Of the United States one hundred wears

Celestial Empire, filing the place of sla-

the plow and coach, hewing the shaft and
laying the architrave, with Africa redeem

all changed, and the Etbiops skin-Ja-

| That this influx of half million of for
eigners per annum will revolutionize So
ciety in the South is evident Let us
contemplate, for moment, that this emf
grafton is sufficient to settle State erery
gear with the population of Mississippi
that this is nearly all added to the
North, which is a1ati-Slauery--that this
forms an addition to her natural increase
that the population of the North, in
many places, is already so dense that it
! finds egress South, thus increasing the
proportion of whites to the blacks--and
we can form some idea of this engorge
ment of America with elements inimical
to the institutions of the South.
The calm and settled moderation of the
mind is scarcely competent to convince
the madness and folly of the South in
lending encouragement to this emigration,
and it seems only comparable to the fol-
ly of the general who having in his power
to hinder recruits from passing to his
enemy, should voluntarily and without a
consideration, permit them to pass to his
camp and thus put it in his enemy's power
to outfank nd crush him with the fruits
of his own folly and madness We look
| in vain to discover an obligation we owe
the North. to encourage this admission of
foreigners no equivalent can be found
coming from her in the practical workings
in this Government, for the whole Onus
of its support devolves upon the South:

being in a more tangible sha pc than north
ern the burden wooid again fall upon the
south Then why should the South en-
courage this adventurous increase of the
power Of the North, when it is evident
| from examples already set that it will be
used in crushing her dearest interest,
des roying her fields, and turning her iu-
to a mere province lying at the feet of
the arrogant and presumtuous North.
1t is iddle to talk about tue conversation
of these foreigners the desolate fields Of
Jamaica and Martinique attest too strong
ly that political a60llti0naSHs ITSELF is a
foreign exotic which fanaticism is en-
deavoring to transplant to our political
Eden: and the proceedings of those anti
slavery conventions Of foreigners IN the
Southern cities of Richmond, Louisville
and St Louis prove too clearly that they
abate not one jot or title of their pref
udices against slavery by living in
proximity to it, cxcelling even native
Abolitionists (who conf 4e their agita-
tions principally to free States) in the
fervent opposition to slavery. Aud just
here the pertinent inquiry arises, is there
any reason why we may not take the
anti slavery platforms of these Southern
foreigners as an index of the opinions Of
the great mass of foreigners in America
Is it not reasonable, indeed, that anti
slavery men in the south, who hear and
see both sides of the question, should
have even more conservative views than
those of tho North Then, if these
platforms are an index of their sentiments
sread God hoU Startling the fact tha'
half a million Of these come aalngally Il
our shores, to saoeN tie p0tcer Of tie North
and occupy It'd outlets Of sla0ery whilst
the South, in the fullness hf her folly and
blinded by party prejudices, is lending
announcement to the advances of this ar
my of aliens, which is even now acting it:
part in the grand programme of theNorth
of hedging in the Sauth with wall o
fire.
