SEQ foreigners voted. He would not suffer their rights
to be attacked. The thing was brought into the
Philadelphia Convention. No outside organization
should be suffered to enter the Convention.
Mr.. KAUFMAN of New.York said, as German
citizen he could not remain silent this subject He

the Know -NOthings had to cay, bnt they must come
and tell us that they have disbanded as party and
given up all separate conventions. As Know-Noth-
ings who would deprive Germans Of their rights
for twenty years. the Republicans could not have
association with them. Fifty thousand Germans in
New-York would support Fremont, and they would
have their rights. Az a lover Of freedom OF speech
however, he would hear what the North Americans
had to say.
