My Dear moment to answer your inquires reg ard- The National Convention—The Consti tutional Amendment. The W ashington correspoudcnt of the Macon Telegraph says: “ The National Convention was called Constitution, designed to operate on the people and the States which are denied all representation or voice in the Congress which originates them, are of a radical, if not revolutionary, character.

The chief object of the Conven- f .re entering upon such details as I deem tion will be to devise means whereby that j produce, justify and demand a convoca- f or ao young a man, which he told us in tion of the people by delegates from all I a straight forward mauner, having first j necessary wy views on course. But Jonah would attempted to swallow the for the clear explanation of this subject, allow me to ...akc some reflections upon emigration iu general, and to point out certain distinc 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. The President has labored with devoted in description ol its plan and principles will net be out of place.

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.
