For I - Advertiser.
A Word from . Foreigner.


Mr.. Advertiser In the Cedar Post
Of March 9th, q correspondent, "R, !"
asks some questions In regard to immi
grafton; whether the country would
not be better without immigrants since
the good who come are 50 much over
balanced by the bad--the scruff Of
Europe we ("R" and the Port
man and the country at large would
be better off to let the latter take the
even tenor Of its way aud get settled
up without them.
Mr.. Editor, to get the country settled
by such as the Post man it would be
like the days of old when his ancestors
got free passage to the colony Of Vir-
ginia--the Indian would soon own his
own soil again. II would be barren
and unfr uitful.
He also says the foreigner is sunk SO
low in crime and degradation that he
cannot SEQ the sky Of Liberty at sun
high over him. What have to say TO
the Post man and "R" is, to op,n their
eyes, II not NO blind for Office they can
not see, and view this one county OF
ours. He will find it settled from east
to west, from north to south, with
those foreigners whom the Post would
make Its readers believe are sunk so

Foreign immigration.

Wehad barely opportunity last week,
after noticing in the Cedar Post .
communication and editorial calling
our foreign citizens, as . whole, q
curse instead of blessing, and argu.
Ing that immigrafian ~.s.~..i-s noe -
encouraged, to express our surprise
that any newspaper, and above all q
Western newspaper claiming progress
sive tendencies, should indulge such
sentiments or give expression to such
. libel upon large and valuable class
Of our citizens. Therefore word
more upon the subject.
In the first place, without the for
eign immigration with which We
have been blessed, the total population
Of the United States would be less
than one half what it now is, and our
nation, instead of ranking among the
strongest of the governments of the
earth, would be only q fourth or fifth
rate power. To look farther down our
national history, we shall see that,
owing to the peculiar institution OF
the Southern States, the principal
part of the tide of immigration was
stayed in the North. To this fact
more than any other We owe the SUI
periority of the Northern States over
the Southern in population and re
sources 1t the outbreak CT the rebel.
lion. Time was when the latter far
exceeded the former in both these
great essentials, but our foreign emf
grants, the Posts . dead weights to
the car of progress" had given US the
numbers and assisted us to develop the
resources by which rebellion was
crushed out.
But we do not need to quote nation.
al history, or look at the millions of
acres of public domain that cannot be
made fertile too soon, to convince US Of
the Improperly and injustice of the
Posts proposition. Let US look at our
own State aud county-the latter alone
Is enough to satisfy any one. How far
back in population aud wealth would
Cedar county be to day if all her for
sign born citizens were taken from
her and the work they have done here
and the property they hovs aooanau-
lated during thirty years made as III it
had never been performed or gained ?
Probably full fourth of her citizens
are foreigners = Scotch, Germans,
Irish, and other nationalities-but If
you were to go the records Of all her
courts you would not find their names
entered there in one out Of every four
Of the criminal suits.
It Is too plain and too universally
admitt ed, for further, or indeed any,
argument that we need more immi-
grants In the next decade than we are
likely to get, let our Boards Of Immi
grafton, and all organizations for like
purpose, prosecute their good works as
vigorously as possible; and all sensible
men say, speed them in it.

We are glad to see so many OF our
exchanges speaking favorably to the
denomination Of Col Ed Wright to
the Office of Secretary Of State. Col.
Wright's distinguished services in the
War against rebellion are not forgotten,
and should not be T; but more pertinent
to the question Of his being put in
nomination by the State Republican
Convention for the office alluded to, is
the way in which its duties have been
discharged under his administration.
His industry, integrity and pre-emi-
Dent efficiency in that position have
long since won for him toe name and
fame Of public servant than whom
the people Of this, or any other State,
could wish or expect no better. A re-
nomination will not only be q de i.
served compliment to him, but it will

PIE OF pro bono understanding to
the State services that have been

hope he will be nominated BY com.

this aud many other counties will
rejoice to see it thus.
