Mr. President. the Senator from Tennessee has anticipated what I was about to say in regard to that point. Ever since the opening of our western Territories to settlement emigration of this kind has been on its way. The State which the emigration seeks has sought to encourage and create the spirit which has moved the emigrant westward. About our railroad stations. in our newspapers. in our village libraries today. the States of the West and of the South. or the landagents who desire to have those States popalated. are circulating the advertisements and the inducements to this emigration. The State of Ohio was colonized by people from my own county. But. for the first time in the history of the country. a Senator representing the State which emigration so seeks gets up and asserts or intimates that. in his judgment. it will be discovered that all these emigrants are making a great mistake. and that if they expect to find what has been held out to them they will be disappointed. Now. I would like to have the Senator from North Carolina. in answer to my question. inform me what it is that induces these emigrants from North Carolina to seek such a disappointment as the Senator from Indiana says awaits them in that State.
