Such well digested, carefully prepared
statement, of the living emigrant population,
is important, as serving to correct many ex-
travagant notions concerning it, which have
attained extensive currency, and excited the
fears of many in the community.
1t must be especially gratifying, to those
well meaning, but weak minded persons, who
sincerely believe that the Pope is laying his
plans to establish the supremacy of the papal
church in this country, to know that his inn
mediate prospects of success are not very en-
couraging, and that for every forty three Cath
Ole Irishmen that have emigrated to this
country, since its independence was estab-
lished, there have come twenty five Protest
ant Germans, twelve Protestant Englishmen,
and three Protestant Scotchmen, to neutralize
their influence, and to counteract the de-
signs of popery, if any designs it may have,
upon the free institutions of the country.
Taking into consideration the fact, that the
native population of the county is seventeen
million and three -fourths of million-that
the foreign population is little over two mil
lions, and that less than oae-half of them are
classed, in the census tables as followers of
the Pope, we do think the people, of the IN
land towns, at least, may, for the present, feel
some little confidence that the Bible will not
be abolished from the public schools just yet;
that " his Holiness" Plus TX, will hardly
undertake to seat himself in the Presidential
chair until Frank Pieree's term of office has
expired, and that none of the good people of
this Commonwealth, or of any other of the
States of the Union, will be subjected to the
tortures of the Inquisition, or made to recant
from the faith of their fathers, by the old
fashioned anti-heretical appliances, such as
the rack, the wheel, and the faggot, until
some remote period in the future.

Constitution may prescribe.
Mr.. Valley, of Mass. moved all amend
ment, to the effect that the Territory shall not,

ment be adopted; in the spirit of kindness he
asked his friends who stood by him in the 3lst

The opponents of the Nebraska bill held
caucus on Saturday night, and determined to
fight it out to the last, using the usual SPAR
liamentary expedients' and when the bill is
reported to the House, calling the Ayes and
Nays, &c.
1t is generally believed that Mr. Odds, the
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole,
will make pretty short work of it, after time
has been given for amendment. Wien that
period arrives, he will probably recognize
motion that the Committee rise and report the
bill. When it is reported to the House, the
majority will override the Speaker, and de-
eide all calls for the Ayes and Nays out of Or
der. Everything nov promises some very
exciting scenes in the House. The friend, Of
the bill are even more sanguine than their op-
ponents.
The vote will not, it is supposed, be taken
before Wednesday, if so soon.
Orders have been given by the Secretary of
the Navy, to delay all vessels of war under
sailing orders, and holding them in readiness

hordes of Scythia, as they attempt to inundate
civilization and social progress with Czarism
and ignorance. Such course would reduce
Russia to second rate power. We wish we
could believe that the allies have the honesty
and policy to do what the arch despot Bona
parte refused to do in 1912, namely to restore
Poland. Perhaps they may be compelled, from
in the meantime as they would efEectually
punish Russia.

s,ntistica Of Emigration.

The census returns of 1850 indicate some
very interesting facts, in regard to the nativ-
ity of the population of the United States
By one of the tables, classifying the inhabi-
tants according to the countries of their birth,
we are enabled to learn, for the first time in
our history, of what our nation is composed.
The investigations under this head have re-
suited in showing that, of the free inhabitants
of the United States. II, 1877 500 are natives Of
its soil, and that 2,2l0.s2S only were born in
foreign countries, while the nativity of 3d.
OLA could not be determined. 1t is shown
that l,956,5lS of of the whole number of for
eign emigrants, reside in the free States, and
only 245.310 in the slave States. The pro-
portion which the foreign population bore to
the native, in 1850, according to these 6gnres,
was as one to eleven and half.
The countries whence have been derived
the largest portions of these additions to our
population appear in the following state

ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE IN CHARLEsTowN.
We learn that daring robbery and outrage
were perpetrated in Charlestown on Saturday
evening, the particulars of which are as fol-
lows About nine o'clock, as Mr.. Samuel o.
Pollard, currier, on Charlestown neck, was
about leaving his shop, he being in the second
story, having just extingushed the light, two
men came in, and one of them inquired if he
was the Boss, and on his replying in the
affirmative, asked if he wanted to hire a
"Jour'" He replied no, thereupon they i'm
medately knocked him down, put plaste.
over his mouth, and robbed him of his pocket
book containing 1882 in bills. They then
bent him forward in stooling posture, and
tied his hands to his ANGLES. They next took
spirits of turpentine, which they had brought
with them for the purpose, sprinkled it about
the shop. set fire to it, and went out the back
way, having previously fastened the front
door.
Some Of the neighbors saw the light of the
fire, went over and burst open the door, when
they found Mr.. Pollard, he having, in the
meantime, rolled himself down the stairs, and
they united him and removed the plaster from
his mouth The Fire Department assembled
and succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but not until the roof of tie building had
been destroyed. Mr.. Pollard did not know
either of the men, but thinks they were Irish
men, and as he had recently turned away
some lrishmen, u is not improbable that they
may have been two of those whom he had
discharged. The pocket book, minus the
money, was afterwards found deposited on
ledge in shed IN the back yard.
