More than three e-vuarters, or TO be particu-
lar, 78 81 por cent Of your foreign born citi-
Gems are Germans. Indeed the German ele-
lnent constitutes moro than third ofyour
whole population, and forty.one per cent of
your whole immigrant claim. Germany gives
you almost - many citizens rs the New Eng.
land, the Middle and Western Free States
combined. Stearns then is emphatically =

As Mr.. Wheelock surmises the report
Of marriages is incorrect. We have taken
the trouble to run over our files for go,
and find the marriage notices Of eight
persons married in this county, during
that year, by Protestant clergymen. w
have no reason to suppose that those arr
all Of that class, and AZ considerably more
half our population are Catholic. and thei,
elergynen have never sent in any notice d
the marriage. ceremonies, in which the,
of6eiate, it would be- unreasonable to sup.
pose our columns had chronicled one-third
tho marriages. ."Hso"~ -. '.'~'.-.."ff so
1t is due Mr.. Grande;meyer, who tool
the census, to say he is universally esteemed
q very careful, reliable business man,
We fnd in our issue Of May 18th, 1860
!. notice Of his appointment to take the
census. He worked with energy, and W
think, completed his work during the
summer. Only one Of the marriages W
have on record, Was ,prio, to his appoint
meut two Of the others after he had
passed over their localities aud one aftei
he had completed his work. :se--- Aya al
It occurs to ps that the mistake lies in
attempting to chronicle the, events of the
