The follOwing apd appropriate REMARKS
wsrs made BY Mr.. sAxIrzER when the
shove mentioned bill was under eonside-
ration in the House: .
My. Spanksr :z~E do hope that the bill
now under confederation vail net hscame
o law. | consider it the relic of ths old
and infamous party known as the Know
Nsahinx pszes !, which bad freQasas inter
course with "Samn BY aid Of dark Ian
terms and wicked hearts-which party has
uasged away to it's death rs aisgracsfui ~
sss mission was wicked and miscnievous-
Upon its grave public approbxium piled
Mount CASA upon Pelion, she better 70 IN
sure sss eartaiasy Of It's burial and the
uon-resurrection Of ita teneka; but under
diaaFent guise, it is proposed 70 bring
up The ssase b&neful policy. '
The bill before us proposes to do Bota"
iug but what already is prescibed By Iawt
except a certificate Of affidavit signed BY
the party challenged, which will be no
better evidence than an oral oath, for the
reason shas is will require the same kind,
eharasser, and quantity OF evidence, 70
convict a man for perjury, as under the
present law-So there can be nothing
gained in this respect, whilst 1t vail serve
| the dominant party in preventing ana In
simidating voters, and using up the time
in strife. which should De receiving the
ballotx Of electors. We all know how
| Jealous the foreigner is OF his integrity
and we know too, that he can easily De IN
timidated BY outside pressare, and this lie
all that the bill provides for. And too,
| il il an insult 10 the good sense OF ou'
sauptsd cirizens 70 impose upon shsm thus
oppose this bill from principle, and no
throagh party motives. | regard th'
rights of nav fellows as sacred, and fai
| above the ends of party; anu With . .waaf
10 protect our adopted citizens in their sa'
cred rights secured to them by the princl'
ples of the Democratic party, do mos
strenuousiy oppose this innovation OF thell
rights. although many of our adopted CT
izens have gone OF from their warn
friends and supporters, yet wish thell
rights secured TO them, with the hops tina
thex together with als others, who throngi
imnulse went of from the great Nationa
PARTY, will, ere long come back, seeinj
and apureciating the. difference betseeI
those With whom they now act, and thos
Who provided and built up system Q
government fer this country on which al
nations look with envy, and for the pur
