Another Holocaust OF Blood.

The Democratic members Of the General Assembly,
not yet saated with blood and loving all the e0neom
itants violence, fraud and perjury, again atork,
in preparing the banquet of he'll. Another Registry
law has been offered the Senate by that spawn that
has SO recently been warmed into life, by the ncuba
tion of Democracy Mr. Hyans, and passed the Senate
by majority, that powers Of the feeble minority
OF that7body were able to stay It was properly de
clared by Mr.. St. Paul, man whom we hope is not
yet altogether, nsensble to all the vrtuous instincts
of nature, and who feels that every interest of
the State must not be made subordinate to the mere
trumphs of party, that under the provisions of the
bill one thousand votes might be had for one dollar
per head Wedo not think that Mr.. St. Paul put his
figures quite high enough. Under the provisions Of
the first section miserable subservient tool of party,
might be appointed to keep the Original Registry
of Voters" The third section provides That every
citizen naturalzed in any Of the State OF Federal
Courts shall produce the certificate of his naturaza
tion unless he make affidavit Of and acconnt the
loss or destruction of the same. Now, why did Mr.
Hyams put in the naked word certifcateP Take our
word for it, it for purpose, fair foul the fu
tire will disclose. Now, it is not upon the
Of the Clerk that such and such a man hassheen
naturalzed that he is to prove that he Is natural
lied citizen in order to entte him to all the franchises
of the Decree of that judicial tribunal which has
acted in the premises, certifying the same be a
true copy. This is very different thing and Mr.:
Hyanls very well knew it. It is a certified copy Of
the Records of the Court. But affirm that it is
the purpose of Mr.. Hams and his coadiutors to sub
stnte in its stead certificate Of the Clerk that
Mr.. ORyan has been naturalzed in this or that Court

the beautiful operation of that political moroccan Of
Democracy comprehended in that brevfty Squafter
Sovereignty" The whole bill is farce clothed with
the solemn forms of legislation, and which will end
! in another soene of blood and violence.
The Democracy are, with deadly hatred Of their
political opponents i'll concealed, laying Deep under

This Registry bill foreably reminds us OF some
| passages Of Spanish history. Wien Phillip the
Second sent the bloody and infamous Duke Of Alva
into the Netherlands with yiceregal powers, without
any authority whatever unless verbal he Instituted
sion of their proceedings. The Court Of High Com
mission in England was tame to the 6 Council Of his
ESceIlency, which was soon changed in name to that
Of the g Council Of Ihn..s,n = and afterwards know,
in history given it BY the people as the 6 Council
Of Blood" You will win for yourselves gentlemen
the enviabe title distinction of the last And
your proceedings remind us Of that same infamous
Duke. Writing home to Phillip his master, he said,
