile legislation may for awhile bind up our ener-
gies but interest," if not jrstice will finally compel
our enemies to break the bonds. The nation draws
too large portion of its material resources from
our cotton and tobacco fields, to suffer them to be
long suppressed by Radical spite.
Let every man, then, stay at home and go to
work for himself and his country. He may lind 1t
uphill business, but he is more likely to get help
and to succeed here, than in Mexico or Brazil
Mexico is land of revolutions and continual up
heayings of society," as subject to eruptions as her
own volcanoes Brazil is discussing the subject Of
emancipation, with fair probability Of establish
ing an imitation of our own beautiful Freedmen
Bureau" with all the blessings that flow there
from. All who have had their curiosity satisfied
about war, will find it to their interest to keep
away from those countries, and there is no better
prospect anywhere than at home. We have had
our fight theirs is just ahead.

IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS.

Many persons in this District have failed to pay
their taxes for the past year. This is more partc-
ularly true of the freedmen, who have but vague
idea of the responsibilities they have incurred since
they became free. Very many Of them can scarce
ly be made to comprehend that they can be.oom-
PEELED to pay their quota towards the support Of
the government They have fixed belief that the
Yankees will, somehow or other, interfere to save
them, whenever they are called to pay out money
It has sometimes happened, also, that white men
have advised freedmen not to pay their pol-taxes,
under the impression that these could not be COL
lected. This is serious injury to the freedmen,
who are thus exposed to the penalty of double tax
es. besides becoming liable to imprisonment in the
event of their inability to pay. To relieve the
minds Of all who have not paid their taxes, wheth
er white or coored, Of all doubt on the subject we
publish the resolutions of our Legislature in refer
ence to defaulters and invite their special atten-
ton to the last resolution.
Resolred, That it is not only fair, right and pro-
per, but essential to order and government, that
the payment of taxes levied under Act of the Leg
iaature at its last regular session should be equally
enforced against all who are liable to pay them !;
therefore,
Resolred, That the Comptroller General do re-
lre the shers of the several districts to enforce
the collection of the tax executions against all de-
fauling taxpayers

FREEDMEN,s BUREAU FEES.

1t will crafty those of our readers who have had
experience in the ways of the Freedmen's Bureau,
to learn that some of the cashextracting privileges
of that philanthropic institution are to be taken
from it. Gen. Howard, the guardian angel of the
concern, has issued the following circular:
Hereafter, and until further orders, no fees OF
charges will be exacted by officers OF this Bureau
for services rendered in making contracts between
freedmen and their employers, either in examining
approving, witnessing or negotiating contracts.
He further recommends written contracts in pre-
ference to verbal, and urges Bureau agents to Sc
cure contracts for freedmen, ettingt be understood
while 50 doing, that no charge is to be made fol
their services of this nature. Let our readers
then, hereafter approach the awe-inspiring pres
ence of the Bureau agent with less fear of bleeding
from the pocket vein.

THE EXILES RETURNING.

Nearly all of the prominent Southern men who
went abroad upon the downfall of the Confederate
cause, to seek in foreign lands that domestic ease
and tranquility which, they supposed could no
longer be enjoyed at home, have returned. Gen.
MAGRUDER is in New York; General STERLING
PRICE has gone back to Missouri, and Gov. HAIR.
RIs, to Tennessee; and others of less note have
followed dtheirexample. Generals BRECKENRIDGE,
EARLY, and TOoMBs, and JUDAH P BENJAMIN
are about all the noted Confederates still abroad and
their protracted absence is, perhaps, not entirely
voluntary.
The moral to be drawn from these facts is, that
Southern men can do no better in other lands than
in their own, and therefore, they had better remain
here The distinguished men of the South, those
who possess the prestige of military renown and
worldwide reputation as a kind of capital to go
upon have failed to make permanent Judgement
upon foreign soil. How then, can their obscurer
brethren hope to succeed, who have not equal ad-
vantages to enlist the sympathes of strangers? In
most cases, they Strengthened for means, igno-
rant of the language and customs of the country
to which they would go, and without friend Or
even an acquaintance. outside of their native land
Yet many have been so discontented with the state
of things in the South, since the surrender of our
armies, that they set out in the face of all these
to try their fortunes in q foreign
land. And many more would have gone; had they
not been detained by that great hindrance to mighty
undertakings, a want of cash. 1t costs money to
migrate to Mexico or Brazil, the principal Eldora-
dos of Southern emigration, and it was not every
body who had the power to pick up his traps and
start off, whenever the notion struck him.
But to Judge from the experience Of our "big
mel" this deficiency in the financial department,
though usually curse was to them blessing in
