WHAT THE IMMIGRANTS THINK OF
SOUTH CARoLIEA.-The following pre-
amble and res lutions explain them
selves. They show. also, what efforts
are made by certain parties to msrepre-
sent the State, and discourage settlers
from coming here These resolutions
were passed on Friday. on the train
Whereas We, the undersigned immi-
grants, brought in body from New
York. to Columbia. South Carolina,
through the agency Of Tilmun K.
Gaines. of South Carolina, had our
minds badly abused on bourd the steamer
Champion. by certain officers aud sailor.
of that ship. and by man who came
on board on our arrival ut Charleston,
who circulated bad reports OF South
Carolina, and the treAtm ent which i'm.
migrants receive; aud whereas We have
found every thing since our arrival just
the reverse of these injurious reports,
seeing beautiful country spreading
out before US. being kindly treated by
every one We meet, aud receiving vel.
come by all; We are now induced to
think that there is an organized aud
lying opposition to immigration to
South Carolina. which is designed to
keep foreigners away. Considering the
fact that these reports are anything
else but true, and calculated to keep
hundreds of good, honest people, who
are hunting homes and needing work,
from one of the fairest aud best .lunds
to which they can 60. We are disposed
at once to raise our voices in contradict
ing these reports; be it, therefore,
Resolccd. That We hereby extend our
thanks to captain, purscr, steward and
other officers OF the steamer Champion,
for their kindness to our wives and little
ones. for the abundance of good, whole
some food which they gave to us all; and
that we kindly suggest to the officers of
these ships to prevent, if possible. any
further interference, on the part Of men
in employ Of these ships, or stragglers
that may cume on board, with the minds
OF immigrants on their way South.
Such interference is CONTRARY to the in
terests of the immigrants aud those who
pay to bring them South, as well as to
the steamship company.
ResOiued, That from the day We first
met the agent. Tilman r. Gaines, in his
Office at $50 Canal street. New York, to
Cue present day, we have found his
statements to us, concerning his agency
and his country. to be truthful and no.
nest. while his treatment Of us, in bring
ing US South, to homes which he had
ready for US, aud in furnishing Us with
every reasonable comfort, claim our
gratitude and our approval.
Resolced, That We hereby caution
other strangers, who may desire to come
South, ag,:ns. these lying reports of
South Carolina, and would invite them
to como on and join us in this garden
spot of the South.
