South ward.-The Course ol Empire. The time has come when we -believe the course of emigrntion Westward on. this continent should be stayed, and a South ern direction given to it. In. self-defence the Atlantic States will soon be compelled to make a concerted aud determined effort to prevent their depletion , of bone and muscle.

They would come boutti, if the railroads in this direction passed by their doors, as they do going West, and the rates of transpertation were the Bame. ihey would r certainly pre fer the South, not only on account of our mere generous climate and soil, but because they would be nearer a 'market for the pro- auctions oi tneir inaustry. Well, we ought to try to people this Atlantic slope these old original thirteen cclonie8, with desirable and industnou inhabitants, at least i half 'as thickly as France la peopled, and thereby insure our I ascendency in the Union.
