Men must eat, and this is the eecret of the never ending march of The earliest social life developed on this globe began inthe East, and for thou- sands of years its progress has been towards the setting sun, which it follows in its course. As population increases, the soil is worn out by the | constant supplies taken from its bosom, for which 8 large extent of vitginYands of grest fertility, | with ever; thing to make it a desirable residence, aud with every retouree to encourage manufac- turer, as well as agriculture, it is not strange there people should turn their eyes. The experi- ment has succeeded on a small scale already. The South, then, had better understand the ques- tion at once. The invasion is not for the abolition of slavery, but to get bread; not to emancipate the negroes, but to fill their own stomachs, They should, therefore, encourage this emigration. A colony of forty or fifty thou sand hard working, wiry, ingenious Yankees set- tied among them, would make everything spin again. Indeed, if the State of Virginia has any unappropriated public lands withia her domain she could not do better than to give them away in sections to actual settlers. Iumorat Pays anp THE Morar Press.— ‘There has recently been quite a moral crusade on the part of the press against the growing wickedness of the community, as developed by our criminal records, It is assumed as an axiom that the amusements of the people have much to do with their morals, either for good or evil. “Let me write the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” With this fact well established, the inconsistency of some of our co- temporaries is quite remarkable. Journals like the Times, Tribune and Courier, pretending to the purest morality, dealing every day the heaviest rhetorical blows against sins and sinners of all kinds, and yet openly praising a style of drama- tic literature of the most immoral tendency. A short time since a lady—Mrs. McMahon—at- tempted to portray the heroines of Shakspere and the elder dramatiets, but was assailed by these presses with the bitterest denunciations. Anon comes an actress who is only remarkable for the representation of Camille (“La Dame aux Ca- melias”). And what is “Camille?” The romance upon which it is founded has been politicians would be sufficiently good for any wensible and practical nation to live under. Like the French republicans, they do not so muoh lack politxcal knowledge as the faculty of applying it conrectly. In the abstracs they have correct enough ideas of liberty, but their vola- tile and changeable temperaments prevent them | from reducing them to practice. At the present moment this singular moral peculiarity is even more generally manifest than at any former pe- riod within our recollection. The whole of these Southern populations appear to be moved by some mysterious and simultaneous influence, which urges‘ them on to political changes of more or less importance. Mexico, after passing through revolutions without end, and taking the oath to constitution after constitution, has adopted another which makes the first really practical advance towards political freedom. Under this instrament a new election for Presi- dent is about to take place, and it is to be hoped that Comonfort will derive from it the full powers necessary to carry out his political views. Peru, too, has just tried her hand at con- stitution makiag, although that which she pre- viously posseesed was sufticiently liberal for all rational minded men. In the event of Walker being expelled from Nicaragua, we are told that the Central American constitution mongers will undertake the task of parcelling out her terri- tory amongst their respective States, and so find a pretext for recommencing the work of political reconstruction at home. All these changes are, however, only the precursors of greater and more permanent ones. Uncle Sam's turn has yet to come; and when he does take the South American work in hand, he will leave, we suspect, but little for other political cobblers to improve upon. THE LATEST NEWS.

It is a legitimate issue fora party plat- form, and we presume it will become the plat- form of the republican party in 1860, should not the current of events in the interval bring to the surface some more sharply defined and more available issue against the party in power. But our legislative jomt committee go still turther. They say that until this measure of the re-organization of the Supreme Court shall have been accomplished, “it is manifestly the duty of this State to take and maintain a firm stand against the encroachments of slavery, and keep this direful evil out of her borders;” they re- | place. This has been found insufficient from the time of the landing of the Pilgrims, who, when they found they had landed upon almost a bar- ren waste, piously returned thanks for their fish and clame, or as one of their preachers expressed it, “for the abundance of the seas, and for the treasures hid inthe sands.” And so New Eng- land for a time was chiefly conservail in its ca- reer. It still has reason to be thankfal for the abundance of the seas, and it gets a handsome bounty from the United States for the encour- agement of its fishermen. But this bas been found insufficient to sustain the population, and manufactures on a large scale have of late years been added to the produets of New England in- dustry. But even this will not answer any longer. It is ascertained that the hardest labor of the mid- dle and lower clasees will not produce more j than the means of ordinary subsistence. There is | no cheap land there worth the cultare, and food | | is excessively dear.

Books and plays like “Camille” appeal direct- ly to the worst passions of the human heart— they eatisfy the morbid craving for forbidden fruit, which is the original sin, if there be such a thing. The actrees to whom we refer preserved all the bad points of the character, and satisfied the appetite of a portion of the public. She seems to have fallen into the error of supposing that be- cause @ great many people went to the theatre to see a strong delineation of the life and death of a prostitute that she made an artistic success.

Venezuela, as every one knows, has from time immemorial been bleeeed with citizens like the Abbe Sicyes, the | whole business of whose lives has been the manu- | | facture of constitutions.

Unscrupulous, however, as they have been, they have not dared to violate the | | provision which limits to a single term of four | | years the tenure of the Presidency.
