The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1869-05-25

There seems TO be an unusual ana
remarkable influx Of our northern
neighbors TO The States, this Spring
We take the following remarks on the
subject from the New York Mercantile
Journal:
While the American press is deluged
with mass Of rubbish about the forci-
BILE Wrestling Of Canada from Great
Britain, expeditions across the border,
etc, the Canadians are solving the ques.
ton in very practical and decisive
manner, to wit, by ca3erlug Themselves.
In other words, concluding that il the
mountain will not come to Mahomet,
Mahomet must go to the mountain, the
muzlled men Of the New Dominion ate
literally pouring over into the United
States
The migration TO which we refer has,
in plain terms, assumed a shape that
portends tho actual depopulation Of
certain districts within short time
The Pays, Of Montreal, a well informed
and reliable paper, states on the author
ity Of respectable correspondents, that
in the one parish they mention, there
are forty houses standing idle and
closed because their occupants are gone
and have left no successors. One train
from St. Jean had four passenger cars
full Of people leaving the country, as
though they were escaping ( ON pes
tilenco. And these are not all persons
Of restricted means either; many have
houses, lands, and money in bank. AT
ST. jacques there resides farmer
worth 500, in real estate, who has
come over to New York to select an
other home for himself and family
Tie calculation Of the organs Of French
opiuion, in this city aud Canada, is
that the hegira amounts TO between
zoe and 500 souls per week Seventy
three families recently arrived at ST.
Adams, VT on their way to California
and Montana
That very intelligent and carefully
edited paper, the Nouyeau Monde, sta
ted in it's issue Of Apr. Is, that it had
received dispatch announcing the
passage Of hoo thousand Canadians
through St Adams. for Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island, all loudly complain
ing Of the wrctched condition Of things
in the region they had left The Wit
ness, a paper Published in the parish Of
st Helena, says that 81 $50 Inhabitants
in the place some time ago, only ~ re
main, the rest having left for the Uni
ted States; aud the township Of STAN
ford, which recently could boast Of its
ten blacksmiths, is now threatened
with total dearth Of those useful me
chanics, the former LOT having departed,
with bag and baggage. for the Great
Republic, along with large delega-
ton Of other residents.
Moreover, this emigration, which
once was confined TO the other proVin-
ccs, has now extended to Nora Scotia,
aud become epidemic there. The Nor
