CHARLOTTESNILLE, Va, July 1.-lSpe-
cial. The Joint celebration of the Wash
| ington and jefferson Literary societies took
place this morning. The visiting orator
/ was the Hou. 4. NJ. Hammond. of Florida.
His Remarks were brief, occupying only
half an hour in the delivery. Afler a sum-
mary Of the great extent and immense re.
sources Of the country, he discussed the
nature and principles OF the government
which controls them. The tendencies Of il
he thought were toward Capitalization. The
Republican party represent an impulse 10
throw 10 the central government great
proportion Of the power and rights that
ought 20 remain with the States I'm
word their forces are alike Centripetal:
the Democratic Impulse is % throw the
powers out from the centre 10 the States 10
work centrifucally with view 10 making
strong states; 50 far as progressed, the ten
dcncics are TO weaken the States and
strengthen the federal power, that PROPOSE
tiOns are now made i'm Congress that would
not have been dreamed of twenty-five years
ago, such as dividing the treasury surplus
among the StateN which would amount 10
federal expenditure of money in state
matters and the control Of state elections
10y Congress,
The question Of immigration is mOmen-
tous, in special sense TO the South;
twenty million Of our population are for
eign born. The foreign born amounts 10
siXty-three per cent. of the population of
Cincinnati, eighty-two per cent. Of Cleye-
land, siNty-fye Of Boston, eighty-six Of
New York and ninety-one Of Chicago.
These figures are significant in view of the
fact that the cities are the great nerve cen
tres Of the country, ana in view of the
further fact that these foreigners are here
Ia make money, and not because they care
for the freedom Of our institutions.
The orators tell us that the New South
cOnfrOnts us, and i'm "A sense they are right,
but remember it is yet the Old south in an
important respect. Thus far the dangerous
elements that are coming 20 our shores DO
not come South. Seyouty-tVe per cent. Of
these foreigners 20 West; nearly all the |
rest remain i'm the North.
In the South the American character has |
remained unchanged, while in the West
and North il has been modified 10y receiving |
a large foreign element. In the South, !
therefore, must reside the true Americans |
aud Americanism have its home The nat /
ural attitude Of the South should be one of
uncompromising opposition 10 all tenden- |
cies TO oblitcrate the old landmark of strict |
ly constitutional Government.

but IL is conceded 10 be a hard ticket for /
even the two-yoar man. One of the most /
exciting incidents Of the commencement |

bulletin board. 1t was done this morning |
