alone 6S4. .499, averaging 1858 per an-
mum. During the II 81 seven OF these years
the average Was 33 800 and dufiug the last
eight years 81, 1877. La these 3 years the
total imi grafton into the United State is es
minated at 100000 averaging 66, ,666 per

the average OF the thirty six years ending in

NATIVE AMERICANISM.

that it is really the best goceynment that mas

we concede this much to our present system
we are compelled 10 acknowledge that 1t is
both very intricate and complex -reconci.

Teignties within sovereignty, and COM
mingling Federal and State powers which

wisely concluded that the first Twenty One

animation of this system, and during thai

Inc most criminal indulgence 10 everv for

has so often distinguished him in many dark
and trying hours during his long and event
ful public life
A number Of friends, who waited on SIR
Clay few days since to make known TO
him the result of the election, were aston~
shed that he received the news with a
cheerfulness almost amounting to pleasure
My friends" said he, at would be ridicu
lous for me to say do not feel disappointed
but feel so chiefly for you and for our
country. as regards myself. am relieved
from load of anxiety. | have ever been
ready and willing to serve my country, even

patriotism of the nation. Now, | hope to

Envy, hatred, and malice, have spent
their utmost fury upon the head oflhis great
