RACE IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

There is a curious article in the Springfield Re-
publican on Race in American politics. The census
of 1860 is analysed, when a total free population of
27f millions was given. Of these there were 45
different foreign nationalities, making up 4,136,175
persons of foreign birth. The Irish then predomi-
nated, constituting 1,611,304, and they will, it is
said, vote the "straight ticket" generally, that is the
Democratic, though there is even among them a re-
spectable dissent, most marked where the influence of
thee hurch is weakened. An Irishman hates "a nigger"
always and everywhere, and this amiable charac-
teristic is being exhibited in full force at the present
time. The Germans then ranked next in numbers,
but in the census of 1870 it is calculated that they
will not merely equal but exceed the Irish. At
that time they were 1,301,136 ; and as a rule they
are as Republican as are New Englanders. In the
present campaign this element will be powerfully
manifested, and will strongly aid the Republican
ticket. The English exceeded half a million, and
the Canadians a quarter, but it is difficult to predict
how they will vote, except where the Canadians
are French, uhen they form Democratic material,
though the real Frenchmen, of whom there are
109,870, afford a large proportion of Republicans.
A Ecotchman (says our authority), of whom there
are as many as of English birth, is a Republican
when he is not a politician. When he i 4, we are
sorry to say his instincts are generally not quite
elevated enough for the " party of moral ideas."
Switzerland gives the United States more citizens
than Austria, and their political tendencies depend
largely ou the sections whence they come ; that
is, we presume, whether from Roman Catholic
or Protestant Cantons. The 10,000. Italians,
the 5,000 Spaniards, the 5,000 Portuguese,
the 328 Greeks, might safely be assigned to the
Democrats, together with the 3,263 South Ameri-
cans, the 233 Central Americans, and the 27,466
Mexicans. These will be more than balanced by
the Scandinavians, the Swedes giving the Repub-
licans 18,500, and the Norwegians 45,000. the
Welch, of whom there were 50,000, a number since
largely inCreasA, have been ascertained by actual
corivaps to support almost unanimously Grant and
Colfax. The Chines not being yet admitted to
the franchise, are of no importance in this estimate.
The other Asiatics, 1,231, the native Africans, 520,
and the Australians, 1,419, will not probably exert
a very wide influence in the coining elections, while
the 2,618 who were barn on the wave may fairly
be supposed to be " at sea."
