LONDON. THURSDAY. NOV.
IM social as in bodily diseases, erica ars but too
apt to run after • catholirope, or oatmeal medicine.
They will be cured, and that at ones by • nostrum,
without the self-denial and careful attention to die-
tetic and other prudential maims which mast co-
operate with medicine to effect a cure. This is
strikingly exemplified in the vacillating judgments
formed and expressed by individuals, respecting the
efficacy of emigration as a remedy for the social evils
of Ireland.
Both those who for the time being are advocates of
emigration, and those who deny its advantages, are
apt to argue the question too mach on the assemption
that it is to operate alone and unaided by other ap-
pliances. Some zealous promoters of emigration
*driblets too mach to it, overlook all difficulties in
the waT f carrying it into execution ; and their
antagonists, seeking rather to expose their exaggera-
tes, than to arrive at sound conclusions, compla-
cently assume that because emigration cannot work
all the wonders that have been attributed to it, lid
because human beings cannot be moved from one
country to another without some cost and trouble,
there is no use in thinking about it.
Emigration, to be of any use to Ireland, must be
conducted—at present, at lead, and probably for
some time to come—on a larger seek, and in a more
systematic manner than is necemary on this side of
the water. The population and the means of 'abid-
ance and employment in England and Scotland are
not so disproportionate that the natural and sponta-
aeons emigration which is always going on in large
societies should not be sufficient to preserve
their due balance. It is greatly for the ad-
vantage even of this island, that there should be a oxi-
dant stream of adventurous individuals pomessed of
limited means, or of no means at all, flowing out of it,
and setting in upon the colonies. Bet the natural
enterprise of Scotch and Englishmen, added to the
zealous beating up for recruits, which parties con-
nected with Australia are now putting in practice
from Cornwall to Caithness, will ensure this dream's
being kept at a volume sufficient to preserve the eco-
nomical health of the country. When wetalk co theeon-
boxy ofemigration ass remedy for the ills of Ireland, we
contemplate the dislocation of an accumulated s
lot
surplus population, that requires a strong effort to e
it in motion, end no small effort of judgment to con-
duct its transport and distribution in a manner con-
sistent with the dictates of common humanity.
When such emigration is proposed as a remedy for
Irish suffering, it must always be kept in mind that
its eosin usefulness will consist in its facilitating the
improvement of the country from which the emigrants
are carried. If Ireland is to be left in every respect
ea it is now, bating the expatriation of a large
proportion of its inhabitants, only a few years would
pass over our heads before we found ourselves ex-
actly where we are. If the manner in which the
natural resources of the country have hitherto been
turned to account, and the habits which have hitherto
prevailed and still to a great extent prevail there, are
to remain unaltered, emigration will onIT act as
a stimulus to increase the rapidity with which
population augments. We want emigration to af-
ford room for musing land into farms, not large
in the English acceptation of the "plusse, but large
enough to admit of their being cultivated in snob a
manner as will make them produce ample food forsll
the inhabitants of the island, and something over to
export, without taking the bread out of the mouthed
a part of the population. We want to have the num-
ber of inhabitants so reduced that the land at present
cultivated or susceptible of beingimmediately brought
under profitable cultivation will give full employ-
ment throughout the year to those who remain.
Keeping these considerations in view, it is easy to
