TEXAS ANb Immigration.

State is the great objective point. The
Development of its resources is the
means by which that end can be &C.
New States like Texas
have abundance of land, but they DO
not have in hand the manuel labor
and, the necessary capital and means
to attain the acknowledged desidera-
t.um. Those who most contribute to-
wards the attainment of that end are
the greatest benefactors of the State.
The Southern Immigration Society is
designed to effect the end in view
that is, to bring labor and capital, in
sufficiency, to take advantage Of our
grand natural advantage, and make
Texas, the great Empire State, her
position in the Union entities her to.
The Southern Immigration Associa-
ton, with it's vice-presidency in every
Southern State, Texas being peculiar
ly fortunate in having COLONEL JOHN
+. ELLIOTT as her vice-president, late
commissioner to the Worlds EXPOSE
ton, who is leaving no
stone unturned to iaduce for
eigu capital and immigration
to come among US. The subject de-
mands attention of more than ordina-
ry interest from Southern people now
struggling for material advancement.
1t is not perhaps known that there
is to be in London, in April next,an OK
position whose peculiar characteristic
will be American and in which the ex'
hibitors Of the different States will be
comparatiye-not only as to produce
ton, but adyancemen in scientific man
ufacturing, art culture and all species
OF mind conquest over matter. All the
best of American production OF
thought result should be there, be-
cause we will be on cosmopolitan trial
The Legislature of Texas will
scarcely appreciate the exact condl-
ton of affairs, nor would it be likely
to meet in time to take advantage o
the peculiar situation. Nevertheless
1t must be met by people, like those
of Texas, struggling for great promi
hence and material wealth with the
means within their immediate grasp
Now the question Is to be answered
Shall we make an effort to hold up the
hands of those who have already pu
us forward, or shall the effort be aban
doned2 Not for one moment is thu
question to be discussed. The reply
is consequent upon the question. Thu
men who desire Texas commence
, are those whs can and will make ex
ertion towards the maintenance o
her pre-eminence. Hes railroads
her great business men, he
great landed proprletors, he
, manufacturers and merchants, rs we
as those who have had foreGigt
enough to become interested in he

D demand the closest and most INTEL
0 gent consideration. Not only shout
they act, but act promptly, and sele'
