Immigration.

Some weeks ago, q correspondent
published communication through
our columns, in which he proposed
tho donation Of a specified proportion
Of our louds to bona fide immigrants.
Our readers have doubtless remarked
tho numerous responses the PROPOSE.
tion has elioted but they may not be
aware that they all proceed from os-
timablc and practical gentlemen of
tho District.
It is true beyond question, that
the tendency Of immigration is to
move upon similar lines of latitude.
Tho Southron does not readily move
northward, nor northern man to a
southern home. Injured to their own
climate, they seek in their new settle
ments similar. This, fact acting in
conjunction with the more potent in
tlucncc of our political insecurity,
renders it perfectly apparent that cx-
traordinary inducements must bc Of
fered tho foreigner, to tcmpt him
hithcr. In our opinion, these gcntlo-
mon have hit upon tho right plan.
They have struck the most practical
idea of the time. They SEQ that it is
tho best possible Investment to make
of ut present utter useless capital.
They sec linc climate and capable
soil occupied by a population utterly
Inadequate, from the paucity of it's
white members and tue inoficiency
of its labor, to its proper cultivation.
They SEQ our lands deprecated and
enterprises languish from the same
cause and honco they understand that
the paramount dcsidcratum is to
bring here hardy and thrifty popula-
tion to develop our magnificent ca
pacitics. ~ successful accomplish
mont Of this plan would embrace in
it comprehensive results, a solution of
all our pcrplexing questions. political
and natural. 1t would enhance four
fold tho value Of our lands, it would
increase our productions, it would set
our people an example Of thrift, fru.
gality, and skill, in tho management
of farms, and above all, it would SGT.
tie the political problem in favor of
civilization and deccncy. SO neccssa
ry is this event and 80 valucloss our
lands now, that it would DO real wis
dom and economy to pay bonus to
settlers to occupy them. This may
not be feasible, tho other certainly is.
1t is certain, nothing less will induce
them to come among us. Wo have
not only to combat the natural laws of
such movements, but the prcjudiccs
against our section, the apprchensions
of our future, tho associations of kin
drcd that would draw them in the
beaten track and the determined pur-
pose of tho north and tho northwest,
to keep thcm from tho South.
We arc glad to SEQ tho matter agi-
tated. 1t is practical and wise.
There is regeneration and salvation in
it. 1t is apparent, from the resp onses
made, coming from all sections of the
District, that it would be u popular

shape. Its importance calls for or

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

At the Grand Mass Meeting OF Repub-
licans in Lafayette square on Tuesday
night, the following resolutions were unan-
imolsly adopted
Resoloed That the constitution submitted
by the late constitutional convention is wise,
Just, and magnanimous, and that we pledge
our best efforts to secure its ratification at
the approaching election.
Resolced, That we cordially and heartily
indorse the regular state ticket headed by
Judge H. C. Warmoth and the Hon. o. j..
Dunn, and that we pledge our undivided
efforts to secure its election.
ResolUed, That we cordially and heartily
indorse the congressional, judicial, paro-
chial, and municipal ticket of the Repub-
lican party, and pledge our earnest and I'M
RENTING endeavors till the close of the
elections for the success Of the regular
ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but
the ticket.
Resolved, That we denounce and warn all
Republicans against coalition OF q hand
ful Of boilers from our party with unrepent-
ant rebels as dangerous to the ratification
of the constitution, rights, and liberties of
the colOred citizens, especially to loyal re-
construction in Louisiana.
Resolced, That we will devote our time
and energy on the seventeenth and eigh.
teenth instant to the cause of Liberty,
Justice and our Country; and that we will
use all legal and just means to insure the
election of the Republican candidates.
ReS0lced, That the Republican party is q
party of peace and of law and order, and
that we will discOuntenance all disorder,
lawlessness, and violence, and use our ut.
most endeavors to insure that the coming
election shall be fair, peaceable, and
orderly.
We call especial attention to the last
resolution, and call on every Repub-
lican to do his whole duty on the days of
the election.

TALIAFsRRO AND HIS PARTY. 4"

Whatever may be the merits Of Judge
Taliaferro personally, he is backed by the
meanest tricksters imaginable. Every
pretended republican who has a bad spot
in him finds himself in the thin ranks of th'
Taliaferro party. There is probably
greater per centage OF unprineipled men
in that little concern than ever before ex'
listed in any cabal. 1t has been amusing
to witness the wooing between this dlmln-
utive faction and the democrats. AT nrst
the democrats wanted to commit the bolt
ers to vote against the Constitution, which
the leaders in the main were willing
to pledge themselves to do, provided the
democrats would support them for the mu-
nicipal offices. But the boilers were
afraid 10 trust these pure patriots,
and therefore put out ticket them
selves. Then the Taliaferrians sought to
coalesce with the straight republicans
upon condition Of division of the spoils.
Being repealed in this quarter, they then
returned to the democrats, and promised
to vote for the whole state democratic
ticket except governor and superintendent
Of public education, provided the demo
Gratis would support these candidates Of the
boilers. The democratic press adopted
the suggestion, and have been blowing it
ever since. But it is no go. Democrats
always exact an ample a0id pro quo in their
contracts. Seeing the Taliaferro party
dwindle down like the army Of Falstaff,
they can not oontriye how they are going
to get their money back. We shall see
whether the democracy will sell ont for a
mess Of nottage.
