| ton 1T the policy OF the American people.
Her Legislature has just passed a most
wholesome and beni6cent law, which has
received the signature of her Democratic
Governor. It is one imperatively demand
ed by :he people, and in every State Of the
Union, or else submission to the iron rule of
a foreign despOtism worse than the Reign
Of Terror. The law is, that hereafter none
but nativs-born citizens shall hold office in
that good Democratic commonwealth
This law will commend itself to the univer-
sal favor Of all who love Republicsnism
and hate the midnight Vaccinations, and
.rsGeheries, and trsGsons, Of the sworn Sag
NIGHTS, organized in different sections Of
our country to control our elections and de-
stroy our institutions, by electing none but
the hireling instruments of Popes and
Priests. To do this has been fully deter
mined upon in this county, in enc Of their
midnight assemblies, where it was decided
that this Fail none should be nominated for
Office in this county but such as were will
ing to smear that, in all emergencies they
will advance the interests Of foreigners and
support them under all circumstances. OF
course, broken down political hacks, who
have been on all sides where they suppos-
ed there was chance Of getting suck at
the public seat, stood ready TO pledge them
selves to anything however humiliating'
and nti-American, 70 get the influence OF
the friends of the Pope. Young men, des-
titate Of all principle, and much less char
acter, except trading in " Swamp Lands"
we're also ready to do anything. no matter
how mean, or craven, il they could get q
chance to crawl into the county treasury to
plunder that and enrich themselves at the
public expense.-if they could save enough
to get rich after passing through all their
BacchanaIian rows and vicious lives.
In Maine, under this law, there will not
be quite SO much trucking hereafter, nor
will there be so mush "base bowing of the
knee, that thrift may follow fawning."
ANOTHER MAINE LAwIi
In quick succession. another good law
comes from the Democratic State of the
East The Legislature has passed q law,
that hereafter, no foreigner shall vote at
any election in that State unless he has
three months before the day Of election,
registered his naturalization papers with the
Judges of the election, in the district in
which he offers to vote. This is one Of the
very best laws ever passed, as it will pre-
vent an immense amount of fraud on the
part of foreigners. Under this law there
will be no such thing as voting half dozen
times on the same mans papers, as has
been frequently done. and was done in this
very town al the late election; no less than
three Irishmen having voted on one mans
papers. This Democratic scoundrelism in
Maine is abolished, and should and must be
everywhere, if we wish to preserve the pu-
rity of the ballot-box. We hope Ohio will
not be far behind Maine.
AND STILL ANOTHERl!l
The same Legislature has passed anoth-
er law which prohibits all State Courts
from naturaIizing foreigners. If they wish
to beceme citizens they must go to the U.
States Courts. All right. and good Law,
which should prevail in every State in the
Union. a.
ANOTHER GOOD LAwl
The Legislature of New York has pass
ed the church property bill, SO called, which
