such nomination would drive the Democratic Tartv

Undoubtedly there is growing conviction on the
part Of the people shat tie AMERICAN interest and
AMERICAN labor shOGid receive more Of the sosteFing
care OF the Federal Government than has been be-
slowed on them of late years. that the ballot-box
must be purified, and its purity preserved that q
more intense national feeling should be cultivated,
and that the immigration Of foreign paGpsfs and
criminals, who are almost instantly transformed into
voters and by whom elections are often decided
should be prohibited But for these ana 0tlar sa-
tary reforms we must rely wholly Up1n the people
themselves; though candidate fol- the Presidency
in 1860 should be man whose whole public career
affords guarantee that, id bringing about these te
4 forms, his cooperation would be most CheeFfuIly
