Ole Bull.
We are gratifed to learn that Ole Bull, the
vioinist has made formal declaration, before
the United States Commissioner in Philadelphia,
of his intention to become a citizen of the United
States. We believe his Norwegian colony is to be
in that State We doubt not he has made wise
and profitable investment, and devised scheme
that will at once bless many of his own country
men and the State to which he conducts them.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says, that this great
privilege might be rendered the more sacred he
desired that the ceremony might take place in
the venerated Hall of Independence.
When Mr. Pitt read to him that part of the
declaration of intentions, which required him to
swear allegiance to the United States, aad aban-
don all iealty to the King Of Norway and Sweden
the violinist put his hand upon his own heart,
and, in the most impressive manner, said:
. / desire to be deemed worthy Of 80 great q
privilege, and shall remit efforts to merit it.
| have never sworn allegiance to the King Of
Norway and Sweden, nor to any other Potentate
nor have bowed the knee to any but my God !"
pointing upward, and his face beamiug with all
that he felt within him. Il shall value the
privilege of citizenship above every other earthly
object, and shall endeavor to introduce hundreds
OF thousands of my countrymen to SO great a
boon, that they may also feel the great difference
between being citizens Of this glorious republic,
in the full enjoyment of liberty, and that state of
existence in which they now find themselves.

Foreigners not Allowed to Vote

In 1888 the Locofocos of Concord, New Hamp-
shire, apprehending some danger at the ensuing
municipal election, thought to gain some votes
by granting the elective franchise to foreign-born
inhabitants, whether nvturalized or not OF the
twenty-three who voted seventeen voted the
Wing ticket. This infamed the Democracy to
such pitch that they passed an act which de-
clared, THAT no alien shall be entitled to vote
at any town meeting.
Approved July 4, 1888.

So that, in New Hampshire-the genuine De-
mocratic New Hampshire, foreigners are treated
worse than negroes, who are allowed to rote and

Betting on Elections.

Our counsels are against this practice, for rea-
sons of both morality and policy; and we are
glad to perceive that the New York Tribune, earn
estly opposes it. That paper says:
For several years the Sham Democracy car
ried this city by the money which Wings were
allured into betting with them. The plan of
operations was this: The managers would bet MS
much as they thought necessary--say $780, 000-
in such sums as they could pick up, and then 20
to desperate, unprncipled men and tell them
We have 81 900 bet on this election. Help us
win and you shall have 500 Of it !; or any other
sum that that they thought proper to give. Thus
four or five hundred reckless politicians were
virtually told Get in ten or fifteen illegal votes,
each of you, and you shall have 500 for your
dcxterity.' And thus the Wings were repeatedly
beaten by frauds for which they were made to
pay the entire cost Had there been no bets
made on the election of 1914, Now York would
have voted for Henry Clay and elected him.
Gigantic frauds defeated him and the basis of
these frauds was betting
1.-The purblind, the timid, the incredulous,

The uprising Of the people in his behalf, within
the last three weeks, has been unprecedented.
The enthusiasm of his supporters is still on the
increase the confidence Of success, even among
those who believed from the first, gains force
daily He can only be beaten by corruption and
fraudulent voting; and these can only be got up
on a sufficiently gigantic scale through betting
Whoever makes q bet on the result contributes adi
rcctLy to corrupt the canuaSs and defeat Gen. Scott
What Wing ~W deliberately do Mat?"
We ask our Wing friends to give their serious
attention to the above, and to avoid betting. At
best it is but gambling, but it is also attended by
effects disastrous to our interests.
We think it was DR.. johnson who said that
betting was the FOOLS argument; but it appears
