We never desire foreigners TO interfere in the
slightest desree with our domestic questions But
when they come to settle among us-when their
lungs begin to he elated By the pure cir OF liberty
when they take root 10 our sell, We consider them
a. of ourselves, as members Of the same family,
and expect them to honor the same principles
for which some Of them suffered in their
ORIGINAL homes, and which all OF them hope
to etiov in reaching this country. Among
.II others we expect to fnd German immigrants
the soundest as regards political liberty Aside
from their agricultural aud industrial sail and
labor. the Germans seem to he in general moro ia-

Insword, these German devotses ofpatriarchsl
bondage deserve to pass in some way or other
through purifying fire, through some political
and social purgatory, before becoming christened
in the sacred name of Freedom. Their seryile and

less tools of cruelty and tyranny.
