Effect of Foreign immigration
on the Slavery Question.

We ask all reasonable men to look
at the following extract from report
of the Secretary of the Massachusetts
Emigrant Aid Society concerning their
objects and plan Of operation. He
says:
"Thcrc is reason to believe several
thousand men of New England origin
propose to cmigrate under the auspi-
res orsome such arrangement this very
summer. OF the whole emigration
from Europe, amounting to some 40O,-
600 persons, there can be no difficulty
in inducing thirty or forty Monsand 10
Mjc That dircction-0o Kansas) 1t
determines IN the rigM ,oay the insti-
tutions of the unsettled territories, in
less time than the discussion of them
has required in Congress"
TnE RIGHT wAy Here is shown the
ray by which these Black Republicans
intend to free Kansas from slavery,
and all other territories, by sending
foreign population from Europe to set
tie them. Some 30 or 10000 annual
" from Europe, would soon fill up our
new territories with frccsoilcrs, under
the patronage and protection Of Black
Republican Aid Societies, and ever al
ter determine the destiny Of these
States against the South by settling
and colonizing the lowest rabble Of
Europe in them. All persons with the
least foresight, who will examine the
facts, can easily see that the practical
operations OF these plans Of lrccsolcrs,
will be carried OH by the instrument
tality Of foreigners, and hence the
WhoIcsalcsalc abuse Of the American
party by Greedy u Co.
This is a position that we have al
ways occupied in reference to the cf-
lccts oGforcign influence, and gives
rise to our irreconcilablc opposition to
them, and encouragement of them
coming to our shores, armed with the
dangerous privilege of cqoality with
native citizens, which they 50 often
abuse. According to the showing of
the Secretary Of this Emigrant Aid
Society, in three years new terrific
ry could be org anized into a sovereign
State, having the requisite population.
and this made up exclusively of for
cigncrs. And every three years a new
foreign State would be added to free
soil misrule, until the South will lose
all Importance in the government, and
aboitionism will assume a new and
boIdcr attitude, until the constitution
will be changed. Then adieu to South
crn independence.
These are startling facts, and are
reasons which have impcllcd us to take
the political position which we have
assumed.
There is a conspiracy against the
South by Aboltionism. These plot
ters find that the constitution of our
country does not sustain them in their
designs of propagandism, and resort
to this indirect manner, which they
say is the right ,ouy to do that which
they cannot do directly, and foreign
votes are the means and Instruments
by which they intend to carry out their
reasonable conspiracies. We ask the
South to awake from its dreams of Sc
curity, unscalc their eyes and remove
the film Ofparty prejudice by which
they are blinded. Let facts teach them
what is substance, and shadow what.
Our Scnates are filled with are filled
with Catalincs, our Councils with Cab
ais, and our Country with conspira-
cy and prescription. GLOW long our
patience is TO be abused" we know
not, but it is clear that the great
scourge and curse of our country is
abolitionism,a and its handmade foreign
ism. Every person must know that
lour-Gfihs of the foreign population &c
TO the free States as more cOngeniaI
TO their habits, and where their labor
is not put in competition with slave
labor, and also that nearly all Of them
are abolitiOnists when in these States
