Every substance, ¿veiy drop, every

Mr. Flake, of the Bulletin, as I see
by an article in his* paper, seems to
think I misunderstood him iu a conver-
sation we had upon emigration last
month in Galveston. I believe that I
understood him, and was sorry at the
time that I could not altogether agree
with han—did not believe that the
State could be induced to pay the pass-
age of ten, twenty or fifty thousand
emigrants^ all, as Mr. ¡flake said, ready
and willing to come. If I mistake not,
he stated that from the neighborhood
ofBreslau alone, in Silesia, at least
50,000 stalwart emigrante were in
readiness to start at any day or hour
when their passages over were paid,
and I certainly was in accord with him XT
when I said that the throwing of such £
a population, upon our
great present and im
to bring over so many-would
exas some two millions of sure
iars, and, however beneficial
be_to the State in the long
" then, and I still doubt,
e wisdom would

were ip the
was in. But. I
in this way; around
thousand, moreorleae,
stout and hearty emigrants, living
from hand to mouth, whose constant
industry, year in and year out, will
barely preserve them raiment, daily
bread, and occasional meat. No
tem of economy, however rigid, they
can practice for years, will yield them
a sufficient sum to pay their own way
across seas; to use a common expres-
sion, "it is not in the cards."
¡ What then? Why, if Texas will
not take hold of the jof¿ let her Legis-
lature simply pass a law giving private
parties, who will take in hand the busi-
ness of bringing over the emigrants, a
claim upon their services for a suffi-
cient tima at Jteaat to defray the costs
of the voyage, aod their provisions on
the way. Bat S?, Flake says we want ¡
freemen, not í'ifedcmptioners-'' I do
not now recollect what the
vania law in relation to
ers". was—are confident it bound " '
for a much longer term than was
eient to pay their passage over. Yo.

It delighted him amazingly: he shouted
"Am I then known so well in the white

ineffable contempt to the crowd around
us, and pointing to the engraving, he
said, "Pigs, look herel what do you

me who made the book. I told him it
was tlÉ same good friend who had sent
him such beautiful presents. He did
not forget this; and the next day he
put into my hands a handsome leop-

would send it to the ntaugaui (white
man) who had put him in a book and
sent him so many things to do him
