Now I do not wonder that people,

have never known, as wo of the South

bondage, were suddenly set frec,houId
lako thi view of the subject.
How eany and how cheap it is to
say, "Bo ye warmed, and be ye filled."
What does it cost? Nothing. What
did it cost Wendell Phillips, a few
weeks, or months ago, after listening
to tho truthful statements of my friend,
Mr. W. K., of Georgia statements,
.lei., which I would have supposed
would have moved and softened hearts
of adamant, (made in a public meet
ing in Boston,) to get up and say,
"Well, sir, tell us, will you let the ne
groes vote 1 Mr. K. replied, very prop
erly, ''Unless you do something jccd
ily lor the negroes, thero will bo few
or nono to vote.,' Mr. K. Lad just
stated in that meeting that, of fifteen
hundred negroes attached to five plan
tations the Ogecchec, Including his
own more than ono fourth had died
under the boon of freedom, within six
months ending in September. The
negroes, who had belonged to Mr. K.,
(a very humane, kind man.) had the
sense to remain for tho timo where
the- were. There were two-hundred
of them. Of these, only five had died.
Of two hundred and fid' on one plan
tation, about eighty-seven had died.
Of tw hundred on anefhor, sixty-four
had died What did Mr. 1'liilipK, or
others of kindred spirit, cure about all
this mortality ameng the dear negroes'.
Nothing, so far as we tan judge. "Will

But to return to Rev. Mr. French ;
I do not wonder that ho should have
spoken as he did. lie hits been here,
lie has seen, with his own ryes, tens
of thousands of poor, houseless, homo-
less, bewildered wandcrcrs.who, up to
this dny, have no correct idea of what
freedom is. After all that has been
said or done by thoso sensiblo gentle
men, Gen. Howard, and Gen. Tillson,
and others, to remove from the minds
of the negroes tho idea of a division
of property on Christinas, probably
more than one million of them aro to
this day hugging and cherishing that
ridiculous delusion. An old and scn -
sible colored man said to luc, a few
days ago, that "the negroes, in refer -
ence to that point, wero tho f;roatest

LIFE'S end-death:
Death is the cessation of life. When
by a wound, concussion, or mental
hock the action of tho heart is des
troj ed, tho brain ceases tolivo at once,
because the life-giving blood ceases
to bo gent to the brain, and it dies, as
a fish dies without water. It is desire-
able to know in all cases that
death
has taken place, to avoid the lxsmHo
fate of being buried alive, which, per-L

EMIGRATION FROM THE SOUTH-
We take from the Mobile Register
and Advertifrr the annexed article,
which is evidently from the pen of its
able and -accomplished editor, the
lion. Jolvn -Forsyth, formerly Minister
to McKico :
We understand that thirty persons
reached this city yesterday, from the
interior en route to Mexico, as colo
nifts. We are receiving frequent let
ters from Georgia and Albania, mak
ing inquiries touching matters ia that
country which it is useful to an emi
grant to know. There is something
alarming to us in tho spread of expa
triation at the South. It has been
'greatly intensified by recent develop
ments at nsmngion. a ii auiuicui
are driving the flower of our popula
tion from tho land. It is not the
needy, the broken-down and tho ad
venturous who constituto the migrat-
, im? class a class heretofore unknown
to the South but it is tho intelligent.
the spircted, the high-toned, the brave,
10 an(i l,n.j in an atmosphere
of freedom, fly from the homes of their
v HOt our fac es against the wisdom of
time. Weapprcciata the heart-sic ki,ess
which comes of turninc one's eyes to
jie daily proceedings of the Congress
0f the tfnited States, where thoughts
an,i passions aro nfo that wero once
l,t-licvcd to bo impossible in American
Bocietv, and under the shadow of
American institutions. But should
not the spectacle inspire a disdain to
fly tho ordeal of duty imposed by the
country s needs ;
j Hliall we abandon our native land to
howling fanatics, and look not behind
nor stav to strike one blow to? the re-
ucniption of the heritage of freedom
our fathers left us ? Hope is not lost.

tho lesson of blood and war, for it has
'written in flaming colors tho true
character of tho fanatical teachings
j and purposes of the party that drove
ws to a dosperato measure, and so
written that its hideous mien is visi
ble to every liberty-loving man from
Maine to Texas. It has made allies
for us, wherever a Democratic throb
is felt, wherever the intelligence exists
to know that, in our Government,
"consolidation is despotism, ami con
-federation the only hope of liberty. '
Let it not be forsrottcn that it is not
in the South only where the shock of
war lias fullen upon us with its terrific
power, that the late iinparalelled rev
olution has been felt.
The tinklings of tiro Cabinet Sccrc-
tary's bell that consigned a northern
man (not in rebellion) to a lortress
prison, have awakened emotions in
nortlrern minds, whoso echoes are yet
to be heard. Freedom is alarmed in
the North, as it has been prostrated at
the South; for every man f sense
"knows tbeso States cannot, live long
under two governments at Washing
ton ono Republican, tbe other des
potic. Tho gangrene of usnqied power
must spread, and a'l the Mates become
reduced to tbe rule of a single idea.
These ideas are smouldering in the
minds of the freemen of this country,
in New York and Ohio, as well as in
lrginia and Alabama. They will
burst forth with the certainty of cause
and effect. It is impossible that the
American itcoplc who fattened upon
liberty, and drank it in with every
respiration of their evi!we, can
tamelv consent to yield it. upon the
demand f a thin-blooded hj pocntc
like Charles Sumner, or a ferocious
dog'matistlikc Thaddeus Stevens. This
battle will le fought, and io lnends
of the old Constitution will b victo

ment will date its regeneration from
the war for Confederate independence.
