our OWN opinion is that the negro will ma

become al white. But there need be nc

Virginia offers the highest inducements
10 capitalists and to laborers. They are
welcome from any quarter. But we espe-
c.al!y desire to see the practical and eNpe-
fenced northern people coming amongst

luciits OF manufacture. There is no preju-
dicc against them. 1t is misrepresentation
of the people Of Virginia that places them
Ia hostility TO the really earnest and worthy
rortGcrn men. They will welcome them at
all times.
We advise people not to be crazy about
immigration and emigration. They will go
on in the proper way under causes that are
natural and that will be altogether fayora-
lie to Virginia. Nor should we despair il
