accllmatlng attack 1t IS only q dluer-
ence of style OF shake, There is no nesd
that England or Ireland or Scotland any
longer suffer tor room or bread. The
tide OF immigration now pouring into
this country are greater than at any time
in history-21, ,658 emmigrants last
month arrived in New York, 5000 em-
migrants last Tuesday in and around
Castle Garden. This is only an intima
tion of what is TO come. Make two ours
rents. While you put on extra trains
to take them West by the Pennsylvania,
Erie and New York Central, put on
trains on the Baltimore Washington,
and Chattanooga aud Atlnnta and
Charleston routes to take them South.
There are tens OF thousands o. fortunes
waiting for men who have the enterprise
you to come. Stop cursing the South
and lying about the South, and go and
try yourselves the cordislity Of her we-
come aud the resources OF her mines, her
plantations aud her forests. Perhaps
this is the way God going to settle this
sectional strife Thers will be hundreds
of thousands of our brightest, most intel

invite the daughters Of the South to help
them build up homes among the magno-

will be half North and half South. half
Georgia and half Vermont, half South
Csrolina and half New York; and there
after to divide the country you would
have to divide the children with some
such sword as Solomon ssrcasticslly pro,
posed for the division of the contested
child, and the Northern father will say
to the Southern mother "Come my
dear, l guess we had better put this po-

that the South did not want industrious,
useful and moral Northerners to settle
among them brand as political Ease

purposes
Again, / have TO correct the impress
sion that the South are bitterly against
the government OF the United States.
The South submitted to arms certain
questions, and most of them are submis-
sive to the decision. There is no fight
in them. We hear much about the
fire-eaters of the South, but if they eat
FIRE they have private table and private
