Tlie cm unuUiwes which iutenwned tliis spirit of emigration, as the " Memphis Eagle" remarks Jppear to Law been tbe political disturbances in the old worhl ; Mud iU causes, as evidencwl by the saWequent couduct 6f the emigrants them selves, were, first, a desire to improve their con dition pecuniarily aud socially, and, secondly, fab notions conceived on their part of the na ture of our institutions, asd wild aud undefined ideas of tbe liberty they seek Dot rxuprebend ing the great American idea, that there is uo lib erty without law. The influence of this great influx of Trans-Atlantic strangers, with their strange ideas, strange habit of thought, aud stranger customs, upon American pociety aud Americau institutions, is a subject pregnant with all that is American, and is worthy of the earnest and patriotic considera- uut ol ail wno arenotu.e slaves oi party ana have had their souls thereby shriveled up, until they havd become too small for the seat of a pat- rotic emotion. , None, we presume, will deny that the introduc tion of this large foreign element Las an influence of some sort upon American society. To deny it, would be to ignore the fact established by the cttnraon sene observations of ail men of the influence of association npon individual char acter. And, bere is an iurluence exercised thus by (he introduction of this foreign element, is it j a wholesome one or is. it deleterious ? is a ques- j tion which involves in its solution that other great question as to whether our institutions are 1 preferable to tliase of the old world. We say nce the late Abolition Convention at 1'itts thia is in vol veil, because the antagonism is For- ( burg, says : eienisra vtrsu Americanism. There is no fairness in attempting to dodge this question by the cup-trap talk about maui t fest dstiuy aud the capacity of the American stomach to digest this heterogeneous mass. Bodies politic, like physical bodies, are affected by the food they absorb, and as the buzzard stinks of the putrid carcass on which it foods, so '. ill America uidl of forcignisTh when she at tempts to digest five hundred thousand foreign ers annually, aud incorporate them as a part of herself. In contemplating the influences of this foreign emigration, there is none that the South feels so much, there is none likely to prove so disastrous to our tnstKutijnsas the influence it has exert ed in intensifying the anti-slavery feeling at the North. Eight out of every ten of t'-.ese foreign ers settle in the Free State as a matter rf choice, and there can be no other foundation for this election, than a preference for the institutions of the North aul a feeling of hostility to African slavery, Laving its origin in the great northern and foreign iiea, tat slave labor is disastrous and degrading to free labor. Is there ny one so bliud with partisan prejudice as not to be able to see tliat this adventitious addition tollie anti s'avery feeling at the North has a powerful ten dency to intensify it into full blown Abolition ism. As a secondary consequence of this foreign emigration, the equilibrium of power between the aVorth and the South has been destroyed the North being far in advauce in population, a-d other elements of power. There is no na tural or commercial reason why this should have been so. Our genial climate is more favorable to the natural increase of population than the rigorous eliraate of the North. This is a physi cal fact. The labor of the husbandman is as well rewarded here as there. The fields of en terprise are equally as varied and inviting as many an astute Yankee can testify, who has mi grated from Lis Northern borne but to surround himself with the voluptuous wealth of the sun ny South. The truth is, the North has been built op in population and wealth on the oppo sition of foreigners to African Slavery, until her power and influence span the continent. Is tt any wonder, then, that. this principle, which has been to her as the prophet's rod to Mount Horeb smiting the hidden springs of her power and prosperity should be the great controlling one at the North, and that her crowded population shauld seek egress by occupying the outlets of Slavery 7 Ah, let us not lull ourselves into se curity by imagiuing that the influence of these foreign emigrants is for Slavery, when their very opposition to it was the foundation of their preference far the North as a home, and when it follows with equal certainty that the North does not abolitionise them, since hostility to African Slavery" was' already a controlling principle be fore they siglted adieu to tbe fatherland beyond the rolling ocean. Political Abolitionism itelf is a foreign and not an American idea. It is one of the demons in the form of an angel vomited up from the very bowels of the volcano of the French revolu tion baptized in the blood and robed in the parted garments of the crucified genius . of con stitutional liberty in Europe. Call it what we will attribute it to what cause we may it is but the blossom from the bud of the cursed Eu ropean conception of the rights of man the mis taking of natural for rational liberty, which came as a destroying angel, in the night of Europe's troubles, and visited with disaster and dismay the efforts of dowc trodden millions to be free. It is the same insidious serpent of radicalism which, under the alluring cry of progress and the deceptive plea of reform, is Red-RcpvbUcani-ting America. True 'American RepuUicardtm found African Slavery under the wings of her eaidcs. and cherished it as a part of itself; Foreign L'ejyfUicanism ploclaims u'uiversal equali ty and fraternity, strike the manacles of politi cal slavery from the negro, and starve Aim tt, death. ... . Americans t Our mission is to put the marl of condem nation upon all such forkiq insM. HOW THE FOREIUN PAJ.ITY INTEND TO . i , RULE AMERICA; Chicago is on of the few cities in the Union in which there is a clear majority ( foreign born citizens or rather residents, for many who exercise the privilege of voting there are not citizens. There was recently a charter election in that city in which tbe foreign party had everything their own way. The following, from a Chicago paper, is a description of the proceedings at the election. and is, without doubt, fur specimen of the manner iu which the foreign party would rule America, if they should ever get the asceudancy " The lowest estimate we nave heard made of the illegal vote cast at our! late election puts at one thousand, which is double Dyer's majority, The Irish poured into the city from all the sur rounding country and voted. Hundreds of Cath olic foreigners in Cook county came to Chicago to help their countrymen. ! Many of these vaga bonds voted two and three times each, goiaifroro each warJ to another. Druiikeu Irish sailors were known to have voted as ofteu aa four times, under assumed names, changing cl ithes for the purpose. At the Seventh Ward, Irishmen were seen, alter having voted, fall into the ranks and work their way up to the window aud Vote again, while around the. polls stood a wild, excited mob of a thousand Celts, threatening death to all who opposed them. Hundreds who were thai lenged and rejected at the wards on the South ci.ln ivirnml nvr In tk!r Uiitntrvmnn nn flip , orth de and there deooitxl their ballots. A i great many swore in their votes who were utma- ! turalized, and, when the Bible was held to them, grasping it, they kissed their thumbs instead of the Holy bowk, and by this dodge eased their ten der consciences. The South needs no l'ter evidence the conservatism of the American party than the invectives hurled against it by the Abolition lead ers, -peo. W. Julian, of Indiana, once an Aboli tion member of Congress, anil, in the !t Presi dential election, the Abolition candidate for Vice President, on the ticket with John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, and, at present, the head and fowl of Abolitionism in Indiana, in a letter writ- "Une tmng I must say oti Know-notiiingism: VUV U1SA a. AA UO W VBf ) " V A. OVUI IIU'IU. I have opposed it from the beginning, but, before i i went to intsDurg i naa no CfinceptKHi oi me mischief it has done to the cause ot freedom in a thousand different ways. 1 wish I had time to specify and illustrate." ! The following extract fmra the Albany State Register shows the light in which the Abolition ists regard the American candidate for the Presi dency. Alluding to Mr. Fillmore, the Register scys : ' He was nominated through the influence of outside Whigs of the Silver-Grey faction, united with the ultraist of the South, aud because he was a Silver-Grey Whig, and teas pledged by his aiUTedenls, ky his present opinions and associa tions, to forward and sustain the policy of the South in sending African slavery into territory prohibited by the Missouri Compromise from its encroachments ! . No man in the whole North, not even (ho no ble Dickinson, is so detested and feared by th aho'itionUta as Millard Fillmore. Iliiajrcaulta not only from the fact; that jie signed thi Fugi tive Slave Law, and was the first to tL force it, iu the very teeth of the fiercest sectional opposi tion, but fmn a consciousness on the part of the abolitionists that nothing would so surely give a quietus to that agitation which is the breath of their nostrils, nothing would so soon shame abo litiouism into disgrace, as a calm, just, conserva tive and const:tutional administration of the gov ernment such as they know Mr. Fillmore's would be. They remember Low their pirate ship was becalmed, during his former services; ho wits timbers must have rotted on a stagnant sea, and themselves have perished of starvation, but for the opportune relief brought them by the Democracy in the election of Franklin Tierce. No wonder they should detest aud dread the mau to whom they so nearly owed their destruc tion, and that they should howl like baffled de mons at the prospect of falling again into his hands. S Aboutioxism and Dexocbact. Let those who would charge the American party with Ab olitionism read the following; Democratic autho rity. On the one side is the testimony of the Charleston Mercury, an ultra Southern Democra tic paper, friendly to the present Administration, and, on the other, that of a Democratic Free Soil member of Congress. If such evidence be not conclusive as to the. fact that the strength of the Democratic party, at the North and West, has consisted in its affiliation with Abolitionism, aud all other sorts of fanaticism, we know not what is. Tbe Democrats say that at present there is no such union. Grant it, and it only accounts for the present entire prostration of that party. These factions Lave, they say, j undertaken to . do business on their own books, and, in doing so, they have left their poor old mother so weak that she is scarcely able to stand upon her legs. Causes produce effects. - j i- "Thb Nobthebn Democbact. The Charles ton .Mercury is in favor of Pierce's renomi nation. But it does nut like the Democracy. It says : "The Democratic party has been overwhelmed at the North by Abolitionism, and is powerless, cither for its own national ends or the protection of the South. The party is Abolitionized. dismem bered, and prostrate." j Air. UumbacKi ol Indiana, a .Democratic Free soiler, made a speech in the House of Represen tatives, oo the 7th ult., on the Kansas contested i election case, in which hedeelared that "HE; STOOD BY THE OLD DEMOCRACY DOC TRINE, AFFIRMING THE!

The Times also says: Ve un derstand that he had his portfolio full of charac teristic skf tchet of individuals he encountered in the Southwest, which will be certain to find their way to the public eye before long; perhaps in a story book for Christmas, and perhaps in the columns of Punch. f f , .THE ELE' ; The election of five gentlemen to serve as Com missioners, of Navigation for this town, for the ensuing year, passed off yesterday with"mcch animation, but without disorder.; .

Wilmington Her, DEEP RIVER COAL AND COMPANY. IRON ORE As the meeting held on Friday night, for the purpose of hearing the remarks of gentlemen from North Carolina, explanatory of thia enterprise, was called at a late hour in the afternoon, we were unable to attend. We have, however, ex tracted from the American the following remarks prefatory of. the resolutions passed on the occa sion: Norfolk Herald. J 1 he .Meeting bidat NiOHT.--The meeting of the citizens, Friday evening, for the purpose of hearing the Hon.' Hugh WaddelL, and Dr. Mc Clenahan, of North Carolina, advocate the claims of the coal and iron interest in their State) was well attended, notwithstanding the inclemency of the the weather. Mr. Jas. H." Johnson was called to the chair, and Mr. Henry Irrin appointed secretary. On motion, a committee was appoint ed to wait on the gentlemen, which soon return ed with them. Mr. Waddell's address was very impressive, and at some points higldy eloquent. In the course of his introduction he alluded to the gross neglect with which Norfolk had been treated bv the legislature, calling her the Ireland of Virginia as North Carolina had been called the Ireland of the Union. Both places are iuti- mately acquainted with neglect. ; He came, he said, only to submit the proposition to their con sideration, asking at present no money, and was certain, when thej- had fairly considered tt, ma terial aid would be given. He very pleasantly alluded to the fact of Norfolk citizens having had their fingers burned before, by North Caro lina stock, and was somewhat afraid they would be wary of euteriug into thia. i He assured them that the present scheme could not end as former ones had he was in possession of the authority for all he said. He referred to the greatness of England, and attributed it to her iron and coal interests he spoke of many of our own cities and States which owed all that they were in a superior point of vinw to their mining operations, reference was also made to the t il dis-' tilled from this coal, which in many respects is superior to camphene and sperm eil. With re gard to thus a communication was read from Mr. Dobbin, which wai well received by the audience. Many other points were brought forward by Mr. Waddcll, but, as we expect to notice them again, we will conclude our reference to them at this time. After he concluded, Dr. Francis Mallory, our lelegate, arose, and m his usually happy manner responded to him, endorsing all he had said; the Dr. said something about " annexation, which was received with loud applause. He offered the following preamble and resolutions : Y hereas, there are extensive fields of bitumi nous tjoal and beds or the finest Iron are on Deep river, in North Carolina, to which it is very desirable that we should have access, not only on account of our local demand for these minerals, but because the Navy Yard and the national vessels visiting our port make that de mand very great, and we earnestly desire to be admitted to the great benefits of a country bo rich, not onlv in mineral treasures but in ag ri- cultural products : Therefore, be it Hesolced, That we learn with pleasure that a charter has been granted by the Stats of North Carolina for the building of a railway from Deep river to the North Carolina road, and that we will give such aid as may be in our power to an early completion of said load. ltesdced, That from . information, which we deem reliable, we believe that more of the neces sary elements for a National Foundry and Armo ry are to be found in immediate proximity to each other in the coal region of Deep River, than at .ny other point in the United States, and that a union of such an establishment by railway with the Navy Yard at this place would be an object of National interest ; we will therefore use our best efforts to ensure the success of the measures now pending in the House of Representatives of the U. States, for the erection of said Foundry and Armory. - Resolved, That a copy of these proceedrngs be sen to our Senators, and the Representative from this District in Congress, with the. request that they will use their efforts to aid in establishing a National Foundry in North Carolina. . Resolved, That a committee of citizens be ap pointed to co-operate with our friends in the Old North State, and to visit the coal and iron, region above mentioned, with a view to report to our citizens hereafter on the subject. S J. H. JOHNSON, Ch'n. Murder. We regret to learn tiiat Angus Mc Diarmid, Captain of the Steamer John H.Haugh ton, was thrown overboard on Saturday afternoon last, by Sam, one of the negroes belonging to the C. F. & D. River Navigation Company. The negro had absconded from the boat on its upward trip, and on returning to it, s the boat was coming j down, Capt. McDiarmid was in the act of tying him, when he resisted, got the rope entangled around McDiarmid's body, and pitched him in the river. The water was very deep, and the boat under rapid headway, and all efforts t save j him were unavailing. The body has not been re- ! ;overed. .
