With all these facts before us, my young
friend which are alike honorable to orr pro-
genltors as they are inestlmmble TO Us, It is
! intOerable to hear foreigners, with eo":'e'y

our cities, daring to couple the sacred name
of Washington, Jefferson and the host Of
worthless who have left their brig ht examples
behind them.
will ask, what brings those forcignersnow
to our shores? Is it the sincere love for our
free and republican institutions that they are
SO continually Boosting of? Their conduct
contradicts it. DO they come to better orr
condition, or to improve their own? DO
they make any sacrifice OF honor, wealth, or
|amhition, prompted by spirit OF phlanshro-
Ipy? No, they do not but in the language of
ia play performed at Botany Bay, "they leave
their country for their country's good.
When in future, then, my young friend, you
hear any OF those torei gnerS either from IL
norance or insoence, thus hold forth, point TO

| let them read, if they can, from whence we
receive our birth right then direct shrir al
