"The women of the village, to the number of

The following is the dispatch received by the

1 Sienna, 10th Dec., 1854.
“The Pope, ofnaatingat St. Peter’s has promul
gated, af:er the Gospel (at 11 o : cloch) tho expected
decree. The Immaculate Conception is declared
the faith of tho Church, and whoever denies it is
a heretic.

Letter from writ of the Bishops of the Grand Coun

Lon,- the di-.cussl n lasted—Effects cf the Die: don
cr Dome, etc.
One of the Prelates who have assisted at the sit
tings which have been hold by the Bishops assom
hlcu in Romo, Mgr. Audisio, communicates to tie
Aruonia of Tuna the following details :
: *Rome ; Friday, 24th Nov., 1854.
“This day has been witness of a prodigy—l will
not say merely ol a triumph.
‘•lt was not a council, but a meeting of all the
Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops
residing, : who Lave arrived at Borne, for the
Inimacalato Cones; tiou of Mery. It was not a
council, for tho possibility of d&Jining the Immac
ulate Conception as a dogma, nud the expediency
of that definition were two points already decided
by tho replies of the Episcopacy to the Encyclical
from Gaota of the 2d February, 1849, but it was an
idea quite providential on the part of the Soverign
Pontiff to demand of tho Bishops assembled ia
Borne thoir opinions upon tho text of tbe Bull.-
This single examination led back the discussion
upon tho whole aubjrc*-, upon the proof and npnn
the objections, not to put again in doubt a propo
sition already renderoa certain by the unanimous
asseut of tho Church so read throughout tho world ;
but in order that tboßiphops now assembled might
unite in common their knowledge and learning in
order that tho ai(Acuities might be smoothed down,
that there might no longer remain a shadow of
them, if, indeed, there wore any, and that the pas-
V TT“' ■****—*'*»ixuaM“» xwiophfc
of cue month— v-mua tabu, as they were of one
faith— undue Jidt i.
“ The discussion lasted about twenty hours, and
occupied four sittings, held in the Vatican, on the
day iof 20th, 2lst, 230 and 24tb. They were pre
sided over by Caruinals Bruunelli, Caterini, and
Ssutucci; no Bishop was absent, and there were
present, also, as cousultents, about fifteen theolo
gians or the Secular and Regular G.ergy.
44 The sittings once open, and the draft of the
Boil distributed, there was no proof, no difficulty,
which had not been successively submitted to the
test of tbe most severe discussion ; for it is not
alone authority, nor alone reason, but reason and
authority united rai.Wi.dbUe obseguium , which is
tho estimate and criterion followed by the Church.
*********
44 Lot the Christi .n people know it. thou; let
tho Theologians and the pastors of the lowest rank
know it also; those whom the Holy Ghost has
constituted to teach and to govern tho Church, in
the midst of thoir flocks or assembled at the
Vatican, employed every means wh-.ch science and
investigation could supply to prepare the way for
the dogmatical definition which wih conclude by
declaring, in an infallible manner, that never, was
the most pure and most holy soul of Mary sullied
with original stain. This faith is found in tho
mind, in the heart, and on the lips of the august
assembly ; it burst out there with so much unan
imity and ardor on the day cf tho 24th ot Novem
ber, that one cun only ascribe the expres»ion of it
to an extraordinary impulsion of the Holy Ghost.
“That was the last sitting; midday sounded; the
entire assembly dropped upon their knees to re
cite tho Angelas. Then each resumed his place,
end they had no sooner exchanged a few words
than an acclamation to tho Holy Father, a cry of
eternal adhesion to the lloly See, to the Bee o* Fe-
Ur, arose, spread itself, bursting and issuing tram

And the instruction which, in the name of the
Church, these pastors demardwd of the Supreme
Fa*! )r, was the definition ol the Immaculate Con
ception* And these words vibrated in the boulb
with Hjch ireffaceabie virtue that it was a cry of
£'application from tho whole assembly, a supplica
tion so manifestly proceeding from the heart, and
so sublime, that, to comprehend it, it would bo ne
cessary to have heard it; neither pen nor speech
o, aid give an adequate i< ; ca <fi iK
“O Catholic Church l they eay that thou art dead
and what abundance, what j'o-.rer of life! Peter
lives and speaks in Pius IX. The dogma which
places on ilary’s head such a brilliant crown, was
providentially reserved for our times, in order to
prove that tho Church is always flourishing, always
indetcctible, always one * o * * * *
44 But it would exceed the limits of a letter if I
Bought to express all that I have experienced on
this occasion ; the roinembw'zcu will remain for
ever engraven on isy heart. That assembly, al
though it might be only an image of them, remin
ded mo, by she charaoter and gravity of its mem
bers, of these of EpLoans and Nice. It was thus
that the Fathers ol Ephesus, transported with joy,
and bursting out with acclamations, confirmed to
Alary the tide and the prerogative of tho Mother of
Goa—a prerogative which is the starting point from
which to comprehend and define the glories of
Mary. And if at Borne the Fathers could not as at
Nice, exhibit on their bodies the scars of the mar
-13 rs, the confessors and exiles were not deficient,
however, aud l have seen octogenarian Bishops bow
down beforo a Franconi and a Marongia. * * *
“ Iljiior and Immortal glory to the Catholic
Episcopacy and to the Bishop of Bishops, Pius IX.
44 G. Acdisio.”
The following account ot the proclamation at
Rome of the decree settling tfce immaculate con
c tisn of tho Vi .‘gin Mary as a dogma of faith is
| from tfce correspondent of tfce Newark Daily Ad
! vsrUser:
Rome, December 11.
| The immaculate conception of the Virgin is now
| a fixed Dot—a settled dogma of faith in tho Homan
Cat hollo Church. It w » magisterially proclaimed
in the midst of the celebration of the lets of the
I Conception in St. Peter’s, on the Bth inst., by the
; authentic voice r f the Supreme Pontiff. The cir
! cumstances were imposing. Over 200 fu.i robed
eeclesitbticr! dignitaries, including 60 Cardin*ls
J and 140 Arckbiabcps and Bishops, representing
i every part of the world, besides in numerable lesser
office-bearers of tho Church, assisted in tho cere
' monies of the eminent occasion. Perhaps so re
i markable ai assembly has not been convoked in
; the Metrcpcluxn Cathedral before, einoe the com
. mencement of th 2 century.
The grand procession was formed at the Vatican
at oV.c«k in the morning. It inc uded the
Pope’s choir, the civil authorities or the city, and
the whole papal household, en costume , with the
candies and vj rioas other insignia of fsstai occa
sion?. and m .*ed in >< lemn elate to the cathedral,
denting the prescribed Litany. A long line ot
officials preceded tho rich baldachin of the Pontiff.
A more sumptuous cortege could scarcely be con
ceived.
The spectacle in tfce Church after the Pope
mounted\fce throne, surrounded by the gorgeous
j suite, was perhaps too Oriental to suit Western
notions or religions rites. But the servioes were
evcrtheloss per orired with becoming dignity.—
Alter tbe chanting of tho Evangelists in Latin, and
i ir» Greek, Cardinal Macchi, as doyen of the Sacred
t oilege, conjointly with the prelates present, in
i eluding the Dish< ps of the Greek ana Armenian
j rite.*, presented a r . the throne a petition in the
1 Laun tengue, of which I subjoin a free transla
tion, via:
That which for a long time, O Most Holy _a
thcr, has been ardently desired, and with full
! voice demanded by tho Catholic Church, vix., the
i definitive decision by your supreme and intallibie
, judgment cf the immaculate Conception of the
j Most Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God, for
t augmenting her praise, her glory, aud her venera
j tion. We, in the name of the Sacred Colledge of
I Cardinals, of the Bishops of the Catholic world,
and of ail the faithful, humbly and urgently pray,
I that in this solemnity of tie most Holy virgin,
f may bo accomplished the common desire. For
wr.:ch in the nrds f of this august sacrifice
'll this Tern pie sacred to the Prinos of the Apostles,
and in this solemn assembly of the most ample
SeLate of B-suoft and people, deign, O Most Holy
Taiier, to raise year apostolic voice, and pro

denly become as gay as the flower-bordered walks
of a plea.'ore garden.
On th- conclusion of the Charch ceremonies
with al l mu of Thanksgiving, in which the whole
vast congregatioß joined, the procession was re
formed and returned to the Vatican, the Pope
being borno in a pontifical chair to the Chapel of
Sixtus IV., whore, in doe form, he crowned the
image I ho Virgin with a crown of gold, spark
ing wth previous gems. Among the distinguish
ed spcc'-aiora of the ceremonies were t-e Qaaen
of Saxory, the Diptomitic Corps, and the chief
cfficers ( l the Fiecch Garrison.
The entire ci’yjwas iliuminatcd in the evening,
including the of the Vatican; and the
French aud Ite*bands made the air vocal with

In the minutes of the nrocecdir-gs of the Su
premo Court cf the Uci.ea States, on Friday, Jan
uary 5.h, fnrnisaed to the National Intelligencer,
is tho following:
No. 8, (ongiuti dosket.) The State of Florida,
complainant, vi. the State ot Georgia. The argu
ment on the inptiou to iutertene in bhis cause, in
behalf of the l/uited States, was commencod by
Mr. Aitornoy general Cushing.
A brief ropfrt, we oteervo, hns been made on
the subjoctinmo Florida from a spe
cial comraitte'. The committee eajs:
Your Comnitteo find that tho Supreme Court of
the United Sliten had ordered a joint oomailesiou
to o:.amiuo th* points in di*pule, aatc the true head
or source of H. Mary’s riv6r and to run t liue or
lines thence u tho junction of the Flint and Chat
tahoochee rivers. That commission proceeded in
the dischargoof the duties prescribed by tho order
of the Court,ana had nearly completed tho same
when the cocmistionerand surveyor named there
in by the Bute of Georg,a, withdrew from further
co cporalioD to brirg thoir joint labor* to n close,
cube uietttcci and under tho orders of tho Gover
nor of Geo;£ia,;wmch necessarily suspeudod fur
thtr operations on tho part ot thoio named by the
Blate of Florida.
Your comMiltee deem it unnecessary to enter
into a di3Cufcion of the c .uses of this BUfpencion,
further thauto say that they fully approve ar.d
sustain the ckstion of the Governor cf this fctaia,
and of Col. ihnj. F. Whitner, the Commissioner ol
Florida, in iho discharge of his dolicato and iin
pou&nt trust, and the committee thinhs them in
no J'wibcrespcnsibic that the order of the Coart
was not fully completed.
The Comms&ioners Maj. Alien, on the psrt of
Georgia, and Col. Whitner, iu behalf of Florida,
were very fa- from agreeing as to the dividing
lino of the two States. Maj. Alien thought its
Eastern torninua should to farther South, aud
Col. Whitner, perhaps, considerably North of that
hitherto reccgniseti in the maps. The matter, it is
hoped, will ae soon definitely settled by the Su
preme Court of the United States.
Whatever Day Lava been tbe original rights of
tho parties, to think the interests of the people
along the iinc require that existing relations
tsborld be m little disturbed as possible. With
them, believe, there is very little dispute as to
boundary. Thiy have made their settlements with
inference to tne line laid down upon tho maps.—
Tne Oatablifchtnent of another at this lute day,
considerably north or south of it, would causc no
little dissatisfaction to those effected by it, dis
turbing, as it would, the titles Vo their lands, their
political relations, and many existing associations.
Besidos, in this country nothing is moro abhor
rent to our feelings than the violent transfer of
free men and women from one so Foreign to anoth
er, whether by tho absolute will of king or oourt.
While, therefore, it is important tho question at
issue should be definitely settled in accordance
with the feelings cf the people along tho line; than
in accordance with the original right of the litiga
ting States.— tSavh. Courier.
Dreadful Condition o\ the Tubes at Balaxla
va.—A foreign writer gives the following picturo
of the suffering and destitution among tho Turks
in th« town of Balakla*« •
As to the town itself, werds cannot doscribe the
filth, its horrors, its hospitals, its burials, its doad
and dying Turks, its crowded lanes its noisome
sheds, its beastly put Ileus, or its decay. All tho
pictures ever drawn of p»ngue and pestilence, from
the work of tbe inspired writer who chronicled the
Boccaccio
ual “bits ’ of disaso* and death which any one may
see in half a dozen places daring half an hoar’s
walk in Balaklavu. Jn spite of Ell oar efforts, the
dying Tnrka havo mad. of ovory lane and street a
clcam, and the forms of human Buffering which
meet the eye at every turn, aud once were wont to
shook us, have now made callous, and have ceased
even to attract passing attention, liaise up tbe
piece of matting or coarse rug which hangs across
the doorway of some miserable house, from within
which you hear w»iliogß and criOE of pain and
prayers to the Prophet, and you will see iu one
spot and in one instant a mass of accumulated woes
that will serve you with nightmares for a lifetime.
Tbe dead, laid out as they died, are lying aide by
side with the living, and the latter presents a spec
tacle beyond all imagination. The commonest ne
cessaries of a hospital aro wanting; there is not
the least attention paid to decency or cleanliness—
tho stench is appalling—the foetid air can barely
struggle out to taint the atmosphere, save through
the chinks in the walls and roofs, and, for alll can
observe, those men die without the least efforts bo
ing made to save them. There ' hoy lie jus: as they
wore let gently down on tho ground by the poor
fellows, liioir comrades, who brought them on their
backs from the camp with the greatest tenderness,
but who are not alloyed to remain with them. Tho
sick nppear to be tended by the sick, and the dying
by the dying.
Indiana F*ee Banks.— The State Auditor of In
diana, Mr. Dann, in his amiual report, which wo
filed in the Indianapolis papers, recommends
several changos in tho tree banking aw of th« State.
He says all banks established under it should
be compelled tc have good an d legitimate banking
houses, which shoo’d bo kept open five hours each
day forthe transaction of business; that these houses
should be located ia toe.ns of cot less than two
thousand inhabitants; aud no bank sbou’d be al
lowed so suspend specie payments: that the seoarl •
tics ought to be more ample ; and that an agency
to be established at Indianapolia, where all hints
rhould make arrangements to have their issue
redeemed in a similar manner to that now in
operation in Boston and New York. In regard to
the circulation at the present banks, he says:
“Tho circulation or issues of the binks organized
under the security system of onr gar.»rai banking
law, was, on the first ot May iast, near $0,000,000,
since widen period, and np to too 16th of Decem
ber, there has been cancelled or destroyed cf said
amount near tbe sum of $2,654,279 —.has reducing
to le-r $5,000,000, at that day, since which timetho
work of redemption end cancellation is still in rapid
end extensive progress giving almost positive as
surance that full five sevenths of the whole amount
ever issued will be retired before the Ist May
next, which will leave but about $2,000,000,iu
circulation or existence at that time; provided th«
same unfavorable course is pursued by tho public
in demanding coin for every bill which falls into
their hands.”
From the closing romarka of tbe report we pre
sume it is the intention of the party in power not
to renow tho ohsrter of the State Bank of Indiana,
which will now soon expire.—JViwA. Ban.

Brevard, the autnor of the Mecklenburg (North
Carolina) Declaration of Independence. Ho was
one of a large family of brothers, all of whom did

burnt by tho ruffian soid.ery of Lord Cornwaliis,
in their march thiough Mecklenburg Co.nty, who
gave as a reason to Mrs. Brevard “ that her cons

then in tho rebel army.”
The present Comptroller of Florida is tho aon

Kaisikg thk Wind.—Tfce financial operation,
called in the vernacular “raising the wind,” was
cleverly executed by a stranger in a houso on King
Btreet, last Monday. With much plausibility and
address, he selected a bill of goods amounting to
some fifty dollars, and gave the direction to which
he requested they should be sent, via the Eambnrg
road. He offered in payment a check for one hun
dred dollars, apparently drawn by a weli known
citizen on one or our new banks, and received the
change —being anxionß to leave the city immedi
ately. The check, cn presentation, was met by
thechilling negative, “nofunds on aoooant here,”
and on inquiry it was found thet the document
had been mar.nSsctured “outef whole sloth”—was
a forged check.
Such things need a little looking after, and wc
trust ali concerned will keep wide awake.— Chat.

From Kl Faso— Mail Train Attacked by Indians

You are aware that Capt. Skiltmau and myself,

the top of tho hid, and a)! hands poured in their
shot upon us in the moot impolite manner. While
,o wore gathering and fastening our mules, Dr.
Giddings - paity oame up and din likewise, report
ing that tho savages had also fired on them in pass
ing, killing a muio and wounding another. Their
arrival increased our numberto fifteen men. Eve
rybebv having solicited Capt. tikjlmt.il to take
command of both trains during the engagement,
he did so, s-d made his arrangements with his
uvual valor and discretion, two qualities which ho
ie nnivoreally acknowledged to possess in the moat
ouiutiU degree, and which are rarely found so hap
pily combined. Finding hast wo were rather too
iioar tho Indians, they having every advantago of
position, \ra lisineused up and wilLdiew to 'he
southward of the road, to sooure an cp: clear
space. As soon as the Indians discovered onr in
tention, .hoy set fire to the grass on cur north, cat
and west; but knowing that cur only hopo was in
getting out of reach of their shots from tho hill,
we pushed on about 600 yards,and then Mt lire to
tho grass before us, to uako a clear piece to drive
upon.
By this time tho Indians were over forty in
number, meat of them mounted on good horse?,
and mere than half of them armed with rifics arid
Mississippi yagers. We again unharnessed, and
phiood tho mutes as much as possible between the
i si riages, the savages (shooting at us ail the time,
hut keeping at the respectful distance of five or
six hundred yards, having bean coll\mo I J, by
tikillmsu’a long shots, that “distance londo en
chantment.”
Skillroan had beforo killed or wounded at least
one ts tho assailants, end in our second encamp
ment he fired some tun or twelve shots with nta
“Sharp s Rifle," only Ibrooof which shots took
effect. These three wounded two Indians and a
horse. Wo cannot bo certain whether any of the
Indiana were killed, but suppose that one or more
of them must heve died, as the crowd concentrated
together about sunset, and withdrew to a greater
distance, still, however, keeping oti the road we
were to travel. Wo expiated ro be kil ed “any
how," but decided to attempt to oontiune our
journey, and el..rt;d o;., every man ou foot, with
gun in hand, foaling certain that we should bo
again attacked aur.b g tho night; in which, how
ever, we wore vorv agrecub’y disappointed, aa wo
saw nothing mere of tho red men.
During thu first attscir, Skditnan’s best mule
was shot, whiie I was loading him towards tho
carriage, ana Dr. Giddings ulso tad two moles
killed and two wounded. Several of us were
struok by spent balls, bat all wore fortunate
enough to escape without serious injury. Aud
hare let mossy that our dsliverauco is to b.et
tribuled entirely to tho “Sharp’s Ktfia” in the
hands cf Capt. bkillman. Everybody knows that
those Indians are very cautions about exposing the
lives of any of Iheir "number; anil alter discover
ing that Skiiiman’s Bhotß could injure them at six
or seven hundred yards, they kept tberuaolvss
carefully oat of roach of our ordinary guns, and
too far off for thoir own shots to bo effective.
Michigan—The Wild Cats.—The system of
what is usually denominated “wild cat banking,”
seems to be losing caet-e among tho people of
Michigan, by whom it has boon obiofiy fostered
and encouraged for a scries of years, but who
have of late been themselves stung by this finan
cial serpent which has been the cause of so much
anxiety and loss to their neighbors in other States.
Byway of somowhat ameliorating tho evil. the
Governor in his recent message to the Legislature,
i ocominouds e. prohibition ot the issuing or circu
lation of all batik bills under the denomination of
five dollars. The Governor also, seems to be sat
isfied that tho prohibitory liquor law oannot be
made to operate satisfactorily, and therefore pro
poses that it shall be altered to a mere license eys

A. very important bill hao been introduced into
the Legislature of New York, by Mr. Putnam, and,
i ..’:dng from the reception s.' van it, it will be

pastors or other persons connected with any re»i

on respecting iho property cf the congregation,
icr. Putnam’s bill ovidt* that Church propo! ty
shall be vested only in the religious assertion,
which in turn, must bo incorpora'cd, in order to
enable it to nold it. If passed at the present,, the
measure w ill perhaps, create n creator amount ot
turmoil than anything elso that lias treaspired in
tha’ State for a number of yeum, not even excep
ting tho canal enlargement bill, which produoed
the re»igcaticn of thoao members ol tho Logisla
ture who were in the minority, a re-election, an
extra session, a lengthy litigation in the courts,
and a waste of upwards of a million dollars—the
whole winning up wi'.h the declaration, by a Court
O" Appeals, that the law was unconstitutional.
In regard to tho conviction of George X V, Green
in Chicago, of the murder of his wifo, tho Chicago
Democrat says :
From the report in another column, will bo seen
th. I tho Jury in this case have returned a verdict
of guilty. Whatev .r may have been tho opinion of

Oar Staple Import.
A correspondent has supplied the Albany
Evening Journal with a mass of information re
s ecting what tho Journal q-uintly but vory ap
propriately calls “our staple import’—to wit the
bono-r, blood and sinews of men, women and
children from the shores of Europe. The infor
mation thus supplied is derivod from authentic and
official sources, having been, in fact, obtained at
tiio census office, whore it accumulated during the
taking of tho census. According to these figures the
Irish immigration is still the largest and that from
other countries ranges numerically in tho follow
ing order, after that from Iroland: Germany,
England, Sooiiand, Franca, tho Csnu las, Switzer
land, Prussia, Holhnd, Norway, tho West Indies,
Wales, Spain, Italy, Portupai, Austria, Russia,
China, Jfcc. The whole number of immigrants in
the Union is 2,244,692. Tho largest .lumber that
ever arrived in one year was in 1652—372,725.
Tho largest from any ona country in that year was
from irciand, 157,648. Tho smallost number from
any one country was from Turkey, which soht us
but throe Turks during tho year. Tho Journal’s
correspondent thus desoribsa tho career of the
principal immigrants after they had landed upon
oar shores.
“Tho Irish settle in the commercial towns, and
along the great thoroughfares, Chiefly on the At
lantio coast, in New England and ’ tho middlo
states. They becotuo fsri ierv, farm hands, iahor
_iirs on railways, streets, canals, lelograptis, brick

England and Now York, though scattered wicc’y
through all the Northern States. They are mer

principally, and Jmvoalaiger portion of c! vymou

begin at. Tito Swedes and Ifcrwegiansare mairiiy
agricultural in thoir persuite. The SwFs become
merchants, wutobmiikors,. jewellers, or furmore on
pasture lands. The others are very few in mun
bars."
The to'a! immigration iacroases a few thousands
every year. Tiio iir v aigration f'ronllreland in par
tloular, however is decro-.isiug. It rocobed its
e'imax in iSuO, when 1171033 Irish were imported
intothe United Stales, th: ongh .tho port of N. York
aiono. The same ren.ark applies to '.lie Protestant
red Eomsuist iramigraiica respectively. Tho for
mer is increasing; the "itter is diminishing, nod
wove the iaimigiation from Ireland to
ued, tho number of Protestant immigrants now
yearly arriving would largely exceed that of the
adherents of ton liqmish ehurcb. Oi fLe various

.Germans are (principr.tly) Lutherans and Catho

Presbyterians; tiio Frosoh and Canadians, divided
lietweon Protestant snd Cathi 'icJ; t£b- Ewsdes,
Norwegians, Prussians, Swirs ar.d Dutoh, Luther
aua or Oalvinists. Os the rvtcatious of
the 2,214,602 immigi-ents already mentioned, 62,-
6?S are farmers, 82,671 laborers,'24)sl4 mechanics,
11,557 merchants, and more than 90,000 household
domestics.
How boforo uttorir.g wholostlt condemnation of
tho “influx of foreignura to o.ir shores,” it might
bo woll to consider awhile the above array of faots.
Bat for thin largo importation of foreigners, hew
con'd our railroads have b.-en built, our vast pri
vato city improvements have boon made, or onr 1
public works have bean constructed. Supposing
commerce hud soft'a rod no hii.tur',.i co whe.o
houid wt bo if tho eighty two thousand laborers,
tho twenty-four thousand mechanics, tho sixty
four thousand formers (probably tho larger porti'-n
of thorn farm laborers) and the u pward of ninety
thousand household domestics worn removed from
onr mid;,'.? Why, the contractor could not i.ffrrd
to build a tram road at prices which would tempt
any one to employ him on such a work. The
farmer could not afford to build a fence or dig a
trench; while, alas! for our wives and daughters,
(and ourscivos by consequence,) the menial sir
vices of the household would huso to bo performed
by their delicate hands, all women’s rights to the
contrary notwithstanding, for tho men’s whole
time wpnld be required by the increased labor
thrown* upon them. Any soar that the native
population will at any time bo crowded out, is
E roved to be groundless by the tac t that the native
irtha in the Union annually number 6;8,917, or
about double the narnbor of immigrants yearly
imported to onr shores.
The aamo writer mentions that of tho two mil
lions, two hundred and forty four thousand immi
grants now in the Union, the slave Stales oontsiu

fraction of IjOSOjOOO. Tins uuquwuiuuubiy ib ono
ot tho secrets ot the more rapid growth and pros

increasing political power as opponents of slavery,
