PREFACE.
To the citizens of tlie 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 pre-
pared at the Department of State, and by the Secretary communi-
cated to Congress in compliance with a requirement of the Passen-
ger 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 Depart-
ment, yet not embraced in the Annual Reports on Immigration, be-
cause 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 ex-
amination of the published Reports on Immigration, to be found in
the Executive Documents of Congress, will show the extent and intri-
cacy 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 classifica-
tion, 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 pub-
lished, contain numerous typographical as well as clerical errors.
Even the Reports for the last three years, which have been pre-
pared 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 similar kind, but would exist as a book of ref-
erence so long as the American People shall feel an interest in a
subject which so vitally concerns them.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
PROGEESS AKD EXTENT OF IMMIGEATION 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 must 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 re-
search 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
1784 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.!

14 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS,
tatives from Pennsylvania^ in his exceedingly valuable " Statistical
Annals" of tlie United States, wrote to the following effect: —
" Though we admit that ten thousand foreigners may have ar-
rived 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 Brit-
ish 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 Prance in a state of blockade.
A retaliatory decree was, in November of the same year, issued by
Prance, declaring the British isles in a state of blockade.
To these restrictions on commerce — 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 Prance.
In 1810, the Napoleonic decrees were annulled ; and the com-
merce of the United States had, in 1811, fairly commenced with
Prance, but only to have their vessels fall into the hands of the
British.
Preparations were now making for active hostilities, and on the

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 15
IStli 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 Amer-
ican citizens returning from abroad. f
In no year previous to that had one half so many foreign passen-
gers 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 atten-
tion of Congress. In 1818 (March 10), Louis M^Lane, of Dela-
ware, reported to the House of Representatives a bill "regulating
passenger ships and vessels," which was read twice and referred. |
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 aome extent impeded. An act of the Britisli
Parliament allowed vessels to cany 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.

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 statementf exhibits the
Progress and Extent of Immigration to the United States, from Sep-
tember 30, 1819, to December 31, 1855.

278 were born at the Canary Islands;

Sandwicli "
Society ''
South Sea "
Isle of France ;
St. Helena ;
Australia; and —
157,637 others were born in countries not designated in
the returns made by collectors of the customs.
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 '^ 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
Prance, fourth.
The emigration of Chinese to this country was very inconsidera-
ble 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 col-
lector 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 yeats, 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

as the number of immigrants wlio arrived prior to that date ; making
the total of foreign arrivals from the close of the Eevolutionary War
to December 31^ 1855, 4,462,624.
LEGAL RIGHTS OP 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
of&ce 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 gen-
eral 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.

LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES
RELATIVE TO
NATURALIZATION
KEMARKS.
An Act of Congress to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and to
repeal all former laws passed on that subject, was approved April 14, 1802.
This Act contained certain provisions in favor of aliens residing in the
United States at any time previous to the 29th of January, 1795 [see page
191], and certain other provisions in favor of those who resided in the Uni-
ted States at any time between the 29th of January, 1795, and the 18th of
June, 1799 [see page 192].
By this Act, any alien arriving in the United States after the latter pe-
riod was required, besides other conditions, to comply with the following
before he could be admitted to the rights of citizenship : —
1. He shall declare on oath or affirmation, in some competent court, at
least three years before his admission, that it was, hoiiafide, his intention
to renounce for ever all allegiance to any sovereign or state of which he
was a subject. [See page 190.]
2. He shall swear or affirm that he will support the Constitution of the
United States. [See page 190.]
3. He shall satisfy the court that he has resided within the United States
at least five years, and within the State or Territory where such court is
held at least one year, before he can be admitted. It must further appear
to the satisfaction of the court that he has behaved as a man of good moral
character, attached to the principles of the Constitution, and well disposed
to the good order and happiness of the United States. [See page 190.]
4. He shall renounce every title of nobility held by him. [See page 190.]
Subsequent laws modified this act in the following important particulars : —
A residence in the United States for the continued term of fiye years,
without being at any time without the territory of the same, was required
of aliens by an act approved March 8, 1813. [See page 195.] This pro-
vision, however, v/as repealed by the act of June 26, 1848. [See page 198.]

The following States also, namely, New York, New Hampshire,
Maine, Maryland, Louisiana, and Texas, have, each, laws relative to
the introduction of immigrants, requiring of the owner, or master, or con-
signee of the ship or vessel landing foreign passengers, a well-secured bond
to the people of the State, conditioned to indenmify 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
iieu 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 vohxminous 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 pas-
sengers, 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 iifth Act, " 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 pas-
sengers do liot seem to have been specially consulted. In this Act, how-
ever, 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 al-
lowed to each passenger, if the distance between decks were less than six
feet and not less than five feet : and if less than ^re 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 " fur-
nish, 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 pas-
sengers 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 un-
frequently, 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 immigra-
tion, and immigrants, on reaching our shores, should not be wasted by sick-
ness 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 8, 1855. By this Act all former laws reg-
ulating the carriage of passengers in passenger-ships and vessels are ex-
pressly repealed, and new regulations in regard to the same are instituted.
These Acts are herewith published in full, and in the order of their ap-
proval. Annexed to them will be found " General Kegulations, No. 45,"
issued to Collectors ^nd other officers of the customs, by the Treasury De-
partment, under the Passenger- Act now in force.

States of America in Congress assembled, That no master of any vessel
owned in whole or in part by a citizen of the United States, or by a citizen of

place, other than foreign contiguous territory of the United States, a greater
number of passengers than in proportion of one to every two tons of such
vessel, not including children under the age of one year in the computation,

passenger. That the spaces appropriated for the use of such passengers,
and which shall not be occupied by stores or other goods not being the per-

On the main and poop decks or platforms and in the deck houses, if there be
any, one passenger for each sixteen clear superficial feet of deck, if the
height or distance between the decks or platforms shall not be less than six
feet; and on the lower deck (not being an orlop deck), if any, one passen-
ger for eighteen such clear superficial feet, if the height or distance between
the decks or platforms shall not be less than six feet, but so as that no pas-
senger shall be carried on any other deck or platform, nor upon any deck
where the height or distance between decks is less than six feet, with in-

territory as aforesaid, every such master shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and, upon conviction thereof, before any circuit or district court of
the United States shall, for each passenger taken on board beyond the limit
aforesaid, or the space aforesaid, be fined in the sum of fifty dollars, and
may also be imprisoned, at the discretion of the judge before whom the
penalty shall be recovered, not exceeding six months ; but should it be
necessary for the safety or convenience of the vessel, that any portion of
her cargo or any other articles, or article, should be placed on, or stored in,
any of the decks, cabins, or other places appropriated to the use of passen-
gers, the same may be placed in lockers or enclosures pre23ared for the pur-
pose, on an exterior surface impervious to the wave, capable of being
cleansed in like manner as the decks or platforms of the vessel. In no
case, however, shall the places thus provided be deemed to be a part of the
space allowable for the use of passengers, but the same shall be deducted
therefrom, and in all cases where prepared or used, the upper surface of

passengers, and separate therefrom by an appropriate partition, and fur-
nished as its purposes require, may be prepared, and, when used, may be
included in the space allowable for passengers, but the same shall not oc-

That on board two-deck ships, where the height between the decks is seven
and one half feet or more, fourteen clear superficial feet of deck shall be

each berth shall be occupied by no more than one passenger ; but double
berths of twice the above width may be constructed, each berth to be occu-
pied by no more, and by no other, than two women, or by one woman and
two children under the age of eight years, or by husband and wife, or by a
man and two of his own children under the age of eight years, or by two
men, members of the same family ; and if there shall be any violation of
