WHAT IS WANTED AT The SOUTH


The New Orleans Crescent, after al
ing its peculiar views Of what 1t tern
''Carpet Bsggery," proceeds in the 70
lowing sensible strain:
"But all this, we are told by the Bosto
merchant before referred to. is to be changed
snow that Grant is elected The North
he saws, now means business South, by tn
infusion of capital and emigration. 1her
can be but one reply to this all over tn
South. By ali means prosecute your inten
ton, and it will be met in cordial spirit o
reciprocation. BY all means keep free from
those fears about the South which you sa,
vanished when Grant was elected. Send US
honestly. your surplus working muscle, you
idle capital your business enterprise yearn
ing for new fields of exploitation, and, de
pend upon it, the politics Of these mission
aries will never be Extensively questioned
Long neglected resources and opportunities
expect their coming with passionate waiting
and will reward it with corresponding fervor
and prodigality.
The country at large, and the true
friends of the South in particular, may
congratulate themselves over the sig
niScant utterauce of Grants to the
effect tha; it will be ore grand object Of
bis administration to guarantee free
speech and free press everywhere
throughout the United States. The fact
is patent, that in the extreme South
liberty of speech and Of expression of
sentiment through the press is as much
stifled now, and by the same bad means,
as during the palmy days Of slavery
Il is, to day, as much as an "aboli-
tionists" life is worth to vent bis
political views, unprotected b. the mill
tary powers, in the South. We talk in
dignantly of the oppression by Louis
Napoleon of the freedom of the pen and
CT utterance in France 5u: in the most
tyrannical moods Of that daring usurper
be has never instituted a censorship of
the Paris press half so rigid and unjust
as that which is maintained in Mis-
sissippi and the bordering States.
While this state of affairs continues the
South is practically barred to such
Northern immigration as the Crescent
says it is open to welcome and receive.
For the character of men from whom
that paper expects lasting benefits must
be allowed to take all their freedom
With them, and be unhindered in their
light to exercise it, or they will remain
where they are. In ether words, the
south must accept the great revolution s
3 it finds it ; must consent to its own r
generation upon the new plan which L
be abolition of slavery has called up !: q
I'D must reciprocate, in peaceable, lib
raj conduct, the advantages which its ."
etter citizens hope to receive from the :
enterprising, wealthy men ;,
the North. There is no doubt that =,
lany UNIV ortby men from the free States II
ought 10 make political capital TO them II
elves out of the misforiunes brought 81
pom herself by the South !; but vio OF
nee, social ostracism and hard names =

iii. Fraternity, protection and hon I'll
able dealing, a courteous interchange ca
ciriliries, and, above all, a thorough or
ieration of political differences are N
dispensable to the inauguration Of hi
an
9 era of prosperity so much desired. b
rants strong arm can do much toward II

'uth but it remains for the Southern fol
: to work out for themselves aud their M

lvency.
