American party cannot exist long evidently contains
within itself the elements Of It's destruction The main
body Of the party held together By the leaders and she

deprive those who have already here and qualified
themselves American citizens, upon e filth Of Aneri
'aes who have formed American connexions reared
American families and become wholly and solely iden-
fed with American nteress is manifest unjust to de-
prve such persons of rights hitherto exercised by them
70 make any distinction whatever between them and
