bled with one great Object in view, viz: to
legislate for the good of the State, and the
peace and prosperity of her citizens, and in nc
wise to reflect upon the moral character of
individuals either public or private friend or
foe. And whereas this house is both unwil-
ling and anxious to pursue such IL course to-
wards the Federal authorities, and consis-
tent with the rights and the honor of the
State, as will not retard the immediate res
toration of the relations between the State and
the Federal Government which existed before
the late war therefore

ton inconsistent with the foreign preamble

IMMIGRATION.

We are glad to find that the Legislature has
taken hold of this matter at this early day.
A joint resolution, that originated in the House
of Delegates, was sent to the Senate on We'd
nesday last, and is in these words:
" ResolUed, That joint committee of both
Houses, composed of five members of the
Houses of Delegates, and three members of
the Senate, be appointed to take into conside-
ration the subject of immigration, and what en-
couragement it may be deemed necessary and
proper for the State to give TO the same"
This resolution was taken up and passed at
theinstance Of Mr. Gait, of Fluvanna, a gen
tleman whose practical sense, business knowl-
edge and high social standing WILL no doubt,
make him a useful and influential member of
the Senate. 1t is a subject Of congratulation
to the State that it can, at such crisis, COM
mand the services of such a man as Mr., Gait.
On Saturday, in the House, the Senate iont
resolution in reference to the appointment of
a Joint committee to take into consideration
the subject Of immigration was considered and
passed.
The ball is now fairly in motion, and all we
have to do now, is to keep it moving.
