this subject, allow me to
...akc some reflections upon emigration iu

tions, essential, as it seems to me, to a
just appreciation of the question. In
this day emigration is not what it was i swallowed dona
twenty' years ago. Then the emigrant | what else_at the
was generally a political refugee, flying,
ho and his, from a more or less oppressive
civil persecution. M’hat he sought was
a safe asylum and protection. Ilis coun
try was still the land where he was born. I participate in, and
To day emigration is more voluntary and ' " '
more deliberate. The emigrant general
ly leaves hie home in order to ameliorate
),j s lot and to associate himself with the
destinies of a new world. What he seeks
is a new country offering him advantages
superior to those he has hitherto known.
To look upon the emigrant as a mercenary
is generally to do him an injustice. It is
because in the United States the value of
the individual man is fully recognized the
tide of emigration under all forms has
joined towards her shores. With this
order of things, a country which establish
es distinctions unfavorable to the new
comer will hope in vain to attract a nu-
'incrous emigration; in my judgment
Brazil would deceive herself as to the fu
ture if she indulges the hope of speedy
progress in ail active and intelligent emi
gration, without previously having abol
ished restrictions which still weigh heavi
ly upon the stranger who comes to estab
lish himself upon her soil. Let no one
delude himself in this respect; that which
the emigrant seeks is that which is least
•easily conceded: absolute equality with
the inhabitants of older date and even
with the descendant of the older races.
I would add further that 1 have obser
ved in Brazil certain administrative eus-
itonis, principally touching the acquisition
of Teal estate and the intervention of au
thority in the affairs of private individu
als, which until they arc fundamentally
modified must remain an invincible obsta
cle to emigration on a large scale. I al
lude especially to rite delays and formali-
(tics attending the entrance into possession
or practical occupation of land, and which
in tire eves of the stranger are tantamount
to the complete exclusion. The emigrant
ought to be able to take possession of the
ground between to-day and to morrow, for
he rarely has the means of waiting, 'i rue
political wisdom should rather stimulate
him to establish himself upon any terri-
the States and from the whole country.

A Letter from Secretary Weils.
While Dennison, Speed, Harlan and
Stanton have shamefully deserted the
President in his patriotic efforts to main
tain the Constitution and restore the
Union, Secretary Wells stands firm by
his side, as will be seen in the following
extract from a letter bearing date
Hth inst., which he addressed to Senator
Doolittle:
“The policy initiated by President
Lincoln to restore national unity was
adopted and carried forward by President
Johnson; the States which had been in
rebellion wore, under this benign policy,
resuming their legitimate functions; the
people had laid down their arms, and
those who had been in insurrection were
returning to their allegiance; the Consti
tution had been vindicated and the Union
was supposed to be restored, when a check

As every nation and its citizens are

as we have no part or lot “ in running

Under these, however, he wore his “ Sun-
day-go-to-meetins,” and on nearing the
point of destination, hitched his horse,
laid off his old clothes, and tripped light
ly over the bridge into town, a very dandy
in unruffled smoothness. It so happened
that he shed his clothes and tied his
horse near a stream of considerable depth.
Men discovered both and soon concluded
that some reckless young man had been
drowned. The subject was thoroughly
canvassed, and preparations made to drag
the stream for the body. A large crowd
had collected by this time, and the ex
citement was intense. The proceedings
were stopped by an excited individual
plunging^cross the bridge, springing on
the horse, and galloping away. The in
ference at once was, that the young man
had stolen the horse, and several farmers
started immediately in pursuit. Young
man saw them and whipped up to full
speed. The race was a close one for sev-
al miles, when he dodged them by taking
a by-path through the woods. He was
again discovered, however, and again the
chase commenced, the pursuit being joined
