At this point Mr.. Trieber, Of AHegsny.
sought to introduce q resolution. but ,ita
consideration was ruled out Of order while
the question then before the Convention
was pending.
L. A vote was taken on the report Of the
committee and it was adopted.
Mr.. Earle Immediately offered motion
to the effect that committee. consisting
of one member from each county and three
from the city of Baltimore. be sppointsd
by the President to memorialise the Leeis-
la'ure. asking an appropriation Of 5000,
900 to promote Immigration. ,.a ..:a
Mr.. James n. johnson. of Baltimore.
said that he had been a member Of the
Immigrant Association for two or three
years, and like other members he had
gone down into his pockets and contribut-
led of bis own means to its support. 1.
required the utmost energy to keep it
alive. Unless the city of Baltimore aud
the State Of Maryland came to the rescue
it would have to be given up. Let $780,
900 be appropriated by the State TO sup
ply the place of that labor that has been
destroyed.
Mr.. B. Everett Smith. Of Worcester.
said that while be admitted that our labor
was somewhat demoralized, to propose 10
take 5000. 900 from the State Treasury
to induce immigration will be = bugbear
that will frighteu the people. The tax
payers as q general rule are not 20 public
spirited as the members of convention.
He was informed that there was now an
agent from Texas in the city Of Baltimore
trying to induce colored laborers to re-.
move to that State. He would take thou
sands of them if he could get them. He
would be glad if this Convention would
set forth the fact that We are not seeking
to drive away our negro laborers.a The
negroes have behaved we'll, aud their L.
Dor is preferred by many persons 70 white
labor. Mr.. Smith proposed the, calling
Of an extra session Of the Legislature to
remove the disabilities to which foreigners
were subjected by law. as pointed out BY
Mr.. Bannon. -7'o<2i'e67
Col. H. G. s. Key, of st.. Mary's, said
that he heard with great satisfaction The
remarks Of the gentlemen who fasorsd N
appropriation from the State for the pur-
pose indicated; but it seemed to him that
they ought to be willing to trust thssom-
mittee that had alFeady been appointed.
There is no necessity. for alarming the
people Of the State by proposing totake
$1UO, ,0O0 or $2UU, ,UUU rom tue Treasury
of the State. The committee is composed
Of gentlemen of intelligence and liberal
views, and the whole subject may be safe
ly trusted to their discretion. There
should be an appeal to the people to send
delegates to the Legislature favorable 70
this appropriation. rev '-a slaa5'9l''p !
The resolution previously offered BY
Mr.. Trieber was then read: .ae9 s.ii ael
Resolved, That this Convention recommends
to the Legislature the adoption Of a system ol
paid agents to operate 10 different parts oi
Europe exclusively for the benefit Of the State
of Maryland, said agents to be furnished BY
the State with all necessary documents, and
receive compensation commensurate with
the Importance Of the interest involved. 4I7p;
MIR. Marbury said that millions Of pro-
perty of the people of Maryland had been
wiped away 10 1864. and now it was pro-
posed that 100000 be rendered as .
salvel for their wrongs. It was ridiculous
to suggest such pitiful sum-, The land
ed interests Of the State must be protect
ed. and this question will be Of importance
in the next canvass for members of the
next Legislature. The Convention should
6x no amount to be appropriated. Let
the Legislature do that. Defue no y
mount, but tax all interests and all pro-
perty., There may be other schemes pro-
posed, but We must hold out the idea shat
all interests will be taxed to support the
department of agriculture. >. vsI,a,
