Nuts TO crack for The Natives.
Ely AN AMERICAN


= L. The Alpha and Omega of the Native creed is
:hs That all emgrants to shores shall be treated
aliens, and denied the right of self-government
for twentv-one years at least" after declaring their
intentions to become citizens. Now, would net such
measure so imbitger them against the country and
institutions TO render them dangerous residents
Would not the enmity engendered in the fathers be
apt 10 descend to their children and should not
thus create nation of enemies in our very midst!
=. What defence shall we 50 Natives " make for our
fathers who not only took the liberty to
BY y-loads," but went so far to beget children
the American SOIL and thus perpetuated the of
intruders
). Z" No taxation without representation, was the
batte-cry of our fathers. Now if all emigrants
to be unrepresented in our government for at least
tweny-one years after their arrival ought they not
to receive the benefit Of drawback on the SALT irol
calcoes ustians, &c, that they during that
time Should "American Republicans " squeeze a
part of their government expenses out of men whom
they unwilling admit to the rights of citizens
Have we not native citizens enough to fill our
Offices without going among those of foreign birth y
is question often put forth by the native orators with
an air of irresistible confidence. | VIII answer it
with another Of the same sort: Hare re not FREE
HOLDERS enough FIJI our cces 1rithout going 0nsoHg
tie lcadess and The poor Remember, the moment
wenroduce arbitrary distinctions of any sort among
people, that moment we transform government
into an sristocracy. No true Demoe1t-no true
gealc,aa even-can recognize any other distinctions
than those of goodness and talent.
D. "Those foreign paupers are too ignorant to enjoy
the right Of sufrage!' have often heard the same
thing said of the American working classes. If
arst)cracy Of wealth can only dIsfrachse the first,
they will find it an easy matter to dsffanchise the
second.
g. They would rob us Of the Bible" Ha ha
Ina have known nations be robbed of their pro-
perty Of their liberty and of every thing that pride
or avarice could coyef; / have seen the organ Of
acqui itiycness manifest itself in thousand ways and
lay its hands on almost every thing except sermons
and Blbles-bul cannot believe that any man would
seger think Of stealing these. For my own part l
would rather insure thousand Bibles against theft
than one umbrella. Besides, is not the Bible a
foreign languages, and translated into English
By foreign priests at the command Of foreign king
Thea way Danish it from the American soil, and
allow the " Native American" Bible of Joe Smith TO
take It's pl1ce
z. Taat the Id Irish very bad description
of cattle and that the Lord tikes very great liberty
in creating such animals points that shall not
attempt to argue against; but should the Almighty
still persist in placing them or planet how are we
to help ourselves Suppose shoot them down, and
burn their houses, and their churches, and compel
their wives and little to seek refuge in the
woods, Philadsphia fashionable British aristocracy
has tried all that before u.s. and yet the Irish more
numerous than ever.
g. Although our moncyed arstocracy, from the time
of John Adams to the present, have endeavored to
