fore cqu1iicd by any # the br. CHI and shn NJ Lights
of dat party % celebrated fr Gecencv and - pre-
onInenIy distinguished for talent. Mr.. h. even had
tie hardilO0d To assert tLat tie Wing party did not
oppose foreigners. and that they never had oplo ed
item. Truly his memory must be very trcachcrous
IN this particular. Has lie forgotten Tie rise aid rro-
grc,s f tic nltiyc American Iary The ruth Is
tie m1in leaders Of that parry are Wings. Mr.. Jones
who formerly edited a Native American paper at
Washington city Is a devoted friend IF Mr. Clay. So
j. VIM. ChrISty. who siumred t for Harrison: Mr..
Harper. the newly elected Mayor Of New York city.
and even Theodore FrclRghuy>en. There is another
very strong circtm stan-c which roe to Prove that tic
democrats favor c%nigrants 10 the United States, and
the Wings oppose them.
On tie lSt # August, 1872, Mr.. Walker asked
leave To introduce "A bill in the L.. :. Senate, reducing
from FIVE to ,wo years the term Of residence required
b. law FIR naturalization OF foreigners. Dir. Archer,
Ga Whig) made 4 speech against IL. Leave was re-
fused BY a vote # Il t. Il. Every wing, GIcssr>.
White and SMITH voted against granting leave and
every democrat for il. Even Barnett has here,of re
slandercd nltural.zcd citizens who worked on canals,
turnp.kcs, &C., and no less than two months ago. he
copied into tie Rifle, MIR. Wetherods uninanly attack
upon Ar. Owen hccau Q hc happened to be born in
tie old world. In the face If all thee iict>, the
Wings now come farward and attempt to hrjnhug TO-
%rcigncrs, a they call them; but they VIII find them
selves greatly mistaken.
After singing a fcV songs. Mr.. Mcguire took the
stand and asserted that Mr.. Polk was in favor Of d-
rect taxation. The audience looked up in amaze
mcni, a # they were going to say who :lall We be-
leve. Mr.. Aiaguirc. or Mr.. Hardin n. tic Wing Con-
gresham, from Illinois. Mr.. Hardin quotes from
Mr. Polk, n follows:
lie (Col. poI) was oppo cd to direct taxes and 10
prOhIbtorv and protective duties, and in favor of~uch
moderaie duties as would not cut of impor,aticn~.'
Rut Mr.. Naguirc'S mode Of Iroving his assertion
: was amusing n tie extreme. He asserted hat The
Democrats party were for direct taxation. and then
read from a speech Of John e. Calhoun, Where Mr.. c.
said he was in favor Of free trade. Mr.. Mcguire
must have thought he was addrc sing a very ignorant
audience when he attempted to show that free trade
meant direct taxation. But to cap the climax. before
lie got through with his rcna rks. lac Il cd free trade
: in a connexion which compelled him 10 admit that
some yelrS ago. free trade DID not mean direct taxa
alton, but he did not point out tie particular period
= when that term changed is meaning.
{ Mr.. Mcguire then attempted to prove that Mr.. Clay
: was not a gambler. He said that nearly all tie rel.
+, gious people about Lexington, where Mr.. Clay rcsid
ed. had always supported Mr.. Clay. ard that tAo
would not have supported him f hc were a gam ia
/ At this moment several Fer. onS left tie room. i
this be logical reasoning, you might PROVE that a naf
was not n christian because n great portion Of gam
E blers supported him for office. Religion and polite.
are two things, and the trainers Of the Constitute
wisely excluded all clauses calculated to blend oa'

These, fellow citizens. are the means the VIII
party resort to for the purpose Of sustaining then
