are pursuing a course Gas it is known they are
which is likely to prove dangerous to the liber-

by desiring that they shall reside more than five
years in the country before they are admitted
to citizenship. If they come with patriotic
views, they will approve restriction which
saves them from performing Il duty before they
are qualified to comprehend fully its nature and
effect. We do not propose to close our ports
to those immigrants who voluntarily seek our
land with the view of becoming citizcns and of
amalgamating with the people of the United
States: we only ask that they shall delay as
Stunning the character of citizens until they shall
have resided amongst us a sufficient time 10 I'M
derstand the principles of our government; TO
become Americanized in feeling; and to be idcri-
titled in interest with the country, There is
no prescription in this-on the contrary, it is
much more liberal policy than is adopted by
any other country. But there is another dcs
cription of immigrants against whose introduce
ton into our country upon any terms, we Ye-
hementy protest. We mean the criminals and
paupers who are transported by thousands to
our land. This kind of immigrants should be
strictly prohibited from landing on our Shores;
as they cannot be manufactured into good citi-
zens by any process, long or short. The policy
of American Republicans is the american poll
cy--that which would give US proper solGre-
spect as people, and cause us to be respected
by others. We must think, feel and act as men
who rejoice in the Liberties we possess, and who
are resolved not to hold their rights so cheap,
as to confer them upon the felons and paupcrs
of Europe.
