EMlGhAIlON AND
The wonders Of the West in all the material elements Of
progress social moral and political directly traceabo
to the steady tide Of emigration which has made the desert
blossom the rose and has opened the way for vgor
Gus civilization through heretofore impeuetrabe forests
The growth Of Wisconsin Michigan, Iowa. Illinois, within
the last ten years illustrated in the magical advance in
population and auence of the great cities Of Milwaukee
Detroit and Chicago-the rapid increase Of railroads with
in few years. bringing the Mississippi into close neigh
borhocd with the lakes the hand and uniting the
lakes TO the ocean on the otherhe development Of the
resources Of Canada BY the means-and finally the
destruction of all obstacles free trade between the Brit
ish colonies and the populous American States whieh
border trade with these coones-these great results
are almost all the direct trumphs Of emgratioa.
Is il incredible however that this prospect should
be darkened by the porenous cloud of bgoty and Of
intolerance and that while the world is amazed the
success OF our republican experiment the States and
Territories of the Union native population stimulated
by ambitious demagogues, who feel the evils of
which they prae should arise like devastating tornado to
arrest and destroy these noble trophies Of athletic eyza
ton and enduring prosperity?
We have already alluded to the unnatural spectacle Of
an organization against religious liberation and foreign
emigration in the State Of California. And we pre-
dict that the result this organization will only be
bitter rebike to those who have been blind enough to
eer it. but chat they have laid up for themselves aweght
Of oaium which, like that Of Atlas, will crush them to
/ the earth. The following article from California pa
per- received by the last steamer from the Pacific full of
material for reflection:
From the San Francisco Herald.
During the present year been very consdera

years. it be feared that but comparatively few viii d
their steps tho Golden State. These significant
facts should awaken determination in the breast Of
every who has the future welfare of this fair State at heart
redoube their exertons to attract that immigration to
shores which alone wanted to place California 10
that commanding position which bountiful Nature design
ed that she should occupy To for this
ordinary falling OF in the immigration to this State is
somewhat difficult There be question of the fact
that California offers times advantages to the i'm
migrant than any other State in the Union. Does the
hardy mmgr wh TO dig for himself the
yellow, blushing gold from the willing earthg Our rich
placers before him and by thrift and industry in few
short years he respectable fortune Does he de

hold forth bright hopes Of great rewards for his toll Does

fruit fragrant with the smell of thing that 10 beautiful
in the floral Kingdom presents pretty field for the grati
cation of his tastes. Does the adventuror sigh for country
in which fortune be secured by brawny arms, energy
and enterprise, California, above every country the
world holds to such every nducement In fact in every
pursuit in which may wish to engage, higher hopes
be nduged in and larger fortunes may be realized here
any country the of the globe How does hap
pen then that California; fallen rather
than increased Misrepresentation abroad done pro

have been shedding crocodile tears imaginary giving

California well aware results from tho fact that

poured into the hands Of eastern shippers in payment for
articles retained in the country. To adopt

and to increase facilities of immigration the objects

and to be hoped that every who is interested in the
future welfare Of this State viii forward and tender
that material aid necessary for the accomplishment of these
/ truly patriotic objects"
Doubtless the causes referred to by the Herald have had
their due effect but the results that have flown from
the crusade Of intolerance in other quarters have of
course inflicted their expected evils upon California We
have had abundant experience for year past show that
at the very when the monerches of the Old World
had become alarmed the exodus setting forth from
their domnions to the regions Of the New World,
know-nothingism stepped in to stop the tide Of egra
ton and to silence the fears Of trembling depotsm We
have shown that in Germany which has conferred from
the beginning Of the republic many valuable accessons
to population in what the old States OF the
Union the ministerial press has held up tho doctrines OF
the conspiracy against the adopted citizen in the United
States many evidences that the boosted asylum for
the oppressed in tho western world had been turned into
dungeon by fanatical public sentiment in which the
stranger expected to work with brand upon his
brow We have Ireland appealed TO by the ar
gument; and there is no doubt that men have willingly
preferred becoming food for the Russian bayonot and
non wasting their lives upon this hemisphere,

California must of course feel the blghpg effect
of these wicked Vaccinations No other State haso much
dependent upon emigration. Separated by deserts from
