Opposition To any change in the naturalization
laws or any hostility the increase of the popnla
tim of this country by emigration from Europe or
elsewhere-a due regard for the recent compromise
acts. and particularly to the Fugitive Slave law.
All these measures. with many others which have
been already published in columns. are identl-
fed with the success and of General Pierce.
They are principles and measures which will now
as they have heretofore done-bind these STATES In
closer union and lead this country into harmo
n.y. more concentrated action more power, and more
glory as republican nation, than ever yet seen
in all past time
Such are the first views which we can take of this
contest. now approaching between the two great
canddates-of the principles linked with their sew
eral names and of the results to The future history
of the country growing out of these principles. Gen
Scott is military leader-a man of high honor in

that his country is his property, and that other
man has right to be candidate for the Presiden-
cy but himself. He is, moreover. entirely in the
hands of cotere of the most dangerous demagogues
that ever controlled any party, Or afflicted any coun-
trv His election would lead to evils of the most
dreadful kind--paralyze industry and strike with
alarm both South and North at the progress of those
principles which only tend to the alienation of the
two great sections. General Pierce. the contra

courage in the day of battle. and of wisdom in the

the propriey and glory of his country He is GER
tainly the man for the occasion and there is every
appearance. from the delight with which the

throughout the country by all parties that he is the

instead of bec,ming citizens, they return to China
with all the fruits of their abors To this message
several Chinamen-Sam Wo & Co.. Tom Wo & Co..

the Chinese mode OF form of attestng oath-on
ordinary occasions by burning piece of yellow pa

a fowl. They next vindicate themselves from the
charge of being accustomed to falsehood, and with
