Garrett Davis ON Native Americanisn.
(coSnSuED.
This view Of the subject Is powerfully corrobo-
rated by glance at the state Of things In Europe
The aggregate population OF that continent, in
1907, was 1S3,0000O0. Some years since it was
reported to be 900 600 600 and now ii is reasona-
bly, but little short of 2ss, 900 900 showing an in
crease within period Of about 40 years Of 100,-
| 100000. The area Of Europe is but little more
than that Of the United States and from It's higher
northern position and greater portion ofsterile
has less natural capabity ofsustaining population
All her WESTERN southern, and middle States labor
under one Of the heaviest Affections Of nations
| they have redundant population. The German
States have upwards Of 7O,0Oo,0O0, and Ireland
| S,000,0 0,000--all Germany being not larger than
three Of our largest States and Ireland about ii e
size OF Kentucky. Daniel O'Connell, in ls43, re-
ported 2, 1885, 900 Of the Irish people in state of
desttution. The annual increase OF population in
| Germany and Ireland is, in the aggregate, near
2,0o0,000, and IN all Europe il is 900 OOc
Large masses Of this people, in many countries not
only want the comforts of lifc but its subsistence
its necessaries, and are literally starving. Eng.
| land many of the German powers, Switzerland and
other governments have put into operation exter-
svc and wcllarranged systems Of cnigating ard
transporting to America their excess Of population
and particularly the refuse, the paupers, the de-
are stout and industrious and go to labor steadily
and thrifty.
/ They send to their friends in the old country true
and glowing accounts of ours, and with the means
which they have garnered here to bring hither
1 those friends. Thus immigration itself increases
its means and constantly adds to its swelling tides
Suppose some mighty convulsion OF nature should
loosen Europe, the smaller country, from her ocean
deep foundations, and drift her to our coast would
we be ready to take her tceming myriads to our
| fraternal embrace, and give them equally our pc
| litcal sovereignty? If we did, in few Aeetirg
| years where would be the noble Anglo-AmericaI
race where the priceless heritage Of liberty where
their free constitution where the best and bright
est hopes Of men? All would have perished 1t
Is true all Europe is not coming to the United
States, but much, too much Of it is and a danger
GUS disproportion Of the most ignorant and worst
of it, without bringing us any territory for them
enough, II they go on increasing and to increase
and are to share with us ourpower, to bring about
such deplorable result. The question is, shall
they come and take possession of our country and
our government, and rule US; or win we, who have
the right, rule them and ourselvesY l 90 openly,
nanfully, and perseverngy for the latter rule and

4 The governments of Europe know better than We
i
feel more intensely its great and manifold evils and
1 for years they have been devisng and applying
correctives, which have all been mainly resolved
into onc--to drain Off into America their surplus,
and especially their destitute, demonlized, and vi
cious population. by doing so they not only make
more room aud comfort for the residue, but they
/ think--and with some truth--that they provide
for their own security and do something to avert
explosions which might huil kings from their
thrones. After the allied soveregns had conquer
ed the mighty Corsican on the field of Waterloo,
and had him safe on the rock of st. Helena, these
crowned tyrants Of Europe, impiously denominated
! the holy alliance" had breathing time and
they began TO cast around themselves TO devise
means to attack, indirectly, slowly and steathiy,
our institutions and our principles popular gov
ernmentr which they not unreasonably concluded
had been the primary cause Of the tremendous as
saults which men, In their struggles to free them
selves from the slavery Of centuries, had mnde
against their despotic throne. Hear what the Duke
Of Richmond said on this subject:
The following language Of the Duke of Rich
mond, while governor of the Canadas, Is re-
ported by Mr.. II. G. Gates, Of Montreal, who was
present when il was uttered:
"The Duke short time before his death, In speak
ing Of the government of the United States, said;
/ 1T weak, inconsistent, and bad, and could not
long exist 1T viii be destroyed; IL ought not,
and viii not be permitted 10 exist; for many and
great are the evils that have originated from the
existence Of that government. The curse OF the
French revolution, and subsequent wars and COM
motions in Europe, TO be attributed TO its exam
Pile and so long as II exists, prince viii be safe
upon his throne; and the soyercigns Of Europe arr
aware Of il, and they have been determined upon
its destruction, and como to an understanding up
on this subject, and have decided on the means TO
accomplish ii and they will eventually succeed by
subversion rather than conquest AN the low
Europe win be carried into that country; il is and
win be receptacle for the bad and dsaGected pop
ulation Of Europe, when they are not wanted FOR
soldiers or TO supply the navies, and the European
govcrnments will favor such a course. This vii
create surplus and a majority Of low population,
who arc so very easily excited; and they win bring
with them their principles, and, in nine cases out
Of ten, adhere 10 their ancient and former govern
nents, laws, manners, customs, and religion, and
win transmt them 10 their posterity, and In many
cases propagate them among the natives.
These men viii become citizens, and by the
| Constitution and laws win be invested with the
right Of suffrage. The dinercut grades Of society
win then be created by the elevation Of few, and
by ydegrading many and thus heterogeneous popu-
lation win then be formed, speaking different angua
gcs and OF different religions and sentiments and 70
make them act, think, and feel alike, in politicu
affairs, viii be like mixing oil and water; hence
discord, dissension, anarchy and civil war viii en-
sue, and some popular individual will assume the
government and restore order, and the soyereigns
Of Europe, the immigrants, and many Of the ne
tvcs viii sustain him. "Thc Church Of Rome
has design upon that country, and il viii, in time,

struction Of that republic 81 have conycrsed

Schlegel was a learned historian, and professor
Of history in Vienna, and high IN favor with The
Emperor Of Austria. At the close Of one Of his
public lectures In that capital against free govern
ments, be declared: "The true nursery OF all these
destructive principles the revolutionary school for
France, and the rest Of Europe, has been North
America. Thence the evil has spread over many
lands, either by natural contagon or by arbitrary
communication About the same time. Francis.
