Congress- and FOREIGNERS.

.
There Is now pending before congress
a bill which, if passed, viii deprive two
thirds Of the foreign population f the
United States Of the right Of suffrage, and
efectnally prevent the GENERALIZATION Of
three iourths Of al foreigners sho may
come u America IL the future.
The bill provides that :. ,haU be Decas
sary Tor each foreigner When he apples for
hi naturalization papers to appear in open
court; AMI further provide ;lat any one
may appear against the apnlical. ana con
test bis right TO citizenship; and should
there be any objection raised to his moral
character, the applicant is refused his pa
pers, AMI the jadgs IS The sole power to de-
eide whether or not the applicant is fit
person and entitled to his papers.
This infamou. law is intended as guiiio-
tine 10 behead democrats, and to keep our
foreign population from the polls. L IS
the last efEor, Of the republican party TO
perpctuate their poser and to New Eng
iandize the whole country.
The law also provides that all who have
only their FIRST papers, can be prevented
from becoming full citizens, should any OBJ
lection be made Ia fact, the whole OBJ
ject of the law is to strange The rights Of
foreign citizens, and to prevent emigration
20 this country from Europe There are
already too many foreigners here to please
tbs republican party. The foreign vote
ha. beaten that party by 10000 majority in
New York, and will beat them in other
states, and in the whole country, unless
that vote IS ''choked Of. And TO Do
that, republican liberty loving congress l.
nov engaged in fixing up a Iaw.
Next week We shall publish a speech Of
the Hon. Chas a. Eldridge, delivered
IN congress against the bill. and We ash
our democratic readers to lend TnE PIL0r
containing it to their republican neighbor>
that they, too, may know what the party
they support is doing for the country.
The biIl will doubles, become law; and
in view Of this, we advise all forcga born
citizens who have not their second papers
to lose no time IL procuring item 0ul
term Of court commences next Tuesday and
we would bc glad to see every man, vhcth-
er Il democrat or republican, take the EARL
est opportunity 10 pat themselves beyond
the power of congress, to deprive them Of
the right to vote
