it of prescription which governed

was addressed by T.. J. Fox Alden,

ment until they would remain in this
country twenty-one years. Much
was said about "lhe greatest evils
that ever occurred 10 nur county,"
but not n instance was mentioned
Of the evils OF our present Naturali-
cation Laws. The Catholics came ia
for Il share Of the abuse, bat the speak
ers forgot that many Of that dencmi
