america FOR THE AMERICANS

"hMCniCh rOH The AMERICANS"
Setting aside, says the Baltimore Patriot,
false CLOSES and mis-epresenta lions, the lead
ing principles of'the Americans, If we under.
stand them, are correct. We are no friends TO
into''rance 10 any shape, but while defending
freedom Of conscience, we will at all times,
Indignantly repudinte any clerical interference
with politics at large, with our public school
system, or our local legislature. As respects
the naturalization laws they are acknowledged
by all sensible men to be extremely defective,
and to requlte such aradlcal change as shall,
for the future, prevent a largo foreign vote
from being fraudulenty brought forward,
during any holly contested election to the
prejudice of the dearest interests of those who
are American born. ~ e, es
We say, therefore, that the reforms de-
handed by the Americans are not only abso.
lutely required, but are essential to the sta
biity of the American Union. Their rallyinp
cry of"America for the Americans ~ is Just
one, however much il may be hooted at by
demagogues, or sneered at by some shallow,
hair splitting sophist. Americans alone ought
to guide the destinies Of America But under
the name Of Americans, we include not only
those whoacquired the right to the posses.
sion Of liberty by the suffering or the heroisul
of their forefathers, but those intelligent men
who have migrated to this country as to a
haven Of refuge, and have passed through a
period Of probation sufficient to render them
good and efficient citizens, worthy Of their
adopted country, and of the new generic name
they are1seLceforth TO bear.
If we understand the creed Of the Ameri.
cans rightly, II is not against honest and en-.
ightened men of any nation, or creed, that
they are prepared TO make war; but against
the vicious and the ignorant They contend
that foreigners, unable to speak the language
Of the country into which they have been
prematurely received rs citizens, can scarcely
be expected to appreciate the true value of q
liberty which is new to them, or the excel.
lence Of a Federal Constitution they cannot
even read. They say that these foreigners
bring with their mother tongue their prejudice
their cannishness, and their own peculiar
habits and customs; that they are among us
and yet not Of us; that they are not unlre.
quently either paupers, felons or outcasts; and
yet that these men are brought forward ia
control our elections, voting for candidates Of
whom they are utterly Ignorant aud support
ing political measures, the merits of which
they do not even pretend to understand -
Does any one doubt that these evils really
exist? Now, the mission of the American
party is to break down these abuses; and sc
long us there remains one citizen who prefers
the welfare of his country to the spoils Of
office, SO long will the principles espoused by
the Americans, under that or some other or
ganization, continue to do good service in
REFRESHING foreign domination, exposing tc
popular indignation the acts of demagogues
whether clerical or lay.
