TWO THOUSAND newly made citizens on the pre-
sent occasion; 1900 at the lastsprng election, and
1900 in the fall of last year; making, according
to the most reasonable estimates, .fve thousand
aud four hundred citizens, made from our for
eign population in one gear! Good heavens,
only look at it, Americans!


1t will be recoected that this estimate has BEEN
prepared by others, and already published as the
result of the most careful inquiries Now, what
are we to think Of these things? Admitting that
there were but $4,000 adopted citizens previous
to the present year-which is taking the estimate
made four years ago-and we now have eighteen
thousand four hundred! This is a majority of
the whole legal voters in the city Of New York.
We ask you, fellow citizens, what mGy be the
result, Of these things? We believe that there
are great numbers Of our adopted citizens who
are really patriotic and highly intelligent, but do
you believe that all the others understand our re-
publican institutions as well as you do! Think
Of this!


Ireason.-We know not what to think when
we see foreign editors among US villifying our
countrymen in the manner they do, and crying
down our blood-bought institutions. Not long
since the editor of the Telegraph at Cincinnati,
said in ridiculing our laws and government
"1his system of gover7nae,a may be very fine IN
theory; very fit for limitation on the part Of those
sDho seek the po,oer Of the mob in contradis-
tinction to justice and the public interest, but
this republic is not of nature TO invite the re-
aecting part the vorld! What do you think
native Americans, of such citizen and his trea-
sonable language? Why was it that such an one
was allowed to set himself up in our midst and
with the power Of the press at his command, to
scatter poison and death throughout our land?
Yet, fellow citizens, he is but one of the many in
our populous places, who are widely promulga-
ting such fatal hereses. And are you prepared to
submit to such things, with the certain prospects
before you, that they are hurrying your country
to perdition! No, never!


Such language we have seen is common among
his countrymen in their own country, but after
coming among us and claiming the protection of
those laws which he villifes, and, for his merce-
nary purposes, becoming citizen under the gov
ernment which he condemns, what are we to
think? He is indeed suitable citizen for the de-
fence of our liberties! Away with such s'citi-
zens!' Americans, beware; you are on the verge
ola precipice, from which, ere long, you will be
precipitated into the common gulph of all repub-
|lics


FIVE have many such polluted and unprinci-
pied public journals in the country as the New
York Post-which, God fordid--our destiny is
sealed and the days of this republic numbered. The
following, from the National Banner, we are in
deed ashamed to spread before our readers, as
coming from an American Gfhe ought to be called
one)


The author of the conduct charged against the
Post, is either wofally ignorant or knavshly
vicious, and ought to be exposed to universal con-
tempt.


pDLook at this, .An,ericaas!-The Post dis
played a flourishing article, during the election,
headed DECENTRALIZATION LAWS; and
said "we publish for the instruction and benefit
Of all foreign residents, the following provisions
of the Naturalization Law, &c. 1t then goes on
to give all the most favorable points of the law,
as AL inducement for foreigners to avail themselves
of the opportunity to vote at the election; all of
which closes by the following, which we ask eve
ry American to read without regard to his poll
tical or party sentiments, and make his own de-.
ductions.


"Persons desiring to become american citi-
zens, are invited to call upon the Democratic
Republican Naturalization Committee of the
avard IN avhich they reside, or apon the General
4'ut o' o1t~neof' SOhe"1c1tec " EtC L/tULOCTMIC
Republican, Party, at Iamnaany HaH!r'
Now our readers will see, that, though we have
taken no partizan stand, we cannot let such fla
grant outrage upon our American principles pass
without notice. As an advocate of the principles,
we care not where such facts and insults come
from; we find them in the Post and shall condemn
them opposed to the best interests of our coun-
try, and with the conviction that the editor and
his friends, if they are possessed of common sa-
gacity, know them to be so.


Foreigners are greedy enough to seize hold Of
all the liberties which our laws hold out without
being urged on in this manner, solely for party
purposes to clutch at the veriest shadow Of right
whatever and wherever they are. 1t is this goad-


ing on Of the foreign populace, which will yet de-
stroy our government; and if this is the object of
any native citizen, he should at once come out
and declare it in SO many words.


| But the establishment of these I" Democratic
Republican Naturalization Committees" is what
we look at The thing seems to be all cut and
dried, and Nineteen Democratic Naturalization
Committees are thoroughly engaged for purposes
which are but too plainly revealed; Amercans re-
fleet! Are these the principles of Jefferson, or
of any true citizen?
