The VICE PREslDEHcY.-In the case
of the demise of General Grant,in the
event of his election, it would be i'm.
portant to know something Of the
man who is to be his successor.
The following will show his general
sentiments toward our foreign born
citizens. 1t is an extract from u
speech of Wilson's made in Boston in
1856:
ain the heart ofthe foreigner beats
not a single noble impulse, not one
single throb of patriotism ! He is so
brutal and degraded that he has no
sympathy for anything but cabbage
and lager beer, potatoes and butter.
milk, or some other outlandish dish,
fit only for hogs of the street and pen.
All the oaths in the world cannot bind
them.
Some tell me that many foreigners
are iutclligcnt-yes, intelligent ! How
in the name of Almighty God can they
say itY Look at the Dutchman smok.
ing his pipe, and if you see ray OF
intelligence in that dirty, idiotic look
ing face of his, show it to me.
ave must change the laws OF the
land, and prevent these ignorant, de.
graded paupers here from voting and
holding Office. Villains and rufiians
who congregate in and around vii
lagos and large cities, and live by
stealing and begging from Americans
Some say they have rights. So they
have the right TO live under our laws
and tilt tho soil, and do as we bid
They are inferior in intellect and in.
telligcnco TO the Americans, and they
must be and shall be put down and
kept down, If IL has to be done at the
point of the bayonct and with powder
and lead"
OF such are the sentiments and
craftsmanship of Henry WILSON,
Nationalized citizens must be greater
fools than wo take them TO DO if they
can swallow many doses like this.

BLOODY WoRK.-The French gov
ernment still continues to murder
Communists. Three were executed
at Camp Satory on the 25th. A gov

individuals for political offences than

fore Congress with their petitions
and there is no concoaling the fact that,
behind the affected courtesy of tho
majority of members of both Houses,
there was spirit of levity and con.
tempt for the whole cause and all who
were engaged in it, which broke out
now and then in coarse jokes, polished
inuendoes, and suggestive sneers and
leers. However few gentlemen
might sympathize with the movement,
and few others feel disposed to study
it as the newest phase of social evolu.
tion, there is no Disgusting the fact
that the majority regarded tho whole
thing as huge joke too absurd TO be
seriously considered, and looked upon
its advocates as enthusiasts and mon.
omaniacs to be pitied and endured,
while their eccentricities were laughed
over and their earnestness turned into
fun to enliven the tcdium Of commit
tee rooms and make the habitues OF the
bar rooms roar, Were the expressions
and acts of these women an index OF
the sentiments of their sex on this Con-
tinent, we should think it impossible
to overestimate the gullibility of our
mothers, wives and sisters. But their
expressions are the mere babblings of
select ring, and reflect the viows of
one out every nine hundred and nine
ty-nine-not more. In the social scale,
they boar the same relation to society
that murderers do in the moral-.he
exceptions, not the rule. Everybody
knows that tho "woman plank" in the
Philadelphia platform is merely the
shadow of shaving. 1t was put in
merely as a shrewd piece of political
management. 1t was thought by
some Of the willy politicians that there
were plenty of women speakers and
writers who would be caught by just
such a flourish Of the rhetorical paint
brush; and as the party was in des-
pcratc condition, they were only too
glad to avail themselves of the tongues
and pens of these fast woman. The
chattcring Of all of them and tho joint
efforts of the corruptionists and the
"brcad and butter brigade" combined,
cannot save the Grant ship from going
to the bottom.
