North gave them their liberty, and
then left them to shift for themselves.
The South stood by them, and placed
within their reach the means of sub
sistence. The North has, by the
grandest stroke of vindictive legisla-
ton that was ever enacted BY civilized
government, manufactured them into
"politicians and statemen. The
South is thereby necessitated to "kiil
them off" as they are totally unfit to
legislate for, and to govern the white
man. Do you ask the reason why 7

Immiration is the only remedy to
rectify the defective systems of the
South, and to release it from African
thraldom. Here are vast regions
(happily placed in the best part Of
our beloved planet), far too wide and
unwieldy to be handled, and managed
to the best advantage by its present
sparse population, in order to carry
out such a movement as the exigencles
of the South require, and to turn the
tide of immigration in its direction.
An undertaking Of such magnitude
must be started and continued as shall
warrant the augmentation of its popu
! latlon to many times its present num-
Der. These vast sunny climes where
Billiards never come, with their incal-
culable resources both ofvegetable and
mineral, are we'll calculated to support
and maintain many millions of popula-
tion in all the necessaries, luxuries, and
delicacies of life. These huge planta-
tons would then be cut up into me-

the improvement of the soil instead Of
as now, a land destructionist he would
then become great factor In assisting
to build up the country, and to raise it
to its natural position when it would
become the admiration and envy of
the world. Justice would be done to
the present as well as the future gener-
ations; these murderous political out
