Sunday Morning, August 19,
Emigration from tl?? Sont!?.
We have on several oeSasionw Hfted \
our voico against tho various emi- j
gration schemes set afloat at an early
period after the clone o? the war, and
a careful investigation of all that has
been written and published on the
subject, our opinion remains un?
changed?
Several geniLsns<?n'i and among thom
so m o from our own State, have visit?
ed Brazil, one of the most favored,
lands of promise held out to tho
Southern emigrant; but a calm pe?
rusal of the reports brought from that
country convinces us that there will
bo fouud obstacles to tho prosperity
of those who may settle there, which
will counterbalance alleged advan?
tages. Professor Agassiz has been in
the country lying on the shores of the
Amazon, and says that while the
opening of that magnificent river
will bring to its borders a number of |
enterprising, industrious men, yet "a j
great emigration, such us rapidly j
augments a population, will never i
gather there, so long as the order of
things which I have observed in the j
Provinces of Para and Amazon exist." ,
The obstacles the Professor alludes to ?
are various forms of petty tyranny.
Two gentlemen from Edgefield |
District have also visited Brazil, and j
make their report through the me?
dium of DeBotc's Review. They say j
that, in the latitude of Pernambuco, !
cotton is raised, rated ld. to lV^d.
higher than any other in Liverpool, ! ;
and that tho sugar and tobacco were
perfect; but they say "that the eli-1
mate would not suit, as the -everlost- j I
ing heat must enervate the system ? 1
and break the constitution." There | <
are other objections, such as an cs- :
tablished religion, (Catholic;) other,
religions, however, aro tolerated; thc
language, the mixed classes of popu- j1
lation, and the want of tho proper, j
facilities for education. j.
But the most serious objection that j .
we can conceive of to the Southern *
emigrant, is found in .the fact, that 1
during the stay of tho committee \ .
aforesaid, the prices of negroes de- g
dined one-lialf, and dial ali classes agree
mat die day is not distant -when emanci- ?
potion must come. Now, surely, thc j .
Southerner has had enough of this at I
i fi
home, and has tasted sufficiently the ,
benefit of freed labor, even among ! ^
the race referred to, born and raised I
under their own roof-trees, to be j
tempted to go through the same ' *
ordeal in a st ran go land and among 1
stiange freedmen, with whoso habits ? c
and customs he must be compara- !
tiveiy unacquainted. This argument ! f!
against Brazil, we think, must be j "
potent with the Southerner. j ^
As to another place-Cordova; that | u
land of promise is pretty well played j A
out. A Mr. Lane, from this country,
one of a colony who went there to ? 1
settle, hits returned. He describes p
tho treatment and cruelty that he and s<
twenty-six of his companions received {?
at the hands of liberals, which were ; u
sufficient to cause them to be glad to ? &
leave the country in a hurry. He s<
avers, that to say he considers the j
Mexicans the repository of all the ! ^
surplus treachery of the world, con
?eys but a very faint idea of his dis- ?
gust with his experience in their j ra
country. j tl
Whatever discouragements or dis- J',
heartening trials the people of tho ; .
South may have had to pass through '< ]?
during the closiug scenes of the war, pl
and whatever may have been its dis- : G
astrous results pecuniarily, yet we af- j
firm that no other country-taking i <j,
into consideration the breaking up of ' M
old associations, the troubles, trials i m
and expenses of an emigrating jour?
ney; the difficulties they will have to j ^
contend with when they roach their
destination, and the unpleasantness j
of beiug cut off from home benefits J 8U
and advantages-can offer any in?
ducements sufficient to lure them Pi
from their homes and father-lnnd. Pr
There is an ample field in all the T?
Southern States for the enterprise tj1(
and activo industry of her people; , an
and as to the Government, the pros- !
peet is brightening for its restoration ? :
to original principles-the day not tio
being very far distant when tho knot | tin
of bad men who are now seeking to
revolutionize it will be disbanded for- ? 1
ever. Thc days of radicalism and | ^ol
bureauism, we think, are numbered, ? ere
?nd when they are, our people can Aa
manage their affairs in ?heir own way,
and will ba enabled to take tba abort- pri
? ?NIH. I ??^?????Be.PL?l.-?ll.
pst cnts to tho highway of prosperity
t#all, theja, is to *W at hpma*id Jo
t^woritiw*h n^borf rvjal and
Foreign Uhor. -
A company has been formed in
New York, under the title of "The
American Emigrant Homestead Com?
pany." for the purpose of inviting
emigration directly from Europe to
the Southern States. The great fea?
ture of the plan is in mating it an
inducement for emigrants to select
homes in the Southern States before
leaving their homes in Europe.
' Another feature of the plan pro?
posed, is to appoint agencies at the
principal points in Europe, where
maps, plans, &c, will be found and
all necessary information given, so
that the emigrants may understand?
ingly decide as to the value and other
inducements attached to euch parcel
of land offered for sale, and that
there may bo no cause for that fear
which strangers naturally have, when
they have uo proof, except that of
interested parties. To obviato this,
it is proposed to have the foreign
consuls for tho States in which the
lands offered for sale aro located, cer?
tify to the correctness of tho state?
ments, maps, Ac.
In addition, there is to bc suitable
evidence that each State Government
is prepared to confirm tho acts of tho
company, in accordance with the
laws for adding to its population well
disposed and industrious people, and
that in so doing, such people shall
have all the protection and privileges
accorded under the general law of the
United States.
Thia is a most important subject nt
this time to the Southern people;and
we see from our Virginia and other
rechanges that it is receiving the con
adoration it merits.
INFAMOUS.-The New York Herald,
>f Tuesday, publishes several docu
nents, which brand with infamy men
?olding high positions, iu their base
ittcmpt to implicate Jefferson Davis
n theJaiucoluassassination plot. It
jublishes letters from one Caldwell,
me of the suborned perjurers apply
ng for money; also, a letter from
Podge Advocate-General Holt to Co
lover, another of tho gang, in which
io says he has sent the money. Ti ie
Herald publishes other documents,
ill demonstrating that the conspiracy
vas of the most infamous character.
'.t is, wo think, the duty of the na
ional authorities to have this base
?lot thoroughly investigated.
SUBJECT FOB "HARPER."-An ex
hauge has thc following item :
"Joseph Inman and wife, of West
ield. Indiana, have boen arrested for
ying a young girl naked to a tree,
rhere, lifter scourging her with a raw
tide whip, she was allowed to remain
intil the sun blistered her fearfully, j
i passer-by cut ber loose."
This is a fahey sketch for Harper's
Yeekhf, and wo have no doubt these
ious publishers will illustrate the ,
?cne-with this difference, tho young j
irl will be a freed subject, her tor- .
tenters some former "slave driver" j
nd his wife, and the seeno located I
jmewhere down South.
THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION.--The ;
'.ichmond Times, of Friday, says:
Amoug the most gratifying telo
raphie items which wo publish this ?
torning. is the announcement that
ie President will soon issue a gene- i
il amnesty. This crowning act of
xecutivc clemency, it accompanied .
Y the completo abrogation of martial
w, will be a most appropriate sup
lemeut to tho proceedings of tho
onvention. Muy we not hope that
ie noble and unfortunate statesman j
>w languishing in prison, arid en?
tring the slow tortures of Inquisitor i
iles, will not bo excluded from it* ,
erciful provisions.
A special despatch to the New York I
mung Post, dated at Washington, I
? th instant, says:
Secretary Seward returned here
is morning from Auburn, and re- !
med the charge of his department.
He had an interview with the I
?esideut, and it is reported that a
och motion will immediately be
ned declaring the re-establishment
the writ of hal>eas corpus over all
9 territory of the United States,
d a practical termination of tho
litary occupation of the Skates
ely in insurrection,
lt is understood that this proclama
n has been delayed on account of
; absence of Mr. Seward.

PHJIIAOELPHIA, August 15.-The
second day of the Convention bas
been even more glorious than the
first. ? * * The first remark that
occurs to a looker-on is that it is de?
cidedly the greatest Convention in
numbers, ability and -weight of cha?
racter ever assembled since the days
of the Revolution. " One evidence of
the unusual interest felt throughout
the whole country is the presence of
over 300 editors and correspondents
of newspapers, from all the States
from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf o'
Mexico. Old habitues of national
conventions for a quarter of a centu?
ry are astounded at this demonstra?
tion.
Long before the hour for the meet?
ing of the Convention, the crowd of
visitors began to fill the wigwam. At
noon, the galleries devoted to the usc
of the ladies and their escorts were
filled. When the Convention waa
called to order, every available space
in the whole vast amphitheatre was
densely packed. The coup (Veril pre?
sented was truly grand. Tho doust
mass of human faces, the gay attin
of the ladies in the galleries, the bus j
reporters at their tables, or fringing
the edge of tho platform, left nothing
else visible, except the patriotic deco
rations of the wigwam. From flooi
to roof, it was one closely packed
mass of earnest, anxious, patriotic
men and women, met to celebrate tin
restoration of peace, and to provide
for the enjoyment of its legitimate
fruits.
Tho speech of Senator Dooli Uh
made a profound sensation, lt wa.
delivered in a very impressive man
I ner. His sonorous voice filled wei
i tho vast building, in which, if empty
j he would hardly have been hoard. 1
i deep silence pervaded thc immens*
i audience, broken only by the cheer
I and applause, which frequently burs
! forth spontaneously at the ntterauc
of a patriotic sentiment which touche?
the hearts of all present.
The presentation of the letter o
"Vallandigham produced a momentar
commotion. The objection to th
reading, made emphatically by Mr
Gardner, of New York, was evident!
done under the impression that i
might contain inflammatory matte
which would mar the beautiful con
cord that has thus far distinguishe
the Convention, and promises to cb:
racterize its deliberations to tho ene
Its temperate tone was manifestly
relief to many present.
One fact has been abundantly di
monstratcd to-day: The Conventio
is one of tho greatest successes tb
country ever witnessed. The radica
hero are struck dumb with the maj
uificent proportions of such a popi
lar demonstration, when not even th
exciting cause of a nomination exist
to produco enthusiasm or call ot
numbers. Thc proposition for
National Soldiers' Couventiou wi
undoubtedly become si fixed fae
There are present a number of tl
officers of both armies, who have wc
imperishable reputations for gallan
ry, who unite in approving th
movement.
The enthusiasm begotten by tl
Convention in this radical-riddi
city has extended beyond tho wi?
warn. Meetings have been impr
vised in various parts of the city, 1
avail themselves of the aid of ti
sj>eakers in attendance upon the Coi
vention. The quiet city of Philadi
ph ia is made alive with excitement.
