Mr.. Martin (author of the original hilI)
made the principal argument in favor Of the
adoption of the report of the Conference Com
mittee. He described, in earnest and logical
terms, the advantages to be derived from a
liberal and efficient system of imnig grafton, and
that other Sou hern aud Western States, with
less natural advantages than Mississippi were
0utstrippIng us because of the cordial and sab
stantial inv tations that were being extended
to immigrants.
Mr.. Jarnigan. with bis usual force, spoke in
opposition to the report. Having had oppoPtuni-
ty to obtain the views of many of his consti-
tuents upon she subject Of immigration he re-
turned to his seat feeling that he was almost
instructed to vote against any immigration
bill. Many of the best citizens he had seen
u AZ.
never be built up by importing a population
OF the character that would be brought in by
such scheme as this. Having voted for the
bill he felt constrained to state his reason for
changing his views, and in now oppoeing it.
