THE CLOvEN FOOT.

There are very many foreign-born citi-
zens in the city of Wilmington and in
New Castle county, who are members of
the Republican party, and as such are ac-
tive and untiring zealots in favor OF
the election Of Mr.. Hayes to the Pyesi-
dency. We can call up to our recollection
citizens Of almost every land in Europe and
every province Of British America den
izens Of our country. whom We trust viii
have manhood enough to punish Ar. Hayes
for his intolsrant AID bigoted acceptance
and endorsement, Of the principles of the
american Alliance Conference"
Are the principles and policy of the
alliance inimical to liberty, and hostile to
the civil rights Of naturalized citizens, #
so it ia duty such citizens owe to their
manhood to openly war against the man
who endorses such principles, and infer
entially promises to shape and guide his
government by their policy. Is it true
that Mr.. Hayes has 80 acted?
This famous Alliance met in Philadel-
phis upon the 4th Of July last. Mr.Hayes
was in Philadelphia from the End to the
9Th Of July inclusive; and OF that time the
Alliance passed the following among other
resolutions:
"An amendment to the naturalization
laws limiting suffrage to persons born in
this country or of American parents; tls
election of American born citizens only to
Official positions in this country"
"Wc hereby endorse the nomination Of tie
Republican party for President and Vice
President land earnestly advise all who are iu
favor Of American principles, az advocated
and set forth in these resolutions, to give
these nominations an active and determined
support"
Upon the 4th Of July. at a meeting Of
Chapter o31, Of Pennsylvania, held in Arch
street, Philadelphia, Mr.. Hayes was elected
a member of tho Order. The pext day,
July 9th, he accepted the membership thus
conferred as follows:
