that be would be held personally re-

Foreigners and AbOlitioniSm.


We we're told by know nothing
stump speakers last fall, and it is
again being reiterated through their
papers in the South, that the great
body of our adopted citizens in the
North are Abohtionists. Nothing
is more easily refuted. By referenceto
Congressional proceedings, it will be
sssn that of all forsign-born citizens
who from time to time have been
members Of either House, not one
was an abolitionist. By reference
to the Census Report it will be seen
that Vermont, the strongest abolition
State in the Union, has the fowes.
number Of foreigners Of any North
ern State, and that Illinois, the
soundest of the free States upon the
slavery question, has the greatest
number Of foreiguers-in pro
portion to their respective popula
tons
But here is az authority which
should forever silence euch false
and illiberal representations, as 0e
have no doubt it viii with all who
have been honest in this opinion.
The "Rey." Theodore Parker, the
Prince Of AbOlitionists, and the In
alligator of nearly all their riots, and
who is supposed to know all about
foreigners and sbOlitionism North, in
Q recent public lecture at the Taber>
nacle, New York, in the course of his
blaokguardism of the democratic
party said:
dts votaries hug slavery, and
thus ride into wealth and power. It
is composed in part Of raw Irishmen.
Just freed from the oppression Of
his own land, he loves to tyrannize
over somebody, and weary of beating
his wife, he seeks an opportunity to
beat black men. We see this every
day an Boston; but | can pardon a
poor Irishman who has been borne
down for SO many years that it will
take generation to change him
into a true democrat OF republican.
Wonderful similarity Of opinion
between this Re0crena Abolitionist
and some of our Reverend know
nothings, as to the time that it will
take to transform a foreigner into
true democrat or republican.
