~ AAhO" VI avn
There is an old document, not rev.
erenccd so much now as formerly,
which, nevertheless, embodics a sys>
tenn of Government the best that man
has yet devised. We mean the Com
stitution of the United States. When
it was adopted and signed by one
GEORGE WASHINGTON, who presided
over that body Of delegates that fran.
cd it, it was regarded as liberal in its
provisions as it was wise and comprc-
siye in its general scope. Even to this
day the Constitution has not been
thought prosciil tive or illibcral. On
the contrary we are accustomed to re.
fer to it as offering to the oppressed of
all nations and climcs the boon Of polit-
ical freedom and equal and exact JUS
ticc. Yet, if modern progrcsSivcs are
right, the Constitution is anti-Rcpub>
llcan and ahti-Amcrcan. 1t makes
the accident Of birth" a test of 20
litical proferment 1t dcprives a for>
eign born citizen of privileges which
native born cnioy 1t requires tests
of the foreign born citizens which it
does not require Of native born =
Shall we not down with a Consti,
tuition that exacts and rrescribes such
illiberal conditions as the following -
1st, No person except natural
born citizen or citizen Gfthe United
States Gin 1887 shall be eligible to the
Office of President--That he must have
been fourteen years a resident within
the United States. Cart, ., Sec. 5. }
2nd, The Vice President of the
United States must have the same
qualifications as the President. Cart.
-, Sec. 50
Sd, No person shall be a Represen-
tative in Congress not 25 years of age
sand been scren gears a citizon Of tie
United Stotes." Art. /, Sec. >. ca
man may have been 10 years in the
country,-but ifhc has not been a citi-
zen years he cannot be in Congress J
4th, "No person shall be Senator,
who shall not have attained the age of
80 years, and been nine gears ciH-
zen Of the United .States."
9th, The Commander-in> Chief of
the Army and Navy of the United
States, and of the Militia of the
several States, must be a native born
American citizen. Cart. 2, Sec. o.
9th, This native born citizen of the
United States, the President, can alone
make Treaties, by and with the ad-
vice Of Senators, who must have been
citizen 0 years. Cart. ., Sec. p
Thus, in 1887, our constitutional
fathers reserved to an American born
citizen, the executive power of the
United States, and prescribed from its
halls of Congress, all Senators not cit.
izcns nine years old, and all Represcn-
tativcs not citizens I years. Thus,
too, it reserved the Army and Navy
of the United States---the sword Of au
thority-and the high treaty making
power, that is, all intercourse with for
eign nations, to native born citizen,
to the utter exclusion of foreigners.
1t is well the Fathers of the Repub-
lie do not live in these "atter days"
Their descendants, who are actuated
by their sentiments or governed by a
spirit kindred to that which actuated
them, are stigmatized as "IIindoos,"
and are in danger of being butchcrcd
at elections

We have had some cholera here on the Mississippi

was supposed TO have died with the disease. The
next morning was taken with severe vomiting, ac-
companied with coldness Of the eItromities. Warm
covering and hot applications failed TO restore warm h.
Ny wife's family who had used the Pain Killer with
success during the cholera season in Buffalo in lS4s,
advised me 10 take it, ! took two doses at intervals
Of Is minutes; a fine perspiration ensued, and the
next day, barring little weakness, well, and
have been since.
II may have been attack Of Ague, but whether
Ague or Cholera IL answered my purpose.
Since my recovery, ! find that several Of our citi-
zens have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for Cho-
lers, and pronounced IL good. therefore take plea
