FOREIGN EM1GRATrox.-A paper

cratic party, and the sheet is puffed by
presses of that political stripe in con-
sideration of signal services it performs
on OF before election days, in bringing
one-eyed men to the polls. 1t gives
infallible evidence of being Democratic
in sentiment, eminently and thoroughly
so. 1t is edited and supported by men
who assume to know what policy Ame-
RIGA should pursue to-preserve her lib
critics, and to teach the sons of those
who achieved them-men from a mum.
Der four-fold larger than the patriots of
'76, but who, not like them, have not
themoral and physical heroism to pledge
their olives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors" in iberating their coun-
try from British oppression. Or, at
least, they have never exhibited, what
ever pledges made, will to redeem
them with blood. The Citizen devotes
itself to creating prejudices in the people
against Great Britain. A cowardly
foreign whelp, it points its nose from an
American kennel and barks at an enemy
it never dared to face in an open field,
even in righteous defence-here it
copies the bloodless tragedy of fifty
four-forty, or fight, and proves its De-
mocracy true. 1t lauds Walker, and
fillibusterism generally; and well it may,
for John Mitchell prayed for "pIanta-
ton of well fed negroes" and William
Walker is fulfilling the prayer in cary
ing out several-Democracy is here
again most clearly evinced.
On the subject of foreign emigration,
the Citizens Democracy is an fat. 1t
wants all Europe to flock to our shores
to keep American liberties and pros
perity from spoiling-a specimen of pa
triotism rarely to be found among the
natives of the soil except in arrant
demagogues who praise the ''rich Irish
|brogue" in hopes of the use of the shil-
lalah to help the freedom of the elective
franchise.
A leader in the Citizen of the first of
November, proclaims with an arrogance
fattering to the pride of men in whose
veins ruus the blood Of the heroes of the
Revolution, that "every man of sense
now knows, unless he be a Know-No-
thing, that European emigration is the
life of American prosperity" Cut
off, then, the stream of Irish setting
yearly to our shores-a horde that DO
not love liberty enough to achieve their
own freedom, who have lived in abase-
ment all their lives-and a American
interests would decay, American com
merce, trade, and prosperity generally
stagnate There is not virtue, enter
Prise, vitality enough in the American
people to save them from torpor or even
death except by an infusion Of mon
archical subjects from Europe! We
belong to the Anglo-Saxon race--a
race which conquered and rules over
the Irish Celts in the old world, but the
climate, soil, and perchance republican
institutions of the new continent so
enervates and degenerates the dominant
race when transplanted, that a ijudicious
infusion of the serfs is necessary to salt
us for national salvation ''Everybody
knows" that, check foreign emigration,
the "life-blood of American prosperity"
and the sons of heroic sires who founded
this magnificent social structure Of ours,
are so efeminate, weak and imbecile
that the fabric must topple to its ruin
for want of support! The hopes of
mankind are centered upon the ''great
experiment" The guardian goddess of
America-.just imagine her-stretches
out her virtuous arms imploringly
towards the savior of liberty, Ireland,
and sheds tears of joy like bullets when
squalor and ignorance emerge from the
hold of an emigrant ship to engraft the
shamrock in America
