death, in speaking of the government
of Tie United States, said : 1t was

and so long as it exists, no riince will

population of the different nations of
Europe will be carried into that coun,
try ; it is and will be receptacle for
the bad and disafected population of
Europe, when they are not wanted
for soldiers, or to supply the natives,
and the European governments will fa-
vor such course This will create
a surplus and majority Of low ropula-
ticn, who are so very easily excited ;
and they will bring with them their

ity, and in many cases propagate them
among the natives
"These men will Become citizens,
and, by tho constitution and laws, will
be invested with the right of suffrage.

then be created by tho elevation of
