IHE HERMAN ELEMENT IN OUR FOREIGN PopULA.
TIoN. New York, it is said, contains over one hun
dred thousand immigrants, and Philadelphia has
probably. by this time, at least fifty thousand
Cincinnati also numbers an extensive German pop
ulation, and the same may be said of nearly all the
large cities in the more northern sections of the
United States This large influx of the sturdy
1euton, an influx which is steadily increasing in
numbers, while it is certainly improving in quality,
cannot do otherwise than exert mighty influence

board, for society here as well as in the younger
States OF the west is far from having assumed the

we DO not now propose to meet the question of
Native Amerlcansm nor to discuss the character
OF our naturalization laws, but we suppose there is
no one who seriously contemplates the possibility
OF ercludang the immigrants from Europe, who are
annually drawn to our shores As we understand
the matter the utmost that is proposed is to

ing the period of naturalization, and to refuse to
receive those who are criminals or paupers; not to
deny the honest and industrious millions Of the
old world refuge in the new world from the man.

There Is much IN history to show that nations of
a composite character Eve mean those in which
the different elements composing them have been
completely blended together,) have been improved
through the process OF mingling; witness, for in
stance the English, the most sturdy and robust
race in existence and the record of whose hetero-
geneous origin is stamped indebly upon their Ian
guage. On this point Psychologists generally agree.
And we are glad to believe that those senseless
national antipathies which have so often, in the
history OF the world been the source of great evil
and suffering, and which constitute the principal
objections in the way of this harmonious union of
races is rapidly passing away, before the light of
civilization.
Every one who is at all acquainted with ancient
and modern history, is well aware that for purity
and excellence of character the Teuton or German
has seldom had his equal But to go no further

From the Nashville Banner.
Andrew j. DoneIson, ESQ.

The subjoined letters from Major Doneson speak
for themselves. The political antecedents of the
writer; his personal and official relations with Gen.
jackson; the responsible diplomatic stations to
which he was called by President Polk the large
degree OF confidence reposed in him by President
jackson and President Polk; the determined oppo-
slton which he ever avowed to the doctrines and
schemes OF secessonists and disunionists of what
ever stripe; and his steadfast maintenance of the
principles OF the Compromise Measures of 1850, at
time when his private interests might have been
subserved by trucking to the requirements of the
leaders OF the Southern Democratic opponents of
those measures These considerations all lend in
terest to the political relations which Major Donel-
son, In entire confidence with what he understands
to be the good old-fashoned Democracy of Jeffer-
son, Madison and Jackson, deems it his duty to
hold towards the present Democratic candidate for
Governor OF Tennessee and the present Democratic
occupant of the White House at Washington
EDITOR REPUBLICAN BANNER. Sir: As several
OF my acquantances in various portions of the
country have written me, expressing a wish to
know my views respecting the recent nomination
OF Governor johnson by the new school of Demo-
Gratis assembled at Nashville do not see that [
can answer them more briefly than by asking the
publication in your columns of the following note
to MIR. Eastman of the Union and Anerican This
gentleman was known as fre-eater during the
discussions OF the compromise of 1850, and became
at once the favorite of the school of Demo-
Gratis after which it was ascertained that he had
been selected by Mr.. Cheves the famous disunion
orator of South Carolina, to print and circulate
copies of his speech in the Nashville Southern Con-
vention. In that speech Mr.. Sleeves boldly advo-
Gated the formation OF a Southern Confederacy,
and rdiculed the Constitution of the United States
as a dead carcass MIR. Cheves is still a great man
in the estimation of the fre-eating flibusterng
class of politicians who are scattered in ambush
throughout the country, waiting to what advan-
tage can be secured to the project of seizing Cuba
and establishing Southern Confederacy from the
treachery of and imbeciliy of Mr.. Pierce and his
Cabinet Yours, respectfully,
