Hayes n KnOw-nOthing.

From the declaration of principles Of tho
American alliance:
/. "An amendment to the naturalization
laws limiting suffrage To persons born IN tnl'
country or of American parents"
2. "The election of American born cfti
zcns only to official positions In this coun
try"
From n letter OF the Republican candidate
for President 10 Samuel j. Tyler, Secretary
OF the American alliance, July 5, 1856:
81 have Just received your letter informing
me of my election as a member of your adj
mirable alliance. Return my thanks 10 the
alliance, as / deeply sympathize with It's
principles. remain your fellow-citizens:
"R. Ii. Hayes"
A gentleman writes as follows to the Ro-
chester Union:

and instigated others more brutal than him.
self and more courage TO acts of violence
toward foreigners which Mt that time dis
graced Cincinnati. He was not only an ad-
vocate of twenty one years residence for all
foreigners before allowing them TO become
citizens or vote, but he was in favor OF such
proscriptive measures as would in erect pre-
vent immigrants from the old world from
coming TO this country. The naturaliZed
citizen could not have greater enemy in
the presidential chair than Rutherford u.
Hayes, and no naturalized citizen should
vote for him.

Bristow spoke at Peru, In, Wed
nesday last, and returning to Indi'
annapolis, the same evening, on the
train, he met the speakers and other
parties returning from the reform
demonstration ut Kokomo the same
day. He fell into conversation with
Cows. Hendricks and Dorshelmer,
and said unless Hayes made reform
the distinctive priniple Of his ad-
ministratiou IL would be undoubt-
edly the most infamous this govern
ment had ever seen. He was asked
what the Republican party had
done for the South, and replied
that it had taught it how much it
could stand. If it could bear Spen-
Ger and others of his kidney there
were no limits to its endurance
He further gave it as his opinion
that whichever man should be
President, he would have the COM
bined strength of his party to con-
tend with if he attempted civil-ser-
vice reform. He considered this
the bane of American palitics. He
showed much more liberality in pri-
vate than on the stump.

The Income Lie.

The New York Times says of
item after item in its calumnious
accusations, lit is withdrawn II
also confesses to the fraudulent
character of its bill of items by
saying that it was necessarily i'm.
perfect and partly hypothetical,
and in this hypothetical statement,
it was cold-blooded enough to base
the villanious accusation of per
jury
The New York Tribune SAYS
"On many of the points which he
does deal with, his answer appers
completely headless and hot-headed
partisans have wantonly paraded
supposed items of his income in
the year 1862. This was a foolish
thing to do, and nobody will be
surprised to find that the governor
is able in nearly every case, to
show that the item, as stated, is
correct"
The New York Evening Post
says: although the denial of the
charges in regard to Governor Til
den's income tax comes from Judge
Sinnott, who has been the COVER
nor's confidential clerk, it is intend
ed to be the denial of Governor Til
den himself, and should be accept
ed. Moreover it must, by all of us
who believe in Governor Tilden's
honesty, be accepted as his denial
in the broadcast sense that he never
intended to defraud the govern
ment out Of one cent of the taxes
which it could rightfully demand
of him. Viewing this denial in
this light, we do not hesitate to say
that Governor Tilden's character
as a citizen long known in profess
sional life in this city entities him
to a verdict of acquittal of the
charges which have been brought
against him. Many of his person
al admirers who differ from him
politically would have been better
satisfied with brief word Of deni-
al under his own signature but it
has been thought best to meet the
several charge with separate an
swers."
The Springfield Republican says:
"The specific charges against his re-
turn for 1862 are broken down,
however the details by which it
was thought to sustain them are
overthrown."
The Philadelphia Time says:
"The answer is a crushing over
throw of Mr.. Tilden's accusers, and
the scandle must recoil upon the
cause of the desperate leaders who
invented it with positive effect"

"MR. EDIToR:-My attention has

IL is stated that at q union meeting

to wait upon me with the request
that / should speak; that, being
called upon by the committee, I
refused to speak, saying that ! had

my views upon any question: OF
public interest from the people OF
Shelby county. Upon all occasions,
when it appeared proper, ! have
expressed my opinions in relation

war commenced have uniformerly
said that the authority OF the gov

maintain that authority, and to give

OF peace restored to our country,
postponing until that time all con-
troversy in relation to the causes
and responsibilities Of the war
No man will feel deeper solicitude
in the welfare and proud bearing
of Indiana's soldiery, in the conflict
of arms to which they are called,
than myself.
"Allow me TO add that, in my
Judgment, a citizen or newspaper
is not serving the country well in
the present crises by attempting to
give a partisan aspect to the war,
or by seeming to pervert the cause

The loyalty Of Samuel J. Tilden
is attested in the fact that every
member of Lincoln's cabinet ex-
cept Cameron are his ardent sup
porters. Nearly all the distin-
guished men most prominent in
the organization Of the Republi-
can party, and who have been
driven from It on account of its
corruption and recklessness in the
expenditure Of the peoples money,
are cordially supporting Mr.. Tilden,
and the change so earnestly desired
by the people.
