liza and patent pills strip them OF mature hesh
and spirit; the crazy Legislators OF Illinois
,vonId share the fate of the traitor who attempt
Cd to introduce an army of foreign voters INTO
West Point. The Sucker Lawmakers IKE
old Rebekab. have stitched strap OF goat
skin-or what is the same in substance-some
of their own skin, around the arms and neck oil
foraioners. Such trick deceived old lsaac'
of course it would impose on simple Sucker.
These foreigners wear the party collar around
,ho;, oo.ks and feel like Americans. Such
rick NAV impose on Suckers, if Badgers were
there. a rookery would take place, sure. What
has aroused native jealousy in our own Terrific
,v-in this very county! Need l point you
10 the outrages upou our Constitution perpe-
uated by our worthy Legislators last winter,
in allowing 10 unnaturalized foreigners the
right of suffrage? Ulysses-like. they put out
the broad, searching eye of the Cyclop that
guarded the sanctity of the ballot box;-'hey
recklessly sold the bir!hright of the American
citizen for foreign votes and pottage;-through
the breaches made in our Naturalization Law,
Democrats and Wings expected to haul in IL
legal voters as you would gather in drowning
mariners into a life boat; and worst OF alb
they have reused up feeling of indignation
which | fear will fasien on the innocent Tor
eiqners instead of themselves. Woe with the
day when Native Americans and Foreigners
are arrayed in opposition to each other through
out our whole country. have shown that the
hostility now existing has been mainly pro-
duced by desecrating the ballot box, and vlo-
iaiino our Naturaion Laws. For the sake oil
peace row and forever, let US repair the breach
recklessly made in those laws. What enhan-
ces the guilt of these lvaitOfous Legislators and
the indignation of every patriot. is, those laws
express fully the generous sympathy OF every
true American heart with the oppressed OF
every cline. The oppressed foreigner VINO
had no more voice in his native government
than in the government of the moon, in five
wears may be crowned king in the United
States; the peer ofmonarchs and mobiles, one OF
the sovereign people, and every avenue open
TO the highest honors man can bestow. Where
else on earth can a stranger rise 10 such an
emuence and acquire SO much power IN hVe
yearsl Will a man forget his early proposes
sions and acquire new ones, in less than five
yearsl 1t requires seven years 10 alter the
Substance of the human body, and the mind
does not undergo more rapid transformation
except with our weahercock politicians. 1t
is the policy of our nation to assimilaie all Tor
eiun population TO its own substance. Our
nation fa,tens and strengthens by feeding on
the liberty hunting emigrants from the Oid
World. Bot we must introduce food by way
of the mouth, and not force it by violence into
every part Of The body, like oakum into The bot
tom of a fiat boat; but leave this cannibal
illustration. Our lawmakers say, that the
alien law of last winter only allows unnatural
lied foreigners to vote for State Government
and for Delegates 10 form a Constitution, and
then their voting is at an end. Yes, 1t allows
them TO vote on the most important matters
that the citizens of this Territory will ever be
called on 10 decide, and then il stops! This
outs me in mind of the Sucker who was cleo
ted Justice of the peace. Before he received
his commission, couple applied to him TO
unite them in the sken bands of mairmony.
The Sucker DECLARED he could not act till he
gol his commission; but as the applicants would
no, take no for an answer, he sat down and
wrote the following license: This shall au-
thorise you A. b. and C.. ID. to live together
and bed together, and do as married folks do,
till get my commission, when this license
shall be void, and of none effect" So our le-
pislators have authorized unnaturalzed for.
eigners TO bed together with native citizens,
and do as they do, in The all important matter
of forming State Constitution, and after that
the license is of none effect They must
have taken the hint from the Illinois Justice.
