Diseases resulting from vicious
course OF life are greatly on The IN
crease, such as scroiulous com.
plants, dyspepsia, apoplcxy, and
neuralgia. 1t shows itsoli, too, in
another form, which should arouse
the attention OF American citizens,
and that is that tho blrth'rate in
Massnchusetts ia constantly dimin-
ishirE. In lsoO the census returns
the population OF MA sachusetts

from Massachusetts MIR. Hoar) has
the ingraliludc to say That these
Foreigners commit all the crimes IN
that State, and vote the Democratic
ticket II 1t be fact that they DO
vote the democratic ticket, then my
parry has tho credit, ut least, OF
preventing Il decrease in the popu
lation OF the old Commonwealth ;
for it is clear that were it not for
the influx Of foreign population,
Massachusetts would to day be on
the decline, for it is conclusivcly
shown by her own registration re
ports. and other sources, that the
number OF deaths among the native
population exceeds that of the
births! The blrth-rate IN Mass'1.
chnsctts IS greatly behind that OF
every nation in Europe.
These considerations recommend
themselves to every thinking mind
at tho present juncture of affairs
If Massachusetts has during tho
last ten years shaped the legisla.
ton of the country in regard to the
Southern States, let us now see that
she does not tastcn upon the young
and rising Commonwealth of the
