Mr.. Charles lien, in his speech before the Coun-

The 1Egis knows that the above statement is en-
tirey false but hopes to make some of our nat
uralized oreign citizens believe it, and for this rea
son it keeps repeating it. 1t hopes, yainly we be-
leve, to induce some of our foreign fellow -citizens
to vote in favor of Whigism by exciting prejudice
IN their minds against the friends Of freedom Judge
Allen did not in his speech seek the disranchise.
ment of any man, and the Agis knows it. He wants
TO see every man in the Stale fairly represented. He
wants 10 see emigrants naturaized and made voters
SO that they may vote for whom they please. He does
not want TO see bunker Wings who are elected by 9th
er bunker Whigsstting in the Legislature as the NOM
nal representatives Of our foreign population, when
at the same time that same foreign population. on
which this representation is based is excluded from
the elective franchise When foreigner is natnr-
allied, he ceases TO be foreigner He is then an
! American citizen, and votes in his own right and
he votes for whom he peases. When foreigner is
not naturalized he has no yote and il is therefore
an outrage upon that mans feelings and ideas, be-
sides an injustice for Wing to pretend to represent
him. 1t is adding insult to injury Judge Allen ex
pressiy said, give our foreign population votes, and
then you can have them represented but, do not let
men legisate as Their representatives when they have
not the elective franchise.

against Judge Allen.
