tended, tho balance between labor
and employment would in n few, years
be restored, The question was also
whether tho emigrants
should be sent tosthe British colonies,
or to tho United States, ipapy of the
speakers contendmg that the colonies
would consider The new settlers as a
burden, while tho United States could
furnish sufficient employment to and
