paupcrs and criminals exceeded that of ma
tive pauperS and criminals, although the nj
Hrc population was scEea tunes greater than
the foreign. What would be your feelings il

and to this extent among yourselves If the
quantum of paupcrs and vice which existed
among You, was the proportion of a popula

such an argument seems to me to estimate
very humbly the understandings of those to
whom it is addressed. In the open, manly
defence Of your rights and liberties of that
glorious Constitution bcqucathcd to you by
your fathers-of your homestcadS and your
householl-in the defence of these against
open and manly assault, you are corn potent
to resist not only the foreigners among us,
but a world in arms. God forbid thaC one

man unworthy Of citizenship, who is adj
mltted to its privileges, is an enemy to your
camp-a moral lcper, spreading contagion

an association; for however stained with
crime, the stamp OF citizenship makes them
politically part of yourselves. Can you bear
