fest much alarm lesi they shall seize upon the rens
of government and dictate to citizens their re-
glous faith, it may not be amss, very briefly, TO in
stute an inquiry into the grounds of this apprehen
slon Is there any danger to institutions, civil
and religious from the foreigners now in this cnun
try, and such Others as may come to our shores
BY the census of 1850 the population of the Uni
ted States was over twenty three millions, of which
eighteen millions were native whites, over Two mil
hons were foreign born, 'hirtynne thousand were of
unknown natives, and three millions two hundred
thousand slaves. From 1916 to 1850, 1862
$50 foreigners 10 shores. From 1920 to
1880, the average number was only 20, 900 a year.-
From 1880 10 1916. about 10000 year. The Irish
famine and the continental revolutions increased the
emigration to 100000 in 1847, and 10 100000 in
1850. The total number of emgrants to the United
States since 1870, and living in 1850, together with
descendants amounted (when the census was taken
to 4,304,4l6
Now, if all these foreigners were ignorant and de-
praved if they loved the institutions under which
they were reared, and desired to establish them in
place of Ours--if, with the character and views we
have supposed, they all hudded together al
one place, apart from the influence of more inteIi-
gent minds, and admitted to the dignity of citizen
ship, there would be some ground for apprehension,
notwithstanding the small proportion thew bear to
the native American citizen.
But, first they are not all ignorant and depraved.
Secondly, they do not desire to plant the institutions
OF their native countries our soil. They fled from
those institutions because they abhorred them
Thirdly, they are not placed in immense c0mmuni-
ties by themselves. They are diffused all over our
vast country, and almost lost in rapidly growing
population. True, at some points, they may be nu-
merous enough to hold the balance of power in
elections, but if they numbered only few hundreds
or thousands, they mi ht still hold that power. No
matter how they may increase their proportion to
the native American population must still be small.
Latter-day patriots and new light statesmen, who
cloak themselves in mystery and assume name new
er before known TO political organizations, have
arisen, who are endeaVoring to alarm the fears of
eighteen or twenty millions of natives of this coun-
try by declaring that they will be overrun over-rid-
den conquered, and subjugated by the three four
millions OF foreigners in the country They repre-
sent these foreigners fierce enemies of the country,
who want to destroy the political fabric reared by
fathers, and to uprOot all the systems uf religious
faith that differ from their own. They forget or pre-
sumo that our people ignorant of the fact, that
these foreigners came amongst us because they adj
mlre our lnstituions-that many of them helped to
achieve our independence. and that in all
they have proved themselves brave soldiers and true
American patriots. They also forget that these for
eIgnels more than own people, of one kim
dred and one religion. Some are Catholics, some
Episcopalians, some Presbyterians, some Baptists
some Methodists, and some Jews
Those who are making war on the foreigners are
doing very foolish and very wicked thing. Many,
we doubt not, are sincere in all that they say and

exception of few fanatics and ILL Judging persons.
