OF odium to any party or set Of men who should be
convicted OF KNOWN othingism. But they do this
like martyrs, with sort OF sefsacriGcing Tone ~
If they had concluded to do their duty and abide
the consequences, Or, as man will do sometimes,
had taken course opposite to public opinion aud
common sense, to show how original and fearless
they were.
Since The recent sweeping victories Of the Kno
Nothings in Philadelphia and Washington, the
abuse which they have received from certain class
Of newspapers has been rather more temperate.
There is an ntuitive respect in the human mind for
power, under all circumstances and persons who
deal in politics soon become sagacious enough to
recognize the cat the moment she is out of the bag
Upon the Of these two elections, when the party
journals first took the alarm, it was terrible to note
the onslaught they made upon the mysterious and
dreaded organization which fraternizes with no
party and threatens destruction to all. II was
denounced as secret and dangerous banding to
gether Of discontinued and maievolent spirits for
purposes which could be little less than reasonable;
press the enlightened and liberal policy which
this great people should adopt IN the mat
tiers Of privilege and license, as well as of
protection towards the downtrodden and
the tyranny Of their own countries; and finally, an
earnest exhortaton was addressed to the people to
frown down party which refused to show its hand,
and was working its way into power and place by
and entirely to all the establiahed principles of
wire working. This appeal seemed to us at the
time much like recommending o man to make
mouths at himself in mirror, or cut his own &C.
quaintance for having been ndiscreet as to offend
others by claiming what belonged to him, or like
asking people to administer sort of solus self re-
buke for presuming to investigate and decide upon
its own affairs. II appears, however, that this APP
peal had little effect; that the public failed to look
upon Itself as band Of discontinued and trator0us
spirits although plainly requested to do So and thar
these independent and plain spoken journals fell
into the common error of installing the voices Of in
significant parties and factions for the voice of the
great people.

among native citizen. he foregoing table of tho
arrival of smigrants in the United States, during
period Of thirty years, which is nearly the term al
letted to generation of mankind by philosophy, is
remarkable, as corresponding SO nearly with the
number Of foreigners in the United States in 1885,
as determined by the census.
With the emigration 10 the United States since
1890, the white population has doubled in about
twenty-five years. II may be said W tn regard to
the increase of population previous to that period
that the revolutionary war checked immigration
and the ratio Of increase. The emigration to Penn
sylyana and the Southern colonies was much great
er during the whole OF the eighteenth century than
IL was to New England and New York; and hence the
population of the former increased the most rapidly
1t will be noticed that the emigration of Euro
peans TO this country did not sensibly affect the to-
tai amount Of population until very recent period
say within the last twenty-five years. the number of
emigrants arriving in the United States in $780,
being less than forty thousand, and in 1885 only
rs ,444 More than twothirds of the foreign emf
grafton to the United States since the peace with
Great Britain in 1885, has taken place since the year
1910.
With regard to the effect Of emigration upon the
politics Of The country it is doubtless true, is

democratic party, large proportion of the natura
hzed citizens having uniformly voted with that
party. There has, however always been counter
acting element to the Irish Catholic and other
influences of the same kind in the German, Scotch
and English Protestant influence Of emgrants from
the British and German dominions within the last
twenty years. The hostility of these Protestant
'emigiants from Europe against the Catholics and
A. u
Is felt by American Protestants questions rela-
ting to religion and religious liberty. It is not
therefore surprising that many of the European
Protestants favor the movements of the Know
Nothings, and rejoice in their success.
The proportion Of Roman Catholics to Professionals
in the United States is but small in comparison,
according to the of 1885, of their respective
