SOUTHERN EMIGRATION!
In response to a letter recently

upon r question rapid of vital, development importance*,

the past, buried in the consolidation
of the states as a Union, and extend
a hand of welcome to those intelli

amongst us, in an at

farming lands to their once paying
standard of excellence,—live under
the guidance of our customs, gov

fairs must inevitably ensue,
or later, put the ball in motion now,
and live to see the thousands
