Gov. BRAMLETTEis MESSAGE

In our brief synopsis of this document
or yesterday, we were compelled, for
want Of space, to omit some points Of
Importance, and among them the posi-
ton taken in regard TO the constitutional
amendment. He says:
The resolution submitting the pro-
posed amendment does not come TO Us
with the sanction Of twO-thirds Of the
members chosen by the several states to
the house Of representatives and senate,
twenty-five senators, chosen by eleven
states, and fifty-twu members Of the
| house Of representatives, chosen by the
people of eleven states, not being admit
| ted to seats nor counted in the pretended
passage Of the resolution, and Is not
| therefore constitutionally submitted.
He arrays himself squarely against the
Capitalization of power attempted TO be
established by the Federal Government,
aud says that the destruction Of the re-
served rights Of the states is the over
throw OF free government. He says:
II is idle to propose amendments TO a
constitution, the existing provisions Of
which are held at naught by those pro
! POSING AuE dAlCLtulNillSs A-@b AIt LA'
! learn 20 obey that which airesScE arr
before proposing amendments thereto.
In the language Of my inaugural ad-
! dress, a departure from CONSTITUTIONAL
/ faith is the foundation Of the evils now
upon Us. 4 return is the only perma-
nent remedy.
On the whole We fad much to COM
mend in the tone Of this message, and
more particularly in that portion in
which reference is made to the necessity
/ Of a general amnesty. Our Chief Ex-
ecutive might learn a lesson from the
experience of Gov. BRAMLETTE in this
matter. He closes with the following:
Pledges to support and maintain =
government may be written on paper,
but they can only be given in the heart
The voluntary canEent % support and
maintain a government il the only trae
! pledge. This cannot be obliged by a
policy in conflict with constitutional
right, and which Expresses and aliases
those from whom the pledge is exaCted.
A true craftsmanship eve yields prin-
ciple 90 the fears Of the timil, the hate
Of the sectional, the eEactions of the
covetous, nor the desires of the partisan.
II these should be discarded from our
national councils the wisdom OF the con
stitutiou viii prevail, the hopes OF the
patriot revive, discOrds he ended and
our security established.

The five leading journals of Paris con-
tain long and circUmstantial accounts OF
q distinguished engineer whose head
was turned perfectly white by a most
frightful dream. The engineer had
visited q rough and uufreQuented
mineral region for the purpose
Of exploring and reporting to the
company Of capitalists upon the richness
of a certain mine. The night Of his arri-
val, and before he descended into the
mine, he lodged at a small inn, and after
~devOuriHg a pound or two Of pork chops,
went 10 bed. he dreamed that he had
visited the mine and w2s being hauled
up, when he discovered that the rope
was almost severed, and there was ouly
a single strand to support his weight,
and that Of the bucket in which he
was being drawn up. Suddenly, when
he had assembled two hundred
feet, the rope, be dreamed, gave
way, and he uttered a fearful shrek,
which aroused the inmates Of the
house, and when they burst open the
door Of the dreamer'5 room, they found
4 white headed man In tie place OF the
black headed young gentleman who had
retired a few hours before. The story is
well authenticated, and his is the first
instance on record of a mans hair hsv-
ing been turned white from the effects
OF a dream.

By far the largest proportion of the
passenger business is done by steamships.
1t will be observed that during the first
and second years OF the late wsr there
was a falling of Of very nearly one half
from what it was IN 1850, and that since
that period the number has been stead
lily on the increase. The immigration
for 1866 il greater than for any year
s$lee 1854. How much Of this vast nuI-
titude has contributed 10 the increase Of
our wealth and prosperity? Absolutely,
not a mar. Is 1t surprising, under this
state OF thirgs, that we have stood still
for the last half a century, while the
west, %springing frem the zane brakes
and marshes Of al Hlimitable forest, hes
ou~t-stripped The imagination Of man in
it's cafeer Of greatness ?
It may be worthy Of consideration
whether the older and less fertile
states Of the south may not advance
more rapidly than the younger
and less productive ones. The
Soil Of the former is too thin TO justify
the planter in paying the negro such
wages IS be can obtain in the latter.
On this account The large plantations oil
the old states will be broken into small
farms and occupied by the industrious
Celt or Teuuon, while the other states
OF the south wiz continue TO be cursed
by the presence Of the negro in their
midst and held hy this incubus in per.
petual yassalsge. thus the poorer will
become tie richer, snd the wealth Of The
southwestern soil will be the means Of
retardlng our material prosperity. So

TuOUGHTS N FACTS ABoUE FOR
EEGN ELABORATION

There has been an immense emiera-
zion 10 the United States this year,
enough 70 populate y new state but /
am sorry to see that so small a portion OF
il has found It's way 10 the south. II
measures to turn the tide in that direc-
ton are not speedily adopted, 1t will be
too late.
This is the closing paragraph Of an
abIe letter from the European Cores
pondent of the Richmond Times, and
presents matter for U serious conside-
ration. The southern press and people
appear at last TO be awaking to the JIM
portanee of increasing our population as
a necessary means for developing our re-
sources and adding to the material pros
perity Of our section. One state, atleast,
South Carolina has taken a step in the
right direction and promises fair to
be the leader in u agricultural,
mechanical, and commercial progress,
as she was in our political. May her
leadership be more fortunate in its result
in the former than in the latter, and be
the means Of achieving through the arts
of nesee what the srbitrament Of arms
failed to attain. The step referred to is
an act lately passed by South CsTolina
for the purpose of " encouraging, pro
noting and protecting European immi-
grafton " and its provisions are as fol-
lows It appoints a commissioner,
whose Office Is to be in Charleston. He
is to advertise for lands for sale, and to
have them laid off, lated and de-
scrlbed, and offer them to immigrants.
The commissioner, from time 10 time, is
TO publish and cause to be distributed il
northern and European ports and states,
descriptive lists Of such lands, together
with this act, and a statement Of such
advantages as the state offers to the inn
migrant. Several agents also are to be
employed for the more efectual carrying
out OF the act. The commissioner is also
charged with the protection Of all imDli-
grants, and the furtheranee Of their m
terests, and all officers OF the state a-s
required to aid him in this.
We have before remarked, in refer
ence to this subject, that such measures
as this, on the part Of the states Of the
south, were absolutely necessary 10 turn
the tide Of immigration from the vest TO
the south, that individual enterprise
was unable TO compete with the vast
monied associations Of the north, whose
interest it is to increase the populatiou-of
their own section, and that without il
we must ever remain the hewers Of
wood and drawers Of water TO our late
antagonists. As much averse as our
people have always been 10 change, to
~innoY4tion upon the good old way of
their fathers, and therefore to all prog
ress, We may reasonably hope that they
are now prepared 10 receive the axio-
matte truth that population is essential
10 the development of the resources OF a
country, and that the power, wealth and
prosperity Of a state does not depend {
upon the extent Of its territory.
We clip the following from the Louis
vile Courier as pertinent to the matter
In hand: {
