The policy Of the anti American or Sorsigu mr.
ty is defended on the ground that mmigation
10 is admitted that the population Of both Deh.
ware and Florida, both slave States, Il NOT equal
to the number of immigrants who intended to have
immigrated to this country during the year 1888
but who were prevented from doing so for fsr
that the American party might acquire soflcient
power to change the naturalization lava and ooa-
sequently. these immigrants would neither be ai-r
ded here twenty-one years. Then It ID the once
and the privilege Of voting which brings thsss
foreigners here, and not the desire 70 1mproys

because the privilege Of holding ONCE and the
elective franchise may be denied them they rehsse
to come, thereby deprivng us Of sufRciens mum y

These facts are urged as q reason why the noru

pamphlet is written by a foreigner and L \ pse-
sumed that he is familiar with the motives which

cares that the apprehension OF 4 change n es,r

why should they il they come to enjoy the bjsss-

might be altered?
II they come to enjoy liberty, 10 acquire prop
erty, and to improve their social and physical con-
dltion, why should they care If the naturalization

| poses for which they come. They come to ACQUIRE
political power and privileges; hence, when the
ascendency OF the American party seemed certain
Izs,svs declined to come, yet during the came
year 700 4l6 did come more than sufficient TO
settle two States equal either to Delaware o. Florida
During this year, (lS55,) sufficient number OF i'm.
migrants came to add three Representative 70 snv

The foreign immigration Of 1854 was sufficient to
have settled Learly three States, equal in white
population TO Arkansas two equal to Iowa, thres
equal to Texas, four to California, three 70 Rhode
Island, six to Delaware, or ten to Florida, so that
under the principle Of the Kansas Ksbraska law,
while immigration continues to come at the rate Of
1854, there may be within one year ten new States
applying for admission into the Union entitled to
their twenty Senators, and yet this would be- but
the senatorial representation Of 400 474 foreigners
These ten States would be equal in white popula4
ton to the State of Florida, each one of watch
would be entitled to representative in the House
of Representatives.
The political power already acquired by the for
eign population is fearful. Within the merit ten
years the Senite of the United States may be con-
trolled by the foreign vote. Each State being en-
titled to two it will require but slight effort in
the smaller and new States for the foreign popu-
iation to acquire such power over the State Le-g
gislatures as to control the election O. Senators
In that body there are now three foreigners, Ben
jan1in, Yulee, and Mallory, but it does not neces.
sarily follow that foreigners must be Represented
by foreigner. Such shrewd politicians viii avoid
