FURTHER OBJECTS OF The REfEALEho.
1t is often objected to the Native American
Dartv, that it is unnecessary--because there is
10 danger to be apprehended from the immi-
ration of foreigners and that if any Govern
nent attempt TO send their subjects among us
20 such an extent as to endanger our institu-
lions, we will not submit to it. Aye, there's
! he rub When are we to be aware OF, or
how are we know, the intentions of foreign
Governments on this subject? When they
| have planted their foot so strongly upon our
;oil, that it will be death struggle to avert
heir purposes Look around, fellow coun-
,rvn,en, and see ifthere is no cause of fear in
his our day Of peace. What is the Leopold
Society doing? Christianising America
! Who are the patrons Of this Society? Kings
ind princes What object have they in view!
The overthrow of our government Our
tumble opinion is confirmed by the following
.tatement: "Some years since, when there
vas considerable excitement in Cincinnati,
(. relative to a class of men who have been ex-
Guided from almost every country, because of
the poisonous doctrines they protestant
when Native American was attacked by an
Irishman because he would not dof his hat
to a man. affirming that he did homage to
God alone, it was then boldly asserted, that
they hoped to see the day when the streets OF
that city would be flooded with Blood" This
assertion was made by one of the devotees OF
the Leopold Society perhaps man that had
Ebeen sent over here by it, to begin the work
Eof destruction. Could no other instances be
brought? Yes! We could enumerate them
,lntil the patience ofour readers would be ex-
.lausted. But it is not our purpose to do it. We
aution you against this dangerous objection.
Foreigners are coming in upon us from all
uarters, and in such numbers as to create
yonder, if it will not alarm. How shall we
now when to stop this flood? Who are to
e the Judges of this increase-who are to say
when we have enough? Stop 1T NOW, or
t may soon be too late. We give not physic
the dead, but to the sick; therefore, the
.ooner we commence the operation, the sooner
will our country be freed from this dreadful
.estilence.
But say these sticklers, why exclude all ?
As tothe paupers and Migrants, exclude them
end them back. There can be but one opin.
IN on this subject" There should be but
ne, but unfortunately there are many. How
re we to discriminate between the good and
he bad citizen, until he is tried? Are we tc
eceive them all as apprentices to Republi
an form of Government; allow them to vote
and then, if they are not good citizens, or
10 not vote right, send them back Who are
20 be the judges Of their qualifications? Per.
fhaps Mr.. Hand will introduce one more sec
1 zion in his bill to make provision for this i'm
tDortant item to foreigners. Let us create {
s.!ew hundred new officers in Government ane
Anthem Foreign Guardians and after they
uave used foreigners five, ten, or fifteen years
md they do not exactly suit them, why char
ier few vessels and send them home. W.
/ ay seriously, that we cannot discriminate
Ind the only way to rid us of the pest is, t.
exclude ALL Let those who are among Il:
femain, and teach them to be good citizens
Let those who are at home stay there and be
ZONE good citizens of their native land.
