our State legislature, is of considerable
importance to the people Of the State,
and seems to us to be 4 wise measure:
and it or some similar measure ought to

vided Tor IN the bill is wisely expended.
accompanied by proper efforts to induce
immigration into the State it will
bring hundred fold to us for the ex-
penditure:

tons provided for hy section u Of ar
