Character Of the Voters i'm Dorted to rule
us, ana the Wealth'' Of a Foreign Pa
pal Immigration.
Quite often statement appears in some foreign
party newspaper, representing that foreign immi-
grafton brings great deal of wealth into our
country, and ending with the exclamation. Be-
hold the folly of excluding such an immigration "A
this" In reply to such nonsense, we will say that
no American oh ects to the reception and welcome
of intelligent and useful citizens Of foreign birth.
1t is only against the wholesale importation of
degraded foreign population thatwe enter our pro-
test such, for instance, as are likely to spread
pauperism, disease, and crime among us, and to
become the tools Of our shallow-pated political
demagogues. Scarcely one out of ten of the inn
migrants that landed among US during the last five
years, brought money enough with him to sustain
him week, whilst many Of them had to be trans
ferred directly to our almshouses for support
The great mass OF the modern immigrants we find
pretty well described in article written by Chas
Gaven Duffy, for the Dublin Nation newspaper, Just
before he left ireland, last year. to take up his
abode In Australia. Let Papal Ireland and her
eulogists look upon the picture. Thus wrote Mr..
Duffy:
"The famine and the landlords have actually
created new race in Ireland. / have seen on the
streets of Galway crowds of creatures more de-
based than the Yahoos Of Swft--creatures having
only distant and hideous resemblance to human
beings. Gray-haired old men, whose idiot faces
had hardened into settle leer of mendicity Sc
mions and semi-human, and women ilther and
more frightful than the harpies, who, at The jim
gle of a coin on the pavement, swarmed in my
riads from unseen places, struggling, screaming
shriekng for their prey, like some monsrous un-
clean animals
In Westport the sight of priest on the street
gathered an entire pauper population, thick as
village market, swarming around him for relief
Beggar children, beggar adults, and heggars in
white hair Girls with faces gray and shriyelled,
the grave stamped upon them in decree which
could not be recalled women with the more
touching and tragical aspect of lingering shame
and selfrespect not yet affected and among
these terrible realities, mposturc, shaking in pre-
tended fts 10 add the last touch of horrible gro
tesqueness to the picture.
+" have seen these accursed sights, and they
are burned into my memory forever. Away from
the town, other scenes of unimagnable horror dis
close themselves The traveller meets groups land
even troops) Of wild, idle lunatic-lookng paupers
wandering over the country, each with some tale
of determination to tell.
IL he penetrate into a cabin and can distn-
guish objects among filth and darkness, of which
an ordinary pigsty affords but a faint image, he
will probably discover from dozen to twenty in
mates in the hut the elected cotters, clustering
together, and breeding pestilence! What kind
OF creatures men and women become, living in this
dung-heap, and what kind of children are reared
there to grow up into a generation, have no
words to paint"
Such, good reader is the picture Charles Gayen
Duffy drew OF Papal Ireland in the year 1855, nine
years after the famine of which he speaks. The
pauperism, destitution, and extreme degradation
prevailing in Ireland did not arise from " either
famine or ejectment," but from the Incidence and
Incorporate habits Of the priestridden Irish. whilst
they remain under priestly influence. 1t arises
from their fondness for wrangling instead of work
ing, and Of their negecting everything else to in-
dulge in fretting and fumng because England hap
pens to be best with anti Catholic rulers If they
could not recover from the effects of the famine in
nine yeaIs, they certainly in state of hopeless
idleness and degradation.
Catholic Austria and Italy present picture not
much more hattering than this in many parts of
their dominons and there are particular places in
all the large cities Of our country, where Pa
pal Ireland cuts horrible ugly picture. From Ire
land not less than one hundred thousand immi-
grants of the class described by Mr.. Duffy are inn
ported every year, and an equal number from Cath
olic Austria These beings come not to our country
to bring wealth with them, but very often to bring
along with them and spread over our land, such
terrible diseases as the ship fever, yellow fever
cholera, and small pox. They come over here to
propagate vice, pauperism and crime, and in their
own persons or in those OF their children, to figure
10 OucHucIb ASttubk pcTbOub anu property OF
our citizens, and as tenants Of our watch-housep,
jails and pententaries
1t is that class OF immigrants described by Mr.
Duffy that cast the Democratic maiorities of New
York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans.
st. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and other large
cities, and for whom the socalled Democracy are
trying to make worthy native.born Americans act
the part of" hewers of wood and drawers Of water"
Such are the men set up by that party to rule us
all with rod of iron, and, after mobbing us at the
polls, to step in and exclude native citizens from
Offices under General, State, and Municipal Gov
ernments.
After this, we hope to hear nothing from the
foreign partyA about "the wealth immigration
brings into the country" Heaven save us from
such wealth as Papal Ireland and Austria are like
ly to send us, and may the day soon arrive when
the Democracy" themselves win become ashamed
of serving such lords and masters.
BUDDHIsN IN CHINA.-An organization of some
thousand Chinese in California have dedicated
Buddhist temple in San Francisco, where they wor-
ship Ching Tai, an idol of famous Chinese war
rior, who lived about 1900 years ago, and con-
Quoted himself 80 bravely on earth that, at his
death, he was elevated to divine honors rep
resentation of the interior of this temple, which
has been sent from San Francisco, exhibits the
immortal Ching in sitting position, with mag
nificent moustache OF very long horse-hair. He is
ciotned with rich garments, and bis knees adorned
with jewels and precious stones. His face, we are
told, is very red, made so, perhape, by the blood
of his enemies or by his bushes at Ills exaltation
among the divinities. The priests kneel and bow
to this idol pour out Ibations, and chaunt hymns,
accompanied with gongs and cymbals, and o shrill
ringing instrument, for which the Chinese have no
name. The sounds are endured by the Chinese
with placidity perfectly unAccountable to OUT
siders.' Nearly every nation on the face of the
globe has helped to people the United States, and
we have now nearly all the professed religions in
the world, from Christianity to bastard Hahomme-
danism, as in Utah, and now idol worship in Cali
