IMMIGRATION.
Mr. Editor: The question of
immigration ia an old one and has
occupied tbe attention of our leading
statesmen and thev public generally,
for many years, .in fact,, from the
earliest history of our government.
It is, so far as we know, the almost
nnaDimoua opinion of the citizens of
5
our State aud of the United States,
that immigration is highly advanta
geous to the republic, and so strong
a hold has this sentiment upon our
people, that any one opposing the
popular will on fchis subject, might
be considered, by" some, at least, as
an opposer of that which is most
beneficial to the people and thus
place himself in an unenviable atti
tude. We propose discussing the
subject briefly, presenting our views
honestly entertained. It is true that
immigration has done much to open
and develop the vast and varied re
sources of our great epublic,Mbut we
think the time has arrived when a
check should be placed upon it.
Immigration from Asia has already
given enr government considerable
trouble. .The last census shows that
there arc about one hundred and five
thousand of the Mongolian race in
lhe United States. They reside
mostly in the Pacific States; Cali
loiiji.i having tbe largest share. The
best evidence that we have that
Chinese immigration should not be
allowed is the bitter opposition it
meets with in the Pacific States, wh-'-re
tho ''coolies" principally reside. In
i 878 a bill passed both houses of
Congress set!ng aside part of tha
liurliugame treaty end thus putting
a chtek on further immigration from
China. The bill was vetoed by Pres
ident Hayes, because he considered
the faith of the government pledged
to tLe fulfilment of tt.-e treaty. But
for this veto, Asiatic immigration
would be entirely stopped. That
great and good man, Gen. R E. Lee,
gave it as his opinion that Chinese
immigration was injurious and would
bring trouble in tbe future. We do
nut thitik that any imn in the United
States could reasonably expect the
electoral vote of the extreme west
for the Presidency, if he advocated
Chinese immigration. We suppose,
however, that there is an element in
this country, led by Rev. Henry
Ward Beteher, who favor immigration
from Asia, in order , that these hea
thens by intercourse with a higher
civilization, may be converted from
lVganism to Christianity. We pre
fer to let these "opium eaters" re
main in their native land. Some
nry consider the Chinese ques ion
a dead one, but all will agree that
European immigrat:on . is a live
subject.
Statistics fchow a f abing off of many
thousands of immigrants from Europe
for the year 1883, compared with the
year 1S82. For this we ongbfc to be
thankful, for various reasons. First,
we will notice European immigration
in relation to the temperance ques
tion. The 1'quor business has reach
ed hnge dimensions and is, we sup
pose, still growing with alarming
rapidity. It is startling to know
that enough of the poisonous stuff
is drank annually to pay the naiional
debt. We charge our foreign born
population with being responsible,
to :i gru;t Ofgree, for this f4ate of
affuiis. As proof of this we will
notice some t-titiVies obtained from
tiie bight s?t autuoriiy. The American
liquor trade several years ago was to
great that there' were G 1,265 wine
and liquor shops in the United States,
27, 312. of these were kept bt Irish
and Germ:ins,and more than half the
b dlance were kept by other fereign
ers; only 11,423 being kept by native
Americans. The 3,30,073 Irish and
Germ-ms, comprising less tnan a
tenth of the entire population, did
about one half of the United States
liquor business. Statistics of the
liquor trade of New York city, alote,
indicate that of the 8037 liquor deal
ers there, ti 04 had been in the State
prisons, 2645 iu county prisons, 1769
had been confined in police stations
and only 161 6 had so far escaped
the clutches of the law, most of them
also were foreigners. Of tbfc 034
rum shops, mure than 60 0 were
kept by Irish and Germ ES and not
one in forty by Americans. Among
the liquor dealers were numbered 2
Chinamen, IS Italians, 140 Spaniard,
1C0 Welch, 2S." Africans, 185 French,
4U7 Scotch. 5C8 English, 2179 Ger
nuns, 3010 Irish 674 whose nativity
is unknown. Of the 3696 women
who keep rum shops in New York,
3 were Africans, 4 Spanish, 4 Welch,
10 English, 13 French,ll04 Germans,
2548 Irish, 396 unknown, and only
one American. And of the 8034
drinking places, one half were
saloons jind barrooms, the rest were
gambling hells and brothels.
This indicates the character and
standing of the liquor trade in
America. It is not carried on by
the best element of our population,
with a few exceptions only, but by
ignorant foreigners jail birds, dis-
charged convicts, prison graduates,
etc. Of course we do not wish to
be understood as saying that all
men who engage in the liquor traffic,
are bad characters, for we think
some of them are honorable men,
but are committing grieveous sins;
neither do we wish to be understood
as believing that our foreigD born
population is void of honorable traits
of character, indeed we think we get
some of our best blood from foreign
countries and that we have 1 undreds
of thousands of excellent citizens who
are not native born Americans and
we endorse the kind consideration
that such have always received.
The foreign born part of our popu
lation are now well lepresented in
Congress. In the Senate, Ireland
has three members, Scotland and
England one each. In the House
there are eight Irishmen, live Ger
mans, three Scotchmen, two Eng.
lirfhmen, one Norwegian, and O'Hara,
frcm North Carolina who was born
in New Brunswick. We think this
eminently proper and just and if we
could always obtain immigrants of
the better class, we could not object
seriously, but this cannot be. Euro
pean immigration is objectionable
from another point of view; it-fosters
Romanism, that hideous power, that
many centuries ago was drunk with
the blood of the saints" The Cath
olic population now numbers about
five millions and will be increased as
immigrants arrive. Where is
the Protestant that desires
to see the "mother of harlots" thus
gaining ground. Judging the future
by the past, we do not think it ad
visable to allow the Romish Church
to have more power in the United
States than she has. Who will dispute
the fact that she is indebted to im
migration for her present power and
strength. Just as certain a immi
ration continues from Europe, the
Romish Church will be augmented.
We desire to enter our protest against
strengthening Catholicism by immi
migration.
Again European immigration is
doing much harm in regard to Mor
monism. The Mormon questioii is a
difficult one as shown by the trouble
it is giving "our solons" at W ashing
ton, Edmunds of Vermont, who is
said to be a kind of law library on
wheels, has given the subject much
attention, but as yet little or nothing
has been done, and what can be done?
Talmage recommends powder and
lead, but we do not endorse this, but
while our ministers, editors and the
people generally denounce and hate
the doctrine of polygamy, Europe is
pouring her Mormon immigrants into
our territories. As an evidence of
their fiaanoal ability, it is said that
their temple at Salt Lake City has
already cost five millions of dollars
and will cost two millions and a
half more to complete it. They have
also a tabernacle which will seat
twenty thousand and which also is a
marvelous whispering gallery. Utah
is hopelessly Mormon, Idaho has
many adherents, while Arizona will
probaoly soon be in the clutches of
the "Latter Day Saints " Let the
United States government prevent
further Mormon immigration from
Europe-
Again we think it probable that
European immigration has a tendency
to unsettle our free institutions. It
is but, reasonable that men brought
up under the influence of kingly gov
ernment8 would bring some of their
ideas of governmental affairs with
them. An intelligent foreigner told
the writer that he had ''much regard
for the American people but little for
tbe government" A strong govern
ment centraiiz tion would pro'o ib!y
buit the foreign element. For the
final success of our institutions we
prefer to rely upon the native born
American. Sooner or later we ex
pect to see some change in the pub
lie mind in reference to immigration.
A distinguished writer in North
Carolina recently said, 'American
labor will soon look with disfavor on
foreign arrivals. The census of 1880
gives us more than fifty millions of
people, North Carolina having about
fourteen hundred thousand. With
out any increase from abroad, the
nineteenth century will swell this
number many millions, so we cannot
see the necessity of foreign irumigra
tion. As for the old North State she
certainly ba as many people as she
can care for. Our own county, Cald
well, has not enough land for the
rising generation. As proof of thi9,
pne has but to look around. Many of
' our children, without a great change,
will have to seek homes in the distant
West. What we need is immigation
from the States with money, energy
and brains to develop the mineral
resourses, utilize our water power
&o. &c.

Complete Text of hi Speech Before tbe

T le Jackson, Miss., Clarion gives
the following complete report of tbe
upeeeu of Mr. Jefferson Davis at tbe
ovation extended to him by tbe Le
l.s'ature of that State on the 10th
instant :
"Friends and Brethren of Missi99.
ppi: In bnereit terms, but with
the deepest feeling, permit, me to
return my thanks for tbe unexpected
Lonot you Lave conferred on me.
Away from tbe political sea,I have in
my secluded home observed with
intense interest all passing events
affecting tbe interests r-r honor of
Mississippi, and have rejoiced to see
in the diversification ot labor, tbe
development of new sources of pros
penty, and the increased facilities of
public education, with reason to hope
for a future to our State more prosper
ous than any precceding era. Tbesafety
and honor of a republic - rauat rest
upon the morality, intelligence and
patriotism of the commuuity.
"We are now m a transition state,
which is always i bad cne, both in
society and in nature. What is to be
the result of the changes wh'ch may
be anticipated it is not possiMe to
forecast, but our people have shown
suh fortitude and have risen eo
grandly from the deep depression
ii flicled upov them. . that it it- fair to
entertain bright hopes lor tbe future.
Sectional hate, concentration itself
upon my devoted head, deprives me
of the privilege accorded to others in
Ike sweeping expression of 'without
distinction of race, color or previous
condition,' but it cannot d p -ive me
of that which is nearest ard dearest
to mv heart, the riybt to be a Miss-
issippian, and it is with gratification
that I receive this eophatic recogni
tion of that right by the representa
tives of oar people. Reared on tbe
soil of Mississippi, the ambition of
my boyhood was to do something
which would redound to the Lonor and
welfare of the State. The weight of
many years admonishes me thai my
day for actual service has passed, yet
tbe desire remains undiminished to
see tbe people ot Mississippi prosper
ous and happy, and ber fame not
urdike the past, butgradually growing
w'der and brighter as the years roil
a-ay.
"It has been said that 1 should
