New born Zeal for Foreigners.

IL IS amusing 10 observe the astonishing
professions of-admiration made by the or
gans of the saye-Democracy for foreign
ers, whenever they hope to mako anything
out Of them by it, and to contrast it with the
utter contempt they show for the rights of
this class Of our citizens at all other times.
The success Of the Two Years Amendment
in Massachusetts,, presents what the misera-
hypocritcs believe to be such an occasion,
and the whole profanc crew, from the Con-
stiiut,on down to the Free Press, and even
to the smallest and dulcst dou-hface sheet
in the State, have seized upon it with tho
nvidity of vulturcs upon dead carcass, and
arc gorging themselves to replelon.
The Free Press has been especially raven

eigners. The whole policy of the Locofoco
party has been to degrade them, by bringing
slave labor into competition with theirs, bv
discouraging all branches of American in
dustry for the benefit Of Great Britain, and
by shutting up from then. every avenue to
.preferment aud laudablc enterprise.
We defy a single dough face organ in this
land to point to single act of any self-styled
Democratic Administration, State or Ma
tioDal designed to promote the interests of
foreign laborer, mechanics, or citizens Of any
class. For years, the locofoco majority, in
Congress have resisted, first the efforts of
the Wings, and then of the Republicans, to
procure the passage Of q homestead law,
giving to every man in the country. adopted

public domain to become his home, and ren-
dered inaienablc. TWAS defeated even last
winter by the locofoco party. They have
also made distinctions i'll all the laws for
organizing new Territories, between native
and foreign residents. This was especially
the case in Kansas.
In this State the slave Democracy were in
power for years before 1875, aud what did
they ever do in all that time to prove the sim
cerlty and honesty of their professions Of
love for foreigners Who can point to u
single act of any benefit to them? With
the Republican party. how different has been
the case. The forty acre homestead bill
passed by the last legislature, gives every
one Of them who chooses to avail himself OF
its provisions, free home. They have
been appointed and elected to office, and
their equal rights is every way recognised.
What kuayery for the dough faces to attempt
to turn a locofoco and kno " nothing victory

AMI against the Republicans
1t must strike every foreigner rs most
significant fact, that while the Locofccos in
other States are making such Il howl over
the two years amendment, that the Loccfo-
cos of Massachusetts never opened their
against it. So far from doing so, a large
number of them voted in favor of it, and all
their leading men secretly intrigued for it.
The lending Republican politicians, and a
large number of Republican papers openly
denounced the whole thing and used all their
influence against it. If the Massachusetts
dough- faces did not desire its passage, why
did they not labor and talk against the
amendment But they aided in procuring
its passage, and left the dough-fnce organs
Of other States the entire labor Of denouncing
it. Does not this expose the whole game,
and show the utter hypocrisy Of the slnvc-
Democracy in regard to this matter?-Dei.
