FFOREIGNERS

The mere suggestion that Mr. GaLLatia
is about to proceed to Russia, a special
minister from the United States, has req
pened the tiood-gates of abuse against the

with the crime of being 6 foreigner.''

following remarks gre made but to shew

he acquitted himself well iA it but the lat

the constitution of his state and both Of
them became citizens at the same time, and
as soon as any of us: either wera eligible
TO the highest office in the gift oflhe people,
and both of them have held the most impor-
tant station, the presidency excepted, that
grew out of that form Of government they
assisted to erect. How is it then, that while
the former is claimed as one Of the most
illustrious Of the american people, the lat-

enlightened of Europe, at the time When he

From THE MILITART MONITOR.
TO THE CITIZENS
OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Among the cries Of Tories, is the false asser.
ton that the government OF the United States
is under the influence of the Emperor of France
This fSIsehood is not propogated through abb
solute hatred to France. but through love for
England. France is the enemy of England
and is therefore, and for that reason alone, ha-
ted by the tory, who certainly loves even
France better than he docs America. Witness
the versatility his affections, and how they
are led, constrained, an. altered by the
conduct or directions Of England The I'm.
peror of Germany and king Of Prussia we're
allies Of England and had tory prayers offered
for their success, these powers are now allied
with France and are called either puerile or
periured-Bernadotte, while acting under the
cOntroul and in the service Of France, was a
monster, when he went to Sweden and took
the reins OF government in his hands, he was
an usurper. But now, when it is runored that
he is about "a prove ungrateful to his bene-
factor, and becoming the ally of England, be-
hold, he is already canonized aud changed
from an sngel into demigod. When general
Sarazn attended the French troops to ireland
he was one cf the Paris butchers, when he de-
serted and aed to England he was pentent
