Voter of Iberville!

If you are not satisfied that the great immigra-
ton into the country of Foreigners, which the
Democratic party favors, is not the cause of in
c~reasing representation as the North land that too
of an Abolition ~nature) which is and will be ex-
erted against Southern interests-and eventually
degrading the South-read the following extracts
fiom a letter of Hon. H. W. Gu1CN, Of North
Carolina:
To show my sincerity in adopting the Amer
lean principles, l will take only what ! consider
a single branch of the Southern view of the
subject, emitting all others for want of leisure
Just now, believing that this view alone should
be sufficient with the entire South to produce
a unanimity of feeling and sentiment.
From the abstract of the census, page 100,
it appears that in the year 1896, the population
of the Northern States was 1,96S,4oo
And of the Southern States, 1861, 372
The North and the South being then
nearly equal. In the year 1850. the
Northern States had increased to l3,342,l94
And the Southern only to S,399,7lo

It appears then that in the short space of
sixty wears the Northern States have far outs
striped the Southern in the increase of the
populations; and this fact appears the more
striking when the same. census reports estab-
fishes that the mattress of the South have in
creased more largely than the mattress of the
North. Whence comes this increase then of the
North over the South! The question is a nswe
ed on page 1873 of said report, as follows:
"Total number Of immigrants 4,304,4l6." Here
then is proof positive as 10 the source of this
increase. ard now for its consequence, as to the
Southern States.
In the FRS, Congress, the North had IS
members, and the South had 30--there being
only difference of 5. In the representation
in Congress under the census of lS5O--see
Report. p. l6O-the North has l44. and the
Sonth only 80 members.
So it appears that since 1890, the South has
lost SO members in the House of Representa-
tives alone, saying nothing Of the Senate. This
loss then is clearly attributable to the immi-
grants and their descendants, living in 1850,
and enumerated in the census returns for that
crease the delegation of any State, it il not

be naturalized or entitled to vote. Bat that
on the contrary, all are enumerated, whether
men, women or children, and that accrding to
such enumeration alone, are the members ap-
%pOrtioned between the several States.
Now should the stream of emigration be
permitted to flow as prior to 1850 who is SO
dull as not to perceive, that before the present
generation shall have passed away, the South
will and must necessarily lose another so men,
bers in Congress, giving the North a majority
of at least 100 over Us IN the popular branch,
humbling the South into the pitiful attitude of
a supplians for Northern favors at Northern
mercy. There is no law. nor constant than
that of scause and effect" and if immigration,
the cause, be permitted to continue, the effect
Southern degradation--is sure to follow.
As the American party proposes to remove
the cause-to stop the torrent of immigration

Why he sympathized with the American Party

Why he sympathized with the American Party
Col. Kewen, prominent member Of the
American party in California, and whose father
was an Irish refugee, has been bitterly abused
by the " Phalanxes'' for acting with the Ameri-
can party when his father was foreigner. Col.
K in o late speech offered an irresistible reason
for his acting, which we submit to Irishmen in
this part of thu country. .=M .5.S.=
Col. Kswen's father was obliged to flee from
ireland, after having been for TWO years i'm
INJURED in prison on account Of his connection
with an effort to achieve the emancipation Of
that down-trddden country. He came to the
United States and was naturalized, and on this
account many had denounced Kewen for becom-
ing q member of that party Col, Kewen
answered these denunciations by painting the
thrilling history Of Ireland, by representing the
long continued struggle Of Ireland's patriot Q
and eloquent sons to free her from British
dominion and oppression, by exhibiting the fact
that the people had been invited by the hospi-
tally Of Ireland to the country which they are
now keeping in slavery, that they had accepted
their hospitality until by long continued and
insidious approaches they achieved sufficient
strength to atsurp the government and control
Of the very people whose hospitality they fed
upon.
And "what," says the Col, "are the
results" 1teland's eloquent sons are pleading
in vain OF the impervious ear Of the English
throne for restoration Of Irelands rights
That the voice Of Gurran, and Grattan,
and Shiel, and Emmett, and O'Connel, and
Mitchell, and O'Brien, and Dougherty, and
Meigher, had been constantly ringing in the
British Parliament, in her courts and castles,
iterating and reiterating the same unanswered
and unheeded prayer, that England should
govern EDglishmen and that Ireland should be
governed by Irishmeas.
The naturalized sons of Ireland, whom the
traitorous demagogues Of our country would
use to secure them some of the stealings of
office, If they oppose the proposition of Ameri-
cans that Americans should rule America, must
oppose the very principle, the loss of which
caused them to sacrifice their national existence
and entailed upon them the very yoke Of
bondage which has driven them from the hal
lowed sanctuaries of native homes, native ties
and national glory.

Who Carried the Elections in Texas,

From an article in the last Galveston Con
federate We make the following extract, show
ing that the native voters were defeated in that
State by the foreign voters. In State with
immense German settlements, not to speak Of
the Mexicans, it appears that the .american
people are in favor Of American principles
"Again, Governor Bells probable majority
will not oyerrun his foreign vote; in fact. if it
be only 1000, as is supposed, it will not reach
the foreign vote Of his District by at least one
half II may be safely asserted that there were
cast for Bell from three to four Thousand Mex;-
can votes alone--a class of citizens who are no
more entitled to the right of suffrage than our
free negroes, and who would long since have
been excluded from the ballot-box Of the Stats,
but for the deprayity of demagogues and party
hacks, to whose peculiar use and benefit the
honest portion Of our State has resigned them.
In estimating Pease's majority, it must be taken
into consideration that this vote, and the Ger
man and other foreign vote also, was cast for
him as q amt @TEl4%5 ~"&
"Then, when il is remembered that the high
State was 5000, against q Democratic vote of
$4,000, and thai the vote for Governor will
stand, nearly, for the American party, 10 900.
against the vote of the anti American PARTY.
25, 00U, some slight estimate may be formed Of
what Sam effected in the State Of Texas in the
short space Of twelve months Another fact ID
somewhat significant. We may nut the foreign
vote Of the State, with safety, at 10000. me
majority of the anti-Amerioan party in the
late contest, as Just stated will be less by six or
seven thousand than the actual foreign vote of
the State This is most encouraging condi-
tion Of things forsour party, if it needed any
other encouragement than thatwhich virtuous
principles and patriotic objects always hold out.
In view OF these facts, the American party need
do nothing but continue steadfast III the faith
and true to itself"

SAM IN TEE OLD pHrepl
MASS MEETING ON WASHINGTON SQUARE.
THE BALL ROLLS!

~
Right vigorously did SAM manifest himself in
that ancient stronghold of the old Democracy,
the Third District, on Saturday night. In ac-
cordance with previous arrangements, plat
form was erected for him on Washington Square,
ornamented with the striped bunting for which
he has such o weakness, and rendered visible
by an appropriate illumination. A slight dash
Of rain and drizzle in the afternoon had some
what dampened the prospect Of q large meeting,
but the ranking kindly held up in the evening,
permitting Dame Luna to smile upon the occa-
sion through veil of gossamer clouds, and, in
consequences, the park was soon dashed by n
living human sea. The adjuncts of music and
pyrotechny lent the usual stimulus to the rally,
aud proclaimed that rally to the invisible dis
lance
The crowd was very large = the largest we
ever saw on Washington Square-comprising all
the Americans of the Old Third, with delega-
tions from the other Districts, and respectable
sprinkling Of the clay pipes and blue shirts Of
that miscellaneous neigh borhood We observed
not few Irish and German laborers in the
crowd, who paid the most earnest attention to
the different speakers. We have no doubt that
they received, then and there, their first true
idea of the nature and aim of the American
movement, and that they had their asperities
considerably weakened - so different was the
new and generous idea from the worn-out falsi-
ties that have been ding -donged into their ears,
for months past, by the demagogues of the anti
American party.
AT the proper hour, Col CHAs. NJ. WATERMAN
called the meeting to order and organized it as
follows: T.
