There is little doubt that Repub licanism b making enormous progress among ths working classes of England. But while the dregs ,of tho party re main at lome a constant menace and poison to peace and good government, we get the best of them in America. Few people are aware of the enormous proportion of English people who annually immigrate 'We. During the quarter ending/the 30th of last June, 83,394 persons left the Bmisli Islands for the United States, and ?,7,b7*(j of these wore Erglish, 8515 Heotch, and the rest Iriaa. A despatch of this morning informs us, from , Liverpool, that 18,000 persons emigrateJ to A merica during the last month.

Every young man who is forced out of England by the con sequences of bad government or unjust laws/assumes in the act a share in the Republican propaganda at home.
