our existence as as a nation we cheerfullylad-
NIT that, the migration from Europe was OF
a class calculated to add to our wealth and
character as free people. The immigration
of that period was of character to justify
naturalization. But since that period the I'M
migration from Europe has undergone an ell
tire, and, for this country, most disastrous
change In the last twenty years new sys-
tenn of immigration and colonization hassprung
up in Europe. Instead of sending us in mo-
derate numbers, portions of their industrious;
sober, enterprsing population, which, if they
did not do our country amy great good, would
not do us any great deal of harm, the parish
les in England and Ireland, and the different
governments OH the Continent have adopted
a new system, by which they empty their
prisons and poorhouses upon our shores, and
crowd our cities with the worst character of
malefactors and paupers. As native Ameri-
cans approaching, justly we hope, the bless
ings and privileges won from tyranny and OPP
preston by our ancestors, have we not right
to complain? Shall we still continue to dl-
vide our birthright with the paupers and male
factors Of Europe? To the great body of the
people belongs the decision of the question
To them we leave it, in the full confidence
that they will answer as becomes treemen and
patriots.-Ibid.

It will hardly be denied by even the warm
est friends Of immigration and NATURALIZATION,
that the condition Of our country having
chanoed SO materially since the passage OF the
nresent naturalization laws, the policy OF our
government on that subject ought to be re-
modelled TO suit the advanced progress OF our
country in population and wealth. Nor VIII
il be denied. we suppose, that, in the last ten
or fifteen wears, the general character OF the
Immigration to this country from Europe has
also changed materially. During the hrst
years of our Republication 1890 to 1870
embracing period Of thirty years, the great
BODY of the immigration to our country, was,
in every respect-in responsibility, intelligence
and weath--in all the traits of character ne
cessary to qualify men for freedom--greatly
snnerior to the masses, which, like 50 many
bales of merchandise, are daily discharged
nnon orr shores, fromthe prisons, poor houses
and the sinks of vice and corruption III 'he
old world. during the before mentioned perl
cd of thirty years, the wars growing out OF 'hc
French Revolution devastated Europe ana
MANY, very many of the best classes OF 'le
popuation of that country fled TO 'ne ollteo
States in search Of that peace ana security
denied them at home, and brought with them
epliohtened views, exalted character, INDUS
trious habits, and, in many instances large
amounts of wealth. The overthrow Oh me
French Republic, and the erection, on ITS 4,
ruins, of the splendid imperial despotlsm OF
Napoleon, drove to the country, for an asylum,
many enlightened liberals, whose hearts were
devoted to the principles Of freedom and sa'
cred patriotism and whose love Of liberty rem
dered them obnoxious to the governments OF
Europe For the first thirty or forty years OF
