GOV. IRELAND ENDORSED,
UNANIMOUS PRESS SENTIMENT,

Como Amongst Us.
IRELANp's HEAD LlyEI.

We publish Governor Ireland,s let
ter to Horace Baker in ordor to express
approval of the sentiment it contains.
tbs not an evidence OF being a "moss-
back" for the governor to refuse to
lend his name and influence to ire
sponslbie wildcat schemes to induce
pauper emigrants 10 the State. 1t adds
nothing TO the argument to say the
constitution ought TO be changed. The
executive has nothing to do with that !,
he could do nothing but refuse to
comply with Mr.. Bakers request. He
could have refrsined from ex-
pressing an opinion, but he has
o right to his opinions, and the right 10
express them. We have no sympathy
with the governors fear of nour
descendents elbowing each other into
the seas in order TO find Standing
room In the near future" but we do
most cordially approve this sentiment:
'Wnile l desire TO see good men with
vim ana energy come 80 our country.
l am not disposed to aid persona who
hare not the emery and push 10 come of
Sheir own accord" Men of energy
and push are coming to Texas, and
are cordially welcomed by al
lovers OF Texas. But we don't want the
drones of other states; we DON'T want
the scum of the old countries. Indus,
trious, energetic, intelligent, sober
mon from all parts OF the Eastern
States are not only looking, but are
coming here, and in the near future.
Will in immense numbers. These
Will ever find q welcome, and soon
Will Influence multitudes OF others to
come. IL Is nothing but Just TO
state that Governor Ireland is not a
pet OF ours. We severely condemn
some OF his views; but on the immi-
grafton matter, we think his head is
level Dodd City Spectator.
TEXAS NEEDS NO OILERS.
Texas needs no idlers. Mon who are
worthy, and who think they can ele-
vate their condition by settling in
Texas will manage to got hero withou t
outside aid, and when they come this
way IL Is an evidence that they possess
vim and energy, and will make good
cltlZens. Texas has enough nondes-
cripts and idlers already, and IL would
be unwise tor our governor to en-
courage such immigration. There
fore, we publish the letter of the gov.
ernor, and we commend his action I'M
equivocally. There is nothing in it to
discourage tho Immigration we want,
and there Is nothing in it which the
governor or his friends will have cause

NO LUNATICs NOR PAuPERs.
When Texas WAS annexed to the
Union we turned our attention to this
direction, and ever since havo been
calling the attention OF the whole
wsrld to these 275,0Oo square miles, and
we atill claim that we have in Texas,
room for 25,0g0os0 more immigrants
than we now have. We don't want
any moro lunstlcs and paupsrs. bat we
want brains, muscle and industry. -

PAUPrR TRAMPs NOT WANTED.
Governor Ireland Ia lust exactly
right. We want none of the peopl,
who are unable to come to Texas and
commence on their own hook. Immi-
grafton is desirable but, 1t ia only that
sort which will assist to build up and
improve the State, farmers preferred

FAULT-FINDINa ENEMIES.
Fortunately the people have way
Of doing their own thinking, aud will
not be misled by designing newspa-
pers. Governor Ireland haa made q
good, honest governor, and has too
strongly endeared himself to the Texas
people to be laid out by q few enemies,

HOW 1T STANDS.
The Dallas Times thinks Gov. Ire
land exactly right on tho immigration
business, and says IL anybody wsnts
to come to Texas there IN nothing to
prevent them, but the Texas people are
not disposed to have tithing set apart
to pay the expenses OF people who
want to come here Bastrop Advertiser.
