This pro the advance ; and recently, it , world ley are charged with a Scheme for ezteit -ations, having in view the colonizing of 'them part of that State. As for the ," we rather think there is not much of in regard to the process, this is likely on and increase. Northern population les.

We r.,fer to this matter simply because there is a principle involved in it bearing upon the Southern States, and in which, consequently, we nre interested, though perhaps not to the same extent as the, people of Virginia. Why is it that the latter State has been degenerating, its soil becoming exhausted, and its whole affairs going to waste and poverty ? That she is going down hill, and has been so for years, let her own press testify. The whole secret of the wasting away of the Old Dominion, of its poverty, worn out soil, dilapidated ()id fields, sedge patches, brier patches, waning power and influence, lies un doubtedly iu the fact that her press, public men, and leading citizens generally, have devoted their attention from time immemorial almost exclu sively to politics. El Federalism " has been whipped clear out of ihe State time and again, the people have been sound to 'the core in the faith of the most approved political orthodoxy, and the State has been running down bill every day, too, having had twenty-three members of Congress in 1830, and thirteen novel Internal improvements have been ignored, as rather too plebian in character to occupy the attention of men of, enlarged. capacities; public schools— which always afford, of course, the life-blood of a. State—have heen almost entirely neglected: - The rich were able to educate their own ohildren ; and as to the poor, what need had they for' edu cation ? If they had, twenty yearn ago, urged the people to build a school house at every cross road, and to go to making,railroads, hats, shoes. ;'shirts; plows,' hoes, elOths, gimiets,,plooks, pine, Sm., Virginia, now might have; been just what New York is, or considerably ahead. . This is plain speaking. And there is truth in it; but how much '.we will, not pretend to.say., 9f this, however, we feel very confident, that if Pennsylvania would repelYanken , aggression, or Virginia exclude PennsYlvania free-soilers, or if any other State; rich in its soil and its facili ties for traffic, would keep out its enterprising neighbors, the thing must be done, not by pro hibitory Legislative enactments and Vigilance Committees, but by occupying well its owitfacili ties for earning a comfortable livelihood, and for . accumulating wealth. Home enterprise is the only safeguard, in the end, against inroads from the enterprising.
