very, 1t well becomes Southerners to invcsti-
gate the sources of the power by which she
p. is working out this result.
In addressing ourselves to this enquiry
we look IN vain for any natural cause for
this great Northern preponderence OF DOW
er-we look in vain for any reason in na-
ture why the population of the North should
Oe greater than Ours-so much so as to en-
able her to send forth colonies FROM her re-
dundant population TO people new States.
But by reference to our census reports
We find that about half million for
eIg1ers come annually to cur shores and
seek homes In the North as naturally as Ike
begets its Ike Deriving their information
IN the old world Of the new, principally
through Northern channels, they come here
with preJudlceS already deep seated in their
minds against the institutions of the South
/ principally on account of the great North
/ ern idea they have already imbibed that
/ slavery comes in competition with, and de-
! grades white labor. With these feelings
+ towards the institutions of the South. they
/ generally seek some Northern port, where
| they possess themselves Of outits. together
/ with plenty Of advice from land mon gers
and abOlltlonists, rs TO where they could
best settle and establish themselves. Hence,
| the great North West, in whose lands New
York was and Is largely interested, is so
( thickly settled by foreigners that they are in
a majority in many places. And particular
( ly is this the case of Wisconsin and North
/ eTn Illinois, those sink holes of infdelity
and abOlitionism, in the former of which
[ agFarianism fiouTishes, and in the latter. the
I prophet Stephen was stoned and refused the
. liberty of speech
With these facts shining US in the face,
we are forced irresistibly to the conclusion,
that this foreign emigration is the main
source of the power destined to be welded
10 the destruction Of Southern interest 1t
is unimportant to US whether these emf
grants vote the Wing, Freesoil or Democrat
ic ticket, IN the North. or in what part Of
that. region they settle But il is sufficient
for US 10 know that the North absorbs
large portion Of this foreign population
That It goes TO swell the measure of her
power, and lengthen the shadow OF her
State, fiBging it even now from the Allan
tic upon the tranquil bosom Of the great
sea of Balboa 1t is sufficient for US to
know that these foreigners 90 to swell the
influence of tie North as a section, which
already extends from Ocean to Ocean, with
millions of outlets. through which it is borne
South. We say this should be sufficient to
awaken the jealousy Of the South. and cause
her to make an effort 10 lay the axe at the
root Of this tree Of evil, for this half million
of foreigners, added TO the natural increase
of the North, viii assuredly enable her to
hedge Us in as with a wall of fire, and
smother cut slavery forever.
Demagoeues need not tell US that Amer
icanism has Abolition afiinities-that Know
Nothingism is popular at the North, this
ture there has been subsidized to the unho-
ly purpose of electing Abolitionists to high
places. it argues nothing against American
ism as developed in the Philadelphia Plat
form. These men Of the North have often
borrowed the livery Of Heaven to serve the
devil in-the pulpit-the Bibie-the holy
religion Of Jesus-have all been made sub
sidiary TO their base designs. The law Of
God-the higher law las they call it)-has
been invoked to justify them in violating an
oath to support the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, by representative of those who
are insincere in all things that does not tend
to the worship of their VOoley-headed God
-ABoLIionisns. If proof is wanting Of
this, none stronger could be furnished than
is to be found in the election Of Seward to
the Z. s. Senate. Bitter in his opposition
to Americanism, he denounced the Know
Nothings with virulence paralleled only
BY the terrible phiIlipics Of his Tennessee
neophyte yet some deserted their standard
openly renounced the Order, and gave
him their votes whilst, according to Gree
ley. Democrats stood ready and pledged to
cooperate in the same dirty work, should
their services be needed.
But let US back to the inquiry. Is this

The great anchor Of hope for a large por-
tion of The anti-Slayery men appears TO lie
in this foreign emigration. They argue up
on sound principles Of political economy,
that this large increase OF foreign lab0rers
will eventually bring about such competi-
ton in labor, that it viii become so cheap
as to dispense with slave labor on account
| Of its expensiveneuess that the strength of
slavery lies in its privilege Of expansion
that this emigration will hinder this by
reason Of its occupying the outlets Of sla-
very.

would cause the inferior 70 give way by as
certain a law as that the stronger force
would repeal the weaker. Who does not
