! The invitation was accepted, and
so was the pocket book Of his host,

There is another class that figure
in this same side. Some are in.
surance agents, Others venders Of
healing Salves, drugs, books, or
patent rights. They are fawnings,
sycophantic, will do and say any.
thing to please q man to the extent
OF a dollar.
In instances, men have pur.
chased land and settled on It, and
talked and acted in such manner as
to incur the dislike of their new
neighbors, obtrHding their political
opinions, as though their object in
moving South was to quarrel in
stead of work. The South is not
more disposed to tolerate such
classes than is the North. The
best class at the North do not res.
pect them; in fact, they are not
admitted in your good society. If
we of the South, however, do not
receive them with Outstretchcd
arms, we are reputed intolerant to-
ward the people Of the North.
1t is not to be wondered at, il
the presence of such classes as ]
have enumerated have made the
people of the South cautious, and
indisposed toward all whom they
do not know. 1t cannot be expect
ed that even your better citizens
will be made as welcome when
travelling through, or on their first
arrival among US, as after they are
better known.
We have thousands of Northern
men throughout the South,-men
Of enterprise, of wealth, of char.
acter, and who are respected and
highly esteemed. What they may
believe in politics is immaterial, so
long as they are deserving in other
regards.
Such are the men whom the
South stands in need of, and whom
she will welcome. She needs no
political brawlers, she is full to
running over with them. She
wants no agents of gift enterprises,
no vendors of wooden pumkin
seed.
To both capital and labor there
is open a field for profit in the
South such as is, in my opinion, to
be found nowhere else. Ifnot set.
tied rapidly just now, it neverthe.
less will be twenty years hence,
and those who settle first will pur.
chase lands cheapest, and avail
themselves of the finest openings
to wealth. To the young men
more espeCially--the field is invit-
ing, aud to all who are industrious
and otherwise deserving, fortune
awaits. Idlers will thrive as lily
with US as elsewhere. We want
hands to make, and not to con-
sumo. We want labor and capital
to build up cities, construct rail-
ways and factories. For all who
will lend hand and purse and heart
to such material developments, we
have a welcome. For all who
come with guarantees of good
standing North, or who prove
in our midst deserving
esteem socially, we have a vel.
rome.
Such are my own sentiments and
l believe them to be those of al
most the entire people of the South.
