: EDITORS CLARION: Seeing indications il
some of the press of the State to Undue
the next Legislature to go into an expensiv,
immigration system, and supposng thai
many aspiring to seat in that body, share
the same spirit, am induced to raise my
humble voice of warming against any such
\ crude and impracticable expenditure of the
peoples money. That some improvement
could and should be made upon our present
emasculated Bureau Of Immgration freely
IdmIt because it belongs To that common
gender, that defines neither sex, race, nor
things. But improvement upon a poor plan,
does not necessarily involve the establish
nent OF an expensive one. Now, for the
reasons that govern me in my views upon
subject 50 much talked Of and so little I'M
derstood;
We are often cited to the thousands of
| foreigners that land at Castle Garden every
lay, from the steamships that cross the
'cean. Whence come these people, and who
| are they? From that region which for ages
past has been the swarming line of invading
armies, as well as agricultural colonization
for all Southern Europe,-from the Scandi-
lavian regions of Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Finland, Poland and parts of Russia.
From this same healthful, mountainous
section of the Eastern Hemisphere. con.

rardy, but undiciplned hcrdes, that over
Ehelmed the declining powers of the Roaian /
Empire; and finally settled in the different |
countries of Southern Europe, and became /
The masters of the soil their unframed valor /
mad won. As then, SO to-day, that same
section is prolific OF robust humanity. In
their native hills and valleys, with the same
hard, scanty fare, and same salubrious eli, b
mate they multiply and grow qn TO mans
estate faster, and with more ease than anv
other portion Of the habitable globe. VIII
