labore. flying from the burdens OF monopoes and class
Legislation. or lovers Of freedom escaping from the re-
lgious and political expressions of the Old World AS
natural consequence, such men join the democratic
party 10 Europe they have enough Of the prolec-
uon which the rich extend to the poor-enough OF labor
crushed to The earth by the weight of favored classes
enough OF opinion fettered by the minions of CEN
uazaon and tyranny; and they will not join The wings
IN their efforts to concentrate all power 10 the hands OF
The federal government to build up pampered interests
around H. TO give up the poor the care Of the rcb and
to yield up labor 10 the tender merces OF incorporated
capital This accounts for the hostility which General
Scott Mr. Seward. and the wing party generally bear to-
wards our adopted citizens. and the readiness with which
that party has always united with the native Americans
who wish to extend the privileges of citizenship to
but those born in the United States
Mr.. Seward is the leader OF the Scott party
which IS attempting to msead the Germans Irish and
others OF foreign nativity. with professions of confidence
and esteem, and TO bride them by vague promises oil
public lands and which is insulting the Catholic portion
OF them by appeals 10 their religious feelings intended

their votes to candidate who wishes to prohibit them
from voting at all until they have served twelve months

tends directly TO subve that article Of the constitution
which guarantees religious freedom by means OF Pro-
teslant and Catholic struggle, which must repeat

the mob in Philadelphia. Under such circumstances, il
becomes the duty Of every good citizen to warn the peo

citizens Of foreign birth. by exposing the views Of its
candidate, witnessed by his desire to deprive them Of
the right Of suffrage until they have served twelve
months in the army navy and of the esteem in which
they held by Mr. Seward the leader OF that portion
of the wing party which trumphed at Baltimore, wit
messed by his declaration that the foreign m1ration
nuisance, and that he wished TO send Germans,
Irish, and others Of foreign birth, to the South return
eargoss for shipments Of free negroes from Virginia.
