fluence of the Colonization Society, will be
busy transferring patriotic Philippians to
their ancestral sands. The projectors have
no doubt that the emigration will amount
to 5000 the first year, 10000 the second, and
go on doubling or rapidly increasing up TO
100000 or even 100000 yearly by the time

A great manv good and wise people are
deeply afflicted by this unexpected result (;
and great many rogues and knaves are
profoundly Gratihed and flushed for the

TO be cast down. As Mr. GRoEsBrCK said.

able, and hateful % all forms Of despoti,n

other hand, there is reason for regret. The
Tre1sury Ring, the method of addition.
division, and silence, the pcs'ilence that
wllketh in darkness, tie system OF KIM
Bile and MACKEY, seems TO he fastened
uron that hapless state more firmly than
ever. This is calamity for which the
bursting OF that nimsy and fictitious hub
bic imitation affords no al, quate indemni-
ty. Under the pickpocket and highway

confirmed III its hold on power, Pennsyl-
vnnia has long been the most corrupt STATE

though the Protestant churches are seven times
as numerous as the Roman Catholic. the at
tendance at the Protestant churches is only
double that at the Roman Catholic. There must
be an immense number Of so-callcd Protest nts
In Brooklyn who do not attend any Of the
Protestant churches. In fact, we estimate that
thrce-fourths Of all these I'rOtcstants arc nom
attendants at church, 20 there but very irregu-
larly. We presume that large proportion Of
the absent, e. are unncicyers, or people who
care nothing whatever for religion. This shows
what an immense field ~ labor there Is for
MOODY and SANKEY in BROOKLYN. We hear so
much Of Brooklyn as the "City OF Churches 3"

peculiar propensity for church, going; but tho
facts do not support this notion.

The redemption of Mississippi from the
rule of vice and Ignorance is cause for great
rejoicing by those who have the prosperity OF
tia whole country at lie irt. This gre STATE so
rich in natural resources, has been pliaged for
years by thieves OF the most degraded charac-
ter, and it, hes; people have been at the abso-
lutc mercy Of the most ignorant and vicious OF
its popglrion. The Northern public nave not
generally APPRECIATED the extent Of the stealing
which has been going on there. for the reason
that its state debt, about $7,0DO,O0D, IA small
compared with that Of other States which have
been raided by the carpet baggers yet there Is
none OF the reconstructed States ia which the
condition Of the whites has been more p,tiablc
A provision Of the Constitution prohibiting any
increase Of the State Debt has restr ,ined the
hands Of the robbers In that directions; but
they have amply made M for this by tho enor-
nous ex 'ctions, cxtortions. and peculations
which have been accomplished bv county and
municipal officers, who have been composed al
most entirely from the dregs OF the worse Ct sss
Of vicious negroes aud their wnitc coufeieratcs.

OF the rascalitics OF these fellows, aud Of tho
overpowcring wrongs inflicted uoon the tax

sippi Affairs. But now, at last, the cheering news
has come that In u most quiet election the Dem
ocrats have carried the state by sweeping ma
jority, and that too, when the coored vote out
numbers the white by about thirty thousand.
There is a lesson to be learned by the people OF
South Carolina and Louisiana from the recent
Mississippi canvass. Its splendid results are due
to the judicous course pursued bv the great
majority Of the white property holders, and by
the most distinguished leaders Of tue Demo.
cratic party Wisely refusing to enter into any
degrading compromise either with corrupt
negro politicians, or their still more corrupt
white leaders, the most Influential citizens IN
