An old Fenian frind of this city
has handed US the following from
his scrap book fer publication. 1t L
an extract from one of the many
speeches delivered by Schuyler CoE-
fax, Radical candidate for Vice Pres
ident. on his return to Indiana from
| the National Know Nothing Con-
vention, at Philadelphia, In 1855,
| Read 1T:
"S0me tell me that many
foreigners are Intelligent yes, In
telligent. How In the name OF al
mighty God can they say 1t? Look
at the Dutchman, smoking his pipe,
dt,ld n g0a ctlA sec r0u Qf 5tsteIRi-
gessce IN ElgEt dirty, ffiolse looking
face Of kis, ahoac IL to Hag! Look al
that drunken, 6iodted Irishmaaa, acith
his rotgut iehiskg bottle la has pocket,
and he drunk, swearing and reeling,
and show me in that polluted face
any spark of morality, intellect or
education. The idea is perfectly alb
surd it Is preposterous! I!
"W must change the laws of the
land, and prerelt Msse ignoraRt, de-
gradet pd1lpers here from rotilag and
holding oysce. They are a set of ule~
prlaciplett giitaias and TtDsdas, who
congregate in and around our large
cities and villages, and lire By steal~
ing and begging from the Americans.
Some tell me they have rights. So
they have; right to live under our
laws and till the soil, and do ss We
old, They are inferior in intellect
and intelligence to the Americans,
and Hee.q must and shC}l de gitt douga
and KEPT dotca, if it has to be done
at the point qf lie bdy0let and with
pOacder and dad. There is no use of
talking mincingly, or of fearing re-
suit in regard TO the matter. 4 great
cry has gone up by old liners about
the foreigner being DIR ven away
from the polls, and not being allowed
TO vote.
This / suppose to be true in many
respects Would you have the
American citizen stand hack and let
ii 0toatet, rel risaged, drunken 6rsae
n afI LriShHada vote instead OF him
self? See the wretch as he approach
es; his knees KNOCKING, and the
slQbbeT of tobacco running down
ls,laws, and ais he comes YOU hear
him 'hurra for democracy and here
he eqnes, fresh from the bogS, Just
oae year ago, and wants to vote
and because the boys cry smove
him. and he gets knocked town for
his impudence, a great 2ry Is made
ABOUT 1t by old line demag0gues. !
