THE -UL1TGRATTON MOVE
MEAT


We understand that subscriptions
of stock to the immigration Society
are no longer made with the eager
ness that was manifested during the
days of the Convention. 1t cannot
be that u planting friends have
grown Indifferent to a scheme that
promises them relief from present
tyranny, and abundance of intelli-
gent labor. We cannot believe
they have so 0 grown lukewarm
in the cause of Chinese immigration,
accepted by them but a few days
since as the only medium through
which they can secure reliable labor
ers. Yet it is patent there is an
indisposition towards this enter
prise, hailed at its inception
with the utmost satisfaction. We
urge a change in this respect. We
urge increased zeal in behalf of the
Society. We urge subscriptions of
stock; and we urge such a course as
has been pursued by the Arkansas
River Society which is shortly to be
represented on the Pacific coast by the
intelligent and cultured Capt. GEO.
w. GIFT. Mr.. f. NJ. APPERsoN has
the books Of the Society at his office
and is prepared to receive subscrip-
tons. So far he has borne the burden
of it with such assistance as Gen.
PILLOW, who originated the or
%ganization, could give him. We
hope this viii no longer ON
tinue but that planters and all inter-
ested in the development of the labor
question viii come forward and lend
hand by generous subscriptions.
Only $4,000 is needed to make the
capital paid in s~1UO,Ooo, with which
sum an expert agent can procure an
installment of laborers sufficient to
determine favorably the question of.
Chinese labor, and insure the subscrip-
ton of the balance OF the $L,0O0,OOO
capital proposed. Wewant to see our
immigration Society on its feet and at
work. Let u have your subscrip-
lions, gentlemen.
