To NaturaliZed Citizens-Read!
Great efforts are being made by the
Administration or Southern Democracy
to get the votes of our naturalized citi-
zcns. To all that class of voters we say,
before you determine to sustain party
that is now calling upon you in desper-
alton to save an administration that has
abandoned every principle of Democra-
cy, see if you are not only sacrificing
principle, but also throwing yourselves
into the arms of those who hate and de-
spise you. We publish below a speci-
men of the abuse with which you are
loaded by the southern Administration
press. The Richmond (Va.) Examiner,
an administration Lecompton paper says
of you:
"The mass of them are sensual, grow
cling, low minded agrarians, and nine
tenths of them would join the Mormons,
or some such brutal, leveling sect, if an
opportunity offered to do so.
European writer's describe large class
ofpopulation throughout England and
the continent as being distinguished by
restless, wandering, nomadic habits, and
by peculiar conformation of the skull
and face. Animal and sensual nature
largely predominates, with them, over
the moral and intellectual. 1t is they
who commit crimes, fill prisons, and
adorn the gallows. They will not sub
nit to the restraints of law or religion,
nor can, they be educated, Are such
men worth thousand dollars head to
breed from From their restless and
lawless habits, we should infer they
composed a large part of the Northern
!. immigration.
Slavery fends off the stream of vicious
foreign emigration from the South. In
a few years, the blasphemous reformers
who curse the constitution for legalizing,
and the Bible for consecrating slavery,
will curse Heaven that did not bless the
North with African slavery, the
only antidote to crowded, motley, for
eign and native population.
Had they (the immigrants) ferdal
lords and masters, like Russians, Hun
garians and Turks, to furnish them with
homes, houses, and subsistence, not one
would quit"
No anti-Lecompton paper ever utter
ed such sentiments as the above. Can
you not see who are your enemies, and
who your friends. Will you vote for
a party that calls you sensual, grovel-
liug, low-minded 2" Who say you are
not worth as much as niggers to breed
FRONT That you do not recognize law
or religion, and are incapable of educa-
tion2 That you fill prisons, and adorn
gallows7 That you are tools and slaves.
Let your votes answer such aspersions.
Rebuke the Administration chivalry and
their slanderous assertions, and prove
that you have the spirit and sentiments
of freemen--that you cannot be wanton
ly insulted and traduced, and meekly
kiss the foot that kicks you. Have you
come to land of freedom to be used as
slavesl These Lecompton swindlers
publish the most infamous ISLANDERS upon
you, and hate and despise you in their
hearts, esteem you as their enemies, and
as foes to their institutions, because you
swell the numbers and enhance the re-
sources of the North, and yet come to
you with hypocritical smile and beg
your votes to get them into office. Let
them see by an independent exercise of
your right as citizens that you under
stand their motives and despise their
ISLANDERS, and also those that utter them.
When the Lecompton aristocrat can
show in what his superiority to the
Frenchman, the Irishman or the Ger
mon consists, he may be allowed to con-
gratulate himself that slarery .tends of
tie stream Of ricious foreign emigration
, from the South!
But you need not 60 to Southern edi-
: tors to find such sentiments: The Sac
ramento Mercury, the prominent Le-
compton paper in this State, in July last
, published the following:
: "Here it is convenient, too, to forget
, that the slaves to capital at the Moth all
vote and exercise other acts of citizen
ship, and thereby secure to that section
its numerical ascendency. These votes
too, consist of a vast proportion of for
eigners. IN little instructed IN tie true the
org and principles Of our Government as
, are the ordinary slares upon Southern
plantations. You drive mp your slaves to
the polls, in many instances, merely to
; echo your political preferences; the
southerner keeps his better employed in
his field, and does not thus prostitute the
elective franchise"
Administration editors in this State
think foreigners are as ignorant as
slaves. Will you abe driven up to the
polls" by any such slave drivers!
