some Immigrants, and, possibly, some classes of
immigrants, have rendered themselves obnox-
Ious to public sentiment justly jealous of the
introduction Of ecclesiastical influence into our
politics, may be true. But the general masses
OF the immigration are liable to no sneh impu-
tation. They are represented in every depart
ment ct your industry. They are engaged in
your commerce, in your manufactures, and In
your agriculture. Some Of them represent the
national sovereignty abroad others of them
worthily and honorably represent the sover-
eighty Of States upon this floor. The imrni-
grants, whose cause plead, are as intelligent,
as worthy, as useful, and as respectable, as any
other portion of our population. Far from
greeting them upon their arrival on our shores
with tho hazsh and odious discrimination of
this bill, would bid them all welcome, and re-
ceive them as brothers. By the manifestation
of generous confidence, by a fair, manly, hon.
orsble treatment Of them, would endeayor to
convince them Of the expediency and necessity
Of divesting themselves as speedily as possible,
of their foreign character, and Of putting on,
with the rights and privileges, the sentiments
also, of American citizens. Thus, SIR, would
Americanizs them by generosity and Justice.
Once Americanized In mind and heart the
most jealous mind need entertain no apprehen-
sions Of evil from their coming among va and
sharing in all our privileges.

PAPER FOR THE pEnpIE


TIME Undersigned proposes to publish at the ecat Of

moeratc weekly newspaper under the above title
and, in announcing this purpose VIC deem It proper
to refer briefly to few Of the general which
shall govern our course.
TIE Scripture teaches that "God created man in his
own image and that all men consequently breth-
ren. The Declaration of Independence recognises
equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inaienable rights among which are Life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
We believe in the Constitution of the United States,
which declares it's purpose to be ito form more per-
feet union establish justice insure domestic tranquil
ty, promote the general welfare and the bles
sings of liberty" and hold that all its provisions
should be construed in accordance with this general
purpose
This was the position and purpose of the sares Of
the Revolution and we their descendants should la
Dor to secure the blessings Of individual liberty and
national liberty.
We believe In Democracy--a government By the
People and for the Peope--n the Democracy OF free

interests of Class however powerful or imposing its
Numbers or position. A Democracy which does this
which despises the People, undertakes their intel

POLITICS IN OHIO.

An intelligent and reliable correspondent, st
Cincinnati, writes to the editor of the National
Era, on the 1st instant, as follows:
"Our friends in this State are making active
preparation for the Congressional contest
Hon. Edward Wade is supported Tor re-elec-
ton, in the Cleveland district by both Wing
and Free Soil papers. He viii, perhaps, get
three-fourths of all the votes that viii be cast
Hon j. R. Giddings will doubtless be support
ed for reelection in his district. The country
cannot yet spare him from their national ooun-
ellis In the Mount Vernon district, Hon. viii
liam Sspp (Whig) wiz probably be the Repub-
hcan candidate for reelection. That is q
strong Democratic district, and he obtained his
election before by the Democrats running two
candidates. Il is now expected that there will
be a sufficient secession from the Old Line De-
mocracy, on the Nebraska question, TO over
come their usual rnsjority, and re-elect him.
MIR. Shannon, one Of the four from Ohio who
voted for the bill, declines being candidate
for reelection. He is afraid to come before the
people, and have them pass Judgment On his
treacherous conduct Hon. VIM. F. Hunter,
formerly a member Of Congress- and en- able
and consistent Wilmot Proviso man, viii prob
ably be the Republican candidate.
1.-THE prospect now is, that DR.. Oi0s viii be
candidate for reelection in the Columbus
district and if 80, he viii have the privilege
of staying at home, the next Congress. Hon.
Samuel Galloway viii be his. opponent. He
came within thirty or forty votes Of beating
him the last time, and this time he viii IN
doubtedly be elected, by 500 OF, 900 majority.
Hon. Lewis D. Campbell will be candidate
again in his district, and viii undoubtedly be
triumphantly elected.
"An intelligent politician Of the city of
Piqua informs me that DR.. Dorsey Will be the
Nebraska candidate for Congress in that dis
trict, composed of the counties of Miami,
Darke, Shelby, Mercer, Auglsise, Sc; and that
the Anti-Nebraska Democrats, Wings, and
FreeSoilers, win support FOR reelection Mr..
Nichols, the present Democratic Representative,
who opposed the Nebraska bill, and that they
will give him large majority. He says, Mi
ami county viii give 1000 majority for the
Republican ticket; and that intelligent politi-
clans of Darke county ssy thas that county will
give 1000 or 1000 majority. The masses Of
the Democratic party there repudiate the Ne
braska swindle, and only few of the leaders
adhere to it.

The royal mail steamer Niagara arrived at
Halifax at ten o'clock last night, bringing
dates from Liverpool to the 23d inst, one day
later than her regular day Of sailing.
Austria's conduct continued more doubtful,
and is regarded with great suspicion by Eng

The correspondent of the London Morning
Chronicle makes the following important COM
municatlon:
aThe coIonists of Vienna and Berlin have
communicated to the English and French Gov
ernments the impression produced upon them
by the answer of the Emperor Nicholas to the
summons sent by Austria TO eYscuate the Prin-
cipalities.
The German Powers now announce that,

appear calculated to serve as basis for fur

Prague shall be fixed upon as the seat for fur
Their conferences.
They moreover express the opinion that it
viii not be possible to call upon Russia to evae-
uase the Prineipalities, unless i be at the same
time clearly understood that the allied Powers
shall stop their movements in advance; in
other words Austria has fallen back into an
alliance with Russian
Accounts from S. Petersburgh state that The
Gear is determined not to yield, and that dis
content prevailed at the capital.
Russia and Austria have asked Franco and
England to state the conditions on which they
are willing to conclude peace.

Harrington asked the Ministers whether they
had authorized Lord Westrnorelapd to state to
the Cabinet Of Vienna that the Polish subjects
Of Russia would not be allowed to enter the
