material difference between the two. The only
remaining distinctions are the right of citi-
zen to a seat in the federal Congress, and the
right of a citizen of one State to all the priv
leges of citizen of another. 1t is clear that
in large majority of cases the first of these
rights is merely nominal. For the same reason,
when once located in particular State, the poor
emigrant has neither the means nor the inclina-
lion to remove into another; riff he should, in
most OF the northern States the same facilities
are given him to the exercise of the right of suf
rage. What then is the real difference between
the foreign unnaturalized enigrant and the ma.
tive American citizen? If there be any evil re-
suits flowing fromthe introduction Of foreigners
they must be due to State policy which in.
vests the foreigner with the highest political
franchise; they can surely not be attributed to
the naturalization laws, which, iffairly enforced,
would effectually prevent any such results.
We are not prepared to say how far State
may have the constitutional right thus TO inter
pose in bestowing these privileges upon unna
turalized citizens within her borders We only
doubt the policy, and we believe if it were
the fixed determination of all the States to
make their legislation correspond to the provi
sions of the uniform federal law, many if not
AL the evils which result from our foreign popu.
lation would be remedied. There is great
distinction between the State legislation which
invests resident alien with the power to hold
real estate within her territory, and that which
invests him with the power to exercise the cleo
tive franchise. In the first case, all the evil, if
exclusively to the State in which the law exists.
1t cannot by possibility affect the interests
of the United States. But in the latter case,
where the right of suffrage is given to
foreigner, it is fraught with bad consequen.
ces to the whole Union. If by State legisla-
ton the foreigner may vote for delegates to
the lower house of the State legislature, then
by the Constitution Of the United States he is
capable of voting for representatives in Con-
gress, and for the electors Of President and Vice
President. Thus the case might easily arise,
that the foreign vote would control Presiden-
tial election, and the singular anomaly would
exist Of the Chief Magistrate of confederacy
holding his position from those who were not
citizens of the government
We appeal then to those who are loudest in
their dennnciations of foreign influence to apply
the remedy where the disease exists-to reform
the State legislation which confers upon for
eigner, all the rights of citizen. Ifthis be
done we have no fear that our naturalization
laws will not be amply sufficient to check the
evil which is SO much apprehended from the
rapid immigration of foreigners to our country.

THE BARGAIN MADE-THE FUSION
COMPLETED-AUB


Auburn, SO long celebrated in poetry, has
now become notable in politics. 1t has lately
been the scene ftwo conventions of different
names, but like sympathies, and has the credit
being the place at which the great and long
talked Of political fusion was consummated
1t will be remembered by our readers, that
the Wing convention that assembled at SYRIA
cuse concocted ticket mongrel in some re-
spects, but strictly homogeneous in the main
element-Freesoilism That ticket and the
platform that accompanied it, were gotten up
by astute managers and adroit wire workers
They abounded in springes, snares and pitfalls
for they were so contrived as to catch and hold
fast all rowing, fugitive and proAigate poll
ticians. That convention was composed Of
men of every hue and stripe-of Silver Greys,
Sewardifes, Temperance Wings, antiTemper.
ance Wings, Know-nothing Wings and anti
Know nothing Wings. Yet all were trapped,
taken and ensnared by the platform and the
ticket. But the ambition of the managers and
wire.workers of that body was big ambition.
It did not limit itself to that particular conven-
ton. 1t looked without and beyond. Itkncw
that it was essential to success that its ticket
and platform should be approved and adopted
by the fusion or anti Nebraska convention that
adjourned from Syracuse to Auburn, and by the
convention Of the "Free Democracy held
also at Auburn. 1t even aspired to win the
favor and support of the State temperance con-
vention. Its success has, at least, been COM
mensurate with its merits. The fusion con-
vention adopted as their own, and with great
cordially, the entire Wing ticket. The "Free
Democracy" THAT is--a branch of the Free
solers) also adopted, as their own, the Wing
candidate for governor-Myron H. Clark, but
added to the ticket three new candidates of
their own.
We thus have an absolute fusion of the Sara
toga Fusionists and the Wing convention, and
qualified fusion of the Wings and those who
call themselves the Free Democracy" The
Wing party now commences the campaign with
the unholiest alliance that New York has yet
known. None can now deny that the New
York Wings are thoroughly and altogether abo-
litionized. If any one doubts it, he has but to
read the platform of the Wing convention which
we published some days since, and the platforms
of the Fusion and Free Democracy conven-
tons which we publish this morning. These
three are one. They have amalgamated, and
are carrying on their unhoy crusade under the
same black banner of Abolition. The best of
them have now thrown off all DISCUSSES and
stand before the country, not as griefstricken
penitents, but as hardened profigates glorying
in their shame.
This coalition is marked by circumstances Of
such total proaigacy and shameless iniquity as
to excite inexpressible scorn and contempt

D9- MISUNDERSTANDING MEETING took place
on Wednesday evening and was numerously
attended. 1t was gotten up on quite grand
scale. The speeches Of the various orators
were elucidated with rockets, aided by tar bar
rels, and emphasized by the roar of cannon.
Music and transparencies also added their at
fractions. There was but little spontaneous
enthusiasm, although there was no lack of noise
when the formal hurrahs were called for. To
the credit the opponents of the meeting, many
OF whom were present, be it said, they deported
themselves as became orderly and welldsposed
citizens. They created no kind OF disturbance,
and manifested no manner of disapprobaton,
however much they may have felt. They took
a generous and gentlemanly revenge on the
Know-nothings who broke up the meeting at
Carusi's. They have set an example that we
hope will be followed at all future meetings in
this city.
