Contrary to public expectation the State OF


Illinois, it is feared has gone for the administra-
ton. Upwards of 5000 aliens and laborers on


all the public works in Illinois have been broughtup
to vote for the administration men scarcely three
months in the country, those who had but barely
landed from the ships in New York, and per-
formed the journey to Illinois, were legally drafted
in the administration ranks, and made to vote the
administration ticket. That State last year was
Van Buren, consequently all the canals and rail-
roads were under the control of his partlsans.
Last year the wings had majority in Chicago,
this year the Loco F0co party had eight hundred
myorityH What man, accustomed to look at
these matters, supposes that such an immense
change has taken place in small town within a
year-an honest, legal change Of voters! Ger
tainly not. Every foreigner employed on the
Government vorks at Chicago uotea the Tan
Buren ticket, anil what Is a disgrace to the
character OF the elective franchise anita complete
anockery Of all its guards and protective rights,

Here is danger of the most serious character.
Americans are threatened to be overpowered in
their own country. A host Of aliens seeking
employment and bread in the United States, with
out naturazation-without knowledge even of
the question at issue, are brought to the polls by
Government contractors; and men born in the
land, having families, property, and children to
bring up and support, are actually put down by
foreign mercenaries. If an armed body of for
eigners should land on our shores, with arms in
their hands to capture the country, can there be
doubt that they would be met by citizens in
arms and the last drop shed in defence of the
soil? Where is the difference, we would ask, in
body Of aliens illegally wrestling power from
Americans by seizing upon the ballot-box, the
peaceable and constitutional means of choosing
our rulers?
