The FOLLY Of leaving The Country.

The following sensible remarks
are from that most excellent paper
the Galveston News
II is evidcnt that a considerable
proportion Of our population arc
anxious 10 be on the move for some
other country. The cause Of tAs
contemplated exodus is the political
condition of the country. How the
Tuxpanilos will do VIC cannot pre-
diet, but Mexico is wonderfully an
certain country, and .hey may Be
robbed and driven out A. soon o. they
&c, themselves comfortably settled
The reports of American emigration
to Brazil are not cheering letter.
lstcly published in tho Alahams
papers represent tho emirranA from
that State as being much disappointed
and anxious to gss back A little
reflection and knowledge Of facts

Improvement here on nh extensive
scale, There is nothing ut all in tho
way Of Southern development but tho
troubles created in connection with
the negro population. Taking tho
whole country together the negroes
coun, but about four millions, or loss,
while the whites number nearly forty
millions, Tho negroes will incrssss
very slosly, IL at all, while the whites
will receive large additions yearly
from Europe, besides their natural
increase. The negroes, placed IN an
unnatural position now by tempo

white race which will dissipata oil
ideas Of negro supremacy. Thsa,
we think, the South will prosper al

trials to which she has been subjected.
