There are some exceptions to this. The gold in California led our emigrants from the extreme North across many parallels of latitude. That was a sufficient disturbing cause. The existence of Slavery in the slave States of this country has driven thir- ty-five out of every hundred emigrants across northern parallels to the free States of the Union. That was another great and powerful cause. But there is another cause sufficient to carry emigration southward over parallels of latitude. That is, t...he argument of cheap lands, with the additional advantage of organized emi- gration. The objections that have heretofore existed among Northern men to settling in South- ern States are, by this mode of emigrating, en- tirely obviated. The Northern man, with his family of children, would not heretofore go into a Southern State, in the absence ot schools and churches. But when, combined with one or two hundred, or one or two thousand, of his friends and neighbors, he goes into a slave State, he carries with him schools and churches, and the mechanic arts, all these difficulties are obviated; and, besides, he has the inducement of going where the land can be bough t at slave-State prices, in the expectation of finding it come up probably in a few years to free-State prices, which are five or six times greater than slave-State prices.
