Alien Suffrage is Cow the war.cry

feated and Inundated upon them
they now declare their determination
10 thrust new issues upon the coun-
try, nOleas roleps, and manifest
species of Indignation when they are
t6Id that they will be challenged.
Alien Suffrage is the card they
have chosenstor the campaign. Why
ihe1kshoalJ ex hibit such marked
ed 6cstilny TO a principle which was
appraved<by their leader last year,
MrsfilImore. by bis official sanction,
st0eneire country will be at loss
TO 1elefmine. Here is a section
which vas contained in the act erect
ing a Territorial Government out of
the Northern portion of Oregon,
which was passed during the admin
.istration of Mr.. Fillmore, and be-
came a law on the Sd Of March,
1858:
s'SEc. 5. And be it further enact
ed, That epery auhite male inhabitant
above the age Of twenty-one years,
who shall have been a resident of
said territory at the passage Of this
act, and shall possess the qualifica-
tions hereinafter prescribed, shall be
entitled to vote at the first election,
and shall be eligible to any Office
within said territory; but the quallfi.
cation of voters and Of holding Office
at all subsequent elections shall be
such as shall be prescribed by the
Legislative Assembly: Provided,
That the right of suffrage and OF
holding Office shall be exercised by
citizens Of the United States above
the age Of twenty one years, and
those abore Mat age who shall hare
declared oa.oath their intention TO. BE-
COME SUCH, and shqU hare taken an
oath to support the Constitution Of
the United States and TIE provisions
Of Ibis act.'
We have never heard any sound
excuse given for the signature of this
not by Mr.. Fillmore. Undoubtedly
it contained a clear approval Of the
principle of "alien suffrage And
if that principle is wrong now it must
have been wrong then. When, then,
the organs of The opposition are
laundering their anathemas against
the supportersof alien suffrage, we
beg them TO remember that their
maledictions fall with as much weight
upon their accepted aud idolized lead
er, as upon any supporter of the
doctrine. But Mr.. Fillmore was not
alone in the support Of the odious
doctrine. Hon. John Bell. 10 bis
