Special Legislation.

We have always been accustomed 10
consider the Locofoco Party of our State
as particularly committed against the
doctrine Of special Legislation, and Elk
Governor Hampstead as one Of its cham.
pions; but SO far from this being the case,
the Elk Governor holds the other ex-
treme.
He goes so far as to recommend in
his Annual Message. that a commission
er Of Emigration be appointed I o take
up his residence in the principal seaport
Of a neighboring State, and spend his
time there for the benefit of those, who
are in no way committed to our interests.
who owe no allegiance TO US; who are
unacqua:nted with our State policy, and
for augh, we may know Of them, op.
posed to our whole social and political
system.
If Iowa is so much in need Of a pop
ula.ion of this kind as TO require a draft
10 be made on the pockets Of the people
to bring them here; it is high time that
our real condition be made known; and
it argues no very great ~profurdity in the
author OF the instrument containing the
aforesaid recommendation, that he did
not set forth IN detail, the particular con-
dition of the State that demanded the ape
pointment of such an officer, and the in
flux Of such a population. If special
Legislation mus. be adopted. and spe.
cial officers appointed, let it be for our
W citizens, for those who have built
up our system Of government, and who
have their lives, their treasures, and their
honor pledge ed for its support and de-
tense, and not for those whose crime or
pauperism has obtained for them q trans
portation and settlement in our country.
II a commissioners must be appointed
let him travel through the States Of Ten.
nessee. Kentucky, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
New York and the New England States,
and give the citizens of those States ssthe
necessary information AZ to soil, climate
and the branches of business to be pue.
sued with advantage in this State.'-
But it may be said that these persons
already possess this informatioD. Then
let them come and settle in Iowa, and
send the commissioner, If one be sent to
have the foreign prisoners and paupers
that land in New York, returned to the !.
country from which they emigrated..
Those who will make good c~itizens,
have sense enough to find their way
mere without the aid of an officer 10
show them the way, and those who
have not we do not want.-Iowa Re-
