him the most shameful, and reckless, and
abusive Misrepresentation. 1t has been falsely
charged that he desires to make warlike service
the essential prerequisite to naturalization,
Now, what says Scott in the passage of his
letter accepting the nomination, so shamelessly
misrepresented He says that, if elected, he
would be ready sc TO recommend or to approve of
a single alteration in our naturalization laws,
suggested by my military experience, viz; Civ
ng to all foreigners the right of citizenship who
shall faithfully serve, in time of war, one year
on board of our public ships or in our land
forces, regular or volunteer, on their receiving
IN honorable discharge from the service" Tits
"a single alterations and the common sense
force of terms and words conclusively shows
that "a single aHeration' must leave our
| naturalization laws as they now are, only Civ
| ing an additional privilege to the emigrant to

WASHINGTON March IL. 1852
Z GESTLEMENI have received your note inviting to
join you at Philadelphia in the celebration of the APP
rnaching ST. patrick's Dayan honor which regret the
pressure of business obges me to decline.
You do me but justice in supposing to feel lively
interest in ireland and her sons. Perhaps man.
If Irishmen as myself Many of them marched and
fought under my command in the of s12-J5, aud
many morethousands--in the recent war with Mexico
not of whom was ever known to turn his back upon
the enemy friend
salute you, gentlemen with my cordial respects

Now, if a man who thus frankly and publicly
acknowledges how much he owes to &c the blood
and valor'' of emigrant citizens, be a bigot and
a native American, there is no truth, honor or
gratitude in his heart.
When in the war of 1912 he stood upon the
quarter deck of British man-of- war, and saved
our soldiers of Irish origin from being shot as
traitors, by proclaiming that for every Irish
man shot, two British officers should bite the
DUST he showed large and American heart.
From the charge of native Amerieanism, then
we vindicate Scott.
LIST. By his letter of May 20, AS, to VIM E.
Robinson, in which he said: g Certainly it would
be impossible for me to recommend any measure
intended to exclude them (emigrants) from a
just and full participation in all civil and political
rights now secured to them
ID. By his glowing eulogy of the valor of en-
grant citizens yieing with native born citizens
upon the bloody fields of Mexico, andlls warm ac-
acknowledgement of how much of his fame he owed
to the former.
3D. By his proposal to enlarge the facilities
Of naturalization, by making every American
soldier an American citizen.
And in so doing we make no appeal--we merely
present vindication. Every citizen should
vote as he deems right and patriotic.
THE ELECTION RETURNS are cheering. The
wings, when examination and comparison are
made, really gain eyerywheres, and the indica-
lions are of the most encouraging character.
In Pennsylvania, Native Americanism has
spent its first malice upon the friends Of Scott,
and yet the latter are plainly, even thus early,
and in local elections, gaining upon the last
elections.
In Indiana a majority of nine thousand has
melted down to two thousand
In Ohio we are doing brayely, and the Native
Americanism of Levin and his co-adiutors in
Philadelphia, is fairly offset by the support of
naturalized citizens
