| 1t will be seen from the above table, that in
most of the cities named the aliens comprise
more than one-third of the entire population !:
| in New York, and New Orleans, their num-
bers are nearly equal, while in Saint Louis
and Milwaukee, the foreign population con-
| siderably exceeds the native portion. The ef
feet of this is readily seen. The elections, Of
all kinds, III the places named, are unquestion-
ably controlled by the alien portion of voters,
either by their possessing sufficient numerical
strength, or by holding the two great political
parties in such positions that opc or the other,
in order to be successful, must accedc to any
demands they may choose to make.
The effect of any political movement OF en-
tcrprise, in any large city, upon the political
action Of the State at large, is too well known
to need moro than passing reference. People
in the country towns are apt to be influenced
more or less by the fashions and customs of
the great cities of their respective States, and
this principle applies as well to politics as to
every thing else.
The great thing to be feared is this that, as
large cities, this foreign influence will become
paramount all through the land, and the rens
Of government be finally wrested from those
hands to which they were originally confded
by the trainers Of our constitution, and from
which it was never intended they should pass,
viz: those of our native-born citizens. The
evil having grown so great, asis plainly evinced
by the foregoing table, is it any wonder that
our patriotic citizens are aroused throughout
the length and breadth of the land, and that
the popular watchword has become None but
Americans shall rule Americal'
~ After the 18th ballot, and not till that
ballot had been taken, Frank Pierce, of New
Hampshire, was withdrawn Well, we think
it was time when his vote was reduced to
3 IL votes, to withdraw him How judicious
his friends had become, indeed Wonder
where the "faithless phantom" had gone to-
Surely he didn't go over to Old Buck" The
published account of the proceedings on the
nomination state as follows:
"Much applause succeeded the nomination
of Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Douglas, but Presi-
dent Pierce's name was received coldly / I"
That was too bad Couldn't Phantom" raise
shout? Were all the office-holding delegates
mann? Can't Bishop Hughes do something
for Frank PierceP May be he can procure for
him cardinals hat Let him be cardinal ;
he is precisely in the condition of cardinal
of yore--one Cardinal Woolseyl Hence
| forward, then, be it So Cardinal Pierre!
| Wonder how many more americans Cardinal
| Woolsey Pierce will dismissp
