The Torrent of European immigration to
be SEemmed
Every man In the free States should
read the following leading editorial in the
Richmond (Va.) Enquirer OF Friday the
29th inst Tnat paper is the most ardent
and influential supporter of Buchanan al
the South, and not surpassed by anv in
the Union. The article is important, not
Only on account of Its bold acknowledge
ment that the South support Buchanan
with the hope of thereby extending sla-
very, but as a manifestation of the really
hostile feeling entertained towards for
eign Immigrants by the leaders of the So
called Democracy. They hate that immi
grafton for it increases the north by the
half-lnilhon annually" They hate the
Germans especially for their love of
freedom and free institutions, and from
the fact that thev-the Shareholders
to exclude free labor from the territories
towards which the Germans rush, and TO
reserve those territories for future slave
markets. Tiis feeling is very heartily
expressed in the article III question:
Here it is read it:
I.oo's .'c Fn.ure In the Fa-c.
Every ones experience attests the truth
OF the maxim that very often the way to
arrest danger Is 10 meet II half way. To
prepare for is often 10 avert 1t. The os-
trlch, by concealing head in the sand,
does not elude or dlsarm the huntsinan.-
TO close our eyes to impending danger
will tut increase that danger and precipi-
tate our ruin. To yield 10 Black Repub-
hcanisn Will neither mollify It's anger nor
satlate Its hungry rapaclty. GIVE up Kan
sas TO them; give them all the territories;
and like the norse-leech, their thirst for
blood will increase by It's gratification.-I
Teach them that they can conquer and
we can submit, and the flush OF victory
Will stimulate their newborn courage for
fresh pretenuons and further Victories
lis treason 10 cry " Peace. peace. when
there is no perce." There is, there can
be no peace, no lasting union between the
south and Black tpublicanism. Either
that political heresy must be effcctually
and forever put down. or disunion is inev-
liable. Ifcome ii must, the sooner it comes
the better, for our enemies increase by the
half million annually, whilst our own
are almost stationary.
"a multitude like which the p"rulous North
r"urd never from her frozen l"il-, to press
Rhine or Danube, when her barulour
Came like deluge on the South,
And spread beneath Gibratcr To the i.y bian sand
The multitude ready to rush down on
the south is greater, hungrier aud more
rapacious than them. The actors are the
same. The prolific Teuton or Gothic race
seeking homes and food on the one hand;
the descendants Of southern Europeans at
tempting 10 repeal them on the other.-!
The scene only changed from the banks
of the Rhne and Danube to those of the
Ohio and Missouri
Forewarned, forcarmed.' We see the
numbers, the character, the designs of our
enemies. Let us prepare to resist them
and drive them back. 70 yield to them,
10 concede to them, 10 subSldiz them, as
The Romans did. vail but increase their
rapacliy and encourage their aggressions.
GIVE them all the unsettled territory north
of SO 80 to-day, and tomorrow, as Free
SoilerS they will claim all south Of 36 80.
Yield that, TOO, and the next day they will
invade the States, expei the slaves, and
seize upon our lands; agrarlanism is al
ready a part of their programne-the
ballot-box their sword of Brennus.
The election of Mr.. Buchanan may,
and probably will originate reaction IN
public opinion that will encourage the ex-
tension of the conservative institution of
slavery, and the extension of the British
and southern European races, for the very
purpose of stemming and turning back
the torrent of infdelity, materialisln, and
anarchy that threatens to overwhelm us
from the prolific hive of Northern Eu-
rope.
The election OF Mr. Buchanan would
be a~re-actionary moEelnent In favor of
slavery and conservatism. The election
of Fremont. certain and Immediate dis
union. The election of Fillmore would
subsidise the Barbarians by yielding them
the lands north of 80 : 80 min, increase
their numbers aud their rapaciy, and on
ly postpone disunion TO period when 1t
would be more periious than at present.
Besides his election might go far 10 wean
the affections, confidence and attachment
of the Catholics from our institutions, who
are now the best stay and support. They
might then think that the rule OF the Pope
would be better than 10 rulc-the govern
.ment of pirates better than the anarchy
of infidelty. Conservative as Mr.. Fill
more and most of his friends pretend to
be, the compromise which they propose is
but step towards Black Repubhcanlsm
subsidy offered to the Goihs- The South
must not yield Que inch-the religious,
patriotic and conservative North must not
yield an inch. but TO vote for Fillmore
will be to WELD an ell.
Let the south present compact ara un-
divided front Let her show TO the bar
barians that her sparse population offers
little hopes of plunder; her military and
self relIaut habits, and her mountain re-
treats, little prospects of victory; and her
firm union and devoted resolutions, no
chances of conquest. Let her if possible
detach Pennsylvania and Southern Ohio,
Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois,
from the North, and make the highlands
between the Ohio and the lakes the di-
I ,b south with "A l.
