None whatever. Then, sir, added to this ready combination, we also have great facilities of locomotion. Our people can migrate with but little diffi- culty. If there were a meeting to-night to put a colony into Kansas, all the arrangement might be perfected, and complete preparation made for starting in two weeks. The next day after the meeting you would see flaming hand-bills on the streets headed, " Ho for Kansas ! " " Property for Sale ! " Daguerreo- types of some " familiar faces, " and per...haps the old homestead, would be taken, and in two weeks the colony, on the lightning train, following a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night, would be going on its way to their prairie home. How can a Southern planter hope to rival this speed and readiness of transition ? After he has determined to emigrate, his plantation is to be sold, and the purchaser is to be hunted up, and much time is required. And after a purchaser is found, credit must be given of from one to twenty years.
