Hon. l.. G. LEvIN's SPEECH. We have
been favored with n copy of the speech deliv
cred by the Hon. l.. c. Levin, in the House Of
Representatives, on the resolutions of the
assachusctts legislature, in reference to the
naturalization laws and frauds at elections
and shall take an early opportunity to lay it
before our readers. Mr.. Levin is an able and
eloquent champion of the Native American
party, ard viii exert his utmost ability to pro-
care the passage Of such laws as will prevent a
repetition Of the infamous frauds which have
been heretofore praclised at elections


There are but six members Of the House of
Representatives who were elected avowedly as
Of the Native American party; but there are
many others who are pledged to carry out the
main principles of the party; and it is to be
hoped that all will feel disposed TO put an end
TO imposition. There is no other nation that
would tolerate the transportation Of criminals
and paupers to its soil-none that would per-
mi. its internal concerns to be controlled by
foreign policy or foreign combnations-non

people as among its first duties. Here only,
IN the United States of America, is it consi-
dered reproach to have been born upon the
soil: here only that the foreign criminal or
pauper is welcomed with open arms, and al
most forced to participate in the selection OF
public ofiicers-hero only that there is not
proper national pride and seli-rospect. The
iclon from the penitentiary here stands side by
side at the polls with the honest man, and, per-
hops, strives to deprive him of his vote: and
mere, the wretch who is proved to have depo-
sted an Illegal ballot, has his fine and costs
paid by the party to which he belongs-and ii
10 here that legislators are afraid TO pass laws
10 correct these abuses.
