tised in the ignorant exercise of the elective

come when we should modify our laws, giving

the right of voting. The time once was when
to say Il am a Roman citizen was a protec-
ton against oppression. What advantage is it
now to have been born citizen of these Uni
ted States: The hired soldery, who plundered
our property, and made war upon our country,
are, after short probation, admitted to all the
rights of native born citizens. Is it not right,
that in view of our altered circumstances, the
increased facilities of throwing upon our shores,
the ignorant and pauper population of Europe,
we should protect ourselves against their pes
tiferous influence? And is it right that you,
to whom so many privileges have been grant
ed, should take offence because it is proposed
to put an end to abuses, which, all must see
endanger the public liberty? Are you not con-
scious of the increasing evil? Are you not in

you not, in gratitude owe it to those who have
adopted you into the AmericaR family, to exert
your influence 10 do so; and is it not an insult
to your understanding; is it not disparaging
your patriotism, when demagogues appeal to
you and to your prejudices, as foreigners, to en-
list your Influence against a measure, so ne

TO THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE.

The address this day published, explains the
relations heretofore existing between the Wing
party and myself. The purpose its Publica-
uonls not to impeach the Central Committee,
or to impugr the motives under which they
have acted. Il is to come fairly and fully be-
fore you and the public, that l may ascertain
how far you are disposed to support a press,
free to treat with fairness and candor, the
questions of Catholicism and Naturalization, so
far as they have bearing on our civil institu-
ions.
While leave to the religious press, the dis
cussion of religious faith, l cannot close my
eyes to the fact that, the only means ofn aintain-
ing religious liberation, is TO ''resist' all at
tempts to consolidate religious sects as polit-
ical party-and most of all, that which, acting
under foreign head, has heretofore disturbed
the peace of nations, aid substituted the sword
and the torch, for the preaching of the gospel.
1t isb slieved that there are topics connected
with this subject, that belong appropriately to
the political press, and that much good may be
done by temperate discussion of them in
commercial and political paper The Pilot
will not be devoted to those subjects exclu
slvely, but treat of them in their appropriate
relation to current political questions, and thus
furnish medium, through which the Profess
ant community may reach the public ear, when
ever it becomes their duty to speak.
Of the arrangements fol placing the paper on
footing to be most useful, will hereafter speak.

know, at an early day, how lar the public con
cur in the views l have presented, and free
