To the citizens of the United States the following History of Immigration is respectfully submitted, in the belief that it will prove to them an acceptable offering, since, by the aid of the facts contained therein, they may accurately determine the elements which have contributed to the unexampled growth of the American Republic. As to the question of the good or bad effect resulting to this country from immigration, the author earnestly disclaims the desire to promulgate any opinion which he may entertain; he has, in the compilation of this history, embodied facts only: and, he leaves it to the enlightened understanding of the people of the United States to arrive at just conclusions from the premises therein presented. The Statements contained in it have been compiled, entirely, from official documents: First, and chiefly, from the Annual Reports on Immigration prepared at the Department of State, and by the Secretary communicated to Congress in compliance with a requirement of the Passenger Act of March 2, 1819. Secondly, from Passenger Abstracts transmitted to the Secretary of State by Collectors of the Customs, and on file in the Department, yet not embraced in the Annual Reports on Immigration, because not received until those Reports had been completed and laid before Congress. Thirdly, from such custom-house records as furnished immigration statistics never communicated to the Secretary, or which, if ever communicated, are now missing from the files of the Department. The facts thus accumulated, and exhibited in the tables which follow, contain all the available official information of importance in possession of the country relative to its immigration. 12 PREFACE. Fifteen months have elapsed since the compilation of this work was begun, and almost every hour not employed in the discharge of official duties has been devoted to the task. Even a cursory examination of the published Reports on Immigration, to be found in the Executive Documents of Congress, will show the extent and intricacy of the author's labors. The first Report, embracing returns for the year ending September 30, 1820, consists of literal copies of passenger manifests containing over ten thousand names, to each of which are affixed the corresponding age, sex, occupation, and country of birth; thus presenting in detail, and without classification, more than fifty thousand items, forming a book of about three hundred pages. In the present work, recapitulations of that Report are given, occupying only four pages. The subsequent Reports, although more condensed than the one mentioned, are quite voluminous. Many of them are without method, have no recapitulations appended to them, and, as published, contain numerous typographical as well as clerical errors. Even the Reports for the last three years, which have been prepared with great care, and which are much more perfect than those preceding, have been recapitulated anew in order to embrace additional information, and to secure a systematic classification. In conclusion, the author remarks, that, from the commencement of this work to the completion of it, he has been mindful of the fact, that, to the general reader it can not prove attractive; and the only encouragement he has received to prosecute the task and to finish it, has been derived from the consideration that a history of Immigration, exhibiting the number and sex, age, occupation, and country of birth, of passengers arriving in the United States, so far as the same is officially known, would, if presented to the public in the present form, never become obsolete, nor be supplanted by another work of a simlilar kind, but would exist as a book of reference so long as the American People shall feel an interest in a subject which so vitally concerns them. TASIIINGTON, I. C., lar~clh, 1856. INTRODUCTORY R1EMIARKS. PROGRESS AND EXTENT OF IMMIGRATION PRIOR TO 1819. WE will first consider very briefly the progress and extent of immigration to the United States of America prior to 1819, the year in which the present official history begins. As, on this point, no authentic information exists, it Imust be determined by such evidence as statisticians of that period possessed, and by the rela, tions then existing between the United States and the countries from which persons emigrated. The current of migration commenced its flow from England, Ireland, and Scotland, and from Germany through the French and British ports. It was subject to many fluctuations during a part of this time, but continued with considerable uniformity, it is believed, until 1806. Mr. Samuel Blodget, a statistician of more than ordinary research and accuracy, wrote in 1806, while every fact in regard to immigration was fresh in the minds of the people, that from " the best records and estimates at present attainable," the immigrants arriving in this country did not average, for the ten years from 1.784 to 1794, more than 4,000 per annum.' During 1794, 10,000 persons were estimated to have arrived in the United States from foreign countries.t In 1818, Dr. Adam Seybert, member of the House of Represeli Blodget's Statistical Manual, page 75. t Cooper's Information respecting America. London, 1795. 14 ~INTRODUCTORY REMIARKS. tatives from Pennsylvania, in his exceedingly valuable "' Statistical Annals" of the United States, wrote to the following effect:-' Though we admit that ten thousand foreigners may have arrived in the United States in 1794, we can not allow that they did so, in an equal number, in any preceding or subsequent year, until 1817;" and he assumes that 6,000 persons arrived in the United States from foreign countries in each year from 1790 to 1810:' to him, and to the authorities he consulted, this average seemed a generous one. During the ten years from 1806 to 1816, extensive immigration to the United States was precluded by the unfriendly relations at that time existing between Great Britain, France, and the United States. England maintained the doctrine, and for a while enforced it with success, that "' a man, once a subject, was always a subject." This deterred many from emigrating to this country from the British empire. Numbers had previously come for the purpose of entering the American merchant-service, and numbers still might have come which the fear of British impressment frightened from carrying out their design. Another influence retarded immigration: in 1806, Great Britain issued a decree declaring the coasts of France in a state of blockade. A retaliatory decree was, in November of the same year, issued by France, declaring the British isles in a state of blockade. To these restrictions on commnerce — and, consequently, on the unobstructed passage from Europe — succeeded the British orders in council, and the Milan decree of Napoleon. In March, 1809, the United States law was passed prohibiting for one year intercourse with Great Britain and France. In 1810, the Napoleonic decrees were annulled; and the cominerce of the United States had, in 1811, fairly commenced with France, but only to have their vessels fall into the hands of the British. Preparations were now making for active hostilities, and on the x Seybert's Annals, pp. 28 and 29. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 15 18th of June, 1812, war was formally declared by the United States to exist with Great Britain. The German emigration sensibly felt this unfavorable condition of affairs, inasmuch as the Germans embarked principally at the ports of Liverpool and Havre; facilities for migrating thence to this country being more numerous, and the expense of the voyage less onerous. Thus, from 1806, was the stream of emigration pent up at its fountain. In February, 1815, peace was concluded between the United States and Great Britain; and, after several months requisite to restore tranquillity and to secure the confidence of those desiring to leave the Old World, the tide resumed its flow, and with a speed greatly accelerated: as, from authentic information, collected principally at the several customhouses, it appears that, during the year 1817, not less than 22,240 persons arrived at ports of the United States from foreign countries. This number included Amnerican citizens returning from abroad.i In no year previous to that had one half so many foreign passenlgers reached our shores. Many sufferings were incident to a voyage across the Atlantic in a crowded emigrant-vessel; and there were no laws of the United States either limiting the number of persons which a passenger ship or vessel should be entitled to carry, or providing any measures for the health or accommodation of the passengers. The subject seemed to deserve the immediate attention of Congress. In 1818 (March 10), Louis M'Lane, of Delaware, reported to the House of Representatives a bill "1 regulating passenger ships and vessels," which was read twice and referred.f In December of the following session it was called up by Thomas Newton, of Virginia, who explained the necessity of its passage. It was read a third time and passed by the House. - Even in 1816 emigration was to some extent impeded. An act of the Britislh Parliament allowed vessels to carry from Great Britain and Ireland to the United States only one passenger for every five tons, while it allowed vessels to carry to other foreign countries one passenger for every two tons. t Seybert, p. 29. 4 See Annals of Congress, 1818 and 1819. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. After receiving amendments from both the Senate and House, it was finally passed, and approved March 2, 1819.' In compliance with a requirement of this act, collectors of the customs have reported quarter-yearly to the Secretary of State the number of passengers arriving in their collection-districts by sea from foreign countries; also the sex, age, and occupation, of such passengers, and the country in which they were born. Annual reports, embracing that information, have, in conformity with the same act, been communicated to Congress by the Secretary of State; and, as before indicated, from these reports, chiefly, this history has been compiled. The following statements exhibits the PROGRESS AND ]EXTENT OF IMIMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES, FROMe SlPrTEMIBER 30, 1819, TO DECEMBER 31, 1855.

The country having the largest emigration is, doubtless, Ireland; for, in addition to the 747,930 persons arriving from the United ]Kingdom, known to have been born in Ireland, it is safe to assume that, of the 1,348,682 others born, as indefinitely stated, in 1" Great Britain and Ireland," arriving in the United States, 1,000,000 were born in Ireland alone, thus making 1,747,930 as the total Irish emigration. Next in numerical order comes Germany; England, third; and France, fourth. The emigration of Chinese to this country was very inconsiderable until 1854, previous to which year the aggregate number known to have arrived was only 88. In that year, however, 13,100 came to the United States; and, in 1855, 3,526; all of whom, with the exception of a single passenger, landed at the port of San Francisco: 15,950 were males, and were designated in the returns of the collector as " Laborers." As regards passengers from British America, the fact may be deemed worthy of mention, that many of them, especially of those arriving during the last four years, are known to have come with the intention of returning, and not of residing in the United States. The number of such can not, however, be determined. Finally, to the 4,212,624 passengers of foreign birth arriving in the United States since September 30, 1819, may be added 250,000 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 19 as the number of immigrants who arrived prior to that date; making the total of foreign arrivals from the close of the Revolutionary War to December 31, 1855, 4,462,624. LEGAL RIGHTS OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS. ALIENS, naturalized agreeably to the acts of Congress,' are not prohibited by the constitution of the United States the enjoyment of the same rights, and to the same extent, as natural-born citizens -with the single proviso that no person shall be eligible to the office of President or Vice-President except a citizen native born, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the federal constitution: Congress can make no law to prohibit the free exercise of their religion; nor to abridge their freedom of speech: The right of security in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, is not denied to them; nor are they prohibited the purchase and occupation of lands owned by the government. The constitutions of the several states concede to naturalized citizens, who may take up their residence within the states, in general the same rights as are enjoyed by persons born therein. Among these rights may be mentioned that of electing and of being elected to office. * See Appendix. 20 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. PLAN OF THE WORK.

[Sec. 26, Revised Statutes, chap. 16.] TIuE following States also, namely, NEw YORi, NEW HAMPSHIRE, MAINE, MARYLAND, LOUISIANA, and TEXAS, have, each, laws relative to the introduction of immigrants, requiring of the owner, or master, or consignee of the ship or vessel landing foreign passengers, a well-secured bond to the people of the State, conditioned to indemnify and save harmless for a specified term of years every city, town, and county of the State from any cost which it may incur for the relief and support of such passengers. In lieu of such bond, commutation money may, in certain cases, be substituted. The publication of these laws is, however, omitted, since they provide no penalties with regard to the importation of paupers, convicts, lunatics, &c., similar to those contained in the laws from which extracts have been given, and are, moreover, too voluminous for the limits of this work. LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES RELATIVE TO THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS IN PASSENGER-SHIPS AND VESSELS, THE first Act of Congress "regulating passenger-ships and vessels," was approved March 2, 1819. By this Act, a passenger-ship or vessel was allowed to carry two passengers, and not more than two, to every five tons of her measurement according to the customhouse rule. A second Act, approved February 22, 1847, allowed to each passenger "fourteen clear superficial feet of deck" on the lower deck or platform, if such vessel were not to pass within the tropics during the voyage: but if such vessel were to pass within the tropics during the voyage, then "twenty such clear superficial feet of deck" were allotted to each passenger: and, to each passenger on the orlop deck (if any) " thirty such superficial feet in all cases." Such space, occupied by passengers and appropriated for their use, was to be unoccupied by stores or other goods, not being the personal luggage of such passengers. Such ship or vessel to have not more than two tiers of berths: the berths to be well constructed, and to be at least six feet in length and eighteen inches in width for each passenger. Children under the age of one year not to be included in the computation of the number of passengers. Two children, each under the age of eight years, to be estimated as equal to one passenger. A third Act was approved March 2, 1847. So much of the second Act as authorizes shippers, in the assignment of room, to estimate two children of eight years of age and under as equal to one passenger was, by this Act, repealed. A fourth Act, regulating the transportation of colored emigrants from the United States to the coast of Africa, was approved January 31, 1848. It contained, however, no provision relating to the bringing of immigrants to this country. LAWS RELATIVE TO THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS. 207 A fifth Act,'a to provide for the ventilation of passenger-vessels, and for other purposes," was approved May 17, 1848. In the framing of the previous acts, the comfort and health of the passengers do hiot seem to have been specially consulted. In this Act, however, there were several humane provisions. It provided for a more complete ventilation of the vessel. It prescribed the quantity of supplies of provisions, water, and fuel. It established cooking-ranges for the use of the passengers. It made it the duty of the captain to cause the apartment occupied by the passengers to be kept, at all times, in a clean and healthy state. It amended the Act of February 22, 1847, so that, instead of fourteen feet, as prescribed in said Act, sixteen clear superficial feet should be allowed to each passenger, if the distance between decks were less than six feet and not less than five feet: and if less than five feet, then twenty-two clear superficial feet were allotted to each passenger: and it repealed so much of former laws as limited the number of passengers to two for every five tons. A sixth Act was approved March 3, 1849. It required the owners and masters of passenger-vessels to furnish to each passenger the daily supply of water mentioned in the fourth Section of the Act of May 17, 1848; but repealed the allowance of food and fuel prescribed therein, and only required of such owners and masters to " furnish, or cause the passengers to furnish for themselves, a sufficient supply of good and wholesome food." It amended the Act of February 22, 1847, so that a vessel passing into or through the tropics should be allowed to carry the same number of passengers as vessels that did not enter the tropics. This Act, so far as it permitted passengers to " furnish for themselves a sufficient supply of good and wholesome food," was ill-advised, inasmuch as it is well known that immigrants, in order to avoid expense, have, not unfrequently, subsisted on the scantiest fare during the voyage, while the owners and masters of such vessels remained in ignorance of the fact. Health and strength are desirable elements in the character of immigration, and immigrants, on reaching our shores, should not be wasted by sickness nor weakened by hunger. This truth seems to have been considered in the framing of the seventh, and last "Act to regulate the carriage of passengers in steamships and other vessels," approved March 3, 1855. By this Act all former laws regulating the carriage of passengers in passenger-ships and vessels are expressly repealed, and new regulations in regard to the same are instituted. These Acts are herewith published in full, and in the order of their approval. Annexed to them will be found " General Regulations, No. 45," issued to Collectors and other officers of the customs, by the Treasury De.. partment, under the Passenger-Act now in force. 208 LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AN ACT regulating passenger-ships and vessels. SEC. 1.

Approved, March 3, 1855. General Regulations No. 45. —Under the act to regulate the carriage of passengers in steamships and other vessels, approved March 3, 1855. To Collectors and other Offcers of the Customs. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 23, 1855. THE attention of collectors and other officers of the customs, as well as all persons interested and engaged in carrying passengers in steamships and other vessels, is especially called to the provisions of the annexed act of Congress, approved March 3, 1855, entitled, "An act to regulate the carriage of passengers in steamships and other vessels," and a strict compliance with its terms and provisions enjoined upon the aforesaid officers and othei' persons interested. 224 LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES It will be observed that, while this act prescribes spaces of certain clear superficial feet of deck to each passenger (other that cabin passengers), it moreover fixes a maximum by restricting the number of such passengers allowed to be carried in any such vessel in the proportion of one to every two tons of said vessel's tonnage measurement, excluding children under the age of one year from the computation, and computing two children over one and under eight years of age as one passenger. It follows, that though a vessel might afford clear spaces of the dimensions indicated for a greater number of passengers than one to every two tons of her tonnage measurement, yet if the number shall exceed that allowed by her tonnage measurement, the penalties imposed by the law would attach; or if her tonnage measurement should allow a greater number of passengers than according to the clear spaces prescribed by law she could carry, yet if the number shall exceed that allowed by the clear spaces prescribed by law, the penalties imposed by the law would equally attach. In other words, the one rule, as to the number of passengers a vessel is entitled to carry, is a limitation upon the other. The tonnage of each vessel, according to customhouse measurement, must, therefore, be ascertained, as well as the measurement of the spaces allotted to passengers, in order to determine the number of passengers she is entitled to carry. In order to determine the number' of passengers a vessel is entitled to carry in accordance with the spaces prescribed by this act, the height between decks must be measured from the bottom edge of the carlings or deck beams to the top floor below; and no space shall be considered available for passengers that has not, when measured in this manner, the height called for by the law, as the case may be; nor shall any space in a vessel of a less width than four feet be measured; provided, however, if the vessel shall, in accordance with the provisions of the first section of this act, carry any portion of her cargo, or any other article or articles, on any of the decks, cabins, or other places appropriated to the use of passengers, in lockers or enclosures prepared for the purpose, the height between decks shall be measured from the bottom edge of the carlings or deck beams to the upper surface of said lockers or enclosed spaces, which shall be deemed and taken to be the deck or platform from which measurement shall be made for all the purposes of this act, and the spaces occupied by said lockers or enclosed spaces shall be deducted from the spaces allowable for the use of passengers. For example: the spaces in the main and poop decks or platforms, and in the deck-houses, if any there be, will be 16 by 6=96 feet;' lower deck, 18 by 6-108 feet; two-deck vessels, 14 by 7=- 105 feet. The encumbering by uierchandise or stores, not the personal baggage of the passengers, except in locker or enclosures prepared for the purpose, of any part of the space occupied by the passengers, will vitiate the whole RELATIVE TO THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS BY SEA. 225 space, unless the part so encumbered be separated from that so occupied, by a substantial bulkhead. The deck or platform must be of a permanent nature, flush, and impervious to water. Collectors will keep a special account of the moneys received under the fourteenth section of this act on account of deceased passengers; and, before making payments to any board or commission of the description mentioned in the law, will make a report to the Department of the number and designation of the boards or commissions appointed and acting under the authority of the State in which their respective ports are situated, to enable the Department to determine which is entitled to receive the same. It will be perceived that the nineteenth section of this act expressly repeals all former laws on the subject, except so far as concerns the prosecution, recovery, distribution, or remission of any fines, penalties, and -forfeitures which may have been incurred under former laws prior to the day this act shall go into effect; which, with respect to vessels sailing from ports in the United States on the eastern side of the continent, is within thirty days from the time of its approval; with respect to vessels sailing from ports in the United States on the western side of the continent, rnad firom ports in Europe, is within sixty days from the time of its approval; and in respect to vessels sailing from ports in other parts of the world, is within six months from the time of its approval. The provisions of existing laws will be enforced until this act shall go into effect, as above specified. It is deemed sufficient only further to call your particular attention to the first, second, sixth, tenth, eleventh, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth sections of this act, in which certain provisions, different from existing laws, have been enacted, and to state that all the requirements of said sections must be strictly enforced. Collectors are directed to furnish the masters of all vessels engaged in transporting passengers between their respective ports and foreign countries, and each owner or consignee of any such vessel residing at their ports, with one copy of this circular.
