IMMIGRATION AND SOUTHERN INSTITUTIONS. 49,
The Chicago Democrat, recognized rs good au
th"rty at the North, gives the following reason
for opposing the American party:
We are willing 10 10 anything Democratic to
unite the North But " would soon unite
with the friends OF human slavery ut the South
rs with friends in the North who make man :
birthplace or his dootiinal religion "A test for
office over aud above his charter and his princ-
pies. The same Democratic principles that make
rs detcst starery make us anxious for a healthy
foreign emigration as the best means Of getting
rid Oft.
And the Charleston g. c. Standard. South.
ern Democratic paper, yields the whole question
as 10 the influence of foreign immigration against
slavery, in tho following language:
The South has long been tasked 10 the accom-
ph>hmrnt of inconsistent objects. The one has
been tn expand to material development build
towns ard cities, and maintain responsibility ia
the eyes"f the world; the other was 10 march
with equnl pane upon vacant Territory. and pre-.
serve equality within the Union In pursuit OF
both ms are forced to competition Nth the free so
! ciety Of the North wih toice orr numbers, and
continually Increasing BY emigration. While
capable OF either, we are not competent t. both"
Here are the confessions of two prominent
Democratic Journals. one at the North and the
other at the South the influence ofimmigration
in overpowering the South. and making it sub,
servent to and dependent the North. The
thing is SO obvious that it needs neither confess
sion nor proof. Every body sees it aud everybody
understands it, The only wonder is that there
should be any division Of opinion among us on
the policy and advantage to thu South of doing
something to restrain and diminish an influence
81 destructive of the equilibrium of the sections.
and So fatal to the political and numerical power
