Maine,



The Portland Argus, commenting upon
the result Of the election. says:
The election 10 this State on Monday
was one Of the most remarkable In the
history Of the State. Ii demonstrated
even more emphatically than that Of Cal-
ifornia the week previous, the irresistible
popular reaction which is going on
. ailsi revolutionary Radicalism through-
OUT the country The leaders Of the
Radical party made strenuous efforts to
bring out its fullstrength Their organ
ization was perfect, aud the contributions
Of the army of Office holders supplied
ample means. They put their most inau-
entail speakers upon the stump, aud their
numerous party organs flooded the State
With appeals to the prejudices, passions
and party pride of their disciples. No
effort was spared on their part; no stone
left unturned. But the Democracy, with
scarcely the semblance Of an organization,
without funds, without speeches or con-
cert of action, came out in their strength
and made a relative gain upon them Of
/ Is 900 votes, elected the officers 10 seye-
raj counties, and largely increased repre-
|sentation In the Legislature. It was the
spontaneous uprising of the people dis
gustcd with Radical misrule and the eter-
nal commotion and ruin which il entails :

Radicals the sworn Enemies OF
Foreigners.

SEC. I, ARsIoLEIII, OF the Constitu.
tion provides, s'that no person except a
natural born citizen, or citizen of the
United States at the time the Constitution
was formed, shall be eligible to the Office
of President.
The Radicals in their great zeal, (Which
generally makes captive their good sense,)
to elevate the Negro to citizenship. pur-
posely make him the political superior Of
the foreign born white man. by making
him citizen, eligible to the Office of Pres.
ident of the United States. What impu-
dence, to ask foreignert to vote the Rad
ical Negro Ticket
SEC. II ART. I, provides. sthat no per-
son shall be a Representative in Con-
gress who shall not have beeh seven
years citizen Of the United States"
The Radicals propose by their Consti-
tutional Amendment to make the negro a
citizen, eligible to a seat in Congress inn
mediately, while the foreigner is required
to reside in the country seven years be-
fore he is eligible.
Sec. III ART. /, requires citizenship
in the United States for nine years as q
qualification ofsa Senator"
By the Constitutional Amendment, il
adopted, the Negro from Ohio has a right
to offer himself as a candidate for q. s,
Senator, while the foreigner who has resi-
ded here eight years and eleven months,
by the Constitution, is ineligible g
tits very plain that Radical enactments
are for. the political oppression of for
eigners and the elevation Of the Negroes.
Their enactments are made to favor the
Negro and supplant the Constitution.
Every foreigner should treat the hand
ing him Radical Ticket as downright
insult to his manhood.
The Democracy representthe true peo-
pie of the United States, and upon the
Democracy the foreigner can rely.
