is sensible. Says the Democrat:
"The numbers of nonslaveholders
would be swelled by European immi-
grants. Their first landing in the United
States is generally on soil unfriendly to
the South and her institutions. So soon
as the most of them would land at Boston
and New York, the immigrant aid socie-
lies would take charge of them, assists
them to file their intentions to become
citizens and hurry them off to the West
with the promise of the gift of 16O acres
of land, to which this bill would entitle
them. Of course, education, association,
ignorance of Southern institutions, and
gratitude to their supposed benefactors
who so kindly took them by the hand as
soon as they landed, strangers in
strange land, would operate to make all
olitlons of the foreigners. AT all events
they would be Observation-Disclosures, and a
majority would be likely to desire to re-
main so.'
