IMMIGRATION.
To the Editor of the Marlborough Press. Sir,—His Honor the Superintendent, in his speech at the opening of the Provincial Council on the 23rd ult., stated that the General Government had been asked to co-opevate in introducing immigrants into this province. I did think, as regards Marlborough, that assisted immigration had become a thing of the past. What is the object of endeavoring to resuscitate it I do not know, for the supply of labor is evidently fully equal to the demand. The scant provincial funds would doubtlessly be better employed in many other ways. The best settlers are those who introduce themselves ; and the province will find no lack of these, so long as work and fair remuneration is to be had in it. I am, &c, Laborer.
