EReturning to Plague the InventOrs.'
For long time our naturalized popu-
laton have been blind followers of what
they believed TO be the Democratic party.
No pains have been spared to impress the
foreigner on his first landing in this coun-
try with the idea that the demagogus who
spend their time seeking Offices and man.
aging elections, are his real and only
friends. The object of course was 10
secure their votes; the specious name OF
Democrat aided the deception. and so
long as success attended these efforts oil
went well-the foreigner, whether Ger.
man or Irish, was taken by the hand
about eLsetion Time, and his ear filled with
specious talk and golden promises. OF
late the tune has changed; these promises
have been so often tested and found hol-
low that they no longer parSs current
Many things have occurred from time to
time in this State to open the eyes Of our
German population especially; until,
finally, the gIaring hypocrisy and in
consistency of the Nebraska bill, its i'm
pudent pretensons about popular SOY
ereignty, its yielding everything to Slave
ry, its repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and lis declared object of sustaining the
Arlstocracy against the Democracy. have
broken the last lin!; that bound them TO
the party.
We are forcibly reminded Of this
change by an article in the Cincinnati
Enquirer of yesterday. We will submit
an extract or two. 1t is headed MATTERS
for The Reflection of adopted CitizenS,'
and opens in this wise:
within the last few years the adopted
citizens of this country, or al least con-
siderable portion of them, have taken a
very extraordinary and, there can be no
doubt, very unwise course Of political
action. As their numbers have increased.
they have become clarnish, and have
sought TO make their influence felt at the
ballot.box, not as American citizens, but
as Germans and Irish. Their effort has
been to keep up distinct cases OF nation
ality among US, and to divide men in
their political organizations according to
their birth place or religion, rather than
prediction for different systems oil national
policy. Instead of acting as citizens
clothed with an American character, fu-
sing in with the great mass OF our popu.
alion, they have held themselves distinct
and apart. and have continued TO act still
in the capacity of Germans and lrish.-
When the polite al parties have made out
tickets. and presented them for the suffra.
ges of the people, they have made the
inquiry as a rule for their action, into the
nationality or religion OF those who com.

exaggerated ideas of their political impOr.
