The political OWLS arising from the ineursion
offoreigners are not so threatening, in the view
of the author, as the measures that have been
adopted in many places for their remedy.
II is asserted that the political OWLS attending the
foreign immigration constant and etupendOus, and
consequently require the restrictive influence Of law.
Tbat these evils arc numerous AMI great, no one
yould be willing TO deny; and ye is not Impossible
to exageerete and mistake thcm. The right OF sui
haee one not 10 be tfhed away committed to I'M
worthy hands. The balot-box Is tho hdlng-plac OF

ously guarded and proper limitations TO this night

eieiers. And wo imagine that the worst evils arising
from tho incfecse of an alien population, TO be
found ia tie corrupt trucking vi the leading p0ucal
parties what they wont 70 designate the foreign
vote Tho pleasant cOuTtcsics OF native politicians
have intoxicated the credulous alon and the rival
bids for his suffrage have invested him with inflated
consequence. For this great dainning political sn--ot
cberishing and nursing foreign vote, and consodat-
ing tie suffragos Of the naurazed olicns-these par
ties are now suffering Acknowledgement and overthrow.
Their retrbu,iOn Is JUST and I've have no more sympa
.hy TO waste their destruction than praise to bes
tow upon ife mems by which ID Is accomplished But
arnccting must need apprehend greater conso-
hdafOn Of the foreign interest than before. The
truc policy to divide and not to unite this vote. If
should ally itself with the dlsccta memsra OF the
old parties II may present new and more dangerous
front than we have ever beheld II il admitted that
he peouIor nature of tic evil has required sweeping
remedy but a eagacious patriot VIII confess to little
uepidstion as TO tho result when, in sweeping 80
many political domagOgues out OF the places they have
20 long filed, il has swept in 30 many Protestant,
clerical politicians who in exchanging the pulpit and
their appropriate duties for noisy debate in legislative
halls at yaious capitals of the States, may yet mourn
fully and disasirously for tho country If not for them
selves verify the Scripture which teaches the compa-
ratyo folly, in their generation, of the children of
light.
The duties of Americans toward the foreign
immigration are forcibly stated in the closing
paragraphs Of the discourse.
The distinctions between several races, occupying
the same regions, involve duties which very
unwilling to practice. Those who most favored
by and Providence their best assistance TO
those whose lot has been dark and unpromsing. An
exclusive affection for any race is no virtue, and is
mark of an unimIrOved heart The Jealousy
which, under the OF PATRIOTISM regards with sir
lister emotions tie progress and influence OF the foreign
element and cares for no portion OF the human race but
that TO which itself belongs evidence of the folly
and sclbstness of an unCavated mind. True rcli-
giol whether in tho form of judaism or Christianity,
has always secuted an exclusive patriotism, an exclu
sre asccndancy of birth and spirit Of sectarlan in
tolerance. Ii has abolished national religion and
heal worship, that men, beng born of one blood,
might mako their sympahcs c0ox,ensive with hui
MARTY When the genial influence Of tha spirit shall

lfClrsiian Charity seeking ovorthe best good Of all
paiss temporal and eternal shall take the place of
mutual Jealousy and conflict; Al tho emgrant is kindly
rcsiyed and taught in bis dutics and responsibilities,
and ner--afcr a certain period, prescribed IN the
trutet wisdOm-pubhcy indicted into the high posi-
hon of citizen and endued with It's privileges and
irTuniles; If patience confidence and love and q
Wse waiting for the issues Of Providence take the place
obigoty, roorminaton and excusivenoss, It will not
long before the ioroign-bOn parents Of our land VIII
pat aside oil thoughts and relics OF their former patrai
connections and will sit in the twilight of Summers
day under the brilliant skies Of Western and
Southern plains and sing TO their children OF the
itdeEand without sigh Of regret teach them IN the
Inst principles of patriotism and rcyercnt affection for
their adopted country and prophecy TO them Of des
bay that shall unfold more and more OF beauty ana
grandeur; while the nations OF the Old World are
sinking into eifeminacy, or giving way TO the en-
Goeebments of the coming conquerors from Moscovy
and MlcTia. The various races OF our land, mingled
ard fused by true charity point to future that can
never be attained by divided and jaring nationality.
let rs not dash back the Drumming bowl from our
hps Let us prove ourselves wise and sagacous guar
dams Of the treasures which Providence has committed
70 our hands, Lot Us welcome the foreign immigration
ioi lis sake; as a matter of infinite advantage
toh sidcs; Of reverence TO the purest sentiments OF
humanity, and of honor TO the principles Of the Divine
government Then, If the favor of Heaven crowns
our institutions, The nobcsi type of human character
,ae world has seen, reproducing itself IN ever
higher forms, viii reveal its excellence end power in
i1s last stage of Mans circuit round the globe.
From the copious specimens we have given Of
Mr.. Lords mode of argument and illustration,
the reader may infer our sense of the merits of
the production. If the clergy always exhibited
an equal degree Of historical learning, philoso-
phcal penetration and practical good sense in
their comments on the great questions of the
day, we should hear less complaint of their in
terieren,s N politics.
