with politics and some ever with their
votes. Taking 50 much for granted
we propose to call their attention more
particularly, than heretofore, to the
proposition of the Tennessee Immi-
grafton, Labor and Real Estate Asso-
citation. Desiring 10 advance all the
interests designated in its title, the
Association proposes to publish TWEEN
" thousand pamphlets, of thirty-two
pages, eight or twelve of which to be
devoted to the general condition Of
the State, its climate, resources, ETC.,
and the remainder to statistics, de-
scriptions, ETC., of such counties as
miy subscribe to the work. Fifty
dollars subscribed by the county court,
will cntitlc said county to one page
and five hundred copies Of the pam
phlet, or the same amount subscribed
by individuals, will entitle the county
10 the said advantages. A map of the
State, by counties, will be contained
in each pamphlet, and arrangements
are made for the translation of this
document into French and German.
The object of the proposition is to
enable each county, for the trihing
sum named, to advertise itself exten-
sivcly, in three languages, in order that
that the material advantages it holds
out, may invite capital and skilled la
Dor for mining and manufacturing, as
we'll as for agricultural industries
This, no county can afford to do, in
diYidually, for a hundred times the
amount required by this co operative
mode of accomplishing the proposed
object The great want of intelligent
and reliable labor, felt by Montgom-
cry, in common with every county of
Che State, ought to commend this prop
osition to the serious consideration of
every farmer and land owner, and, in
fact, to every business man, no matter
what his vocation, for all are interested
in the development of population and
every branch of industry, the hum
blest of which contributes its mite to
the aggregate wealth Of county and
State. And surely there is nospeedier
or less oppressive mode of liquidating
our heavy State debt than to multiply
tax payers and increase the value and
diversity the sources from which taxes
should be levied. If the resources of
our county-its vast deposits of un-
surpassed iron ore, its proximity to
exhaustless coal fields, the value of its
uubroken forests, its water power, the
adaptation of its diversified soil to
the cereals, fruits and grapes, its ga :
luxurious climate and facilities for
transportation-if these things were
made known in Great Britain, France
and Germany, we might then hope for
an ingress Of population and capital
and enterprise, for an early payment
of our debt, and an advance in general
prosperity, and the much needed anne
Iteration of the social and political
ills by which we are so deeply cursed.
The proposition, above stated, offers
the best chance we know of for the
attainment of these desirable objects,
aud since the experiment will cost the
county so little, we hope it will be
tried, with the cordial assent of every
intelligent citizen. And since it is
already we'll settled that the negro will
never be reliable or efficient laboror
and that, as politician, in the sole
interest of Radicalism, he will ever be
an enemy in our midst, it will be
passing strange if our white citizens
neglect any opportunity to supply his
place, at least to an extent that will
teach him to feel his dependence upon
those with whom he is constantly at
war. In this good work, advertise
