Mr.. EDITOR This pagan phrase
is often quoted by our countrymen
with peculiar appreciation. "The
voice of the people is the voice of

Of majofities. To show the absurd

Der the great Napoleon's epigram !:
"that God is on the side of the

the saying at the head of this paper
to all popular triumphs, is to attrib-

wisdom, and justice--a capacity for
perceiving the true and the good
such as gives their decisions the

On Tuesday last General o. O.
Howard. the one armed her2 of An
tietam, Gettysburg, and the Sherman
Campaign, arrived in Columbus, and
the Lower House of our Copperhead
Legislature refused to adopt reso
luton inviting him to call on the
Assembly, thus offering a maimed
and gallant soldier the most pointed
insult that could be devised by a
Legislative body. On Saturday
General Durbin Ward, Union sol
dier who is chiefly known as a
convert to the Democratic party,
was in Columbus and the House
promptly adjourned for a quarter of
an hour to tender him the hospital
tiles of that body. And the Democ-
racy love the soldiers? Certainly.

NATURALIZATIoN.- the United
States Senate. OF the 18th inst, Mr.
Stewart. of Nevada, Republican,
introduced bill to establish uni
form rule of naturalization. in the
following words:
BE 1t enacted, DC, That all
white persons Of foreign birth, not
convicted of crime. and who have
not participated in insurrection or
rebellion against the United States.
and who are now, or shall hereafter
become permanent residents Of the
United States, and elect to be cit
izens thereof, are hereby declared
naturalized citizens, and entitled to
all the rights and privileges Of other
citizens of the United States"
On the: same day. Senator FREE
'lin~huysen of New Jersey, reported
a bill to regulate the proceeding of
naturalization. g. ... .-... .
: This bill seems to us complicated.
illiberal and we most earnestly hope
will never receive the approval of
the Senate. We. have liberatei l
four millions of slaves, clothed
many of them with the elective
franchise, and none rejoice more, at
this glorious accomplishment, than
ourself The glory of our institu-
tions consists in their remarkable
liberality.
|. The fact that in few localities
gross frauds have taken place.
instigated mostly by bad natives.
should not become justifable
cause for enacting laws VIII CT will
subject all aliens to unnecessary
inconveniences, perplexities, and
expense. Let us be liberal and
just to all men. and the results will
be most lasting and gratifying.
We heartily approve of Mr. Stew
arts bill. and with some slight mod
ifications. hope it will pass. -,
