"Mr, Editor:
"SIR:-l am at this time member of
the Clay Club of Bucyrus, and Secretary
of the Clay Club of Holmes township.
and have, as it is we'll known. since The
commencement Of the present campaign,
done all IN my power 10 advance the in.
lerests of the whig party. In this matter
| am now convinced That have erred
most egregiously, and that justice 10 the
public and myself require ofme public
rennnciation OF all wing predictions aud
principles,
"'rns whig leaders induced me to bel
lieVe that they were the true democra.
cy, and that National Bank and a high.
protective tariff we're necessary for the
public goo d, and were sanctioned bv
the opinions Of Washington and Jeffer,

But on the thorough investigation of
these matters, find that so far as men
aud measures are capable Of proving il
de nifty, they are the same distinguished,
in 1900 by the name of federaists: and
that they dishonesty assumed the name,
OF democrats 10 deceive The people; and,
that Washington and Jefferson were op
posed TO National Bank on grounds of
constltutionaliIy as we'll as expediency;
and that high protective tariff, as now
understood, isa now tangled measure :.
the spawa OF fedora corruption hatched
into existance since those patriots and
ssges have retired from public lite. A.
National Bank is in my opinion uncen.

"The campaign Of 1910 wss signalix-
ed for its drunkenness, wickeduess, de.
baucheries, falsehoods and tOoleries.-
The strange and sppallng incidents
which have regularly succeeded each
other since that time, irresist IDLY impress
me with the belief that the finger Of Of.
Tended Providence is distinctly visible in
ad ninistesring reproof and admonishing
Us of the necessity Of correcting past er.

that they consider us as nothing buI seIfs

FEDERAL PRESCRIPTION.

During the federal administration Of
John Adams Law was enacted known as
the" alien law,'') which subjected 70 r.
eipn. born citizens to be banIshed at
the sole will Of thePresident. The dem
ocratic administration Of Thomas JsEfer-
son succe edMr. Adams, and that justly
odious and unpopular law was repealed:
but although it was condemned BY the
people, the leader ofthe federal whie par'
~ still entertain the same spirit Of hos.
tility to adopted citizens that the federal.
isle did in John Adams time; and we
have every reason to believe, from the ir
late conduct in New York and from ar
ticles like the following, which we fre'
qusntiy meet with in the whig papors,
that they would, if they had il in their
p over, enact laws fully as proscriptVe Of
adopted citizens as the alien law.
The following paragraph is from the
Lebanon Star, the federal whig paper Of
Warren county, Edited byMr. Denny the
Whg member Of the Ohio Senate from
that county.
"NEW YORK CITY ELECTION.
"The charter election in NswYork city
on the 9th inst. :, resulted in the triumph
ofthe third party, called the Native Al
melcan. This party has had its origin
within the last few years, and has been
formed with direct reference TO change
Of the naturalization law. The ease and
facility with which this Law has been VIC.
lated has Justly alarmed the Native A.
mercan citizens, who. for their own de-
fence, and the preservation ofthe eiec.
tive franchise in it's purity, have been
compelled to take decided stand in ia,
YER Of such modification Of the exist.
ing law as shall effsciually prevent the
fraudulent exercise Of the right Of suf.
frase. In the City Of New York, and.
indeed, ia all our large cities, thousands
of foreigners vote every year without a
shadow OF right,and without any knowl'
edge Of the nature Of our institutions, OF
the question to be affected by their votes.
These men, moreover in many instances,
the very worst description Of population

the eve OF important elections, they are
sought out by unPrincipled demagogues,
and BY the aid Of perjury and bribes, are
furnished with certificates of naturaliza.
ton, when it is notorious that they have
just arrived in the country. They are
then forced TO the polls, and deposit their
votes Iotlrnen they know not, for the prin
ciples they cannot comprehend, and fol
measures, the utility and expedency oI
which they are as ignorant as a polar
bear. The right Of suffrage, in this
country, is too important to be tampered
with. 1t is the only safeguard Of our in.
stitutious. It is important, therefore that
il should be honestly and intelIgsDtly ex.
ercised--not by bribed foreign stree,
beggars, just escaped from the aims hous
ses and the plIsOns, but by the unbought
unpulchasable, and independent Ameri-
