the parties we are attacked, we will resent it, and
that we stand alone, defending the flag Of our
country.
Repeal of TIE Standardization Lars.-Eet
it be remembered that the banktes Of this city,
by preventing the election Of Judge Gulon, have
postponed the agitation Of the Repeal question in
the Congress Of the United States for three long
years to come, unless we elect the Native Amer
lean Legislative ticket and thereby secure the
election Of an United States Repeal Senator.
10 not let any sensibie man suppose that the
opposition which this paper has exered against
The bank ticket for some time past, is any indIca-
ton Of an abandonment of our neutrality. 1t is
nothing more nor less than manly and indepen-
dent cXpressi n Of cul indignation al the despotic
and tnpa,riotc course which they have pursued
towards the Native American repeal Party, which
is no more, however, than they have always pur-
sued towards the community generally"
As respects your second letter. we have nothing
to say, except that you have assumed fuse
grounds. The act concerning aliess,'' distinct
ly says that foreigners IN the United States found
guilty Of reasonable or secret Vaccinations
against the Government thereof shall be forced
10 depart the territory. The Native American
Associations of the Unite States take no grounds
whatever against the foreign population thereof
they want to keep those who are omt OF the
United States where they are-or, II they must
come, they wish to have them undergo the same
schooing as our own children. TO the ms we
extend the right hand Of fellowship,
and all the privileges Of our Institutions. 10 the
outs we cannot say-come, eat OF the 1rull you
have aiwavs endeavored to KILL but which we
have reared to perfection against all your ma
chinalions and which, there is too much reason
to fear, will finally be cut down by those whom
we are now inviting to participate with US OF our
fare The petition and law, sir, Of which you
speak, we insert, for the information of all con.
cerned:
:" Ia the honorable he Se'ante and House Of Re-
p.cscuiatiues of The Uniiea States Of America
IN Congress asscn6fed:
"FELLow- CITIZENS The petition of the un-
dersigned citizens Of the United States, and OF
the State of Illinois respectfully shows their be-
lief, that time has fulfilled the object had in view
by our fathers at the period Of adopting the Con
sttuion when they gave Congress the power
of passing laws for the naturalization Of foreign
ers; and your petitioners also show their belief,
that the farther admission Of foreigners 10 par
ticipaion in the political rights Of native Amer
leans, would be hurt(ul to the interests OF our
country, and if continued, will, sooner Of later,
prove destructive to our Republican institutions.
Your petitioners therefore, ask the attention of
your honorable body to the various petitions for
a repeal of the naturalization laws, which have
been formerly presented to your honorable body;
and they farther ask your honorable body TO re-
peal entirely the laws which now exist in regard
to the naturalization of foreigners
"AN ACT CONCERNING ALIENS.
!" .1,1d be 1t enacted, SC. That it shall be law
full for the President of the United States. at any
time during the continuance Of this act, to order
all such aliens as he shall Judge dangerous to the
peace and safety Of the United States, or shall

in any reasonable or secret Vaccinations against
the Government thereof, to depart out of the ter
ritory of the United States, within such time as
shall he expressed in such order; which order
shall be served on such alien by delivering HIM
copy thereof or leaving the same at ms usual
aboae and returned to the Office Of the Secretary
Of State, by the marshal, or other persons to
whom the same shall be directed. And in case
any alien so ordered TO depart, shall be found at
large within the United States after the time lml-
ted in such order for his departure, and not hav-
ing obtained license from the President to re-
side therein, or having obtained such license,
shall not have conformed thereto, every such alien
shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned tor
term not exceeding three years, and shall never
after be admitted to become citizen OF the
United States.
Approved, June 25, 1903"
And, in conclusion, sir, permit us to say, we
fear the course which Won, and many other par
tizans are pursuing, will hasten the day Of our
destruction Then, sir, as ICE make no war
AGAINST those foreigners whom our Constitution
invited to our shores, and who have right to all
our privileges after their arrival, we beg Of you
not 10 make us do deeds Of which we are not
guilty, or pu, words into our mouths which we
never uttered. Our war is against those who arc
no, yet among us,--and against such we have
right to fight.
We will place this article on the basis of our
