J k i A Philadelphia correspondent of 1 the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel has addressed a letter to that paper . one-losing extracts from the New York Sun and Philadelphia North ?: t , i% % { American, Tv;hiqh, he says, reflect le sentiments .of the public mind j f the North on the subject of im-j migration to the South. The sum .* aid substance of them all is, that ' ( .vhi 1st the South is willing1 enough . O O | .o get Northern money and services to build up her prosperity, she is j; not willing to extend to Northern men a friendly hand, and invite "ibem to a full participation in so- ( cial and political rights and privi- 1 jeges. Xhe .Swi urges .thai whilst ' he South especially needs a class' * of thrifty and intelligent small j farmers who do tlieir own work m- f dustriously and economically, yet it ( is'necessary to'secure them-, that i they be assured of perfect tolera- ! tion, and the righ't to h'okl, main- j tain and express their opinions at , all proper times and places. Aud f it further urges that whatever po- t litical views the class may entertain, 1 - - - % . i c they will soon become lacntineci j with the interests of the South, j and will become the determined \ foes of all plundering politicians. 1 'The North American complains 1 oven mbre V.tterly of social and po- ' 1 jtical Ostracism which is exercised j towards Northern men, and states ] that the effect of this is to send the ' mighty ^ood of Northern emi- '' grants rolling steadily Westward. ! iiathcr'than go to Virginia, where "j they can produce no social impres-h eion, a hundred thousand Northern f ^ . J emigrants would sooner go to Col- 1 orado, where they encounter no oaste and no barriers, and where j ihey.cau buildup a great and |>ros>erous community. Xortheni emgraticn being once driven oft', i* t necking other fields df enterprise,11 ind the South must now Wait their j | coming. The North American says: j j '/When they appear again in theij South as settlers. it will be under J entirely different circumstances and1 in organized communities of their jt own. This will fre "a population j < That will not celebrate rebel' anni-j < versaries and birthdays,' nor plaoe!( :'io beaten flacr above the national!"' v.ymbol. ' It will carry all its itisti- u N "utioiis with it, and base its eivili-J; iiatiou on religion, education, gen-j1 ^eral intelligence, libraries, newspapers, industrial establishments and; j -the elefation" of' labor. As the cordon jpf national power was slowJy but ii'Veslstibly drawn around the ( rebellion Until the monster' wasj( pless, so the cordon of Northern i1 -'ii.'iigrants must be drawn. Mis- < rouri tells the story of what is to be :r hereafter. South Carolina and'Miss-j issippi ds they now stand are but!, ten: nc cry outposts, established to j iiwuit the coining hosts of the! 1 !North. When the great armv of t emigrants again seeks the South it(] will go without invitation, and will!, treat with contempt the social ban!' now established against all whoi1 ?.rill not exalt the rebel cause and;' its leaders'.M In the meantime the < North has other fish to 4ry. It has 11 to pay oft'the trar'tlefrtto') populate the West, and to do a va liety of other things of like magni-1' tado, so that it does not matter}' ' iiiuoh whether ^Northern emigrants)1 a.1" the South are welcome or not."; J The sentiments expressed by!] r.hcse journals are doubtless honest-j ly entertained by 'them, and they doubtless represekt current sentir^ontafc the 2sorth on the subiect of - Southern ostracism and proscrip- ? tion as exercised towards Northern! ? men ; vet they do very greatMnjus-^ .lica to the feelings of the great 1 bodV of our people. "We deny that we entertain any unfriendly feel' i'Dgs to the true men of the North, J and so far from treating them with18 discourtesy and incivility, are glad f to welcaaie them into our commu-U ' - I , _.. a'- ' 7 > .--.'.vw. .... nity, and to secure their co-opera- 1 tion in the work of recuperation. Et is only against the political adventurers who come here to plunder, to sow dissension" between the races, and to enrich themselves by the sacrifice of the best interests of the South, that the just indignation Df our people has been exercised. They have been the authors of all the bribery, fraud, and malfeasance iii office which have made political government at the South a by-word ihd reproach, and are as much despised at the Xorth as in the South. ' To quote the words of the Chronicle $ Sentinel, "we say again that we .3csire Xoi;thcru immigration?that tve" W'iH gladly receive bona fide immigrants from the North. AVe wHl not ask?nor do we care? >vhat may be their political ohin-1 Ions, nor will any om* objeel Jo! their voting or acting with il:u 7Je-j publican party. Wc only a-1; tb vij to come among ns and give the sountry a trial, and we feci coji-J rinced that when they see howj much mischicf has been done the South by men claiming to be lie-1 [tublicans that they will soon be-j come as good Democrats as one could desire. <$> Senator Carpenter's Speech.? The great speech in Congress during the past week lias been that oi' Senator Carpenter, in support of jisbill providing for a new election n Louisiana. lie urges that it is :he right and duty of Congress to nterfere. The right of Congress le bases upon that provision of lie Federal Constitution which guarantees to every State a rcpubican form of government. The >resent State government in Louis ^ ? 11 - *n ana is an usurpation?mc i resilent's interference was unaHithorzed?and the only relief from >resent entanglements is to order i new election In concluding his argument, Carpenter said Congress was in a pre-, licament where it cguUI not stop. Louisiana had so-!ut one Senator icre, and the constitution says she ihe must have two. The Senator "rornXew Jersey (Frelinghuysen) lad said that he would not vote 'or Pinch back, and by that declared there was no liepubiican government in Louisiana. Byseating - Piijchbaek -the ' Senate, voukl have'to recognize Kellogg; jy seating McMillan it would have ecognized MeEnery: but by reusing to seat either it declared here had been no election. AVas t wise to adjourn this troublesome question to the troubles of the Presidential election ? It was not probable there would be the same inanimity then that there was :he last time; for as he scanned [he political horison lie thought lie could see more than one candidate, and it was not im probablo that the vote of Louisiana night chnnge the whole thing, rhe question should be settled now,, ind put out of the way, as it \v;is icither wise' nor prudent to ;td-|ourn it.

This proviso was strenuously sustained by Mr. Meetze, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of 'ho House, on the ground that there was danger oi some financial em bavrassmcnl through lit"? action ol bondholders, who would he " .11[iii"! to app!\ to the Supre rue ! '":f! for .'i nuntilninus to compel I ihe ('omptrolhr-Geneial to levy a tax to pay the interest of t'no Conversion and other bonds, and that j Ibis would likely necessitate further Legislative action. It does ; not appear, however, what further i Legislative action is needed with !regard to the Conversion bonds I which have already been declared I by the Legislature to be illegal and void; audit would seem that no I power of the Courts could restore them to life- Another reason is assigned by Hurley for the proviso, that Grant may withdraw the troops, and then ? "Whatever be the reason, wc arc disposed to think that the re-assembling of the Legislature for another session will be about as serious an evil as any it may be called upon to redjess. These long and frequent sessions impose heavy burdens 011 the people. Lectuoe on Sunday Xiciit.? We regret thatwc were not present to hear the excellent sermon" to young men delivered by the Rev. R.
