Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1852-08-05
THURSDAY MORNING. JULY 60, 1852.

Owe neither know nor whether Gen. Scott
wrote the communication referred TO not. We do
know, however that, whatever opinions he may have
had in relation amendment OF the naturalization
laws heretofore he now saws that he does not desire
other change than give the right OF citizenship 10 all
such may have served their adopted country during
the existence OF war That Is his true position Gov
Wright and the Sentinel know II TO be so; and when
they the contrary they that which
they know TO be uutrue.-IRdiana Journal
yes He has changed. That hobby not strong
enough carry the hero of hundred battles the
Presidency, and change, sudden change, has come
over him. Eight years ago he drew up bill which he
submitted to the public, in which he proposed:
To erelHds al alisas Jorsrsr from the right 10 cote
an any VHSiie sleetioR Thgfsrsr e<esPt-
"Such aliens who shall have served two years in the
army navy"
proposition infinitely worse than the alien laws of
old John Adams We hold that the man who would
deliberately avow and put forth such principles, is
totally unfit to be President Of the United States Mr..
Buchanan, one of the purest patriots in the land has
never been mentioned candidate for Office without
being charged with having been federaist in 1911;
although denied that for the last forty years he
has been an unwavering Democrat. w. R. King is
charged with having voted for Bankrupt law in 1927
although is admitted that he voted against the Bank
rupt of 1S43 Under the Whg practice the statute
erat. Once federalist always federalist is tseir
doctrine. But the deliberate opinions of Gen. Scott
expressed the subject of naturalization eight years
ago, be taken for nothing He has changed says
his aatulent admirers Had these monstrous Anti Re-
publican sentiments been the 'hasty" ll-digesed opin
ions Of youth and nexperionce then there would have
been some excuse. Bot they deliberately penned
at the age Of sixty years after he had served in the
war of 1912, and the Black Hawk and Florida wars
These infamous doctrines cannot be expunged liom
the platform Of Gen Scott and the Wing party, by the
cry Of change. The Wing editors and Wing orators,
taking their cue from Greedy may giUs the Iis but
that viii not avail The proposition is simply this No
man not born American soil has any right a vote,
a voice. or even to "think" public affairs. We may
invite the Meaghers, the o'Bnens, the Mitehes, and
all the Irish patriots to seek asylum in our land but
they and their children who may have been nnfortu
nate as to be born abroad according to Gen ScotIs
doctrines must live in state Of total political dslran
chsement, unless they would citizenship by
ing ia the army or navy during the time Of war, one
year. But thank Heaven, Gen. Scott President
carry out his dOclrines and thanks to the
honest patriotic and hearted Democracy he
will be. But he has changed say the Wings. We ask
the question-is there voter in Indiana who would
ssPport Gen. Scott for the Presidency entertaining such
opinions nowl We think there is not Then would
it not be better select the whose opinions
always rightl If so, for Frank Pierce, whose
reputation there is no stain Of native Americanism.
