| Some of the loco prints cry out against the
I 'scrusade that the Native American party is wa
ging against foreigners" thereby admitting, thai
to protect ourselves against the abuses of the
privileges literally bestowed upon aliens, by the
I patriotic trainers OF our Constitution, and en-
! deavorng by timely precaution to preserve that
/ Constitution and blessings it besiows for our
children, as we received it from our fathers is an
outrage upon foreigners!

Ifthe matter did not involve such serious con
sequences, il would be too ridiculous to discuss
Because we want to amend an important part Of
our political policy, re>cind laws or enact them,
according as our well being nation may re-
quire. every foreign thief and beggar who has
been kicked upon our shores, should protest a
gaiust such measures! Ia the early history OF
a!I the Republics which have risen d)urished and
passed away, foreigners have been invited to peo
pie the country, and every intucament held out

Jesc ions 10 settle in them.

emergency ef the case but it is question, il the
downfall OF those Republics could not be dated
from The day foreigners and the dregs Of society
rast their influence into the popular scale.
