IMMIGRATION.

AAAdAAWEAA AAVNa
Having in previous article drawn attentic
TO this subject, we propose in this to show
what way immigrants whom it is desirable
have settle in Delaware can be induced to do &c
and in what way they can be assisted il nscessa
". The State cannot do it. neither can the raj
rOads,-except indirectly, y,-for neither Of then
have lands to offer, as the States, and railroad
in the West have. Hence il must be done bY
the joint Efforts OF individuals; and as they ouQh
not to be expected to sacrifice their property fo
the general good Of the State, without proper
remuneration to themselves Il remains there
fore to show how this may be done, and how
whilst they assist the immigrant, they may al
the same time make an investmen; As profitable
and as secure as United States bonds.
As we have often said before, the eAss ofim
migrants whom It is desirable to have, are Tege.
table and fruit growers, none of whom would
require over forty acres OF land to eadl family.
German immigrants who have been twtor more
years in this country, working in themnrkot
gardens in the neigh borho0ds OF our lare cities;
who have harmed to speak our laBguse, and
have become accustomed to our climte, and
modes OF cultivation; are the most desirable and
suitable class.
They are thrifty, hard working, and Toney
getting people, generally have some sire Of
hard-earned money in the savings banks; nd il
they could have a suitable length of tih in
which TO pay for the land without Gripping tim.
selves for working capital they could be INDEED
to purchase lands in this State. We do nobut /
the propositions we are about to make onhe
score Of any sentimental benevOlence, bubn /
the score OF a plain practical, business trans
ton which will inure to the benefit OF both ps
ties. We therefore make the following:
