tnIcr this head; we find in monthly
Agricultural magazine, published in the
city o: Lufalo, under the title of "1he
Wuoi Grower IN the number for the last
E.onth, some observations on the condition
and destiny OF our country which have
even more merit than mere originality to
recommend them.
The writer sets ont with the general
proposition that there never has been
time in our national existence when the,
way was so plain for the future and rapid
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF our country as at this
very hour; and he demonstrates his prop
osiiion as tolloweth:
"rhr overriding hand Of Providence
Is visible in all the events Of The last hall
century, and the finger of the Almighty
points with une,ring precision to what
we are 10 expect IN the coming years.
The handwriting upon the wall was not
more plain, while the Interpretation can
be made by the mos! simple.
"Our country now extends from ocean
to ocean. From ITS eastern shores it has
easy access to the old nations of Europe.
From ITS western II has as easy access TO
the still older nations OF Asia. The tide
OF emigration first set from the shores Of
Europe, and gradually peoped the Attain
tic border. From the over-popnlous ma
tons OF Europe we have drawn largely
tor that population which now makes
much OF our power and wealth. 1t is
safely estimated that with the immigra-
ton from thus direction, the annual in
crease OF population is one million-a
rapid increase, but far short Of what we
now require to develop the immense re-
sources OF our country.
"IIeretotore all the Southern portion
OF our country has had but little benefit
dire city from European immigration. n
"The South requires labor, and that can
only be had from dense population.
Heretofore they have had no immigrants.
The door is now opened thro' which they
can draw them 10 an unlimited amount.
We refer to China. Already the stream
begins to run this way. Even now the
Chinese are hotking TO our shores upon
the Pacific China is the hive ready TO
swarm, and she can spare us millions OF
intelligent, industrious, aud desirable citl-
zcns, who are accustomed 10 labor. When
they find there IS climate here as good
aS their own, where they can cultivate
tea, and cotton, and sugar and rear the
siIkworm- and the South Is happily all
thlS-they will come as rapidly as means
can lie furnished 10 bring them away.
The Aslatc is destined TO suppIant the
African because no bar exists to a mixture
OF the Asiatlc and European blood
China, then, will become to the South
what Ireland has been to the North-a
reservoir from whence 10 draw for labor,
and an active population. +"
"lt is the duty of cur Government TO
take immediate measures to facilitate I'M
migration from China, by causing that
Government to remove al! restrictions up
on those subjects who wish to leave the
country, and to make it an object Tor
them to settle among us.
Irregular steam packets should be esab-
!ished between Panama or San Francisco
and Canton, and every possible exer.on
made to induce free immigration, es-
reclaly OF those who understand the cul-
tivation of tea.
"a brief statement of the climate, the
advantages that they could enjoy, should
be prepared and circulated through the
Empire. Ample appropriations should be
made by Congress, and our diplomatic re-
lations should be placed upon the same
footing as the most powerful European
nations. We must not only have the
trade, but we must have the surplus popu-
latlon Of China.
"The stream OF immigration from Eu-
rope has swollen 70 flood Let us have
mighty torrent from Asia. Give us an
uninterrupted flow from thence for few
years, and we shall indeed become the
heart and centre Of the globe. And all
this must ranspire, as certain as the future
must become the present.
"And when this does come to pass, it
is easy to see the result The South will
become more densely populated than any
portion Of our country, and that millennium
oil on: nation-a freedom from sectional
strife Tor political power will dawn up
on u.s."
