COMMUNICATED.

Mr. Lewis Mckenzie says that am for
eigner, music teacher, FORMULATING
along tho line of the ". & o. road, who
knows nothing much about the United
States except to bring my foreign notions
owe. here. That Mr. Mckenzie considers
every democratic foreign born citizen of this
country an ignoramus, is evident from the
fact that he called me 6 deluded DutChman
in street car in Washington, and in q SUI
fciently high tone TO draw every body's At
tention to sne. That reminds ma that in the
State Of Oho, where citizens Of my nation
atty generally vote The republican tcket,
the republicans call them "our German fol
low citizens" but when they vote the dem.
ocratc ticket, they are suddenly trans
formed into "jgnoTen! Dutchmen."
Mr. Mckenzie, by mis- personal attack
upon Gen. Lee, bad drawn upon himself a
retaiatory criticism anf has no right to
complain. As ciliz3n Of this country l
claim those equal rights about which his
psrty is so eternaIly bowling, and which 1t
is 30 reluctant to grant to those OF the op
posing political faith What my profession
or my nationality has TO do with my knowl
edge of the history of this country | cannot
see; they certainly do not debar me from
acquiring the Information which every good
citizen needs in order to vote inteiligently,
and l DO not hesitate TO assert that can
give q more intelligent reason for my faith
than he can for his, judging at least from his
speech at Hamilton. Mr.. Mckenzie also
ssys that 1.-The farmers of Loudoun were
much pleased with the able address Of Mr..
Thomas, both while and colored' Now |
should like to ask him whether he means
that Mr.. Thomas wss both white and COL
ored, or whether the address was both white
aud coored? Ignorant Dutchman that l
sm. could have contracted more intel-
ligible Eoglish sentence thBn that, and
cease to wonder why Mr.. Mckenzie lie in
favor OF the Blair educational bill Re.

pared with the provision of the federal Con-
s,itution on the same subj 4ct, it is seen at
once that there Is by no means as much diff

tectionists would have it appear. The fed
eral Constitution declares that Congress
shall have power 10 lay and collect duties
with which to pay the debts and provide for
the common defence and general welfare OF
the Uoited States. Certainly there is no
more in such a provision that warrants q
