Governor Hayes not only accepted this
nomination, but, On tho 9th Of July, 1870,
the date on which the committee waited
upon him at Columbus, became IN honorary
member Of tho order, and bound BY IT, oath
and constitution.
The necessary effect Of the principles
which Rutherford B. Hayes ID thus bound to
support would be the Decentralization Of all
foreign born citisens, whether English,
Welsh, scandinsvians, Scotch, Irish, French
Italians or Germans. The order would
alienize men like Schurz, Shields, Jones,
O'Gorman, stallo, Ottendorfer, Sigel and
others. , ...-.
It would defranchise three Senators of the
United States-Jones Of Florida, Democrat.
born in ireland, Jones Of Nevada, Republi-
can, born in England, and Beck of Kentucky,
born in Scotland, and strictly construed. de-
nationalist fourth, Hamilton OF Texas,
born in that State before the annexation of
Texas. Of the members Of the House of
Representatives ten would have to abandon
their seats, and loose all voice in the affairs
of the country which had honored them
with share in It's Government, viz: Messrs.
Wilson of Iowa, Phelps of Kansas, and Nc
Dougall of New York, natives of Scotland;
Walsh of Maryland, Woodburn Of Nevada,
and Patterson Of Colorado, natives of Ire
land; Joyce of Vermont, and Cannon of
| Utah, born in England; schleicher of Texas,
torn in Germany; and Davy of New York,
born in Canada. These gentlemen are not
among tho least efficient members Of the
House, nor is their patriotism or trustwor-
thyness affected by the accident of being
born abroad.
The doctrine of the American Alliance
would have prevented the services in our
Revolution of Kosciosco, Steuben, Lafay-
cite and Sterling. It would leave us iso.
lated on the whole world, and no longer the
refuge of oppressed and prosecuted peoples
It would drive from our shores the mil.
| lions Of sturdy miners who produce our
| mineral wealth, and would substitute for
the generous policy Of free civilization
destined to conquer the world, the Chinese
policy of exclusion Of foreign born citizens
Agazziz would never have illuminated
our scientific annals, and most of tho cult
ure our country would have been lost, not
only to itself, but in these practical results
of improved civilization and wealth, which
culture briugs.
j There was nothing in the Constitution on
progress of -nothingism to equal the
tenets of this society, of which Governor
Hayes is now member, and the chosen
Representative.
! Know-nothingism was deliberately re.
jected, after fair trial, by the people of all
the States. VIII they now vote for Hayes

which would not only prevent nsturaliz-

The development must preclude the pos

Republican ticket this year, and all honest
minded American-born citizens will like

Hayes has put upon them, in accepting q
secret and underhand nomination, which

thority In Columbus dispatch IN the New

Republicans will vote against man who
accepts nomination he was ashamed to
avow, and the Indignation will extend
throughout the country among all classes Of
citizens.
The votes of the Germans Of Ohio and
Indiana are admitted to be essential to the
success of either party in the approaching
elections. Can any citizen of German birth
