The Old Liners in a Rage.

The Old LINERS IN mage.
The animosity and bitter virulence with
which the Democratic party used to assail
everything appertaining to Whiggery, was
supposed in those days to be utterly 'nercellG-
be by anything that had been or could ever
be in the same line. But many of those same
Wings have lived to be abused in manner
by the side of which the old villifcation was
but as a summers calm by the side of a win
ter's clustering day. One cause of this ex-
ceeding violence is contained in the fact, that
this American party has touched the DeDe"7

cal party, before they could understand our
1nguage much less our institutions, and have
beheld these foreigners annul the votes of men
who were born Under the stars and stripes,
until their patience is exhausted. They have
how taken bold stand against this kind Of
proceedings and against that species of dema-

down in this State and in that State for its
advocacy of certain fascally principles, just as
"the people" have often done, and Democracy
would be patient. Its avorite tenets might
be assailed, its most respected leaders de-
nounced, and even the Administration in
which it rejoices treated with annihilating
contemplated Democracy would still talk
about Jefferson the Constitution and Union,
and be itself But to touch it where its strength
lies, where bribery, corruption and deceit
never failed to secure valuable aid-to touch
the foreign vote=that is an objectionable of
fence, of which only "scoundrels," "assassins''
and ''murderers" would be guilty
Now the American party cares nothing
about the anti-American party's rage, They are

any foreign born American citizen shall be
taken away from him, and that while every

thousands of Americans have risen in theil
might to demand these rights-and it is VAN
for these anti-Americans in heart and soul Al
in politics, to plead with the old Wings anc
the old Democrats in these ranks of patriots
tothrow down their arms, and by joining tn,
"DNmocratic party" bow their necks to for

whine a'ound the feet of Germans and frisl
to secure Seir votes. That day has passed
and we ferve+ly trust never to come agail

their old party aElations to preserve Ameri
ca to Americans.
