The United States, the labor was almost

was. day after day. the chairman. but he
made two speeches during the convention

like one of Grants speeches. The con.

ty. and the thirty words of his first

Thomas Jefferson never made speech.

A Coop SCHEME.-A number Of the leading cti.
zens of Dover have issued call "'To the People Of
Kent" IN the DeIGtDareGn for a meeting to organize
an immigration society. The call reads thus:
The undersigned, your fellow citizens, are salts
fed that the soil of our county presents every ud-
vantage to the agriculturist that make land
valuable. II is a rare combination Of clay, sand
and lOam, well suited TO the production OF wheat,
corn, oats, clover grass roots, and especially fruit
of every variety grown in the temperate zone II
has, besides, the advantage of proximity to the best
markets, and Of being free from rocks or other
obsructioms. The public highways are better
naturally than any IN the whole country, and are
kept in fair travelling condition.
There is deficiency of two things TO make the
| county garden spOt-the first is money, and the
next persistent, economical intelligent industry. 1t
can be supplied by inducing immigration from other
States. or from abroad; and such immigration will
take place, provided the immigrant can be made
sure Of being protected from imposition in his pur
chase, and of receiving the usual cyites extend
to each other-in other words, that he will not be
treated "as stranger and sojourner."
We consider an organized society the best mean'
| of promoting such immigration as we desire. anC
We earnestly recommend that a meeting TO form il
be held in the Court House, at Dover, Saturday, tn,
9th day Of June next, at l O'clock, P. NJ. w,
