| to detect this love, and find out what the
nature of it is 1t is extremely elherial,
because it can only be discovered just
upon the eve of an Election, when it
Immediately y disappears, not to be seen
or heard of again until about the ap-
proach Of another occasion of the kind
have been diligently looking for it
these last dozen years with a good-sized
telescope. and thus far have been un-
able TO obtain the slightest glimpse of it,
except at the time mentioned; and even
then it is but the ghost Of a 10 e, so that
were it not for the frequent and renewed
assurance Of its presence from the Dem
ocratic orators on the stump, should
even then be inclined to doubt my Wis
ion. But this love is not even general
at the best Of times, because it only ex-
tends to th.t part Of the Irish who are
ever ready to follow wheresoever those
demogogues choose to lead; but when
they find those Of them who have the
courage to think for themselves, and
have stopped voting for "General Jack
son"--those Of them "who know the
right and knowing dare maintain, -
they say "Begone. you cannot share
our love-" and they are ever ready to
cast low insinuations at their national
character, even at the expense Of those
too, whom they manage to dupe. That
love was not strong enough during the
contest for Speaker last winter to pre-
vent nearly every Democratic member
in the House of Representatives from
voting for Mr.. Smith of North Carolina,
Know Nothing; a'man who vas elect
ed by the KnowNothing party on a
Know Nothing platform But that was
inst after the election, and that love had
disappeared then; and many of those
same Democrats had, perhaps, forgot
ten that they owed their seats in the
House to those very adopted citizens
whose interests they had so suddenly
overlooked.
See the Homestead Bill now in dis
cussion in Congress. In the Republi-
can branch we find the bill passed Civ
the privileges of the Homstead measure
to those who have declared their inten-
tions to become citizens. In the Sen
ate, the Democratic branch, we find
the bill opposed on these very grounds,
and another one introduced denying
the benefits to any but actual citizens.

Here let me show mp little Of this
Democratic love for tho foreigner. !
quote Mr.. Garnett Of Virginia, in the
debate on the admission of Kansas in
the House on the lth of April he says,
tGo to Minnesota and you find nearly
half of her population was composed of
foreigners but lately landed upon tn ese
shores; and even men who have not
been naturalized are permitted to vote
after they have declared there inten-
lions TO become citizens; men who are

zens of Stearns County relish this bit of
love for the foreigners? These very
men who are thus taeduced have made
that country one Of the most prosperous
in the State. And if am not much mis-
taken. they will ere long show thatgpar-
ty that they have the courage to resent
an insult. This Democratic love forthc

the Charleston nomination, and conse-
quently the original issue between us is
dead. If there is any other game he
can play at let him come on. Ifhe
wishes to surrender, let him do 80 and
not leave the issue and run off to Eng
land and Ireland to avoid the blows, for
