IOREIGN IMMIGxATION.


the single port Of Live, pool 10 this country in
the year 1853, was 2l9,672. Nine hundred
aad seventeen shiJs with tonnage OF 844 658,
we're employed in their transportation. Ac-
counts reach u, that during tho disturbed
state Of Europe, the amount of the emigration
this year will bo largely increased. It is well
known that the great majority Of the immi-
grants shpn the slaveholding States, from an
instructive dislike Of slave labor, 80 that their
labor and the capital they bring 60 to augment
the power and resources Of the free States, and
to promote the extension of freedom in our
Ter citoiies.
1t was the knowledge of this fact that
induced the Senator'S rom the slaveholding
States to insert the Clayton amendment IN
The Nebraska Bill, so as TO disf'anchise foreign
settlers. Had an oppoliucity been allowed in
tie House of Representatives, ~s should have
seen this emendnent sustained by nearly the
whole delegation f,om the South. In the Sen.
ate, as we are aware, the shareholders surrcn-
dered the amendment, but not TIL il was posi-
tiyely certain that the Bill could not be carried
with it,
Foreign immigrants ought to understand the
unfavorable opinions entertained Of them
by tho Slaveholding 0ligarchy The Rich
mond (Va) Eraminer has been abusing them
Of late without stint. Its language ia this case,
as in all others when dealing in censare, is
reckless and exiravagant; still the editor has
sense enough not to outrun very far the preju-
dices of the conmrrity for which he writes
His readers may not swear 30 fcrcely as he
does, but they cherish simila- sentiments.
We copy few samples of lis opinion of
foreign immigrants, from one of his recent edi-
torials:

European writer's describe large class of
population throughout Eogland and the cont.
ncnt, as being distinguished by restless, wan
dering, nomadic habits, and by peculiar con-
formation of the skull and face. Animal and
sensual nature largely predominates, ioiih them,
over The moral and intellectual. Ii is they who
commit crimes fH prisons, and adorn The gal.

In another editorial this Slavery fanatic de-
velors tho idea thus incidentally broachcd.
Speaking Of the enfranchisement Of the peas
antry Of Europe, he says
"The little experiment Of free society that
has been tried for q little while in litsle cor
ner OF Europe, and which, under the galvanic
battery Of Tree competition, exhibited, for
time, some little vitality, has osentuatcd long
since in a disastrous failure. and yet arrogant,
impertinent characters at the North, who are
the loudest in prcclaimipg the e lure, and pre-
posing q remedy, insist that we, toho haze
happy, q,nef, contented society, should set our
negroes free. When Owen and his compsers
can cite an instance IN history, Of any consider

centuries acithota domestic Slavery or some
similar institution, it will be time enough TO
call on us to initiate their institutions 10 10 a

of Europe that has tried this Foolish experiment
