"BQuatter Sovereignty AZ Home"
Under this heading the Daily Native Cit-
zen Of Chicago exposes the infamous and
shameless doings Of the foreigners of that city,
under the direction and by the prompting of
the great leader Of the foreign party in that
State, Mr.. Douglas.
Stung with modification by the reception
given him in that city on his return from Con-
gress in 1854, and burning with revenge, the
Citizen states that /" he decided to deliver Chi
cago over TO the enemy, to sap its foundations,
make 1t the home of vice and infamy, dis
credit to the nation. To this end was erected
by him and another person the largest bar
room in America, which equalled in splendor
any in the world, and with an utter disregard
to shame, branded the name Of Young Ameri-
ca upon it." The Citizen further states that
newspaper was issued at great expense,
and /" strewed amongst the lowest rabble of
the town." Other charges of doings almost
too infamous for belief are also made, which
we omit The Citizen then goes on to charge
as follows
They imported voters and by fraud and rascality
obtained the control of city, they pandered to
the rumsellers, parleyed to drivers, and even
courted the favor Of the prostitutes, and, after
wards insult US by declaring the miserable rabble
to be " better men" by far
From an examination of the Records, we CLEAN
the following facts, which show most conclusvely
that this Is the true home of squatter sovereign
ty," nay, that 1t is now dominant amongst US.

Citizens Of Chicago theseare your chief officers,

ALL IRISHMENl &a
The revenue of the United States, the entire
taxes of the city and county, the whole State tax
of Chicago are placed in the hands Of Irishmen
The public prosecutor Of the United States, the
State Prosecuting Attorney, six Justices of the
Peace, and the Marshal, who has the entire charge
of the peace and order Of the city, all Irshmen
We call this "squatter sovereignty with yen-
geance, and fear that before long you will find
it to be such! Americansl does your blood boil
at such an outrage-such utter, open, and un-
paralleled disgrace? Are you now satisfied as to
the aims of Douglas. Can you read his plans and
purposes? Do you feel that he is vile among the
vile? 1t is to him we owe our thanks for such an
exhibition of regard-this is the testimonial of
esteem which we have from his hands, and it is
with this splendid exhibition of his power, his
magnanimity and his nationality that he presents
himself as candidate for the Presidency. But
Americans, this is not all, these are merely the
prominent features in the picture-Douglas's cho-
sen friends-he has many more such, who pould
occupy these positions, but failing in this consent
to be policemen. Four-ffths of the whole police
force are Irishmen-the other fifth divided between
the Dutch and the Americans the latter to be dis
missed as soon as their services can be possibly
dispensed with. Shall we call your attention to
the Board of Aldermen--ah no! you are well ac-
quainted with them nowl
You have seen drunken Irishman stagger in
his seat
Look for moment at your representatives in
the Board Of County Supervisors-who are they?
Red-mouthed Irishmen!
Citizens of Chicago, you know the workings Of
squatter sovereignty-how do you like itf Shall
it spread abroad over and around the land, OF
will you check it in it's course? You see the in
dignity which has been placed upon you rise,
then, to man, and utter your opinion. Let your
voice 90 forth, even to the Senate Chamber, where
he holds you up to derision and scornl your Sema-
tori the Embodiment Of your sentiments and let
lit brand him as the traitor that he is false to
America ITSELF
