Many battalions of tins hardy men might now have been added to our Militia ‘ , if proper means had been adopted since ithe year 1846 to induce them to remain in Canada, but no, quite the reverse was the modus operandi of the then existing Governâ€" ment. 1t was deemed quite sufficient for the well paid and pompous. emigrant agent, to dols out to the unfortunates, five or six days‘ scanty allowance of bread after their arâ€" rival, with the ultimatam, that no further asâ€" sistauce would be given: they must cither work or starve. Frequently have I known emiâ€" grants craving from the agent means to take them into the interior of the country, where they had frienas to provide for their future ; but no! not one dollar could be turnished. In 1847 the distress prevailing in Toronto was so great that the writer, ;nmed by humane friends, collected money, hired teams, and transported ssveral families into the country, where, I am proud to say, tty have succeedâ€" ::‘ in rescuing t::: famil k‘m poverty degradation, now rank amongs? our best farmers.

It will not be difficult to select a few hones: M‘nldlcnl »en, and. send them to Europe for purpose of giving truthful facts of our climate, manufactures and fariaing prospécts; this I believe to be an easy task, but when the emigrant arrives on our shores, then inâ€" deed is the time for the Government to adopt means, not only to keep the cmigrant in â€"the Dominion, but afford him every facility to éctâ€" tle on our wild lands, ‘This hitherio‘ has been the stumbling block. Instead, thereâ€" fore, of paying high salaries to emiâ€" grant agents> in all the cities of Quebec and Ontario, 1 should recommend that one office be established in Quebec only, and the officer in charge to be empowered to transmit emigrants to a local agent, who ought to be appointed contiguous to the Government lands in cach county. ‘This local agent to transmit to the ‘head office in Quebec, on or before the first day of Murch in each year, an authentic list of lands to be granted, together with a list of applicants for servants, includâ€" ing men, women and children. ‘Thik latter information he can obtain from the local councils in each municipality, and a phalanx of good useful setilers may soon be located in the country, instead of allowing them to beâ€" come paupers and a nuisance to the eities, Thousands of emigrants have left our shores, within ‘the last few years, for the United States, simply from the tact that no fostericg hand was offtered for their protection, and they have now become the bone and sinew of our rivals, A wise and good Government will always :mmake ample provision for ¢migrants, if it desires the prosperity of the country, and especially do I hope that the present members Dear Siz,â€"As our Government lands ought to be made the chief inducement for immiâ€" gration, I shall briefly make a few remarks upon the inefliciency of the present rules and regulations of the Crown Lands Department, with the hope that the Legislature of Ontario may fearlessly apply a speedy remedy to the evils existing in this section of the Dominâ€" ion,. In the first place, interested speculators in timber have managed successfully, for many years, to make the Government believe that the wild lands in the county of Renfrew and Nippissing District, are only valuable for the timber growing thereon, and consequently not worth tillage. Upon this hypothesis the rapacious demands of the lun.ber merchants have generally been cranted, and (heir reports fully credited, to the great injury of immiâ€" gration and the poor settlers already located upon (their limits. _A more suicidal policy could not be devised than the present system of allowing one man to become, de fucto, the lord and proprietor of tracts ot land, vasyingâ€" from fifty to two hundred and fifty square miles. These favored limit holders have invaâ€" riably stated to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, or perhaps more irequently to their great friend, the Deputy Commissioner, that the limits, for which they apply, contain no lands fit for agricultural purposes. ‘The limit holdâ€" er then pays hbis ground rent, 50 cents per To the Editor of the Daily Tixcs 619tny50.â€"2 WILD LANDS AND IMMIGRATION. the Wheeler & Wilson has come to the ol ; upon hi Yours tmly," G.
