Unless all the signs fail We may ex-
pect to have a great increase of emigra-
ton from Europe to this country this
year and next, particularly from Great
Britain, where the depression Of trade
is causing thousands to suffer, almost
to the very verge Of starvation. In
some OF the Southern and Western
States there are agencies of Englishmen
who assist emigrants on their arrival,
and these charitable and benevolent or
PLANTATIONS will be put to their best IN
providing for their countrymen VINO
will flock here next spring and sum
mer. This influx will augment our
population very considerably, and with
the natural increase will make epop
ulation Of the United States, in 1881,
fully so, 0O0, 600. 1t is estimated by ex-
per,s that our population on the first
day of this year, was about AZ, GOO, 600,
divided about as follows Eastern and
Middle States, IA, 50o,ooo Western and
Pacific States, IL, 30o, 900; Southern
States, II, 900, 900; Territories, zoe, 600.
1t is quite likely that in the next two
wears the Western States will increase
their population to figure beyond that
O. the Southern States, and will there
by become the most powerful section in
Congress. The Solid South will then
wane in importance unless the states
men from that region espouse new poll
cies. This is a most propitious time
for a display cf patriotism all over the
country, for the enactment of laws that
will tend to preserve peace and good
order and promote good feeling in all
sections. Prosperity is simply waiting
for such a sentiment to become univer-
sally prevalent, to return with her
priceless benisons, and remain with ui
permanently.

The Every Ereaing and the other
Democratic papers Of the State have
not founl out yet Notwithstanding that
we have been calling their atteaton to
it, day after day, that the two lower
COMMITTEES Of the State have defaulted in
tn. rayment of s26, 600 due the State.
Yesterday the rst named paper devoted
nearly the whole of its editorial col.
umns to show how Tilden had vindi-
Gated himself and in finding fault for
publishing the Tilden cipher kilograms,

thing about this little affair OF SIC, GOO
down in Kent and Sussex. We would
advise our big overgrown neighbor to
never mind the Presidency; Tilden
was fairly beaten, and Hayes makes
very excellent President. So far as We
know there have been no embezzle-
ments by United States officers, and as
for Tilden, We may rejoice that he did
not succeed in purchasing the Presiden-
cy. But if the Fiery Erening really
wants to expose dishonesty and fraud
here is real genuine case right at homt
here in Delaware for it to attack. The
greatest diff Guilty is to get it informed
of tn. fact that there is delinquency
on the part of the Democratic tax col

any thing about that big default o

the big default Of the Democratic ofhc'
holders down in Kent and Sussex. n
doubt the "E. L" will allude TO it al

wrath upon the REPUBLICAN for expos
