Fnrnirn Emirrnsion. i.

The following eeantnunicali fsasn oOe of she mos, worthy geu,lemen in the nation, tn regaTd io foreign emigra,ion, will, we believe. attract the aten,ien aud command the respect ot aR right thinking men. The views expressed are wise ana hhefa, and meet our hearty apPFovat,-- Bss. Att4s
 saw, recently, ia ore of the city papers that society being organized tn assss seign esRievaAs in establishing themselves ia the western e"aRsSy. This benevolent enterprise. which H iadieieasly managed, may be productive ct much goosI; ana ss an experience of klly years has givea me some ns ht in what rriates 10 emigration and settlements a th- West will take the hbasty ef making fensrks the Pan, as set forth in the paper wlch have seen.
 According to that t is the intention ef the soceiv 10 purchase large body ~ w5lA Iaad; ta ruh-tiv1s il inte sman farms ef 4o acres aad ta sell Vheea su emiEtsHtss CT, Ia eih~s 's..s~t~. t.~-"-" ~-> extensive land operation, Now suspect thai the members of the Society are not cg the amcaNt of expense and trouble such operation woald ia volve; and what IS worse, apprehcna that, 70 isr from promoting the object which the SocIey has tn view. il would rather tend 10 defea, that object The Sneiety cannot obtain a body oi wild land at less price than $l, a per acre. The mosaeas this land IS purchased II becomes subject to taxation hS state and local proposes. ic these taxes he added the contingent expenses for agency, s1Tveytng &c, and interest be calculated o~ the capital invested. during the time will necessarily take to Geatsse and wind up this concern, Ca period of probably many veaFs.) t becomes evsteni that, n the ASsocta ion is to be reimbursed its advances, ths lands belonging to 1t will have to be sold at considerably higher price than the sane quality of baud can be i had from the Uuitet States.
 But perhaps a will be said that the emigvants sent out be setled together. rhts. sotaF sem being desirable, eoRsder as seriously injurious, Al Europeans. their arrival tn thus country, have to be initiated into the in which maeFs srs here done managed 10 the best advantage; and this information they only obtain by assOciAtiag with the inhabitants of the country. We have q striking instance of the injurious effects Of settling fo, eigners in body by themselves, In the Gesmaa districts in Pennsylvania. These Gernlaa seitie- ments made nearly century and halt ago. ! and even now large portion oi these Germans can neither understand nor speak English; and. in Poa 6f intelligence. they at least half centusy behind the rest of the community.
 | But there is another serioas objection to the ] settlement of these emigrans in body. A large proportion ot them will be persons of siedeT means, who will have to depend on their labor ioT othets for the o supporting their families, unti iheiF own farms be rendered productive; and to obiaa cattle. farming utensils and other Reeessarles. But
 f settled together this would totally ia them. AJ would want ta hire. On this account. i. therefore, it is also desirable that these etugsants shoald be scattered among the olses settlements. Such appear 10 me 10 be some of the objee ions ,o the plan which has been proposed II mistake not another plan could be substituted. pesAapa somewhs, more lahoEious, though much less expes- sive and which would be liable to fewer ohiecioas.
 would suggest. for instance. that either co-opsra- tive societies. agencies, be established al sanry places in the west to whom the etng rants could be directed by the parent society; and aa there are everywhere in the west plenty of Irshmea and others willing to assist n good eaase. think there would be 10 great difficulty in obtaining such COG operation. | The agricultural emigranis naturally v,ie them selves into three classes, namely. into those who possess the necessary means to purchase farms, to stock them, and to support themselves antil their tarms can be rendered productive; into those whc, l though they may have the means 10 pay for their land, aave afterwards to rely on their laboFiRg
 temporarily loF other persons lof their means oi sHp ! port; and into those whose neans still more | ilaited.
 The first of these classes will reqnire little sssis- tance beyond some advice as to thelr hest mode Of
 travelling and information to the districts best l adapted io their views.
 In locating the second class, special attention should he paid 10 their being settled B districts where hired labor is n demand, or. al Ieast in such from which they can, at all seasons, easily and cheaply transport themselves to where employ meat can be obtained. Great care should also be te have these engTahis located m healthy districts, as
 protfacsd hi of illness, in the early stage of their settlement may blast the prosperity of family loE 1 years.
 As 10 the third class. these ought to be sent 10 those districts where, either account oi extensive public works now going on, or from other causes. | there IS great demand for iabor. Ia this respect the State ol New York deserves particular attention, | not only on accouht ot lhe New 1ofk and Efte RaiIIoad. and the improve now being made in the Buffalo harbos; but specially account of the enIaIg getneBt of the New York Canal, work which can obly be done during the wihier. and furnishes therefore employment al season when it ls difficult | to ob ain II elsewhere. s@
