1087 - L Aug. 22; ed: 3/2 - The large and increasing emigration from Great
Britain and Ireland to the United States, and the enlistment of many im-
migrants in the Union army is causing much comment and discussion in the
British parliament.
In a speech Lord Howard says that the U. S. government has recruit-
ing agents on emigrant ships; also, that Englishmen, permitted to get
drunk on arrival in this country, have entered the Union forces to their
regret. "Such outrages are not confined to foreigners, however, and we
wish that means could be taken to stop them. We have failed to discover
any case that any state or federal officer had knowingly forced an emigrant
against his will into service, and as long as good land and high wages are
more easily obtained in this country than in England, there will not be
wanting Englishmen, Irishmen and other Europeans ready to avail themselves
of the offered advantages." (13)
