Our vast increase is not to be mainly
attributed to the accretion of foreign pop
ulation. The extent of the foreign ele
ment is greatly overrated. Of our entire
population of 23,347,684, only 2,210,028
were born in foreign countries. Unless
official figures lie, it can not be denied that
our increase is to be ascribed chiefly to the
productive and expansive energies of the
Anglo-Saxon stock of this continent
precisely the same sgency that impelled us
so rapidly forward in our earlier history,
when immigration was comparatively un
known. From 1812 to 1821, according to
official documents printed by the House of
Commons, the entire emigration from the
United Kingdom to this country was only
68,088, and from other parts of Europe it
was comparatively insignificant ; and jet
onr population in that period augmented
two millions, or thirty-three and a third
per rnz. It is not without Kood rronads

Now here was an opportunity of retriev
