the latter makes the race for superior
strength in the councils of the nation hope
less SO far as the South is concerned. Could
we cut off this foreign immigration, the
results would be reversed. ID The South
would sooner or later preponderate in the
popular branch Of Congress. Upon this
part of the subject we will introduce the
following corroborating extract from DIR.
Busey's work: ~sr n-.s~a
" The entire foreign population in 1850,
was 2,240,5 6l, of which 876, 204 resided in the
Southern States, which would give under the
existing law regulating representation, four
Representatives To The Southern and twenty
To the Northern or free States. This simple
calculation demonstrates that the representa-
tive prepOnderance of the free States is owing
10 immigration. The present Federal represen-
tatiOn of the Northern States is IA members.
and of the South 80, which gives to the North
"A majority. If the representation due the
foreign immigration of the North be deducted
from its present representation and added to
." that Of the South, the North would have
l24 members and the South ITO, or if the re-
presentation due TO the foreign population be
deducted freIn each, the North would have
100 members and the South Sc, majority of
81 IN favor of the North, whereas now the
majority is 81, showing gain to the South of
90 members.
The fears of the Soutll from the North con-
slst in the rapid advancement Of the latter in
political power, and this political power is in
creased annually by immigration from Europe,
aud in the rspidity of increase Of the foreign
over the native population.
Besides the political power. the South has
o:her dangers to apprehend from other
evils. By table published in the compen-
dunn of the seventh census giving the num-
Der of convicts in prisons and peniteptiaries of
he several States, out of every ten Thousand
Of the population, the proportion of natives
and foreigners to that number is as follows

that the President is resdy to strike a blow at

The foreign vote not only elected Pierce
but had l5O,64 to spare. With such evil
5 dence as this Of the all powerful influence
of the foreign population in a Presidential
election, Native Americans determined to
do something to counteract thence, the
American Party Democratic demagogues,
to make the foreigners still more faithful to
the party, at once took sides against the
new party and in favor of the old state of
things. 1t was in vain that the evils OF
foreign influence were demonstrated, in
vain that Southern men warned the South
of the strength which abolitionism drew
from this redundant source of evil; of the
steady and sure increase of the responder
ance of the free States. il the councils of
the Nation and in tko Electoral College.
The star of Fore,gnism was in the aScen-
dant 1t CT dtinued to climb the political
firmameat, and upon the nomination Of Mr..
Fremont, had reached the meridian, and
vas shining with unclouded brightness. But
with that nomination it has began to de-
cline, and we hope will ere long go down
forever. The nomination of John Charles
Fremont upon a clean sectional anti
slavery issue, awoke in the breasts of for
eignerS all their anti-Slavery prejudiceS,
and they have in large numbers deserted
the standards of their old friends of the
Democracy, and ranged themselves under
those of the AbolitonSts and Negro-wor-
shipping Republicans. This stampede is
not confined to any one free State-it en-
braces all of them; and so disastrous is it
upon the Democracy Mr.. Buchanan will
not, in AL probability, carry more than One
if one Northern State. 1t has completely
overturned all Democratic calculations of
success. This result is nothing more than
Americans expected. They had shown
that foreigners were opposed to slavery,
and expected them to make use of the first
and most potent means to strike deadly
blow at the South The support Mr.. Ere
mont is receiving from foreigners is cOnclu-
sive proof of the positions of the American
Party with respect to their hostility to
slavery and the South.
In this connection, and while this fact is
staring us in the face, it is proper for US to
show Southern men again the extent Of the
influence of foreigners against us and in
favor of the North-the actual strength
they confer upon the free States In doing
this We shall gather facts and figures from
DR. S. c. BuSey's work on immigration,
which we commend to all seeking correct
information on this subject
As to the influence of foreigners in the
House of Representatives and the Electo-
raj College, and what the South has to
fear: The present ratio of representation
in the House of Representatives is 93,423.
Divide the number Of foreign population in
each free State by this ratio, and we have
the number of Representatives foreigners
send to Congress, as well as the strength
they have III the Electoral College:

Fifteen therefore is the actual and I'M
deniabe representation Of the foreign pop
ulation in the House of Representatives
and in the Electoral College. But TO
make up the full complement thirteen
Representatives have been assigned by law
to those States having the largest residual
~ fraction over and above the ratio of re-
presentation. OF these thirteen States in

almost en- masSe, and it was this foreign

And the total proportion of the foreign of
the North and the South is three times as
great as that of the negro in both pections. 1t
is clearly deducible from these facts that the
South has most to fear from immigration.
Besides the physical and political power which
immigration gives to the North, of which the
South has so long complained, the South suf-
ers comparatively more from the accompany
ug evils of immigration, crime aud pauper-
ism, than the North.
And now, taking these alarming facts
into consideration, in connection with the
stampede of the foreigners from the Demo
cratic TO the Abolition ranks, and the con-
Sequent total destruction of Mr. Buchanan's
chances in the free States, what ought the
people of the South to do? Is there any
means by which they may escape from the
dreadful whirlpool around which they are
circling? They should examine these
points and determine, regardless of all
party ties. They owe it to themselves, to
their own loved cline, and to the Constitu-
ton of their country to do so. Whatever
politicians, whether disappointed Office
holders or ambitious place-men may say,
there is good reason to believe that Mr..
Fillmore will carry New York, to say moth
ing of other free States. The Americans
and conservative men in that State, united
upon him, place the result beyond reason
able doubt With the Mirty,fUe votes of
New York and the one hundred and t1centy
of the South, he can be elected, all the
dangers of sectional President avoided,
and the measures of reform necessary to
check the evils of foreigniSm consummated.
1t is, under these circumstances, the high
est duty of the people of the whole South
to unite upon Mr.. Fillmore and elect him.
They could not, and they know it, make a
better choice. He has been tried and
found to be "true as steel I" to the Consti-
tuition and the Union, to the rights of all
sections; and every candid heart felt when
he left the Chief Magistracy that-in the
language of the President of the Cincinnati
Convention" the affections of grateful
people should follow him to his home and lin
ger around him in his retirement" No one
can really doubt his conservatism, nor the
beneficial effects of his election. Throw
aside, then, people of the South, all private
and party preferences, all contrary predi-
lections and prejudices, and unite upon
WILLARD FILLMORE. Do this, and the future
peace, prosperity, and tree glory of your
country will be placed beyond the machina-
tons of plotters of disuniOn, and the rights
of the South secured.
