What does the Republican
expect to gain by lying in that
style !? 1t is well known that
the Republican party, during
the campaign Of 1860, prom
ised to give homesteads to the
poor if they would vote for
Lincoln, but they have never
fulfilled the promise, excepting
the giving Of three by six feet
homcsteads for graves to al
most q million Of poor men.
1t is well known to every read
g that the Republicans have
given away to party favorites
within the last few years, lands
enough to make six States as
large as Ohio. These lands
were owned by the people,
They were the heritage of our
children. They would have
offered cheap homes for the
youth of generations to come
They have been given away to
rapacious sharpers. They are
held by grasping land monop-
olists. They are beyond the
attainment Of the poor. Why
don't the people rise in their
majesty, put down their op.
pressors, and annul every tyr.
annous and lawless act in the

A Word to the TOiling Mill
lions.

We are glad to see that the
toiling millions are beginning
to look to their own interest.
This is indicated by the labor
movements Springing up in all
parts Of the country. The
bondholder, national banker,
monopolists have ruled long
enough, and those "who pay
for it ALL" by thesweat Of their
brow, have become weary of
oppression and deprivation. AS
modern Radicalism, demonstra.
ted by its leaders, if wholly an
organization to establish an ar
istocracy, the natural home OF
the laboring man is within the
pales Of the Democratic party.
EXtraneous issues-maddened
with wild excitement-for o
time estranged portions Of our
working men from the Democs
racy, inducing them to allay
their fortunes with party
which is as foreign to their in
.terests as the most absolute
despotism, and with which they
could no more permanently
commingle than water with oil.
This they are beginning to
comprehend. Through all the
phazes, successes and reverses,
which it has experienced, the
Democratic party has identi-
fed itself with the mechanical
and laboring interests of the
country, and in the defence
thereof, has battled political
Capitalization and monied mo-
nopoly. 1t will ever do SO ;
and that the la boring classes
are opening their eyes to the
fact, is seen in their inclination
to join hands with the Democ-
racy in the grand political con-
test, which takes place next
fall.

The Amended Naturalza"
ton law.

The Amended Naturalza~
ton Law.
The title Of the amended
Naturalization Bill as adopted
by Congress, recently, is a
misnomer. 1t should be enti-
tied a bill to prevent naturali-
zation;a bill giving the Presi"
dent power to interfere with
and control elections through.
out the States; to insult and
degrade millions of adopted cit
izens, who constitute a very
large proportion Of the bone
and sinew of the country; tc
brand with inequality, and pro
scribe the large body Of popu~
lation by whose thrift and en-
terpriso full one.half Of our
public domain has been gal.
vauized into the family Of
States. Under the pre,existing
law, citizens of foreign birth
experienced neither delay, ina
convenience or expense in per-
fecting citizenship, hence the
inducement to migration from
European countries. The law
as remodeled, bristling all over
with penalties-there being no
fewer than eighty separate in
dictmcnts attached to twill
obstruct naturalization, and
largely destroy the ability of
foreigners to acquire citizen
ship. The obnoxious word
"white" was stricken out, and
u straight road made for Chi.
namen to the elective franchise.
This is another scheme to per-
petuate Radical power by the
aid of the Coolie vote. Radi-
cal Shylocks and contractors
will bring them here by tens of
thousands, to take possession
of the workshops, and then to
vote down workingmen at the
ballot, box.
This most iniquitous project,
which is sugarcoated over with
the syren caption of a measure
to punish frauds, is simply d
cheat, designed for party pur-
poses to degrade a large body
of citizens; to make naturaliza.
ton costly and complicated.
Whilst some identified with
the ruling party demur to the
more odious features of the bill,
it cannot be denied that it has
been supported by the Radical
dynasty, with but few excep.
tions, and was! strenuously,
though in vain, resisted by the
Spartan band Of Democrats.
These Radical imperialists
must possess a large stock Of
credulity, if they suppose for
q moment that this most flagi-
tious attempt at consolidation,
will not, in due time, find fit:
ting rebuke from the people.
