We have ever been the warm advocates
of our present system of government, and
would energetcallv oppose any change Of
its present constitution We believe that it
rs not only the best form of government, but
that it is really the best goceynment that mas
ever been embraced by any nation Whilst
we concede this much to our present system
we are compelled 10 acknowledge that 1t is
both very intricate and complex -reconci.
ling conflicting interests, tolerating sove
Teignties within sovereignty, and COM
mingling Federal and State powers which
at first view seem discordant and inc ompati.
bic with each other. Our Legislators have
wisely concluded that the first Twenty One
years Of our life should be devoted to the ex.
animation of this system, and during thai
lime has excluded US from any active part
iclpalion In It's management Its princi.-
pies are insti led into our minds in child
mood, lss study becomes part of the educa-
ton of our youth, and its examination claims
the labor of our riper years. Whilst we
acknowledge the wisdom of these nrovis.
1onsi and whilst we adopt a system so rio.
orous TO ourselves, we yet strangely extend
Inc most criminal indulgence 10 everv for
elgner who touches our shores. We invite
'nem % come amongst US with their preiu.
olces OF education and example-with their
u"er lgnorance of the principles of our gov
erhment-wIth their wild notions of a lin,
erty without law. and with all their moral
mental and political ignorance, and ask
them to assist US in the administration of .
government which has cost US a life of Ia
Dor 10 appreciate and comprehend. Thi;
invitation is extended to all. and vel how
comparatively few, who reason or think
ever embrace it. Some ofthen, are uaen @

are the paupers or convicts of other lands
Men Of refinement and education. Of We, III
and station, seldom disrupture the tics o
home and country, whilst the ignorant, th,
criminal and the INDECENT of all lands EN-
brace our invitation and fly TO tie support g
OF our government after they have becom
unworthy Of their own. Large masses O
them are utterly destitute of any education
Others become the subjects of our aims an,
charity as soor as they touch our shores. an,
the large majority bcsome the out cast Of nm





community and force themselves upon ou
