Since our last, we have received a
circular from the Association which has
been organized in San Francisco for the
purpose of inducing a more extensive

circular was accompanied by an appeal
to the press and a request to publish
and make known the objects and de-
signs of the Association.
We have already, to some extent,
given our views on the policy of immi-
grafton Societies. We commenced by
thorough and determined opposition
to them two years ago. 1t can hardly
be expected that we should look upon
such projects with less disfavor now, es-

In short we have among us men of
every calling and profession, and all
they need is encouragement to embark

known on the coast. But where is the

Though furnishing the world with its
currency, it is lamentable fact we
have not enough left among ourselves
to preserve healthy state of trade, OF
to reward the industrious laborer.
immigration Societies call upon us for
contributions to scatter tracts laudatory
of our State, over the United States and
Europe. For such purpose Nevada
county has nothing to give. The con-
slant and unwearied drain upon her re-
sources year after year, leaves her
nothing to spare for worse than use
