We had supposed that she great Object oftle

mnintain this; no one doubted that it was ne
cassary to get rid of the Yankees, not paliti-
cally merely, but socially, morally and from
all, manner or contact and intercourse. And
!! yet Congress has allowed two years to pass
without touching the naturalization law; and
if ne.ce were made tomorrow, the Yankee
has but to open our gates and walk in, with

There should be no further delay about this
matter. We have vastly more to fear from,
the Yankees after than during the war. The
three millions of copscripts. that they now
propose to send against US are far less to be
dreaded than the social nundations that will
come when peace is made, unless. we build
breakwaters now. They cannot conqner us
by arms, but leave them free to enter our do:
main and enjoy here rights equal with our
own, and they will pour over our borders in
such number that all that we may have gain
cd by successful war will be lost; We will be
sutiocated by numbers, debauched and Yam
keeia=d by the contasion Of their presence.
For our part, we could see but little reason
for continuing the terrible war in which. we
are engaged, if We knew thatit was to end
with the free and full privilege of citizenship
left open to the Yankee. God knows we
have. enough of Yankee laws and institutions
