sir God bless New Hampshire for her recent efforts
10 emancpa,e herself from the iron letters OF false
pretended democracy. The party which the gen

The great evil, with regard TO the Foreign voters,
is, that demagogues attempt delude them into the
belief of their exclusive friendship, and often sue

somewhat uuacquained with our peorle. But the
remedy for this rot in forming party 10 per

remedy is different one. 1t was limited al. iew
days since, by the gentleman from Michigan lAlr

truth IN This than the gentleman himself supposed
True Democracy-genuine Repubcanism-is rp-
held by education. But the false Democracy of,he
present day-ihc base pretcxts by which dema-
gogues often gain temporary lriumph-havc IN
decd no greater enemy Than education. Let me
specify few things which education teaches both
the Foreigner and the Nativc-tor example:
When the proposition To annex Texas TO this
Union first started, the Statesmen OF the South
had the honesty 10 put it on its true grounds, and
oDcry avowed that their object was 10 perpetuae
Slavery, and protect their own Domestic lns;,tu

their honesty But what think you was the ground
then taken by the Northern Democracy They, at
that very time, advocated Annexation under the
false, the base the hypocrtca pretext that would
be the means OF abolishng Slavery and would thus
strengthen tho free States. This their great argu
ment at the North. Such hypocrisy must, one day,
reap its reward and needs only to be understood TO

Many Of oui adopted citizens come from country
-,lere the rate OF wages is low that only bare
subsistence can be Obtained by hard, incessant la
Der. They have only to understand the subject aud
they will at once see, that the policy which protects
them from The competition with this Ill paid labor, Is
the true policy for them.
The State of Connecticut provides, by its laws for
the purity of the ballot box but the people OF that
State are not in favor CT creating new party the
narrow, bigo,ed ground of Native Americenism-
She protects the ballot box by her laws and shepre
pares her citizens for their political duties by the
Education which she gives every child native or
foreign. In the District which represent there is
a body Of foreign voters respectable both in num-

being educated or not, will not undertake TO say
but that they exceedingly well informed no one

Kind of Democracy. Perhaps he would be more
than ever opposed 10 Education.
But sir this is not the time il there were no other
reason for assailing our foreign population. II is

ity of adopted citizens against any portion OF our
own countrymen. l do not believe, for one. that
war will be the result OF the dispute, now pending
between this country and Great Britain. give the
Administration 100 much credit for patriotism and
diplomatic skill to suppose for moment that they
are so destitute of both as TO be unable 10 settle
this question honoraby and at the same time AMIGA
bly, believe il will be so settled, and that the
greatest obstacle in the way OF such settlement is
the inordinatc ambition of certain individuals who
desire make professions of patriotism which al
some future time may enure to their own personal
advantage. The fault, trust, is not with the Ad-
minstraiion, but with the numerous would be De
mocratic candidates for the Presidency in lS45, who
are now vying with each oiher in empty threats
and high sounding professions OF patriotism. These
men. trust. will be foied in their attempt scatter
the seeds of wretchedness and misery throughout
the world
But, sir suppose they should be successful, and
this Nation should be involved in war. To what
portion of our countrymen could we look with
greater confidence than 10 the adopted citizens,
whose homes are by the side OF our own! To for
eicn arms we were deeply indebted in our Reyolu-
tionary struggle 10 the arms of adopted citizens
we should undoubtedly be deeply indebted in the
event of another war. All these sectional, narrow
questions of origin and of birthplace, would then
be forsotten-as all party considerations would,
trust, be also forgotten and the native and foreign
born citizen would unite in defending their
mon country from the invading armies OF enemies.
