If Yankee ora company of Yam

Southern, ask you to give from one to
twenty thousand dollars for insuripg
your life, you will give it freely, and

will profit you more than for you to

Talk about the ignorant negro being
so easily duped blythe Yankee, and
they as easily wind you around their
finger. One Yankee Snowman forced
me to take change for one dollar, when
I had given him Eve, by having man
standing by him to swear that only
gave him one dollar. Profit by my

Mr.. Editor: Some are opposed TO
white immigratioa on the supposition
that they will only serve to swell the
radical ranks. In other words will
affiliate with the negro in preference
to the whites. Intelligence will rule
ignorance, and if we allow the radicals
to win them over it will prove that
the right men arc in the right place.
Do you suppose the ewner Of land will
support the party that will tax him
out of his land ? Contrary to nature.

In any shape-we can give little Of
what we have to save the balance, or
be forced to lose all like We did the
negro. If we had plenty of small
white farmers, who were accustomed
to do thoir own work and were per.
fectly willing and content to do it, we
could get and keep possession Of the
government, and would be able to
utilize the negro labor, for when q
radical negro would come to them to
hire, they would say you black radi.
cal imp, Of Scott, go ON about your
business. The negro would begin to
realize that he had sold himself to the
devil, and that there was hereafter.
Farming is carried on mostly by the
negro, not only the work, but the
planting. What would you think of
a merchant leaving his business to be
managed by set Of negroesl Every
one knows these, things as we'll as do,
yet you do not reflect seriously upon
them. You know how free labor has
worked in other countries, and will
work the same way here whether YOU
will 1t or not. If you oppose your
selves to the current of progress, YOU
will be swept away by its irresistable
power. If you oppose the introduc.
tion Of white people into the country,
the radicals will make the country 80
odious to you that il will be impossi-
bic for you to remain here. Steer
your boat angling across the current
and not directly across or You will be

Now is the time for the South to be
working. We have made the Yam
KEGS squall. Let us find out how we
did It, and continue to make them
squall. They will be smarter in the
future and II we do not work hard
