Thir stand has been taken-with regard to the constitutiolial amend ment.

The altern aiw was to emigra.te to those States where thifended distribu tion was more general and equal Buteircumstanlces have changed all is. The impossibility of con centrating.large bodies of laborers necessitates the subdivision of the lands of the Southern States. Land is and will be in the market, abundant and cheap, in.parcels of any size, from the market garden to the farm of forty and eighty acres, and larger or smaller, as the wants of the community may determine. Capital being unable to monopolize labor, it will no long-. er monopolize land, which, with out labor is of comparatively little value.,. The greater fertility ofl the lands of the South, the larger profit whi4- the productions of its staples yields than those of the West and Nortb'west, will neces sarily attract the agricub :ral in dustry of European emigrants, and will, in time, create a refluent current of migrationfroni the Mid die and Western States, where. land is already becoming compa ratively high 'ad diffleult of ae qui8ition.
