Here are one hundred and t,oentyJour for
eigners-most likely nine out of every ten ig-
norant and bigoted, and the ready-made tools
7 of any designing demagogue that may come
along, invested with the responsible trust OF
intelligent freemen-placed upon q level with
the children of those venerated heroes who
spent their lives and fortunes to secure our
present institutions, and without having the
faintest conception of the valuable privilege
with which they are entrusted, ready to go to
the polls and vote according to the suggestion
of Others. How else can they vote9 They
are incapable of holding political opinions
while they are ignorant of the science of re-
publican government. Fresh from the tram
mels of 1espotism, they have hardly had time
to surfeit upon the physical comforts with
which they are urrounded-comforts which
are to them really as luxuries compared with
their condition in Fatherland-and they are
called upon to rule in America.
Gan any intelligent foreigner, who has
lived long enough here TO understand and
appreciate the value of our institutions, and
to become attached to them, be willing to
see his destiny entrusted to the control of
such menu We believe there is not one but
will answer in the negative. Let the oppressed
from other climes fee TO our shores, and amid
our fourishing cities, upon orr great works,
and from our fertile plains draw a generous
support, sitting under their own vine and fig
tree, with none to modest or make afraid. But
while we would grant them all these privile-
ges--valuable to them in the highest degree,
and well worth the seeking-we must insist,
for their own as well as for our safety, that
they shall leave to Americans the privilege of
making laws, at least until such time as they
are better prepared to assist in the responsible
work.
But look to the fact with which we started
out. The same system is at work in Tennes-
see Voters are being manufactured daily to
beat the American ticket. Therefore, let every
true American be ready TO kill such votes with
two for "Sam" and his principles.
Let the Democrats remember that Il has already
been announced by the Know Nothings, that Il.
they have the Legislature they viii elect Senator
In place Of Gov. Jones.-UFiCR and A1lerioaR Of
yesterday.
Who arc ''the Know Nothings" that have
made such announcement We have seen no
announcement by any body that the Know
Nothings "will elscot Senator in place of
Gov. Jones'" WhO said it, and when and
wherel An individual here and there, may
have expressed an opinion that no matter

Is, we presume, all the foundation our leigh
bors will find upon ivestigation, for their very
positive and formal assertion. The election
of Senator does not necessarily follow from
such an expression Of opinion, or a thousand
such. The Know Nothings, we presume. win

tIcnlar man for Senator. They win not, we
iAke for granted, be lured into saeh folly, even
by this nice little russ Of the Uai0n and AMER
lean. This attempt to drive the entering
wedge Of dissension in our ranks, like all its
predecessors, is destined to prove signal fail
urea pro6Iless speculation. Try some other
