Here is an emigration of nearly two and a half millions—enough to fill one of our largest States. It will be noticed that all are from European nationalities, . except about 05,000 from China. Since these reports were made, on the 30th of June last, measures have been set on foot to increase the immigration from various countries of Asia. In the next five years we may look for a number to arrive equal in the total to three millions. We want a homogeneous population, of one language, educated in our common schools, without distinction of political parties or religious seqts.
