The evils incident to the indiscriminate immigration
of foreigners into our country-the consequences of
permitting such immigrants to enjoy the right Of
suffage-and the degrading effect of elevatng for
egners TO posts of honor and trust under our aoy.
ernmentj all these have been seen and known to our
people for years past and yet until aoac, with few
exceptions, the American people have seemed to be
blind to the progress Of foreignism in the land We
need not on the occasion of presenting this circur
prospectus 10 the country assign the c@se8 for this
sudden and general manifestation Of the pu,ose Of
the American people to take the reins Of govern
ment into their own hands; it is sufficient for the

We now come forward 20 present to our fellow
citizens the mode and means Of concentrating the
opinions and OF harmonizing the action of those who
