I have said to myself how. oh. how shall we repeople our great State ? I estimate that not less than five thousand people and one million and a half of dollars have gone from the second district of Alabama to Texas in the past twelve years. If we vote this subsidy to open up a new country from which immigration agents will come. caring nothing for the welfare of the emigrant. but representing Texas as a new El Dorado. knowing that the emigrant cannot get back when he gets there. it is safe to say that another five thousand people and another million and a half of dollars will go from my district to Texas. Sir. I cannot do it.
