Whatever might be his opinions. if he exercised good sense and proper forbearance for their supposed follies and ignorances and showed himself in sympathy with their interests he would command respect. and his peculiar views. when they learned them. would be tolerated as the outgrowth of a defective education. subject to change by the superior intelligence of his surroundings. fi thfis is true. need any one be astonished if the same sensitiveness to supposed arrogance on the one baud and hope for reformation on the other should exist at the South ? The danger of maltreatment is purely ideal. We welcome all immigrants who come to be citizens and help us to develop the resources of our country and add to itswealth. prosperity. and happiness. But we do not want patent statesmenpersons who are distrusted and worthless where they were raised. bat who. so soon as they snuff our balmy air. undergo a sudden metamorphosis and robe themselves in the gorgeous paraphernalia of statesmanship. The honest settler at the South who exercises a reasonable share of good sense and who has merit will never complain of the treatment which he receives at the hands of our people.
