Of expedency or, you may say, OF duty. Upon
the latter point Il Is easy 10 understand that two
opinions may prevail who belong 10 American
organizations believe our first duty 10 70 our coun-
try and It's children, and We may possibly deem Il
expedient to confer privileges which are liable 70
abuse. $500
contend that we have the fulfrght 70 withhold
them. and that, therefore, If majority of the
American people think proper to alter or abolish
the naturalization laws, II Is their nalenable privi-
lege to do 80, and their motives may not be inn
pugned as inimical to the of civil liberty and
human rights ! am satisfied to rest upon this as
sertion, without following you through your long
and learned, If not lucid, dissertation. That both
parties have been to blame for the abuses of the
naturalization laws, and for the insulting and de
grading spectacle of a foreign influence In Ameri-
can elections Is true, and II is time that the cor
receive should be applied; and the American Or
CARNATIONS % which you 80 bitterly object appear
to me the only remedy for the evil The dangers
which you seem TO apprehend from these organi-
cations originate in ignorance of their true objects
and designs.
II Is impossible, after the scathng ordeal which
men have undergone through the political changes
of our day at the hands of party to call together
so suddenly such tremendous masses as know
nottingham seems to WELD, without combining in
congruous elements; nor are great popular move
ments ever free from error but protesting to know
EQneLufng OF AmerlcaH OrBhulZutiOHb, uiA bhtlh-
fed that never, In any age or country, was such a
body Of men called together, who acted in concert
with motives so pure and objects so holy--so free
from bigotry and prejudice, 80 devoted to national
independence and the true interests OF universal
liberty. They may be assailed or maligned by POI
litica demagogues or the minons of ecclesiastical
tyranny, whose intrigues they battle, and whose
unholy Vaccinations for power they defeat; but al
long as the sentiments Of the heart are more true
to nature than the sophistres of the tongue--as
long as the teachings Of Washington hold an
influence over the American mnd--as long
as the love of country Is the predominating SEN
timent with Americans--so long will these
organizations march onward, prosperous and tri-
unphant until their mission 10 accomplished In the
perfection of our national Union, the peace and
harmony Of the States, the overthrow Of dema-
gogusm, and the destruction of political and reli-
gious intolerance. They will increase In numbers,
and be perfected In strength and unity Of action,
until they embrace the pure and noble OF our land
and do not despair, sir, when their purposes be-
come more fully developed, their objects more
clearly understood, to see even you, the sometime
champion Of the Wing party, whose battle cry,
the union fthe Wings for the sake of the Union,
is even now their shibboleth--even you, whose
great energies and undoubted talents now taxed
with the herculean task Of cemening the discor-
dant elements Of the so-called Democratic party
fighting with renewed ardor, for purer faith, un-
der the banner Of the great American party. Re-
