oppressed and asylum for the exile as the recep
tacls of of foreigners be used dema
gogues as the means Of acontrong political influence
Nothing should be eaously guarded by true Ameri
can as the elective franchise If this is made free t
every foreigner whether fresh from the French galley
or the strands of Botany Bay, the wds of Hungary o
the alleys of Nankin and Canton; whether he be feoI
or gentleman, traitor exile, SO soon he de
clares an intention become American ctizeu las the
bill proyides the real Americans become dis
gusted They will soon to venerate the laws and
institutions which permit the untutored alien just landed
from emgrant ships and unable to speak word Of oul
language kill their votes at every turn Of the ballot
box Nearly twenty thousand emigrants brought "a
New York city alone during the first twelve days OF the
past month. By the provisions Of this bill the males
among these the age of twenty-one can be made
qualified voters in Nebraska Kansas in less than thirty
days He who does perceive mischief in such this
is either wully blind strangely sanguine. We make
no war on foreigners SUCH For the oppressed and the
exile in midst have all possible respect and SYM
pathy We may admire the burning patriotism Of Kos
suh the fearless zeal and glowing love of country which
animates Mitchell Meagher but the heart Of the
first is with Hungary, he plainly told us, and it is
where it should be- We would be doing injustice
apprehend, to Mitchell and his colleagues if did not
suppose that they welded to the regeneration
stability of any Government We would protect foreign
who seek shores them in their necessities
extend to them the full benefits and blessings of our
laws; but earnestly opposed to surrendering to
them the control of Tor controlling influence in) our
Government We prefer to enrust the destines and in
tegrity of American Republican Government to Anne
rican republican citizens. If the policy of the Nebraska
bill is to be extended may be in the hands Of foreign
legislators and rulers in day and generation
We have expressed views this measure " frank
y, fully and freely" according to the aerative sug
gestion of Mr. BARKsDALE. We regard its Introduction
as having been ll-sarred i-adysed movement and
we regret sincerely that it allowed to become, in
some Sort Southern test. We will not intimate, in
view solely of the terrible agitation to be apprehended
that would counenance abe the repeal of this
bill Let the Southern first seek to enlighten
themselves its provisions and probable operations and
let Southern sentiment be fully and fairly developed
The movements going on at the North warn to take
position guardedly and then to act unit at the
South For the and reasonable declarations Of
those the North who moving for repeal cherish
the most absolute detesation. We can hold no terms
with those who demand repeal in SO insulting to
Southern PRIDE aud with such atrocous declarations
The Shay rebellion the Whiskey nsurrection, the Burr
conspiracy Fllibustersm, all tolerabe, it matters
not how inherently vicious, when compared with party
who living under Constitution would organize under
banner thus inscribed:
ssThe Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law the Restora-
ton Of the Missouri Compromise; slave States;
slave Territories the Homestead for free
the Public Lands"
We yet to believe that the enlightened of the
North will endorse such monstrous treasons. G.
