AT the Immigration Convention held III
Richmond last December, the whole OF the
settlers present testified to the hearty wei
come given them. The Convention WAS
composed both of Republicans and Demo
Gratis, and the most gratifying unanimlty pre-
vailed on the subject of the relations between
northerners and southerncrS. After an elo-
ouent speech by Colonel Daniels, of the State
Journal, q prominent Conservative gentle

TRUE FACTS
of the case: In Prince Edward n northern
mechanic settled, and was literally patron

frst-rate trade, but for good reasons was
certainly not admitted to social friendship
by the better classes. A man of some edll-
cation, he chose to associate with the most
ignorant darkies. He and his family eat
with, slept with. danced with, and kissed
the blacks. BY consorting with the igno-
rant, he showed that he did not desire to be
on friendly terms with the educated. We're
the educated classes to blame If they accepted
this man ut his own price? DON'T KNOW
how "model Republicanism may regard
such cases, but from what have seen IN Inc
North think that social freedom in Amerl
ca. az In England, does not compel man t;
make friends OF those who reduce themselve;
to the lowest level of ignorance. There l.
no question Of color in this. The settlers il,
Virginia can choose their own bosom friends
and they will be quietly relegated to the as
sociates they prefer.
THE NEGROES,
whatever they may become, are at present ig

The Prince Edward settler to whom have

northern man, but he excluded himself from
good society. Other northern settlers in the
same section blamed him, and he finally be
