Considering then the first and certain portions of the second class, as the description of foreign- ers whom it is for the national interest to receive into our population, the next inquiry is, in what mode and to what extent their migration may be facilitated and encouraged. In respect to the passage across the Atlantic, there is no doubt that the mercenary views of some owners of ships or their captains, operating on the general ignorance of peasantry in respect to naval matters, have produce...d sickness and death to many of their passengers. This is a cause of public interference as well on the part of the nation, from which the migration takes place, as on the part of that to which it is directed. 22 Considerations of humanity are binding upon both. But the European nation is additionally stimu- lated by tbe desire of restraining emigration ; and hence some recent regulations of the British Par- liament have taken place on this subject. With us the additional motive is that a healthy and efficient population should alone be intro- duced.
