rOREIGN INsOLENCE.

Unable to deny the fact, that the Germans
end Irish deliberately assassinated American
citizens in the streets Of Louisville, the Foreign
Organs now undertake to justify their murder
ors proceedings. The French paper in New
York rests this justification upon the simple
ground OF the existance of the american party
The fact that Americancitizens thought the In
Eterists Of their country would be subserved by
combining its government 10 native hands, iusti-
fies their being shot down from windows and
hiding places By Foreign Brigapds. We give
its own words:
"The truth Il the excesses you enurnerate

THE FOREIGN POPULATION,
AND THEIR RELATIvEvO-
Ting STRENGTH TO
THE NATIVE

The usual habit Of the Anti American par
y Of denying.the real strengtIiof the voting for
eign population induces us to place before our
readers the number Of foreigners In the United
States and also comparison Of their strength
with the voting native population.
The indiscriminate and general denial of
this fact has deluded many good citizens who
did they understand the facts would be keeny
alive to the real importance Of The success of
the American party and as necessary conse-
quence ofsuch conclusion the absolute neces-
sty Of changein our naturalization laws. The
fact that this foreign strength is denied by the
Anti-American party in the very teeth of facts
must proceed alone from desire to deceive those
who have not the means Of information open to
them thereby enabling the opponents Of genu-
inc Americanism to procure voting strength
which they vainly hope may continue them in pos
session of the fat Offices OF the county-a course
alike discreditable to the heads of their readers
and the principles of the teachers.
The population of the United Statesis estimat-
ed at $4,000 900, of which numberaI6 ,OOO, 900
are Native Whites, 100000 are Negroes and
5000, 900 are foreigners.
The proportion of population who are vo-
tiers issgeueraly estimated at one seventh. As
Stunning that as correct basis the native votes
in any general election will be 2,285,7l4, and
the foreign vote win be H4,2S5, making a lit
tie less than one third of the entire vote in the
United States. Is not this relative strength Of
the Foreign and Native voters in this country q
good cause for apprehension that If in lC
years they have increased with such fearful ra
| pidity that will be but few more years wher
we shall be q minority of voters in our own lane
and country and that our institutions won By
the valor Of our patriotic ancestors will be il
the hands Of those who fought to prevent It's a
chieyement. Surely such condition % things
imperatively demands the Jealous cooperation
of all true and patriotic Americans who desir,
to see this land of freedom remain in the hands o
those who rescued it from the opposers of re
ligious freedom and republican liberty
But to prevent misconception and msrepresen
tation it becomes US to state the grounds upol
which we sdetermine the number of foreign
ers at 5 ,000, 900 fact so often dedied as to in
duce many not informed on the subject to be
lieve the number is overstated.
BY the census returns of 1850 it appears tina
