4 The democratic party, under the lead of JEFFER
! SON. acquired by advocating repeal of the Alien
/ and Sedtion laws popularity in the country which
it has never lost. A wise and prevalent change o
the policy of the general government towards for
eign born emigrants characterized the admlnlstra
| ton of THOMAS JEFFERSON In his first annual mes
4 sage he recommended to Congress the adoption o.
naturalization laws calculated to attract intelligent
emigrants from all portions of Europe. The demo.
cratic party, during the first session OF Congress al
ter JEFFERsoNs election to the presidency lost no
4 time in repeating those Infamous and uneenstltu-
tional Alien and Sedition laws by which the first
native American party in this country opposed the
| friendless strangers of every CLINE.
| The liberal, humane and republican policy OF
JEFFERSON towards foreign born citizens was
initiated by MADISON and tended greatly to increase
the emigration to the United States. Thousands OF
useful men hocked to this country. The repeal OF
the original naturalization laws, which required a
residence of fifteen years previous to naturalization
took place during JEFFERsoNs administration.
! The war of 1912 declared and conducted by
| the Democratic party mainly for the purpose OF
protecting foreign born citizens from the British
pretense that Engishmen could not get rid OF their
| allegiance. This doctrine was, as we have seen,
the popular with several leading federaStS VINO

Wings of that day and accursed
and all Native Americans, Yankee towards and New
England parsons denounced the war, Mr.. MADISON
and the foreign born citizens, IN the style in
which the war with Mexico was abused. The Wing
party not only opposed the war for the defence OF
our English born citizens but called convention
to abuse and vlify the authors of the war and to
burn blue lights for the enemy The convention is
pretty generally known as the Hartford Conven-
ton, and composed of a varied assortment OF
Wings, federalists, traitors, Yankee demagogues
and parsons, every man OF whom richly deserved
hanging. In this convention, the proceedings OF
which constitute the most nefarious chapter OF our
political history, there was again manifested the
most settle and deep rooted hostility to the foreign
born citizen. The sentiment which bazed in 1877,
which was embodied in the Alien and Sediton laws
of 1926, and which crushed in 1900 and 1901,
burnt tiercely in 1912.
The following extract, from the proceedings of
the Hartford Convention, will be worth the perusa
of every Democrat who contemplates les ring to
any other political organigzation than the party of
MADISON and JEFFERSON:
".ScrenthLy-The easy admission of naturalized
foreigners, places of trust honor or profit opera
ting inducement to the malcontent subjects OF
the old world to come to these States, III quest OF
executive patronage, and to repay 1t by an AFFECT
devotion to executive measures.
"Another amendment, subordinate in Importance,
but still in high degree eXpedien relates to the
exclusion of foreigners hereafter arriving in the Uni
ted States from the capacity of holding offices of
trust, honor or profit
THAT the stock of population already in these
States is amply sufficient to render this nation in
due time sufficiently great and powerful is not con-
trovertible question. Nor will it be seriously pre-
tended that the national deficiency in wisdom, arts
science, arms, or virtue, needs to be repenished
from foreign countries. Still it is agreed, that
liberal police should offer the lights of hospitality
and the choice of settlement, to those who are dis
posed to visit the country. But why admit to a
participation in the government aliens who no
parties the compact who ignorant of the nature
of institutions, and have no stake In the welfare
of the country but what is recent and transitory-
1t is surely privilege sufficient, to admit them al
ter due prohibition to become citizens, for all but
political purposes. To extend it beyond these linz
its is encourage foreigners to come to these States

Here we have Ndtirism with vengeance
Neither the Native American party of 1914, nor its
nameless offspring of 1854, can boast of much pro-
gress since the DAYS of the Hartford Convention of
1912 Every odious feature of the modern creed
to have been embodied in that of the traitors and
towards, who met in Hartford to plot and conspire
against their country in time of Really Ma
tive Americanism, although possessing long pedi
gree, will hardly venture to boast of its disreputa
Bile ancestors-Its blood has certainly coursed
through very dirty and unclean channels ever since
its BIRTH in the convention of 1887.
Natiysm is foul and ugly eruption, that has
broken out upon the body of the Federal Wing
party every twenty thirty years for the last six
ty odd years. Democracy found cure for the
disease in 1887, in 1S0O in 1884, and it will do
in 1855 and 1856. The swilling Senator of Della +
is match for those who fight for the great prin
ciples of JEFFERSON and MADISON The influence
and opinions of such dead statesmen ample,
in the Old dominion. against the Vaccinations of
twenty thousand midnight politicians in disguise and
without name Temporary defeat-if defeat were
possbe-in the defence of the largest civil and
igious liberty guaranteed to all by the Constitution,
would but nerve the Democratic party to more Wig
orous and determined struggle. God never intend
ed this fair land to be ruled by people, who register
their DEGREES for the destruction Of the Constitution

Such is the history of the great Democratic party
