Here again you have but to think a moment to see the fallacy of this. You must give the people of the South credit at least for knowing their own interest. Property is always jealous and watchful. Thereforc you will see that our people would from necessity invite immigration. In fact. most of our States have established boards of immigration and invite people from all parts of the country. We have nore lands than we ca cultivate. Our hills and mountains are inexhaustible beds of iron. copper. lead. coal. &c.. which sleep undisturbed for the want of labor and capital.
