A man in%*rsia will always retna i a Persian, a man in Switzerland will in rays remain a Swiss, a man in Austria ill alwax^ remain an Austrian, but ill' foreign nationalises coming to American ‘ere intended to be Americans. Th i land is the chemical laboratory whenn 11 foreign bloods’ are to be inextricabl mixed up and race prejudices mtd race in tipathies are to perish, and this sermv is an axe by which I hope to kill them, t is not hard for me to preach such a so non, because, although my ancestors .me to this country about 280 years ago some of them came from Wales ami! some from Scotland and some from Holi i d and some from otherdaiiids, and I am a uixture of so mauy nationalities that :t ?el at homo with people from under eve • sky and have a right UrTall them bloc relations. There are madcaps and |i triotic lunatics in this country who are ev- r and anon crying out, “America for Am ricans.” Down with the Germans 1 Dt ‘u with the Irish! Down with Jews! Dn> n with the-Chinese! are in soma dire* ions the ]>opular cries, all ol which vocii (rations 1 would drown out by the full ort m of my text, while I pull out the stops nd put my foot on the pedal that will c >en the loudest pipes, and run my finger :; iver all the four banks of ivory keys, play ; ig the chant, “God bath made of one blo i 1 all uations.” There ai not five men in this audience, nor five m i in any audience to-day in America, s: ;cept it be on an Indian reservation, w i were not descended from foreigner:! if yon go far enongh back. The only It stive Americans are the Modocs, the bawbees, the Chippewas, the Cherokee i: the Chickasaws, the Serainotes anil such like. If the principle, America i: »ly for Americans, be carried out, then ou and I have no right to be here, ant' re had better charter all the steamers nd clippers and men-of-war and yachl and sloops and get out of this country quick as possible. The pilgrim fatl: rs were all immigrants, the Hugueno! all immigrants. The cradle ol almost e iry one of our families was rocked wc the bank of the Clyde, or the Rhine, or le Shannon, or the Seine, or the Tiber, Had the watchword “America for Amer ans” been an early and successful ci: where now stand our cities would hs,’ slood wigwams, and canoes instead eilf steaqiers would have tracked the Hud«.' i amt the Connecticut; and instead of e Mississippi being the main artery ol the continent, it would have been only t trough for deer and antelope and wild geo a s to drink out of. What makes th cry “America for Americans” the more bsurd and the more inlnunan is that so e in this country who themselves air; ved here in their boyhood or arrived Ih -e only one or two generations back are >iuing in the cry. Escaped from foreign if. spoti-ui themseives, they say: “Shut lit door of escape for-others.” Getting (} emselves ou our shore in a lifeboat from the shipwreck, saying: “Haul the boa) it the beach and let the rest of the pasini igers go to the bottom!” Men who han: yet on them a Hootch or German or 1 uglish or Irish brogue crying out: “Ai .erica for Americans!” What if the nil live inhabitants of Heaven.

Heaven for the Heav nians!” Of cow.i ;ie we do well not to allow foreign nati ms to make this country a convict colt y.

The North American sniffs the breese and he says to his four brothers and sisters: “Let the South American stay in South America, let the European stay in Europe, let the Asiatic stay in Asia, let the African stay In Africa; but America is for me, I think it is the parlor of the whole earth. 1 like the carpets of grass and its upholstery of the front window, namely, the American sunrise, and the upholstery of the back window, namely, the American sunset, Sow I want you ail hi stay out and keep to your places.” 1 am stire the father of the whole race would hear of it; and chastisement would come, and, whether by earthquake, or flood, or drouth, or Heaven-darkening swarms of locust and grasshopper or destroying angel of pestilence. God would rebuke onr selfishness as a nation and say to the four wiuds of Heaven: “This world is my house, and the North American is no more my child than is the South American, and the Europeau, and the Asiatic, and the African, And I built this world for ail the children, and the parlor is theirs and all is theirsi*? For, let me say, whether we will or not, the population of other lands will come here. There are harbors all the way from Baffin's bay to Galveston, and if you shut fifty gates there will be other gates unguarded. And if you forbid foreigners from coming on the steamers they will take sailing vessels. And if you forbid them coming on sailing vessels they will come in boats. And if you will not let them come in boats they will come on rafts. Anil if you will not allow wharfage to the raft they will leave it outside Bandy Hook and swim for free America, Stop them? You might as well pass a law forbidding a swarm of summer bees from lightiug on the clover top,orpass a law forbidding the tides of the Atlantic to rise when the moon puts under it silver grappling hooks, or a law that the noonday sun should not irradiate bhe atmosphere. They have come. They are coming now. They will come.' And if I had a‘ voice loud enough to be heard across the seas I would put it to the utmost tension and cry: "Let them come? You sting)', selfish, shrivelod up, blasted souls who sit before your silver dinnerplate piled up with breast of roast turkey incarnadined with cranberry, your fork full aud your mouth full, and cramming down the superabundance till your digestive organs are terrorised, let the millions of your fellow jnenhave at least the wish

mg bone.” But some of this cry, America for Americans, may arise from an honest fear lest this laud be overcrowded. Such persons had better take the Northern Pacific or Union Pacific, or Atlantic and Charlotte air line, or Texas and Santa Fe, and go a long journey and fiud oat that no more than a tenth part of this continent is fully cultivated. If a man with one hundred acres of farm land should put all his cultivation on one acre ho would be cultivating a larger ratio of his farm than our nation is now occupying of the national farm. Pour the whole human race, Europe, Asia, Africa, and all the islands of the sea, into Ameriea and there would be room to spare. All the Rocky Mountain barrennesses and all the other American deserts are to be fertilized, and as Salt Lake City and much of Utah once yielded not a blade of grass, now by artificial irrigation have become gardens, so a large part of this continent that now is too poor to grow even a mullen stalk or a Canada thistle, will,through artificial irrigation,like an Illinois prairie, wave wfth wheat,or like a Wisconsin farm rustle with corn tassels. Besides that, after perhaps a century' or two more, when this continent is quite well occupied, the tides of immigration will turn the other way. Politics and governmental affairs being corrected on the other side of the waters; Ireland, under different regulations, turned into a garden, will invite back another generation of Irishmen; aud the wide wastes of Russia, brought from nnder despotism will, with her own green fields, invite back another generation of Russians. And there will be hundreds of thousands of Americans every year settling on the other continents. And, after a number of centuries, all the earth fall and crowded, what then? Well, at that time some night a panther meteor wandering through the heavens will put its paw on our world and stop it; aud, putting its panther tooth into the neck of its miuntuin range, will shake it lifeless as the rat terrier a lrajU So I have no more fear of America being overcrowded than that the porpoises in the Atlantic ocean will become so numerous as to stop shipping. It is through mighty addition of foreign population to onr native population that I think God is going to fill this land with a race of people ninety-five per cent, sul>erior to any thing the world has ever seen. Intermarraige of families and intermarriage of nations is depressing aud crippling. Marriage outside of one's own nationality is a mighty gain. What makes the Scotch-Irish second to no pedigree for brain and stamina of character, so that blood goes right up to the Supreme Court bench and to the front rank in jurisprudence, and merchandise and art? Because nothing under Heaven can be more unlike than a Scotchman and an Irishman, and the descendants of these two conjoined nationalities, unless rum flings them, go right to the tip top in every thing. All nationalities coming to this land the Opposites will all the while l>e affianced, and French aud German will unite, and that will stop all the qnarrel between them, and one child they will call Alsace and the other Lorraine. And hot-blooded Spaniard will nnite with cool-blooded Polander and romantic Italian with matter-of-fact Norwegian, and a hmfUred and fifty years from now the race occupying this land will be ta stature,, in purity of complexion, in liquidity of eye, in gracefulness of poise, in dome-like brow, in brow, in taste, in intelligence and in morals so far ahead of any thing now known on either side of the seas that this last quarter of the nineteenth century trill seem to them like the Dark Ages. Oh. then, how they will legislate and bargain and pray and preach and govern 1 This is the land where by the mingling of races the race prejudice is to get its deathblow.

How Heaven reels about it we may conclude from the fact that Christ, the Jew, and descended from a Jewess, nevertheless provided a religion for all races, and that Paul, though a Jew, became the chief ajpostle of the Gentiles, and that recently God has allowed to burst in splendor upon the attention of the world Hirsch, the Jew, who, after giving ten million dollars to the Christian churches and hospitals, lias called a committee of nations and furnished them with forty million dollars for schools to elevate his race in France and Germany and Russia to higher intelligence, and abolish, as he says, the prejudices against their race, these fifty million dollars, not given in a last will and testament, and at a time when a man most leave hill money anyhow, but by donation at fifty-five years of age and in good health, utterly eclipsing all benevolence since the world was created. I must confess thoire was a time when I entertained race prejudice, but, thanks to God, that prejudice has gone, and if 1 sat in church and on one side of me there was a black man nisi on the other side of me was an Indian, and before me was a Chinaman, and behind me a Turk I would be as happy as 1 am now standing in the presence of this brilliant audience, and I am as happy now as I can be and live. The sooner we get this corpse of race prejudice buried, the healthier will be oar American •fcwwfcw* t*t ft

and let us digits grave clear on down,deeper and deeper, till wc got ns far down os the center of the earth and halt way to China, but no further, lest it poison those living on the other side the earth. Then into this grave let down the accursed ear-, cass of race prejudice and throw on it: all the mean things that have ever been said and written between Jew and Gentile, between Turk and Russian, between English and French, between Mongolian aud anti-Mongolian, between black aud white, and put up over that grave for tombstone some scorched and jagged chunk of seori» spit out by some volcanic eruption and chisel on it for epitaph: “Hero lies the carcass of one who cursed the world. Aged near six thousand years. Departed this life for the perdition from whence it came. No peace to its ashes!” Now, in view of this subject, i have two point-blank words to otter, one suggesting what foreigners ought to do for us, and the other what we Wught to do for foreigners. First, to foreigners: Lay aside all apologetic air and realise you have as much right as any man who was not only himself born here, but his father and his grandfather andgreat-gAindfather before him. Are you au Englishman? Though during the revolutionary war your fathers treated our fathers roughly, Euglaud has more than atoned for that by giving to this country at least two denominations of Christians, the Church of England aud the Methodist Church. Witness the maguificent liturgy of the one aud the Wesleyan hullelujahs of the other. Aud who shall ever pay England for what Shakespeare and John Milton and Wadsworth aud a thousand others have done for America? Are you a Scotchman? Thanks for John Knox’s Presbyterianism; the balance wheel of all other denominations. Aud how shall Americans ever pay your native land for what Thomas Chalmers and McIntosh and Robert Bums aud Christopher North and Robert MeCheyne and Candlish aud Guthrie have done for Americans? Are you a Frenchman? We can not forget your Lafayette, who, in the most desperate time of our American revolution, New York surrendered and our armies Hying in retreat^espoused oar cause, nad at Brandywine aud Monmouth, aud Yorktowu put all Aluerica under eternal obligation. And we cau not forget the coming to the rescue of our fathers j Rochamheau and his French fleet with six thousand armed men. Are you a German? We have not forgotteu the eleven wounds through which your Baron Ue Kalb poured out his life Wood at the head of the Maryland aud Delaware troops in the disastrous hnttie—■ it Camden, and

after we have named inWstreets and our cities and counties after him we have not paid a tithe of what we owe Germany for his valor and self-sacrifice. And what about Martin Lather, the giaut German who made way for religious liberty for all lands and ages? Are yon Polnnrter? How can we forget your brilliant Count Pulaski, whose bones were laid in Savannah river after a mortal wound gotten while in the stirrups of one of the fiercest cavah y charges of the American revolution? But with no time to particularize, I say:, “AU hail to the men and women of other lands who come here with honest purpose!” Renounce all obligation to foreign despots. Take the oath of American allegiance. Get out your naturalization papers. Don’t talk against our institutions, for the fact that you came here aud stay shows that you like ours better than any other. If yon don’t like them there are steamers going out of our ports almost every day, and the fare is cheap, and, lest you should be detained for parting civilities, I bid you good-bye now. Bjut if you like it here, then I charge you, at the bal-lot-box, lit legislative hall, in churches and everywhere be out-and-out Americans. Do not try to establish here the loose foreign Sabbaths or transcendentalism spun into a religion of mash and moonshine, or foreign libertinism or that condensation of all thievery, scoundrelism. lust, murder and perdition, which in Russia is called Nihilism, and in Prance called Communism, and in America' called Anarchism. Unite with us in making by the grace of God the fifteen million square miles of America on both sides the Isthmus of Panama the paradise of virtue aud religion. My other word suggests what Americans ought to do for foreigners. By all possible means explain to them our institutions, Coming here, the vast majority of them know about as much concerning Republican or Democratic form of government as you in the United States know about politics in Denmark,or France, or Italy, or Switzerland^ namely, nothing. Explain to them that liberty in this country means liberty to do right, but not liberty to«do wrong. Never in their presence say any thing against their native laud, for, no matter how much they may have been oppressed there, in that native ' land there are sacred places, cabins ot mansions, around whose doors they played, and perhaps somewhere there is a grave into which they would like, when life’s toils are over, to be let down, for it is mother’s grave, and it would be like going again into the loving arms that first held them and agaiust the bosom that first pillowed them. My! my! how low down a human must have descended to have no regard for the place where his cradle was rocked. Don’t mock their brogue or their stumbling attempts at the hardest of all languages to learu, namely, the English language. I warrant that they speak English as well as yon could talk Scandinavian.

IVCJ'HWJ no vui^uou WM uiai ui* stead ot being an element of weakness, the foreign people, thoroughly evangelized, will be onr mightiest defense against all the world. The Congress of the United States recently ordered built new forte all up and down oar American coasts, and a new navy is alxmt to be projected. But let me say that $300,000,000 expended in coast defense will not be so mighty as a vast foreign imputation living in America. With hundreds of thon-^ sands of Germans in New York. Germany would as soon think of bombshelling Berlin as attacking us. With hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen in New York, France would as soon think of firing on Faris. With hundreds of thousands of Englishmen in New York, England would as soon think of destroying London. The mightiest defense against European nations is a wall of Europeans reaching up and down the American Continent—a wall of heads and hearts consecrated to free government A bulwark of foreign humanity heaved up all along our shores, reinforced by the Atlantic Ocean armed as it is with tempests and Caribbean whirlwinds and giant billows ready to fling mountains from their catapault, we need as a nation fear no one in the universe but God, and if found in his service we need not fear him. As six hundred million people will 7et sit down at our National table, let God preside. To him be dedicated the metal of our mines, the sheaves of our harvest-fields, the fruits of our orchards, the fabrics of our manufactories, the telescopes of our observatories, the volumes of our libraries, the songs of cur churches, the affections of our hearts, and all our lakes become baptismal fonts and all onr mountains altars of praise and all our valleys amphitheaters of worship; and onr country, having become fifty nations consolidated in one, may its every heart- throb be a pulsation of gratitude to him who made “of one blood all nations” and ransomed that blood by the payment of the last drop of
