THAT i4rigrstion was ds as;rable was clear
to his mind as the SUMS beam, The former
system of labor has left bad effects. and il
was now fonnd that those who had the
means did NOT have the win to emnIov the
negro and vice versa those who had the,

why 50 many were now idle. He was not
particular what class of Immigrants came
for there was no dancer that the negro
would suffer bv It or that there would ever
be A larger PROPORTION of paupers in ourmidst
than there was now. There we're no wealthy
institutions to provide for them. and there
fore thev would not come. The Door houses
now in the countrv were not supported and
if thew were wonld he over crowded Hence
that class will not come. But il appeared
to him that the Railroad MANAGERS had
placed an effectual. bar to Immigration.
Even the Weather class of laboring men
might be kept away by such action.
But when they come, there need be no
fear of competition. So far as to labor, the
negro could always hold his own. because
he was hardened to it and acquainted with
the soil. climate and crops. He is better
prepared. He can defend and take care
of himself. Thousands of acres of
land are now unsettled. How can they be
cultivated. He was opposed to confscation.

Mr.. Abbott said that if this work was
placed in the hands of a superintendent of
public works it would be neglected. owing
TO pressure of his other duties. Nearly a
half million OF emigrants come yearly to
America, and out of that number II came to

land. and has his cabin M. Butitis differ
ent as to North-Carolina. We have no
agents there. Ii the immigrant comes. he
buys his own TRANSFORMATION comes here
and Charters about land, and has to make
his own bargains. 1t is all matter of
doubt. Until this is remedied, there would
be no flow of population this way. He
rather agreed with the delegate from Beau
fort as to the amendment in question. Let
us make this separate from the public works,
throw open the doors, and invit. capital
and labor to come among us. He knew
several Northern men in this State who were
good for thousand others, when the gov

MIR. French, of Chowan, said before NOV
ing his amendment, he had considered the
proposition made to-day by thesdelegate
from Beaufort. He was afraid, If appended
to the 18th section, it would not demand
the attention of the public. However, lie
would yield to the Judgment of Others, and
withdraw his amendment now, giving no.
tice that he would move it to the 18th Sec

MIR. Carey offered the following amend
ment to the 1st section: Provided, That
either the Governor or Lieutenant Governor
shall be colored person.
The amendment was read when Mr.. Carey
withdrew it. ...-a. ri 49,
Mr.. Harris, of Wake, said that he hoped
the delegate would not withdraw it. He
desired to get at the parties prompting him
