on developing exclusively foreign sympa-
thies; to return the bible to the public
schools and to oppose every measure ten
ding TO a union of church and state.
The Governor is particularly severe on
the subject of imported demagogues, red re-
publicans and others who seek their own
advancement at the expense Of the best ia
terests of the State. He urges ~ the best
plan, that foreigners should be nationalized
before they are naturalized and is opposed
10 the present easy mode of naturalization.
He holds that the foreigner is entitled to all
the blessings Of the country, but that the
nation should continue to administer the
law accordingto their own judgement, rec
ommends an amendment OF the constitution
so that the alien elective franschise shall
be restricted to q years afler naturalization,
and not to be extended then unless the al
len can read and write the English lnn-
gauge. He says that one Of his earliest
Gc,s aili be to sanction the disbandoning
OF all military companies composed Of per-
