A Perpetual Pledge and Cove ~ nanG.

Southegn States ondcT c confln"- Gace Qffha present .Natur05j@atjo" Lai0S. man, in full possession of his senses, will attempt to controvert. .2fricon Slarery cannot continue under ths Dresent Naturalization La208. Let the planter, the mechanic, the lawyer, the merchant and the doctor look at it. It is an undeniable proposition; and it is one which the so-callod Dem ocratic papers cannot and dare not discuss.
 Let us be understood at the outset. We do not deny that there are many enlightened foreigners among us; men who are truly part of the people of the South; men who have married among us and are rearing families here; men who are interested in slavery; who are strong, true, reliable friends of the South and her institutions. We do not deny this; but we reply to it that the foreigners who now come, arrive in immense masses-that they organ ize distinct communities-tbat they bring with them their national feelings and prejudlces-and that among these is an ultra feeling of abolitionism and freesoilism. This cannot be denied.
 In Kentucky, Fremont, FreesoiI Ticket has been nominated, chiefly ex- pecting it's support from Foreigners.
 In Maryland, a Fremont ticket has been nominated, and it, too, calculates on its largest support from Germans! In Missouri, the foreign vote has elected Black Republican Democrat (Blair) to Congress; and the Fremont Ticket in this State will draw its main support from Foreigners.
 In New Orleans, a German paper has dared to advocate the election of Fremont, while no .Nat5ue would dare such an act.
 In Colorado county, Texas, a negro insurrection was recently discovered, which was melted by ForeignerS.
 In Alabama, recently, two foreign CTS have been expelled by the citizens, for tampering with Slaves.
 In South Carolina, a few weeks since, two foreigners were expelled by the citizens, forincendiary acts among slaves.
 The man who shuts his eyes to this state of facts, could not see a house burning down, if 1t were within fifty yards of him. The evidence is over whelming, and no honest man can controyert 1t.
 Now what guaranty does the Dem ocratic party offer the South against the inroads of this foreign abolition ism? Does it acknowledge the evil and provide way for it's removal or mitigation? By no means!
 By no means, The Democratic party, in this particular. is pladgad ,emphatioally and perp3tually 0gG5ast fthe South Get their Cincinnati plat form and read it-and learn, that the Democracy of the Union have made a PERPETUAL COVENANT with FOREIGNERS, by which no obstruc- ton, by any modification of the present Naturalization Laws, or otherwise, is to be placed in the way of Mlnigra- h0n. 7He pledge is perpstuaI Hat Foreigners shall continue t0 come: and under the operation of the princi- pie of the Kansas act, they will con- tinue to flock here, appropriating our fresh lands and crcIudlng lie South!
 Men of the South do you hear the mutterings of the German thunder, . on the Western border of Texas? Do you appreciate the deadliness of a freeSoiI blow, in that direction? Do you feel right, when you hear that a serYile instruction, involving every Anglo-SaXon life in whole county in Texas, was discovered only in time to ward off blow directed by foreigners? In view of MeSe filings, how do you feel, when you turn to the platform of one of the parties of the country, and ind that it is pledged beyond all re- demption-pledged now and forover-t to encourage the migration bither of the countless hosts of Europc's ienor- ant. fanatical, red republican popula- ton
 The Democratic pledge to the For eign element is irrepealable. It may have sealed the doom of the South.
 Men of the South. Will you wait till your houses are fred?-'tiII it is too late to arrest evils which you see and feel and only need the nerve to meet and repel .-AEa5Z.
