Why then 10 il that the Southern
members Of the order still adhere to
the organization and oct with North
ern mcmberss On the slavery ques-
ton they are - wide asunder - the
poles, and in deadly conflict. 1t is
simply on account Of the policy - to
Foreigners and Roman catholics.-
This II certainly very extraordinary.
The majority Of the order declare
uncoinpromising war against the mi.
nority upon . point involving their
very existence, and ore seeking to
rob them Of property 70 the value Of
at least 500, ,00O, 900: to reader their
territory Q barren waste, . ffuitless
desert; and not only %, but they ore
likewise constantly adding insult to
injury by eliminating and reviling
their people. It IL 70 Be supposed
that il the Southern Know Nothings
in spite Of al this, still adhere to the
connection, there must Be some great
and countervailing benefits TO result
70 their section - . sort Of compen.
sation for the risks they incur. But
here again, it will be found that the
policy is Northern, and il any good
can accrue from the war against these
two classes, that section must reap it
ell. The complaint 10 that Foreign
ers are overrunning the great cities
Of the North, and arc burden to the
inhabitants. And statistics are para
dcd by one speaker and another,
showing the number Of foreign pau
pers In these towns, and the load Of
taxes paid Tor their support Wav.
ing the obvious remark that this 10 q
local evil, and can only be remedied
by the local authorities, and that
National party has - much business
with it % they would have with the
regulations for the poor In the State
Of Mississippi, or with the quarantine
laws, I beg TO call the attention ef
Southern Know -Nothings 70 . very
plain statement Of facts, BY which Il
will be seen that they ere aiding their
enemies, without any reason to do 20,

about ! 70 10. The whole popula.
ton Of the North 10 1885, sol, and Of
these there ere I ,S2s, ,77e foreigner.
What have we ofthe South to do with
this question? Are We afraid Of the
1000 foreigners in Mississippi? 10 the
South, six millions strong in freemen,
alarmed at 200 900 foreigners.
But independent Of this view efthe
subject. there are other grounds, look.
ing beyond sections of geographical
divisions, upon which this policy must
be Condemned. Il IL unjust aud illib-
