| Abstract | "Dahin [ins Ohiothal] nun stroemt in verschiedenen Verzweigungen die taegliche Emigration aus Europa und den atlantischen Provinzen selbst; hier, so wie im Thale des Missouri, ist der Schauplatz des thaetigsten Wirkens ujnd Aufluehens unserer heil. Religion: denn der Ohio, glieich einem maechtigen Schutzgotte, verhindert wenigstens jenen Neger-Handel und die Sklaverey, die im Sueden und Osten ihr Strafgericht drohen." |

John Martin Henni was Bishop of the Diocese of Milwaukee from 1844 to 1875, Archbishop from 1875 until his death in 1881. |
