were glad to learn from him that ispros.

favorable. Judge Van Dyke is known to

not justifiable, in the present
emergency in looking to other
sources for labor.

an abundance of laborers, then

Please accept my thanks for

deayor, with the patience of

lief that "all things work to-
gether for the good of those

A leading object with me for
years, indeed from early youth,
has been so to live-so to con-
duct myselfin all things-so to
discharge, by the assistance of
Divine Grace, all the duties of
this probationary term, as to
be ready to leave this sphere of
existence for another, a bright

the summons for my departure
may come. This world, how

Hush the whirlwind of my will
With Thyself my spirit fill;
End-in calm this busy week
Let the Sabbath gently break.

Fain my soul to Thee would rise,
Disentangle me from time -
Lift me TO purer cline;
Let me cast away my load
Let me now draw nigh to God:
Gently, loving Jesus. speak
End i'll calm this busy week.
Draw the curtain of repose,
While my weary eyelids elosei
Steal my spirit while rest
Give me dreanIings pure and blest;
Raise me with cheerful heart
Holy Ghost thyself impart;
Then the Sabbath day will be
Heaven brought down to earth and me.

Communicated
Europeans as Laborers on
Southern Plantations.

So much has been said about
the white, or Caucasian race
being physically unable to la
borin our cotton and cane fields,
that [ am apprehensive that
the impression has gone abroad,
extending even to other coun-
tries, that white people are not
able to labor in our climate.
AS I see no necessity at pres
ent for referring to whatever
may have originated that idea,
I shall at once proceed to state
some facts which will prove
clearly enough, at least to my
own satisfaction, that that idea
is erroneous. til
In the times of slavery, | saw
many Irishmen at work, during
the months of summer, in this
State, on the levees of the Mis-
sissippi river. 9
Now that is supposed to be
one of the most malarious dis
tricts in the South, and yet
those Irishmen labored there,
seeming to suffer far less from
sickness than the same number
Of negro laborers would have
suffered under similar circum-
stances. H4 osj
While travelling in Western
Texas, in a latitude as far South
as that Of Baton Rouge and
even that of New Orleans, |
passed through some German
settlements" which term to ex-
plain, it is only necessary for
me to say, that they are tracts
Of country of variable extent,
almost exclusively, ifnot entire
ly inhabited by the Germans.
L found those Germans to be
what might be strictly termed
a farming people, relying al
most entirely upon the proceeds
oftheir farms for a living; and
differing altogether from that
class Of Texans who depend
chiefly upon stock-raising for a
support. Those Germans were
cultivating their fields with
their own hands, and yet / do
not remember to have seen a
more thrifty, and at the same
time a more vigorous and
healthy looking yoemanry in
any latitude.
Every country gentleman of
observation, will upon refec-
ton remember some old South
ern gentleman, at least one or
more, and for myself, l know
many, who now own comforta-
BILE homes for their protection,
and broad cultivated fields to
yield them support; and that
very property was earned by
their own bodily toll in the
fields of this latitude.
[ see no need of further evil
dence to establish any opinion
on this subject, and will now
suggest that | believe the time
to have arrived when it is
greatly to our interest to have
those impressions which 1 con-
ceive to be false, corrected
first with ourselves, and then,
if possible, with our Northern
neighbors and the Europeans.
IF we can make them under
stand that they may labor here
with aslittle risk to their health
as in the North, / see no reason
why much if indeed, not the
greater part of the European
emigration may not be directed
to our country, instead of IFS
