born, or under what sectarian creed they
worshiped. The experience of '76, said he,
the war of 1912, and our war with Mexico,
has settled the question that those who have
fed from the tyranny and oppression of the
world, and have made their homes in the 80
land of the free" have as strong arms and as
brave hearts-have as much veneration and
love for the land that has given them shell
ter---as though they were born upon the soil;
and hence, let me assure you all, whether nat
tssye or adopted, that neither your Commander
| in Chief, nor his Adjutant General, will have
no official act of his pointed at as discriminat-
/ ing against any man or sect of men on account
of their birth place their religion. For this,
continued he, is the country where merit alone
must continue to give value to the man, or
the blood of those who achieved the liberties
we enjoy, has been shed in vain. 1t is the
country where God is worshiped according to
| the dictates of the conscience of those who
bow in His presence;-the country where err
ror of religion or politics may be tolerated If
truth be left free to combat it;-the country,
in short, where the life of fanaticism is short,
and religious intolerance, whether practiced
by Protestant or Catholic, falls by its own
hand, andis despised soon as dead. The
General concluded by thanking his military
friends kindly for the fattering notice taken
of him, and then escorted by the Band, the
committee of reception, and a few personal
friends, retired to his Hotel When he re-
fired, the Battalion gave three cheers for the
Commander in Chief, and three for his clO-
quent Adjutant General, and then after fir
ing thirteen rounds, in honor of our glorious
old commonwealth, disbanded.
Upon the whole the affair was one of much
interest, and calculated to have a most happy
effect upon the military spirit of our citizen
soldiers In connection with this, we have
the pleasure of announcing that after due ex-
animation of the matter, the Adjutant Gen
eral has concluded to grant the application o.

Things to be Remem bered.

During Gen. Washington's administration
law was enacted by Congress, with his ap-
probation, granting the rights of naturaliza-
ton and citizenship to Foreigners after re-
sidence of two years in the country. This
was altered by the Federal administration OF
the elder Adams, who succeeded Washington,
to fourteen years! But when Mr.. Jefferson,
the great Apostle of Democracy. came into
power in 1901, the time of probation was re-
duced to FIVE years, where it has ever since
remained In his first Message to Congress,
Mr. Jefferson said:
/ cannot omit recommending a revisal OF
the laws on the subject of naturalization Con-
sidering the ordinary chances of human life,
denial of citizenship under a residence of
fourteen years is denial to great portion
OF those who ask it, and controls policy
pursued from their first settlement by many
of these States, and still believed of conse-
quence to their posterity. And shall we re-
fuse the unhappy fugitive from distress that
hospitality which the savages of the wilder
ness extended to our fathers arriving in this
land? Shall oppressed humanity find no asy-
lum on this globe? The Constitution, in
deed, has wisely provided that, for admission
to certain offices of important trust, resi-
dence shall be required sufficient to develop
character and design. But might not the
general character and capabilities of a citizen
be safely-communicated to every one mani
testing a bona fde purpose of embarking his
life and fortunes permanently with us.
On this great and broad Democratic plat
form the country has securely rested and pros
pered for fifty years-and now, after the
lapse Of half century, are the proscriptive,
intolcrant Federal doctrines of old John
Adams sought to be revived in all their hated
and bloated deformity, by batch of corrupt,
unprincipled demagogues, who would, if they
had the power, trample the Constitution of the
Republic under foot, if so be that, upon its
ruins they might crawl into power.
James Pollock, the Wing and know-No-
thing candidate for Governor, is one of these
miserable, rovelling demagogues-and it is
FOR the people of Pennsylvania to pronounce
their verdict of condemnation upon him at
the ballot boxes on the second Tuesday OF
October That they will do so, no reasonable
man can doubt for a moment. They turned
their backs upon the elder Adams with loathing
and disgust, and they will do the same with
the contemplate demagoguc who is following
in his footsteps.

The Fusionists Banked.

By the following letter from Benjamin Rush
Bradford, Esq, the Native American candi-
date for Governor, it will be seen that that

clans to sacrifice him and the party he repre-
