The real sentiments Of prominent Repub-
leans will work out sometimes when indig.
nation gots the better part Of discretion
That the Republicans, generally, entertain
a deep hatred for the foreign born, there
can be no doubt They have been, as in
dividuals and as party, convicted Ofitvery
often and very many of them have no hes
itation in openly avowing on all occasions,
their contempt and hatred Of those who were
born in other countries In 1854, IL will be
remembered, the native element in the OPP
position so far prevailed that the whole coun.
try was swept by it as with tho "besom Of
destruction The same parties, with few
exceptions, who operated then against the
adopted citizens are now leading men in the
Republican and opposition party. The same
leaven is at work upon the same material,
and il only wants the right temperature to
bring it again to the surface, with the same,
or, probably more destructive results. How
adopted citizens, with the record of the past
before them, and the evidence which they
have almos; daily unwittily laid before them
hY ndiscreet members Of the Republican
party, can "h0ld with their enemies is more
thanwe can account for on rational grounds,
When they shall have trihed away their
rights by giving their adherence to their ex'
ecntioners, they will probably wake up toO
sense Of their true condition.
The Republicans of Massachusetts,, who
"reoce in their strength, have spoken; and
they have decided to admit the negro to
rights which they deny the adopted citizen
1t appears in all this offensive and insulting
persecution Of the foreign born, the grow
ing power of the Romish Church is made
the pretezt The editor of the Cleveland
Herald lately became indignant at some re-
marks Of Bishop Purcell in regard to taxing
church property, and charitable institutions,
aud after e vtr ing what the good Bishop
said, vents his spite against all foreign born
over Catholic shoulders, in this wise:
ave unhesitatingly aver that seven tenths
of the foreigners in our land, who bow In
obedience to the will of the Pope of Rome
are not as intelligent as the full-blooded AT
ricans Of our States-we will not include
the part bloods. Yet, should move be made
to curtail the Naturalization Laws even to
extending the residence of the most litter
ate ignorant Foreigner that lands on our
shores such din would be raised by the
Democrats as would deafen the State
The Herald man is evidently out of hu-
NOR, and il he had the power, he would
doubtless make short work of tho immgra
ton Of foreigners to this asylum of the op-
pressed of all nations" We would not give
fg for the safety Of those already here, il
he had the army and navy" at his behest
The editor Of the Columbus journal is all
so exercised about the Bishops views of tax
alton, but he conceals his malice under the
garb of pleasantly Of the bishop he says
The impulsive Archbishop has long watch
ed the varying struggle of political parties
the cautious and secret policy Of the jesuit
keeping up perpetual struggle in his bosom
with his Iibernian disposition to mingle il
the contest. Consciousness Of the possess
ion Of power to straighten out all these po-
litical affairs, without using it, must have
