siders our policy Of Naturalization q " wise"
one on that point ,wg diftsr wholly from this
gentlernanss sfs@a va consider our present
policy an ANBiss one, and would greatly re-
stictit If we had the power.
As a general thing, we think "Earopedn
Americans" or, in other words haTvPea'a
immigrants do nor show high qualities for self
government There are some few OF them
who make good citizens the country would
be far better of, If four-ffths Of them had re-
manned in Europe.
Such at least are our opinions. But why do
we refer to the letter Of Mr.. SandcrsP
Mr. Sanders is gentleman who has made
some considerable noise in the world, not only
in destroying the prospects Of Judge Douglas
for the Presidency in 1852, by his articles ou-
logistic Of that gentleman, in the Democratic
Review, but by his subsequent course, as con
sui at Londea, and his associations with Gov
ernor kossuth. He is a gentleman of very
considerable ability, and if reports be true, is
THE MAN who concocted the scheme to make
George Law, Of New York, President Of the
United States ".Sit mihi Jas audita loqui,"
He is bold man, as this effort of his sufficient
ly proves. Well, If the plan succeeds, Mr..
Law is to be the american" candidate or
in other words, the candidate Of the " Ameri-
can party"
Mr.. Sanders we believe, il now pirate
citizen, and il, in assigning to him the chief
agency in bringing Mr.. Laws name promi-
nently before the public we have done him
any injustice, we will cheerfully make the
" amende honorable" upon being SO informed
by him.
With the understanding, however above
indicated, we beg here to inquire whether it
be not rather singular fact, that the leading
friend, the Mentor Of Mr.. Law, the master Of
ceremonies in movement to make him the
candidate Of the American party" should
be Numerically opposed to the policy and
views of the American party! Mr.. Sanders,
in his letter to the t" Hard-shell meeting,
valves the privilege Of speaking in favor Of
distinguished strangers, and contents himself
with giving his views in writing.
Mr. Sanders says:
"The action of the Hard Shell meeting is i'm
portant, because they may indicate a policy that
will bring the Democracy Of New York and Of the
nation together in 1856"
Now this is a very excellent suggestion, ad
dressed to the "Hard Shell meeting" COM
,,,.od &c no,,,ooro+, who al coornt
societies" and congratulated the Democracy
Of Virginia upon their late victory over the
secret and proscriptive array Of their oppo-
nents;" but it does not seem to be very par
ticularly appropriate, when coming from man
who has taken charge Of George Law, as his
groom, and is fitting and preparing him to run
race against the "unted Democracy of the
nation in 1856!w
We don't intend, if we can help it, that the
American party Shall be jockcycd in the race
of 1866, and hence we humbly suggest that
as Mr.. Sanders is contessedly anxious that a
policy shall be indicated which will bring the
Democratic Hards and Softs together in 1856,
he is not the man to be groom or trainer for
the American candidate, and especially as he,
moreover, thinks our policy of naturalization a
" wise" one, and that European Americans
show high qualities for self-governmentl'
Verify, the American party" would be in
q bad way, with Bennett, the defender of Ro-
manism, and Sanders, the defender of Foreign
ism, to nominate and stand sponsors for. the
American canddatetn
