Foreigners.

SCdlCcly ulcu upoil Out cars, tHc piouuy
spots upon their garments have hardly
faded away, since their Native Ameri-
can and Nothing conflicts against
the foreigners; and although their dis
graceful and od.ous alien and sedition
laws have been repealed by Democrat
ic congress, they still remain perpetual
record against their ignominious authors
That the same malevolent spirit that
has characterized the Republican party
and its antecedents since the first or
ganization of this government has not
been blotted out or reformed, is evil
denced, most signally, by their attempt
at the last session of congress to SO Grip
pie and clog proceedings under the nat
uralization law that no foreigner would
attempt to become naturalized under it
without first getting his life insured,
and employing several constitutional
lawyers to engineer him through. Some
of its beautiful provisions are: LIST
he must continuously reside in the Uni
ted States with the intention of becom-
ing citizen thereof, for three years be-
fore making his application; in the
state six months; in the district 30 days
and is to give 20 days notice of his in
tention; SO that if three years should ex-
pire less than twenty days before court:
he whould have to wait until the next
term. 2l-Or the hearing Of such Pc
tition, any person may appear and op-
pose the naturalization, and issue to be
made thereon the same as in any civil
suit" How long do you think it would
take foreigner to become naturalized
under this law, before q Republican
iudge-for it is all left to the discretion
ofthe Judge, and confined as far as may
be to the L. s. courts and they have
all become partisan judges. What for
eigner would ever come to this country
expecting to be natura'ized under sucl
a law ? 3d-unlimited power is giver
the judges to adjourn, from time to time
the court before which the case i:
pending" You see by this last thrus
at the foreigner their old foe, inspired
by their ancient hate and hostility, still
breathes that internal old spirit O
Know. Nothingism, and the convent
and church burning Native American
ism. Who has forgotten the bloody
times Of Native Americanism in Phila
dclphia the secret, intolerant and pro
scriptive spirit of w-Nothingisn
which spread all over the land AnG
how long since they delighted to use
their fiercest epithets against the Dutch
and Irish. How long is it since they
ceased their war upon the Germans fol
drinking beer on Sunday? And how
long, we beg them to tell us, since they
ceased their love for the negro, and
conferred their dark, ardent affections or
the Germans If the Germans have
not the pleasure OF knowing that they
are your first love, they do know that
you hold them in your dear, disinterest
ed affections as second only to the dusky
sons of Africa.
1.-THE cold in cline are cold in blood;
Their love can scarce deserve that namc
But yours is like the lava flood
That bursts from 1Etna's mount Of flame.
Who, on the American continent, has
been more bitter against Prussia and
her adopted citizens in this country,
than the Republican party, until since
the war between Prussia and France
And now how do they fawn and
honey, lick the dust, and crawl upon
their bellies, try to talk German, and
speak tenderly of the Fatherland; but,
before they close this loving second court
ship, the mask falls from their lily dis
guised hypocrisy, ana they exclaim SO
tcnderly, " our sympathies are all with
you, our ends and our aims are ole
you always should have been Repub-
lican come, let u; take sweet counsel
together, and wherever your lot shall be
cast there shall the dark sons of Africa
be cast also. Come, let as all vote to-
gether." All, gentlemen, the hypocri-
sy is too bald. You can deceive no one.
Your bait is too stale.
