has eeized not oply upon the National
Administration after the fourth Of March |
next, but has the control of three fOurths |
of the State government.
This is a new order Of things 10 wit"
ness in this county, after The peace,
prosperity, and security Of rights for
a halfcentury under democratic rule, as
expressed through the ballot boxes, and
carried out by the agents of thoec prin-
ciples in Office, until our country has
become the admiration or jeal busy OF
all mankind; and the ability Of the peo-
pie for self government as it was sup
posed put beyond all doubt.
The future now is one pregnant with
interest to all the sons Of hberty-the
friends ofequal rights and a democratic
government.
As the men of the black cOckude-
the advocates of alien and eedI;io1 laws
--and the old and natural enemies of
the people, arc in the ascendant, they
will as far as their fears Of reaction Of
public feeling will permit them advance
their long exploded principles.

the democracy, in fact is scarcely an
bounced until we are alarmed by the
insidous attacks of triumphant federal.
ism upon the established principles Of
our country--laws long sustained for
their justice and what is still more a.
farming Dpon the very constitution itself
in its most vital parts.

disorders and civil wars. that must for
years drench our peaceful fields in hu-
man blood, and end in the extinction Of
one or the other Of tho races.
SecOadly-Thero is a wide sad fear
ful movement on foot, by men calling
Themselves ndiive Americana, 10 repeal
the naturalization IRws,-and thus cut
of al future emigrants 10 our country
from ever becoming citizens, Already
are new societies forming, papers set
ting in motion, lecturers hired, and pol
ItIcians planning for successful move
in this attack upon emigrans hon' other
countries. The foulest attacke ara made
upon Germans, Irish, WEIGH, French,

of liberty, with tho most suppicating ap'
peals to repeal all lave making them cit
lzens of cur republic.

(for we, as politician, having nothing
to do with religious differences while
