toexpress her grateful acknowledgements,
for the distinguished honor of being made

g ReSolced, That this Convention strong
1y approve Of the efforts beng made to
settle up the idle lands and waste places
of this State with industrious farmers
from other States and countries.
ResOlued, That the Press of Mississip.
pi can exert powerful influence in has
tening the influx of multitudes of the
class of immigrants to this State, and
the editors of the State are urgently So
licited to engage vigorously In this inn
portant work
Resolued, That the practice of putting
up the price of lauds to extravagant fig
ures, or of Withdrawing them from mar
ket, IN anticipation of immigrants, is a
sighted custom which greatly delays
by turning immigrants to
sections where lands are cheaper and
farmers have greater inducements to pur-
chase and settle.
