Immigration and Immigration
Schemes.
In spite of the folly of our last Legis
lature, in defeating the immigration bill,
and failing to manifest any practical
interest in securing additional popula
tion or capital from abroad, there is a
universal conviction that such acquisi.
lions constitute the only hope of a speedy
restoration of onr old prosperity. It is
a foregone conclusion that the supply of
labor is not at all adequate to the de
mand, and that we must loot to Europe
for the chief addition to this essential
element of recuperation. Various plans
are devised for attracting laborers from
abroad. Some are calling for land
companies, and some are advertising to
bring laborers, like sheep in the sham
bles, at so much per head, conditioned
to labor for a specified time at so much
per month.
Both these schemes we regard ns very
far short of meeting the great want of
the country. Land companies might be
so organized as to induce immigration ;
and, if honestly managed, would prove
advantageous, especially to the stock
holders. lint intelligent immigrants—
such as are desired to develope our
country —will be suspicious of a stock
company, and regard it a combination
with the odds against them.
The immigrant agencies are still less
desirable as a regular means of acquir
ing the desired class of settlers. It has
been found that those who are willing
to coutract to go with strangers to a
strange country at so much a month,
are usually the dregs of society, little
likely to fulfill their contracts; or, if
faithful to them for a time, and excited
to improve their condition, will soon
find it to their interest to buy or lease
jands and set up for themselves.
This has been especially true of the
laborers furnished through the associa
tions of New York. We do not mean
to oppose the efforts now being made by
enterprising parties in Georgia, to bring
over laborers direct from Scotland, or
other parts of Europe.
By personal representations of the
plans and terms of immigration, a some
what better class than those heretofore
brought amonar us, may be secured. But
we very gravely doubt the propriety of
retying, to any great extent, on this kind
of immigrant labor. Their habits and
modes of life are so unlike the planta
tion routine to which we have been ac
customed, that they are pretty certain to
become dissatisfied, and thus subject
their employers to great annoyance and
loss. A great objection to this plan, at
the present time, even if it promised
eventual advantage, is the expense to
be incurred. Money must be advanced
for passage for these immigrants, for
commissions, and other expenses of the
gentlemen who are engaged in these
enterprises. Then they must be sup
ported until a crop is ma*de. It is too
evident to need argument, that what we
most need is self-sustaining labor, or in
other words, occupants and purchasers
es our surplus lands, who will become
permanent and useful citizens, and who
will bring with them some present means
of support. Thousands of farms are
now lying dismantled and idle because
the owners are not able to equip them
and feed the laborers till harvest. Os
what use'to them are a legion of labor
ers at stated wages .per month ?
Therefore, while we bid God speed
to any and all proper efforts for increas
ing our snpply of laborers, we do not
think eitder of the plans proposed the
best suited to our present condition.
Our true policy unquestionably is, to
induce the sturdy middle or rural
classes of Europe to become permanent
settlers among us. They usually have
means to establish themselves as owners
or tenants of small farms, nnd would
be, from the' fiist, self supporting, and,
therefore, not <t burden on our impover
ished planters.
The statistics of immigration at New
York show, that in the year 1866,
104,000 immigrants landed in that city
frotnEngland and Ireland, and 106,000
from Germany , while from all the rest
of the world there were less than 50,000.
The German portion of these immi.
grants chielly consisted of families of
respectability, who are dissatisfied with
the changes incident to the late Prus
sian conquest, and who brought with
them more or less property. It is also
a fact to be noted, that large numbers
of them foul through tickets to the I Vest.
These are the people whose acquisi
tiou is most desirable for the South.
How to secure them, we will make the
subject of a future article.

The Queen's Speech.
We publish below the speech of
Queen Victoria before the British Par
liament. It was delivered before that
bo<|f on Ihe slh inst., received ik Lou
isville, Ky., the same day, published in
the daily papers ot that city on the 6th
inst., received here by mail yesterday,
and published in the Dmii.y Press of
this morning—only four days alter its
deliver;. Is not this a great triumph
of this fast age ? It certainly is ; and
must awaken a feeling of surprise, when
the distance between the two continents
and the circuitous route it has come to
this point are considered .
It is an interesting document, refer
ring to America affairs, the Fenian
movement, and other subjects ot gen
eral interest. Hence wc give it in full,
and commend its perusal to our
readers:
My Loros: Again recurring to your
advice and assistance, I am happy to
inform sou that my relations with for
eign powers are on a friendly and satis
factory tooting. I hope that the war
iu wliich Prussia, Au.tria, and Italy
have been engaged, may lead to the
establishment ot a durable peace in
Europe.
I have suggested to the Government
of the United States a mode by which
the questions pending between the two
countries, arising out of the civil war,
may receive an amicable solution, and
anJ which, met as 1 trust it will be, in
a corresponding spirit, will remove all
grounds ot possible misunderstanding,
and promote relations of cordial friend
ship.
The war between Spain and the Re
publics of Chile and Peru still continue.
The good officers of my Government,
in conjunction with that of the Em
peror of the French, having failed to
effect a reconciliation of either by
agreement with parties themselves, or
by the mediation of other friendly powers,
peace should be restored, the objects
which I have in view will be equally
attained.
The discontent prevailing in some of
the provinces of the Turkish Empire
has broke out in actual insurrection in
Crete. In common with my nliies, the
Emperor of the French and the Em
peror of Russia, I have abstained from
any active interference iu these internal
disturbances, but joint efforts have been
directed to bringing about improved
relations between the Porte and its
Christian subjects, not inconsistent with
the sovereign rights of the Sultan.
The* protracted negotiations which
arose out of the acceptance by Prince
Charles of Hoheuzohlen of the Governor
ship of the Danubiau Principalities,
have been happily terminated by an
arrangement wliich hns been sanctioned
by the concurrence of nil the powers
who signed the treaties of 1856.
Resolutions in favor of a more in
timate union of the provincesof Canada,
Nova Scotia and New Bruns vick, have
been passed by their several Legisla
tures, and delegates duly authorized,
representing all classes of colonial party,
and opinions have concurred in condi
tions upon which such an union may be
best effected. In accordance with their
wishes, a bill will be submitted to you,
which, by the consolidation of colonial
interests and resources, will give
strength to the Sovereign Provinces as
members of the same Empire, and
animated by feelings of loyalty to the
same Sovereign.
1 have heard with deep sorrow that
the calamity ot famine pressed heavily
on my subjects in some parts of India.
Instructions were issued to iny Govern
ment in that country to make the ut
most exertions to mitigate the distress
which prevailed during the autumn of
last year. The blessing of an abundant
harvest has since that time improved the
condition of the suffering districts.
The persevering efforts and unsernpu
lous assertion of treasonable conspira
tors during the last autumn have excited
the hopes of some disaffected persons in
Ireland, and the apprehensions of the
loyal population ; but the firm and tem
perate exercise of the power entrusted
to the Executive, and the hostility mani
fested against the conspiracy bv men of
all classesand creeds have greatly tended
to restore public confidence and have
rendered hopeless any attempt to disturb
the general tranquility. I trust that you
will, consequently, be enabled to dis
pense with the continuance of any ex
ceptional legislation of that part of my
dominions.
I acknowledge with deep thankful
ness to Almighty God the great de
crease which has taken place in the
cholera and in the pest which has at
tacked our cattle. Put the continued
prevalence of the latter in some, foreign
countries, and its occasional re-appear
ance in this, will render necessary some
special measures of precaution, and I
trust that the visitation of the former
will lead to increased attention to those
sanitary means and measures which ex
perience has shown to be the best pre
ventative. Estimating of the highest
importance an adequate supply of pure
aud wholesome water, I have directed
the issue of a commission to inquire
into the bfest means of permanently
securing such a supply for the Metro
polis, and for the principal towns of the
densely populated districts of the king
dom.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
I have directed the estimates for the
ensuing year to be laid before you.
They have been prepared with a due
regard to economy and the require
ments of the public service. You will.
I am sure, give your ready assent to a
moderate expenditure calculated to
improve the condition of my soldiers,
and to lay the foundation of iny efficient
army of reserve.
Lords and Gentlemen : Your atten
tion will again be called to the state of
the representation of the population in
Parliament, and I trust your delibera
tions, conducted in a spirit of firmness,
moderation, aud mutual forbearance,
may lead to the adoption .of measures
which, without undue disturbance of
the balance of political power, shall
freely extend the elective franchise.
The frequent occurrence of disagree
ment between the employers of labor
and their workmen, causing much private
suffering and public loss, and occasion
ally lending, as is alleged, to acts of
outrage and violence, has induced me
to issue a commission to inquire into
and report on the organisation of trades,
union and other societies whether of
workingmen or employers, with power
to suggest any improvement of the laws
for their benefit. Application will be
made to you for parliamentary powers
which will be necessary to made the
iiiqiiiry cffcctire.
1 have directed bills to be laid before
you for extension to other trades of
beneficial provisions of factory acts
especially reported by royal commission
in the employment of children and for
better regulation, according to the prin
ciple of these acts, of workshops where
women and children are largely em
ployed.
The condition of the mercantile ma
rine has attracted my serious attention.
Complaints are made that the supply of
seamen is deficient, and provisions for
their health ahd discipline on board are
imperfect. Measures will be submitted
to you with a view So increase the effici
ency of this important service. I have
observed with satisfaction the relaxation
recently introduced In the navigation
laws of France. I have expressed to
the Emperor my readiness to Submit to
Parliament a proposal for extinction on
equitable terms of the exemption from
local charges on shipping wliich arc still
enjoyed by a limited number ot individ
uals in British ports, and the French
government have in anticipation of this
step already admitted British ships to
the adysntagi-s of the new law. A bill
upon this subject will forthwith be laid
before you.
A hill will also be submitted for
making provision for arrangement of
affairs of Kail Co.’s which are uuablu
to meet engagements.
Measures will be submitted for im
proving the management ot the sick
and all other poor in the metropolis,
and for the re distribution of some of
the charges for relief therein. Y'our
attention will also be called to the
amendment of the law of bankruptcy,
to the consolidation of the courts ot
probate, Biid of divorce and admiralty,
and to the means of dispensing with
greater dispatch and frequency of in
creasing business in superior courts of
common law and at the Assizes.
'lhe relations of landlord and tenant
in Ireland have engaged my attention,
and a bill will be laid before you, which,
without interfering with the rights of
property, will offer direct encourage
ment to occupiers of land to improve
their holdings.ond provide a simple mode
of obtaining compensation for perma
nent improvement.
I recommend to you a careful consid
eration of these and other measures
which will be brought before you, and I
pray that your labors may, under the
blessings of Providence, conduce to the
prosperity of the country and the hap
piness of roy people.
