left to the discretion Of each state for itself We may safely assume that in the case of most of ttc states. the appointments to diree torship will Lave been made hY the Executive, and that the cor poration will thus have received the official recognition of the state government.
 THE LEoIsLATioh PROPOSED.
 h order, then. to meet the in itial expenses of the organization it is prososed that there be a for nal legislative recognition, by each state. of the company thus created, in such wise as to give to it a quasi official character, and that an annual appropriation of money be made toward the de- fragment of it's expenses unit such time as 1t shall become self. supporting. The amount for which each state, respectively, shall be called upon, hes, of course, to be in some manner de- tcrmined, in order that due pro- portion may be preserved between the resources and the quota of each state and we do not know how this can be better, or, indeed, otherwise, done, than by consult ation and agreement of the rep resentatives cf the several states in the Board Of Direction of the company. Ii the plan adopted by the Convention shall have been duly carried into effect by it's standing committee, this con sultation will have been held, and it's results will have been commu- nicated to your honorable bodies currently with the receipt, by you, of this circular. The details of the legislation to the end pro posed, it is not for us to suggest. Without doubt, our organization will have provided such safe guards respecting the due and effective disposition of the funds appropriated, and such facilities for examination and publication of their accounts. as will give am pie assurance that the money will be judiclously and economically expended.
 DETAILS CT PROPOSED ADMINS
 TRATIoN.
 Of course. each state, through its representative in the board of government. will have it's share Tn the administration Of the affairs of the Co'npany, and in directing the expenditure of it's funds. The ends of that administration will be those pointed out Tn what we have air, a,ly said the advertise mtnt. in Europe and elsewhere, of the Inducements offered to the immigrant by the states of the Mississippi river route; the es- tabhsbment of emigrant depots at desirable points in Europe, the inducement Of capitalists to estab- fish lines of cmigrant vessels be tween the European ports and that Of New Orleans: the estab- lishmtnt, at the last named point, ~ of an emigrant depot, with all it's machinery for the direction and protection of the immigrant; in short, whatever concerns the com mon interests iu these regards, of all the states interested. If, uu der the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United Statce, in the "lmmigrat.oa cases," it should prove that tbe imposition of communication tax. uuon the Castle Garden plan, is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution. it is not, in cur opinion, to be N6ulted, jlat the interest of owr~"s Of lines of cmigrant vessels will induce thtm voluntarily to contribute the t'5f. linz tax proposed, in Considera tion of the advantages 10 he de rived " them from the cstabhsh- mcnt of our depot at New Orleans. The details of such an under stan ling with the ship.o EherS will readily suggest them selves, and remain, of course, for future adjustment.
 Of the special measures to he taken ly each state to provide its agents, in Europe or at the New Orleans depot, whose province will be the persuasion of tic i'm migrant to seek his home within her particular boundaries. to diff. fuse by publication of the knowl- edge of the resources of the state, to provide its own special depot and hospitals upon it's own soil, etc, etc, it is not for Us to advise you.
 The time is ripe for this com hincd effort on the part of the states of our great valley. Its probable advantages are eyond dispute, A wise statcsmaush n and far sighted eco omy r"' rs to act with liherali y now. If he thine be good, it. is weakness ord fol'y tn q. fer or hesitate aI in me- diate action: al q the rroi pl and hearty official responses t the call for q c co' vention. an, The hearty upanimity of it's n lou, establish us in the belief ,hat it's purposes and mcllols will elicit the unqualified approval of the governments of al! the statl in
