NaturaI;zation-Durin the three days of
election, the Courts are crowded with per-
sons anxious to procure their certificates, that it
is not only uncomfortable for the applicants, but
sometimes quite impossible to attend to them.
This difficulty can be easily obviated by apply
ing to the Court of Common Pleas, which is open
daily at IL o'clock, A. NJ, and where our friend
Hoxie, the Clerk, will be happy to give his per-
sonal attention to such as applg-Eve. Star.
We have extracted the above paragraph from
the Evening Star of New York, to show the
fruits of the naturalization laws. In another CO.

ton of New York City, by Professor Ingraham.
I" Withn a fer days fifteen hundred houseless,

Of continuing to hold out an invitation to foreign
immigration. How many of these may be induced
to avail themselves of the notice given in the

out, and we have taken our stand againstit.
This article has already run on too great length,
and we fear that few will read it; yet let us add
one word more. Our opponents seem to have
lost sight of one Of the great and prominent OBJ
ccts of our Association. And that is to pro-
duce throughout this land a purely American
fceling--a home feeling, if we may use such an
|expresson--a national feeling paramount and SUI
preme. This is not possible unless we become
exclusive; not intolerant, but exclusive. We
would hold up this land as the jewel of the
world--inestimabl beyond compare! We would
have every member Of the Native American As
ISOLATION filled with holy zeal for, and daily to
think upon the welfare of the land of his birth
in it's whole extent throughout its broad terrific
ry-and we cannot, and will not become the
slaves the minions or allies, of parties and party
