THE FOREIGNERS.
Mighty Interesting Reading for
Irtshmcn and Germans.

John NJ. Wilson, of Salem, Massachu-
sets, one OF the leading republicans OF
that state, and a warm supporter OF
HAYES, made a speech at a public meet
ing there, which should be read BY ev-
ery foreigner in the land. If that does
not convince them that the republicans
are in sympathy with Know Nothlngism
pure and simple. nothing can. In The
course of his remarks, Mr.. Wilson SAID I:
lin the heart of the foreigner beats
not one single noble impulse-not one
single throb of patriotism. He is so
british and degraded that he has no
sympathy for anything but cabbage n
lager-beer, potatoes and buttermilk. or
some other abominable, outlandish dish,
only tit for hogs of the street or pen.
s;Some tell me that many foreigners
are intelligent; yes, intelligent. How
in the name of Almighty God a they
say it? Look at the Dutchman smoking
his pipe, and If you a see a ray OF intel
ligence in that dirty. slovenly looking
face of his, show it to me. Look at the
drunken bloated Irishman, with his rot
gut whisky bottle in his pocket, and ne
drunk and swearing and reeiing, and
show ME in that polluted face one spark
of morality, intellect or education Ihe
idea is perfectly absurd-it is prepos-
ferrous.
I'VE must change the laws of the and
and prevent these ignorant paupers
here from voting and holding office. They
are a set of unprinclpled and unworthy
men, who congregate in and around
our large cities and villages, and live by
stealing from the Americans. Would
YOU have the American citizens to stand
back and let a bloated, red visaged,
drunken brute of an Irishman vote In
stead of yourself? See the wretch as
he Apprenticeship knees knocking and
the slobber of tobacco juice n
down his jaws; as he comes you hear
him hurrah for ..Dimocrlcy," and here
he fresh from the boys, Just one
year ago, and wants to vote-and
if he should happen to get knock
ed down for his impudence, a
great cry is made about it by old line
demagogues. 1 say it is right, let them
stand back. Again, you see a lop cared,
wide-mouth, mullet-headed Dutchman
coming up Just from some hut In the
land of Kraut, with the foam of beer still
sticking in his horse-tail whiskers. and
his breath smelling enough of garlic and
onions to kill 4 white nan 800 yards. and
before he can say anything in the world
but democrat" he must vote, and that
vote counts as much as yours or mine.
This is outrageous and abominable.
These foreigners that have carried cleo
lions for old liners. will have to learn
their places. They have no more right
to vote than the brutes of the field, and
have not half the sense Of a good New
Foundland dog and God knows, when

~ SotAAOA
tic medicine hat car be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffed the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
| give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ges and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
~sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
