THE IMMIGRATION CoNvENrIoN.-Th
question of supplying the Southern
country with white population has oc-
cupled the minds of all interested in her
| welfare ever since the abolition of slavery.
So far, however. nothing practical has
resulted from any efforts at it's solution.
In this State we have been especially
unfortunate. The well-organized sys.
tenn established by the Legislature of
1865, under the efficient management of
General John A. Wagner, was com
pletcly upset, and all the progress it had
already made rendered nugatory by the
change of government; and the efforts
of individuals and private societies have
been restricted, for want of means, to q
very narrow compass. At last, however,
we have brighter prospect. A conven-
| tion is to be held in Charleston on the
| third of next month, for the purpose of
devising means to bring about the alto
be-desired influx of population from
abroad. The class of gentlemen, whose
names are announced from the various
Districts of the State, as delegates to
the convention, and the enlightened
views in regard to this subject generally,
which have recently been promulgated
through the public prints, leads us to
believe that this convention must result
In great practical good. and that the era
of white immigration to the South is
about to dawn. The arrangements for
the convention are announced in detail
In an advertisement which appears in
another column.
