The Commercial says Mtllions of as fer
tile acres Of land as the sun shines upon
are to be found in the Southern States,
neglected and uncultivated. These lands
can be purchased at rates as cheap as any
of the available lands in the West. They
have the advantage of a temperate climate
and usually favorable seasons for all Gro S.
They are capable of as diverse cultivation
as the best lands of the North, and, in ad
dition, are productive of such staples as
cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar cane, which
can be cultivated only in the South, or in
the southern parts of States contiguous to
the North. There is hardly any part of
| this vast Southern region which is not
| penetrated by railroads and navigabe
rivers Markets are within easy reach,
and as good prices can be obtain
ed for whatever the soil pro-
duces as can be had anywhere The South
offers, therefore, both natural and artificial
advantages to the settler, as has been re-
peatedly demonstrated by Statistics and
yet immigration passes by on the other
side and pours its inexhaustible tide into
the plains of the West When, however,
the people of the South forget that man
not born on its soil is a carpet-bagger, and

Committees should poll the State and re-

for Hayes or we're naturalzed or became

vote for Grant for third term Such a

Ohio is the October State, and the mex
Presidential election would be hopelessly

in October next it might be well to make
the examination, we suggest, before it be-
comes everlastingly too late.
The ENQUIRER saws: Many of the County
Conventions in Ohio, and MANY of the local
Democratic Conventions elsewhere, are
swift to mention second choice in the
same breath with the first. There are, for
example, many friends of Mr.. Hendricks
in Indiana. and elsewhere, who do not con.
fidently expect his nomination. Many of
the adyo Gates of Senator Thurman in Ohio,
} warmly as they desire his nomination,
have not unlimited faith that he can be
nominated. Some of the County Dem
ocratic Conventions held on Saturday
indicate this quite forcbly. The State
of MIR. Bayard is small, and it is o
Southern State, and his candidacy may
not be an enduring one. Gen. Hancock's
State is large, but it did not instruct fol
, him. Mr.. Payne has the support of hi!
own county, but not of his State, ant
, whether he is the heir-apparent OF Mr.
> Tilden is in dispute. The meaning of al
this is that strong, intelligent men shoul(
be sent to the National Convention in orde
tha, tafter the force ofinstructionssh hav
been spent, and after personal friendship,
shall have been exhausted, and after Stat,
pride shall have been found to be of n,
controlling power. the action of the Con
yention may be intelligent and strong.
