This would operate very injunously upon The best
Interests Of society.
We care no, how American any party is-ii
cannot be too much 81. We are Americans. We
have our own country, our own institutions, our
glorious historical recol.cilons and American lie,
principles, thoughts and feelings 1t IS duty 10

and an upright conduct N all private and public

brotherhood. TINS Is all our Institutions require,
and this their spirit DOES require Of all It s there
fore very clear 10 our apprehension, that organizing
a political party on The basis OF religious creeds,
whether Protestant or Catholic Is not an Amen-
can principle II does not harmonlss with the
spi.it of cur institutions We should object too TO
the word Natlre, prefix 10 American. II a

We object to term which SEEMS TO create an odl-
Gus distinction among our Citizens, whom The con

We shall resist every attempt 10 wage hostlllties
against any portion oi the community on account
Of the place OF their birth, their religion, because
we believe II Is prt-AmerIcan altogether. bat we
approve the demand OF the Native American party
for increased security against FRAUDS IN naturall-
cation, and also Tor additional guarantees for the
parity of the ballot box. These are objects which
all honest men must approve, and cordially second
But what is the use oi forming d new party TO
effect these objects!
As to an extension OF the term ci residence
before naturalization, that IS a question Tor the
American people to decide. They have perfect
right to extend that term TO ten or twenty years, II
they think best. No people under the sun can call
in question our right to do this thing II we should

In the mean time we hold it TO be grleyous
wrong to our country aad to foreign Immigrants
themselves, 10 drag them INTO our political con-
exciting to dangerous pitch their pre-
JUDGES and bad passions, as soon as possible alter
their arrival IN the country. The demagogues
who do this are next o the devil himself the worst
enemies of adopted ci'izsns Immigrants from
foreign countries should be fairly aud kindly treated
and all neediGl assistance 10 enable them 10 adapt
themselves 10 a new country, should be freely

1t is an obvious duty which, as Christian people,
we owe 10 ourselves and 10 them. They should
be advised to take all proper means TO inform them
selves OF the nature and workings OF our lnsiltu.
tons, and stand aloof from our party contests until
they are able to act under>tandInsly.
