The purposes and objects the assOci-
alton are in the highest deeree harmOni-
Exposition, VIZ: the development Of the
South by securing settlers from the East,
the North, the West, and from Europe,
who will bring their health. strength, in
telligence, industry and frugality mot
paupers or men unable to secure a living
at honey but men who viii pay their
way, and come because they are ambi-
ti0us to improve their condition. This is
the class Of immigrants that the South
SC, t,
adopt measures to secure.
The plans Ofthe association will include
the following bureaus or departments:
Castle Garden, Labor, Land, Transports
ton, Foreign Agencies, Information and
Statistics, and County Organization. In
the matter Of county organization the as
ISOLATION proposes to secure complete and
effective work by the establishment OF
County Bureau" in each county of the

be delegated the local work Of immigra-

1t is intended to operate the association

railroads and others to advertise abroad

In appealing to the public for support by
subscriptions to stock, il is enough to
say that the money VIII be applied to Sc
cure an end supported by every noted
writer and journal as the crying want of
the time and section; that every public
spirited man can subscribe, II only to the
extent OF a single So share, with the as
surance that it will speedily return to
