the interest OF each. Every man has his
dividend ont Of this augmented public ad,
vantage.
But hor shall SIC object now before us
be accomplished? We answer:
l. Let Associations be organized in
every town and city. They can be indie
pendent, or auxiliary to the Immigrant
Aid Association of San Francisco, as may
be thought most desirable But as "in
union there is strength" so in concert of
action, provided that action be cordial and
harmonious, more will be done, and better
done, than by isolated, independent organ
ization. Elect active, energetic men to the
Directory; appoint a suitable Agent to
canvass the town or city, and authorize
him to obtain from every citizen the sum Of
one dollar and upwards, for the purpose of
aiding the Committee in New York to pub
/ lish tracts and pamphlets and to scatter
! them over the United States and Europe.
Make it also the duty of the Agent to col
| lcct facts and statistics on all matters men
TONED in the first paragraph of this Circu.
lar. And as it is desirable that these facts
aud statistics should all concentrate to
some local center, in order that they may be
combined, Systematically arranged, aud
made to tell with the greatest effect, let
them be sent to the Corresponding Sccrc-
t0ry of the Immigrant Aid Association Of
San Francisco Again, we say-Organ.
izc! organize!
2. But if in any town or precinct it be
impossible TO organize an Association then
let some public-spiriied citizen, having the
confidence of the community, take upon
himself the collection of funds, facts and
statistics, and place himself at once in cor
rcspomlcncs with the Association in San
Francisco. In this way, individual efforts
may accomplish results as valuable as could
an organized body of men. Action!
prompt, vigorous, pubic-spirted action, is
what the occasion and the object demand
3. Let Landholders, who, beyond all
Others, are to be benefited by a large and
increasing population, give the M tier
their serious consideration and earnest CO.
operation. Let them communicate direct,
ly with this Association, state the amonnt,
location, quality and adoption of their
land; whether fifty acres, or one hundred
reasonable rates at which they will sell per
acre, and the easiest terms Of payment, so
as to make it an iuducement for immigrants
to purchase; whether they will be willing
to enter into bonds with this Association
for the faithful fulfllment of their contract,
so as encourage the settler and make him
feel that he is secure in his possessions, and
not liable TO imposition; and give such
other information as will tend to encour-
age, facilitate immigration to our shores.
Ii possible, execute map of the lands to be
denoted or sold, and forward the same to
the Office in San Francisco. 1t will be the
object Of the Committee in New York, and
of the Association in this city, to direct
immigrants to those localities, other things
being equal, where the landholders offer
the most liberal terms to the settler.
4. Let Agriculturalist, east, west, north
and south, communicate the result Of their
experience and efforts in cultivating the
soil, in rearing cattle, sheep, swine and hor-
ses, and furnish such information as they,
from their own experience, know that i'm
migrants would desire to possess.
5. Let Clergymen and Teachers come
to the aid Of the Association. They can
furnish much valuable information, such as
every honest yeoman desires to possess,
before he consents to leave his old stamp
ing ground, to seek new home on the far
off shores Of the Pacific, relating to church
es and schools, the intellectual aud moral
culture for himself and children. We want
to know the number of churches and
schools, public and private, in evQfy town
and city, the number Of public 7ibraries; !;
the moral standard Of the community; the
regard paid to the social amenities Of life,
and to the sentiments of o civilized aud
christian people. These are matters Of
great Importance, and any information in
regard to them will not only be useful, but
be appropriately acknowledged
6. Let all County Assessors also come
to our aid Let them, in the true spirit OF
patriotism, devote few hours or days in
compiling from their accumulated stores OF
statistical knowledge, statement of the
resources of each county, its topography
and general features, its schools, churches
and humanitary institutions, its amount oi
land for agriculture and paSturage, the
amount and quality of government lands,
its number Of sheep, horn cattle, mules,
horses and swine, the names Of its large
landholders, whole amount of taxable
property, canals or bitches, tunnels, quartz
aud other mines, number of Inhabitants,
amount of wheat and other vegetable pro-
ductions per acre, together with all other
statistical items which Assessors can 50
easily and readily supply. One County
Assessor has already promised to furnish
the information desired. Let all others
emulate his patriotic course, aud strive to
make their statements as complete anI re-
liable as possible.
I. Let the Press, everywhere, that glo
rious exponent of public freedom and pno.
lie enlightenment, lift up its voice, rouse
the people to their duty, and call upon
them, by the love they bear themselves,
their wives and children, to do what ti,y
can to promote the prosperity OF tn..f
