ue for the whites are Offering TO sell not
purchase, and the negroes are Psnniless
and without credit,
II the Northern States more than two
huhdred thousand persons are starving and
thrown cut Of employment and would
gratefully aeesp, any Offer 10 immigra,e
where work eau be had and provisions
ehesply bought, Any one who will reflect
for moment will perceive how much IL is
TO the interest Of the land owners, and to
tho benefit Of the country, that steps should
be taken TO induce immigration. This can
be done by the landowners erecting upon
every sixty acres Of unemployed land
tenement, which, with the sixty aeres at
taehed, will be leased to any immigrant
family for a number Of years, the first
years price Of lease being committed by the
improvement or cultivation Of the land.
Again, by selling portion Of each sec
ton in pla's from forty TO an hundred
acres at such price and on such conditions
that any industrious and economical family
could buy, the vendor retaining a recorded
lien and confession OF judgment A Sec
ton Of land situated ten miles from here,
worth at present from one.and.a-half TO
ten dollars per acre, would be enhanced
three. fold in value by the settlement Of six
families. Lands are valueless without pop
ulation, and MS the population increases
the value Of lands do likewise in the same
ratio; and in the depressed financial con-
dition OF affairs inducements must be offer
ed, and they should be, even If alternate
tho amount of land owned by an individu-
al would not be so great, yet the value OF
the remainder would quadruple that of the
whole at present. In this county course
Of conduct which has much retarded and
will continue to check its prosperity is
generally practiced. Persons DESTROYS of
investing capital or purchasing home are
asked such prices as to render the invest
ment Improbable, and impossible for any
but those of considerable means to pur.
chase. This place is not of sufficient i'm
portance to justify such cxorbitant dc.
mnnds, and lands Of equal fertility can be
obtained West of here at far more reasona-
BILE rates.
Daily trains Of immigrants pass through
here going West, and if the question is
asked, "Why do you not stop here2" the
immediate answer, Glands are high to buy,
and there are no houses to rent" In other
portions of the tate compa MES for the pur-
pose of inviting snd assisting immi grafton
have been organized, and by the liberal in
ducements and advantages proffered, dis
tricts hitherto comparatively unsettled are
being rapidly peopled, and the country ill.,
stead of an immense pasture is assuming
the aspect of an advance station Of civili-
sation. Such are the fruits of intelligent
economy. Our people possess equally the
intelligence, have they not the energy to
promote their own interests. Companies to
induce and assist immigration should i'm
mediately be organized.
