1 Foreigx Ixflle.ce. Freign influence is
the bane of a Republic, and deserves well the
jealoiis and w.itehl'ul ee of all who wonld pre
serve and perpetuate the Republican Institu
tions of this country. A Foreign Priesthood,
educated under an anti-republican system of
government, and having symp ithies whoily
adverse to our institutions, are justly'" loi-ked
upon with suspicion, and deserving of no great
favor with the American people. The fact that
mofst ol the Catholic Priests are foreigners,
and not Americans, has done more to bring o-
d.uni upon that denomination, and render it
oonoxious to the jireat uodv:ofthe people.
than all other causes combined. - Reared and
ediictited in a foreign land and under foreign
institutions, thev come here with their peeu-
iar views and leelings, ali in antagonism with
those of our own people, and, instead of tn-
leavoiii:g to conform to the litter, and to
Americanize themselves, they set about at
one; to mould their floe in conformity with
their own foreign notions, feelings and habits.
Thus tney get themselves into iliflieulty. and
give just cause to be regarded lWith a jealous
eye, and looked upon as unsafe guardians of
otir free institutions.
We have been led to these remarks by the
recent publication of a letter,in the New York
FreemarSs .Jaarnil, .from the Pope of Rome,
.id tressed to Arch-Bishop Hughes, and the
Bishops of New York State, recommending
t;.e Catholics in this country to establish a
College in Rome, for the purpose of educating
Priests, lor the Roman- C itholic '-Church in
Americi. This letter discloses the true de
sign ol th -Roman lli-rarcliv. J n stead f seokf
ing to Am?ric inize the Rom in Church iri this
country, and popularizing it with the' people,
by supplying it uith an American Priesthood,
reared and educated in our own land, and im
bued with the Republic, in spirit of our free in-
atttutions. it seeks to continue and perpetuate
a r ojeign FrR-stromd; who have no feeling nor
sympathy ih common with Republic irism. It
is a bold scheme, and will excite still mure
apprehension in the min is of the Ameriein
people as to the aims and purposes of the Ho
rn in power. It is a scheme, if tarries! out,
which is admirably calculated to .strengthen
the Papal Pow.r, by having all its Priest ho.tl
instructed under the immediate superviMon
and nrluence of the Roman Pontiff; but, tho
it be thus calculated, it is a scheme w hie: will
prove miacheyious to tha church m this coun
try. This letter, published at a time when
public sentiment is alive to the evils of a reli
gious denomination liyl ling allegiance to a
foreign power, will be regarded .ill over the
country as a proof strong as holy writ of the
objects and purposes ascribed to the Papa!
Power, and thus its appearance just now will
but add fuel to the excitement already exist
ing, and increase the determination so uiiiuis
takeably manifested . to resist its aggressive
p. licy. D t 'v xVeit-s.

justice of ti-f American party. In iici rid. he
said, he had struggled for the right ol Irishmen
to govern tlieir own country. It was for this
that O'Brien and'Mitchel and all the other
Irish patriots had contended ; and he should
feel himself an ingrate and a hypocrite if ho
should deny in America wh.it he had atruggled
for in Irelmd th right of the native the sons
of eveiy country to rule their own land. "Ire
1 ind for the Irish" had been the motto of all
the Irish patriots at home -''America for the
Americans' ought to be their motto here.
Sexdixo Pacpers West. The Directors cf

the Mayor of New York, complained tiiat tho
authorities of that city seut from "hree to 12
paupers weekly to Cincinnati, who liecanie a

these paupers were forwarded directly from
Europe, and gives, in proof, the citseofthe
Hamburgh ship Deu.tschiaiid, . 'which brought
four criminals from the Duchy of Mecklenberg,
who were provided with through tickets from
New York to Milwaukee, which had been pur
chased at Hamburg at the expense of tfie au
thorities of Gust row, where the men had leen
imprisoned. Such proceedings on the part of
the Germanic States sdiould call forth a deci
ded remonstrance from our Government.

The American Councils swarm with new mem

all parts of the state we receive the most gra
tifying assurances ; and no party "ever hail a
prospect like that which will attend the ad
vent of the American pirty to power. All
this indicates the confidence felt that the
Americans w ill make a wise use of the power
co iferied upon them, and meet their respon
sibilities in a manner that will best promote
tiie general welfare.
