Judging froia recent political movements,
there seems to be a growing disposition in
the opponents of the Pierce aduinistratiou to
adjust matters and concentrate their forces, in
the free States at least. In his recent annual
message, the Fre.sident lias taken high pro
blavery ground, attempts to justify the repeal
of the prohibitory clause of the Missouri com
promise and the passage of the Kansas-Nebras-ba
bill, declaring the measure to have been
'attacked rith violence, cn the false or delu
tiva pretext, that it constituted a breach of
faith," and is basely servile to the South and
abusive of the North. TLii conduct on the
part of the President has done mnch to facili
tate a union against him, and it is to be hoped
that every cflort will be made to cflect it fully,
ia order that the Administration party may be
successfully resisted in the approaching Pres
idential contest.
Tub Amkcicas State Coixcil of Ohio clo
sed its session at Columbus on the 1th. Al
though no further declaration of its views up
on the subject cf slavery wcro deemed proper,
it heartily endorsed Mr. Spooner?s olHcial con
duct, and chose him, in connection with Lieut.
Gov. Ford, as delegates at large from the Stato
to the National American Convention, which
is to meet at Philadelphia on the 22d Februa
ry. Lewis D. Campbell and Samuel Galloway
were appointed alternate delegates. As the
Cincinnati Gazette says, there is little that sa
vors of pro-slavery 'nationality' in that dele
gation, and the council declared that the del
egates were expected to opiose the 'Twelfth
Section' of the lata Philadelphia platform.
New Tonic Political Movements. All ef
forts to effect a union between the Hards and
Softs in New York having failed, the latter
have held another meeting of their State Con
vention, adopted pro-slavery resolutions, and
elected a full State delegation to the National
Convention. As the Uanls have already done
likewise, the State will have two rival delega
tions, contesting the honor of representing it.
John Van Burcn has been thrown overboard,
and his name is not among the Soft delegates.
Before tho late State election, this same con
vention adopted anti-Nebraska and anti-Slavery
resolutions to enable them to carry the
frccsoil districts of the State, but now, that
the election is over, clumolion-liko, they
change their color, and pro-slavery resolves
are adopted with a view to securing the ad
mission of their delegates to the National con
vention. Truly, '-consistency, thou art a jew
el !"
From Washington the same old song comes
-"no Speaker elected yet." On last Friday,
Mr. Mace, addressing himself to the statesmen,
not the men; partisans of the House, offered, in
a spirit of compromise, a resolution declaring
Mr. Banks, Speaker, Y7m. Culiom, (American,)
Clerk, A. J. Glosbrenncr, Scrgcant-at-Arms,
John M. Johnson, Postmaster, and C. W. Mc
Kncw, Doorkeeper, the last three being the
Democratic caucus nominees, but the resolu
tion was tabled by a vote of 111 to 00. A
number ol caucuses have lately been held fcy
the friends of Mr. Banks, in which tho propri
ety of withdrawing that gentleman and uuiting
upon a new man was discussed, .but could not
Lc fully determined upon.
Tue Election of Ex-Gov. Bioi-na to the
U. S. Senate was generally regarded as a tri
umph of Pierce over Buchanan. The renn
sylcanian, however, denies authoritatively that
it is so, and says "Senator Biglcr has been,
and is now, the devoted and active friend of
Mr. Buchanan, and wiil sustain liini for the
,Fiesidency." Be this at it may, tho immedi
ate friends of tho latter, wc are disposed to
think, regarded it dillerently, and were none
too highly pleased with the selection. But, if
the new Senator will go for Buchanan, we sup
pose fill will b. right !
"Where is tue Fault ? One of our subscri
bers who lifts his paper at the New "Washing
ton post Pace, complained to us, a few days
fcince, that if he does not call immediately af
. tcr the arrival of tho mail, he not unfrequcnlly
linds his paper taken from the office without
Lis knowledge or consent. How is this ?
Can any one tell ?
The Americans, and Republicans of the Fa.
Legislature, at their recent caucus lor nomi
nating a candidate for U. S. Senator, passed a
resolution urging nil the opponents of the pres
ent -National Administration in the lower
liocse ot Congress, to aid in the election of
Mr. Banks as Speaker of that body. . ..

rOHSIGN ENIGSATION TO THIS C07JNIEY.
The foreign emigration to this country, says
tin; Lancaster Whig, lias urincinallv conic
from Ireland and German-. During thght J
years extending from 1817 to 1S-31, inclusive,
the whole number of foreign immigrants who
arrived at New York was 1,916,308, of whom
1,552,1)06, or five-sixths, were German and
Irish, the former numbering C91,517, and the
latter S-57,480. This t xcess of Irish arose
probably from the Irish famine of IE 4'J, which
caused a general rush for America. Previous
to that period the German immigrants exceed
ed the Irish, and as late as the year 1847, the
Germans numbered 53,180, and the Irish 52,
91C. But the next year the great Irish emi
gration commenced, and continued to increase
until 1S51, when it rose to a total immi
gration of 1G2.2-3G Irish to New York alone for
that one season. ' The next year, IS 32, it fell
to 118,131, when it was exceeded by the Ger
man total of 118,611, followed by a German
excess of 6,480 in 1853, and of 04,684 in 1854.
Tho German immigration appears to have
reached its highest point in the last year, when
its total of 176,086 exceeded even the great
Irish total of 1831, to the amount of 14,730.
In the year 1833 all kinds of immigration de
clined very greatly, but chiefly the Irish and
German, the total arrivals of Germans at New
York having been 51,087 and of Irish 42,032.
From the figures we have already given, It
Appears that the falling off in the Irish emigra
tion commenced in 1852,bcforc the appearance
of Know-Nothingism. In that year the Irish
emigration to N. Y. fell off 41,125, and it has
steadily declined ever since. The condition
of Ireland has vastly improved since the fam
ine and the emigration consequent upon it.
Labor is now in great demand there, and the
poor have no longer the same temptation to
leave their native land as they once had. In
Germany some of the leading governments
have thrown such obstacles in the way of emi
gration as to prevent the former rush. Such
is the case in Prussia, for example. The ad
vices from America have also been very dis
couraging, as the later emigrants have experi
enced more suffering than those formerly,
on account of the great numbers that were
here already.
But tho immigration from Great Britain has
not fallen off in the same ratio as the German
and Irish- During tho year 1855, 18,210 Eng
lish, Welsk and Scotch arrived at New York.
The number of these immigrants arriving at
other ports is pretty well maintained. There
is a probability that, from England especially,
there may be within the next ten years an aug
mentation of the stream. The strike? in tho
manufacturing districts, so frequently occur
ring, generally result in a large contribution of
emigrants to the great republic of the West.
The effect and influence of thi3 great flood ol
immigrants to this country, may be seen in
the following facts in relation to the State of
New York :
This State, according to the census of last
year, h is 651,822 voters, of whom 516.715 arc
native, and 135,077 naturalized. The latter
however does not furnish an indication of the
total alien population, which is 632,753. The
actual vote polled at the State elections is
generally from 190,000 to 150,000 short of tho
whole number of voters. The basis of repre
sentation in the Legislature is the entire na
tive and naturalized population, exclusive of
aliens and colored persons not taxed. Under
it the city of New York will have but seven
teen members in the lower house. For, al
though the whole population is 629,810, the
aliens number 232,078, and the persons of col
or not taxed 10,S07, thus leaving a taxed and
representative population of 386,323. Tho
native voters in the city number 46,113, and
the naturalized voters 42,702. Here it is seen
that while the native population own the grea
ter portion ot the property of the city, yet
they are very nearly balanced by the foreign
population who vote not only on property
qualification or descent, but upon their certifi
cate of naturalization. It is therefore no won
der that New York is tax-ridden beyond all
precedent, and cursed with corrupt, profligate
and abandoned rulers. The weight of this
foreign vote can be purchased and used by
unscrupulous and designing demagogues to
place themselves in jowcr or to carry out their
schemes of speculation, plunder and self ag
grandizement. -
These facts should put the American people
on their guard, against tho constantly en
croaching foreign power, and induce them to
unite Crrnly and persevere rcslutely in
checking the foreign Catholic power that oth
erwise will gradually subjugate the liberties
of this conntrv.

ISTIES FK0II HON. D. BAXCLAY.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.
JioCSK Or llErR;:SETATIVBS, )
WisiiiXGiu.N, Jan. 8, 1S55. J
D. N. White, Esq. Sir : My intention has,
through the kindness of a friend, just been
called to an editorial in the Gazette of 31st
ult., in which it is thought proper to hold me
up to public odium. I have in the estima
tion of the Editor, not only rendered myself
"notorious" but "infamous." The thought
that the judgment, so hastily, if not rashly,
passed is not final or conclusive, affords a
slight degree of consolation.
The liberty of the press is the palladium of
all wc hold dear as American citizens ; and
when exercised for the public good, should be
allowed tho utmost latitude. At the same
time those who control it should neither per
vert it to the purposes of mere defamation,
nor ruthlessly assail the character or motives
of the humblest citizen.
-1 do not know that you would intentionally
do either. I cherish the hope that you have
some appreciation of that moral precept which
says, "Thon shalt not bear false tcitness against
thy neighbor." I would certainly much rather
entertain the belief that your article origina
ted from misinformation than from improper
motives. Adopting this, the more charitable
view of the subject, as I do, it is to be hoped,
it will not bo considered as an unreasonable
request, that the antidote may bo administered
through the same medium and have a circula
tion co-extensive with that of the poison.
In my canvass I gave no pledges publicly or
privately Nebraska or anti-Nebraska. Had
any ' such been asked they would have met
with a prompt refusal. My opposition to tho
legislation of tho last session of Congress
touching the Kansas-Nebmska-Act, was eve
ry whole frankly avowed to the friends of that
legislation as well us to its opponents.
While I did this, there was in my district as
little doubt of my position on the other question
the restoration of tho Missouri Compromise.
I was then, as I am now unequivocally oppos
ed to its restoration. I do not design now
to vindicate that position simply to state it.
Was it expected that I should abandon my
sincere convictions of the truth of the irrinci
ples of that party which has uniformly had my
cordial support; and which in their applica
tion, have been productive of blessings so in
estimable, to not only our own land, but to
humanity itself? If so, should tho responsi
bility be laid at my door, for so violent a pre
sumption ? Am I justly chargable with the
folly of them who entertained it ? The follow
extract from . the Clearfield Jlcfubiican, will
perhaps settle the matter f
"Hox. Datid Bauclay. This gentleman

On the li-td i.. -i-f e-. : -
fell f.om Mr. Campt)i42,2huylkill, he felt
it to bo his duty to doCno-Tils position, and
which he did in the following highly satisfac
tory manner. ...
We might here state fcr the satisfaction of
Mr. Campbell, that Mr. B.'s representations of
the canvass in which he was elected, are cor
rect. The writer of this was a member of the
Convention by which Mr. Barclay was nomina
ted as the Democratic candidate, and he fee's
confident that no man could have been nomi
nated by that body who was disposed either
to resist the Kansas and Nebraska bill, or to
favor the restoration of the Missouri compro
mise; nor could such a candidate have been
elected in this district."
I will only remark in addition to what has
already been said, that if you should have a
filo of the "Kaftsuian," and which you quote
with apparent confidence, by taking the troub
le to turn to the number published the tiird
week in October, 1831, you will readily dis
cover what the editor at that time thought of
my anti-Nebraska sentiments. It may per
haps, weaken your faith in the more recent
statements of that journal.
I will also beg leave to remark that iiOapcr
in my district advocated my election on the
ground oVrny being favor alii to the re-establish-rnfiit
of the Missouri Compromise, so far 33 my
knowledge extends. Your3, &c,
David Barclay.
"This is mere evasion. It has never been
charged in this paper, or any other, that Mr.
Barclay ever pledged himself to votejfor a res
toration of the Missouri Compromise. It is a
matter of little consequence, in the present
state of the controversy, whether he is bound
by such a pledge or not. The allegation
against him, is, that he was elect j 1 as aa anti
Nebraska man, under a confidence induced by
himself that, he was hostile to the policy of
the Nebraska bill, and that he is now getting
that confidence at naught. Why does he not
meet this allegation manfully ? The proof
that he made anti-Nebraska professions, and
gave at least verbal anti-Nebraska pledges has
been proven by us, and is clear and conviu
cing. It matters but little what some of his
anti-Nebraska constituents thought or said
against hira while he was a candidate : the fact
still remains unquestioned and unquestionable
that ho xalmed himself off on an unsuspect
ing people as ono worthy of a confidence
which he is now betraying. lie admits, in
this very letter we now publish, that he was.
in the canvass which resulted iu his election,
"opposed to the legislation of the last session
ot Congress touching the Kansas-Nebraska
act," and yet went into the democratic cau
cus, at the commencement of the present ses
sion, and voted for a resolution endorsing and
approving that very legislation ; and not only
so, but has since steadily voted for a candi
date for Speaker who was made such because
of his services iu the last Congress in procu
ring that legislation. Mr. Barclay, himself
being judge, he has abandoned, on the very
first opportunity, the position he took before
his election. To skulk from tho responsibili
ty thus voluntarily assumed, is but to add to
the disgrace of the treachery.
As to the courtesy due by tho press to such
a man, we have only to say that we have treat
ed him with all the deference duo to him.
He chose to make himself the vehicle of the
lowest slang, directed against a portion of
thoso who had put their trust in him, rs v. ell as
against the anti-Nebraska sentiment of the
country; and if he finds himself roughly han
dled in consequence, he has no right to com-
plain."
Wc are requested by Mr. Swoope, the form
er editor of this paper, to assure the editor of
the Gazette, and all others interested, that he
is prepared, at any time, to substantiate eve
ry assertion he made iu the columns of tho
Journal with reference to Mr. Barclay, by in
contcstible evidence. It 13 well understood
in this community, and is not denied oven bv
the Democratic loaders themselves, that Mr.
Barclay, during his canvass, and at the time of
his election, was a member of the American
Order, and we have been assured by thoso
who were present in the office of Mr. Swoope,
at the time, that he not only protested that he
would support the candidates and principles of
the American party, but that he was thorough
ly Anti-Nebraska, and in favor of the restora
tion of the Missouri Compromise. We havo
nothing to do with the controversy, not hav
ing resided in tho District at the time, but we
deem it nothing more than justice to those
concerned to make this statement.
Pai-ist Olthaoes in Canada. The Niagara
Mail publishes an account of a late diabolical
attempt at St. Sylvester, Lower Canada, to
throw off the railway train containing a force
of military and police sent to arrest the mur
derers of Mr. Corrigan, a respectable Protest
tan t farmer, who, while acting as Jndge at an
Agricultural Fair, had giving a decision dis
pleasing certain Irish Catholics, who waylaid,
and murdered him in the most brutal manner,
by beating and cutting him, jumping on him
until they burst his bowels out. The murder
ers, who are said to belong to a lodge of ribbon-men,
and who arc well known, have hith
erto set the law at defiance and nothing short
of an armed expedition seemed able to take
them, protected as they appear to be by many
of the inhabitants of St. Sylvester. Their last
attempt was, as we see, to destroy the railway
train. The Mail calls upon the government to
arrest the murderers at what ever trouble and
cost. Other Canadian papers are very severe
upon the government for the course pursued.
The Hamilton Banner and Toronto Globe de
nounce the authorities in no measured terms.
The Globe concludes a long article in these
pointed words : "How long are Protestants to
be killed like dogs, and the government to be
permitted to shield the murderers."
GovEExeaoF Ohio Mr. Chase was inaugu
rated Governor of Ohio on Monday. In his
inaugural -address tho slavery question is re
viewed, and the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise is urged as tho means by which
the agitation of the sul j:;ct may be quiotcd.
The Governor takes the gronnd of non-interference
with slavery in the States whore it now
exisf s, but opposition to the extension of that
institution beyond the Missouri Compromise
line. He also favors river and harbor improve
ments, and in the administration cf the n flairs
of the State cconcmy is urged ag of the first
importance. ""A modification of the tax law, so
as to allow the deduction c f debts from credits,
is recommended. The educational iutercsts of
the State, and the care of the deaf and dumb,
are recommended to the fostering care cf tho
Legislature. An increase of banking capital,
amendments to the Constitution,!! establish
ment of the single district system, and annual
sessions of the Legislature arc recommended.
