Editor Em;yr"nt Aid Journal:
SIR As [ understand your Journal is intended to
aid emigrants to Minnesota, | think it may not be ainiss
to have in it special articles from time to time, caution
ing e~migrants to beware Of being i~uveigled into, or en-
tangled with schemes, projected by parties strangers to
them, and perhaps governed too much BY selfish motives.
Next spring the bulk of the emigration is likely to
consist Of persons, to whom the judicious investment Of
every dollar is of essential consequence and, Sir, |
think that the position you occupy is one, the response
bility OF which cannot we'll be overcstimated. Suppose
for Il moment, that you should ungual dedly endorse any
project of an evidently premature description, and not
likely to te fully carried out why, sir, your doing so,
might be the cause Of ruin to hundreds Of families. Or,
suppose you know Of any schemes projected by parties
known to BE- mere spectators, and likely after they
have got what money they can out Of them, to leave
the undertakings to take care Of themselves; then, sir,
l am glad to say, | have no doubt your Journal will be
found faithful to the ~emigrant. Persons from the East
should be sure to inquire into the reputation of the
leading parties commencing new undertakings of a
plausible nature before investing therein, and if they
End that the projectors are men who are known to faith
honestly carried out, so as to redeem all their pledges
made at starting, then the emigrat may ~goahead with
q fair chance of success. But if, on the contrary,
strangers are foolish enough to place their money und>r
the control Of any man, or any set Of men, who are
known to require watching, to see that they unwaver.
ingly carry out to the letter what they promise, when
it IS practicable for them to do so,) then they will be
likely soon to realize the force of the saying that a fool
and his money are soon parted coupled with the con.
ISOLATION that they have themselves to blame for their
rashness. Emigrants should beware of ill projects
which, at first sight, strike them as being Of a visionary
character. and not allow themselves to be talked into
such. They will generally 6nl it advisable to abide by
toeir FIRST Impressions, AMI let them remember the adj
vice of DR.. Franklin: 'Ata great bargain-pause.'
There are abundance of opportunities for investment
in Minnesota than which no better have ever been
presented 20 emigrants. To your paper they will look
for impartial information regarding many Of these, and
as you stick to your business, they are not likely to be
disappointed. 'FoREARMED-FoREwARNED.'
N,ninger, Feb. 10, 1858.
