FOREIGN PoPULATI0N.-S. Day, the Secre-
tary of the American and Foreign Christian
Union, discusses the following grave questions:
To what extent is immigration into the Uni
ted States to be carried and what is to be its
influence upon the nation.
He replies:
/. immigration is q source Of wealth.
In 1SlS-even so far back as that-the pro-
ductiye labor of the immigrants arriving that
year was set down, by the best authority, at
Twenty-Five thousand dollars day, and this ex-
elusive of articles consumed by them. Lord
Durham, in 1889, by closest and safest calcula-
ton, stated "that immigrants arriving in the
United States have produced revenue to the
Union which has amounted in one twelve-month
to over hcenty miliionsn' Then the immigration
was 125, 700; now it is 100000 Thus, at this
time, according to this calculation, we have
added 10 our wealth from this source Jorty-eight
millions per annum. But Mr.. Day, in order to
make certain calculation, reduces this esti-
mate e-half-unquestionably largely below
the truth-and even upon this, we have the fol-
lowing rapid increase to the capital of the
country from the labor of immigrants. From the
year 1918 to 1888, $50, 81 500 per annum, or
$78 $50, 600 for the whole period. From 1888
to 184S, SO, SOC, 900 per annum, or $3.50, 600, 900
for this period. From 1848 to 1858, lin the
same ratio,) S21 1868, 900 per annum or S213,-
600, 900 for this last ten years in all, $780,
$50, 900 added to the labor capital Of the nation
closing period of forty years, !. G., from 1918
to 1858.
.. But the greater questions are behind how
is wealth to be directed! In what channel will
it run? To what great end will it be devoted?
1t tells for our prosperity. From the neces-
sity Of the case, it strengthens American inter
ests. The immigrant must work to support
himself and family but, if able to do without
this, if able to select his own employment will
this continue? We can only answer this ques-
ton, as regards our foreign brethren, as we
would our american countrymen, that this will
depend wholly upon their intelligence and viz
tue For, test it. Suppose like number of
americans in any nation Of Europe, and as stea-
Oily increasing year by year, could they be pow
erless? Would they stand still There would
not be q nook of society nor a part Of govern
ment which would not feel them. We see
every man must see-that this element is an
and use it well, if we would make 1t perpctually
serviceable to us, and to humanity.
The first thing for foreigners to do is to be-
come 4mericanized. But how (? wc ask BY our
meeting them as brothers, assimilating our
selves to them, and thus assimilating them to
US infusing into their hearts, by living trust
and kindness, the very genius and spirit of our
institutions Then all will be safe Then the
foreign element, now under American influence,
will be American every way, and one with it.
Then will perish all habits Of submission, and
oil thoughts of prerogative, in church or State,
or springing from q union of the two influences
which mar the freedom and the hopes Of the
Old World.

WARRINGTON,
MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY s.

THp ENra RgEmEHT OF THE CAPIToL.-The
main noint in relation to this difficult question
was decided ON Saturday last, namely, that the
shape of the halls of legislation shall be rectan-
gular, instead of curvilinear, as the best for
producing favorable acoustic results.
Whether these halls are to be formed in
"wings," in duplicate Capitol, in an "east-
ern extension" or ''cruoiform projection"
we are unable to say, as we stated on Saturday
last-the President not having made known his
decision on this point.
His excellency visited the Capitol grounds
on Friday morning, examined the site of the
intended building, and conversed with several
OF our citizens, and seemed to take deep in
terest in the matter, but expressed no opinion
in regard to the mode of enlargement he would
adopt; and we are inclined to believe that he
has not yet expressed his determination on this
head to any one, nor will he until he is entirely
prepared to do So
1t matters not by which of these modes the
enlargement shall be effected, the architectural
symmetry Of the present beautiful edifce must
be impaired For ourselves, we should prefer
to see an entirely new building erected, and the
old Capitol left alone in all its beauty and gran
deur, as designed by Thornton and adopted by
General Washington.
MONUMENT SQUARE.-It has been enclosed by
paling fence, and Fourteenth street paved
from the Canal to E street. The work within
the square is being carried ON energetically.
For the monument stone was prepared during
the winter and spring which will last the
builders nearly the whole summer Since the
commencement of the present building season.
nearly three courses of stone have been laid on
the shaft, carrying it nearly seven feet higher
and eighty-six feet from the ground. A num-
Der of new offerings have been received for the
inner walls. The State stone from New York
is magnificent piece of work The stone
itself, the design, and the execution of the work
are alike emblematical of the Empire State 1t
Is OF jet black marble, and has on it the coat of
arms of New York, with an appropriate inscrip-
ton. Among those lately received are one
from the Grand Division of the Sons of Tenn
perance of North Carolina; the Grand Division
Of the Sons of Temperance of Connecticut; the |
lnvincibe Fire Company Of Cincinnati, Ohio
the Grand Lodge of the l. o. 0. F. of Massa- 1
chusetts; and the Wing Society of Princeton,
New Jersey. The monument is visited by great
numbers Of strangers, who are pleased with
what they see, and many of them leave their
names on the office register, and opposite it the
amount of their donations.
