ed on to moral crime by the desire of dishonest
gain, have scattered their agents over Europe,
inducing the macontent and the unthrifty to
exchange life of compulsory labor in foreign
lands, for relative comfort to be maintained by
the tax-paying industry of our overburdened
and deeply indebted community Not content
with the usual and less Objectionable licenses
Of the trade, these fraudulent dealers habitual-
ly deceive a worthier class of victims by false
promises of employment, and assist in throng
ing the already crowded avenues Of simple la
bor with host Of competitors, whose first ac-
quantance with American faith springs from
gross lmpoSture, and whose first feeling on dis
covering the cheat, is reasonable mistrust, if
not imPlacable revenge. The importation Of
the physical necessities of life is hurdered with
duties, which many deem oXtravagaut; bat the
importation Of vice and deness-of seditious
citizens and taCtIous ruers--is not only unre-
gtrictcd by anything beyond a nominal tax, bat
is actually encouraged by a SYSTEM which
| transforms the great patrimony Of the nation,
| purchased by the blood Of our fathers, into
source Of bounty for the promotion Of immi-
grafton.
! Whenever an attempt Is made 10 restrain
this fatal evil the native and adof led dema-
gugues protest against an effort which threat
ems to deprive them of their most Important
TOOLS and such is the existing organization Of
our established political parties, that should
either Of them essay the reform Of ain abuse
which both acknowledge to be fraught with
ruin, that party sinks, upon the instant, into
minority, Invested of control and incapable of
result.
From such causes has been derived body,
armed with political power, in a country Of
whose system it is ignorant. AMI of whose in
stitutons it feels little interest, except for the
sake of personal advancement.
This body has formed and encouraged asso-
| Citations under foreign names, to promote mea-
sures of foreign policy and to perpetuate TO-
reign clanishuess among adopted citizens of
the United States-in contravention of that
spirit of union and nationality without which,
no people can legitimately claim place
among the nations of the earth.
1t has employed the power of associations TO
emhroil the people of this country in the poll
teal disputes of other lands, with which the
United States are anxious to encourage peace
and amity.
1t has introduced foreign ealJlemS, not only of
national, but of partlzan character, in the civic
professions and public displays OF bodies of
men, claiming the title of American citizens
and sworn to American fealty; by which means
it has fomented frequent riot and murder
1t has adopted national costumes and nation
al insignia foreign TO Tie country, in arming and
equipping military corps, constituting part OF
the national guard, with its word of command
in foreign language, in open defiance Of our
military code; by which means it has weaken
ed the discipline of the militia, and rendered it
less available for defence in time of war.
1t has entered into the strife of parties as
separate organization, unknown to the laws,
suffering itself TO be addressed and led to the
contest-not as portion Of the great American
family of freemen, but combined as foreigners;
thus virtually falsfying its oaths of allegiance,
and proving beyond denial, its entire unftness
for political trust
1t has formed and encouraged political COM
binations, holding the balance ofpower between
feTed their votes and influence to the highest
bidder, in exchange for pledges Of official posi-
ton and patronage.
1t has boosted of giving Governors to our
States, and Chief Magistrates to the nation
BY serving as an unquestionIng and uncom-
promising tool of executive power, it has IA
vored political centralsm, hostile to the rights
of the independent States and the sovereignty
of the people.
1t has facilitated the assumption by the ma
tonal executive, of the right to remove from
office, Without the consent Of the Senate, persons
who only can be appointed acih such consent;
which assumption is an obvious evasion of the
spirit of the Constitution.
1t has encouraged political combinations for
the purpose of efecting sectarian measures in
defiance of the fundamental law of the United
States, and the constitutions of the States in
which such efforts have been made.
1t has given rise to the organization and arm
ing OF foreign bandHi, leagued for the purpose of
controlling the freedom of discussion and oppos-
ing the constitutional assembling Of American
fleemen, seeking the redress of political griev-
ances, which lawless bands have repeatedly
threatened assaulted and temporarily dispersed,
lawful political meetings Of native citizens, in
various places.
