Now, in view of this subject, have two /
,oin5 blank words 20 utter, one suggesting /
What foreigners ought to do for us, and the /
ltner waat we ought to do for fore & lerS. I
First, to foreigners. Lay aside all apoio5etia

And how shall Americans ever pay your ma
tive land for what Thomas Cnal ners and
Macintosh aud Robert Burns AMI Christie
pher North and Robert McCheyne and
Candlish and Guthrie have done for
americans! Are you a Frenchman? We
rdnnot forget your Lafayette, who in the
most desperate time of our American revolu-
ton, New ork surrendered and our armies
| lying i'll retreat, eSpoused our cause and at
put all America under eternal oblga-
zion. And we cannot forget the coming to
the rescue o. oar fathers Rochambeau and
his French feet with six thousand armed
men. Are you a German! We have not
forgotten the eleven wounds through which
your Baron De kalb poured ont his life blood
at the head of the Maryland and Delaware
troops III the disastrous battle at Camden, and
after we have namsd our streets AMI our cities
AMI counties after him we have not paid

who come here with honest purposer' Re.
nounce all Obligation to foreign despotS.
Take the oath OF American allegiance. Get
olt your naturalization papers. Don't talk
against our institutions, for the fact
that you came here AMI stay shows
that you like ours better than any o5her. If
you don't like tlen there are steamers going
out of our ports almost every day, and the
fare is cheap and, lest you sho1ld be deta'ns
for parting cvil5ies, l bid You good-by
now But if you like it here. then l charge
you, at the ballot box, in legislative
hall, in churches AMI everywhere be
out and out Americans. Do not try
to establish here the loose foreign Sab
oaths or transcendentalism spun into a re-
!igion of mush and moonShine, or foreign
hoertinism or that condensation of all thiev-
cry, scoundre.ism, lust, murder and perdi-
ton which in Russia is called Nihilism and
in France called Communism aud in America
called Anarchism. Unite with US in making
by the grace of God the fifteen million square
miles of America on both sides the Isthmus
of Panama the paradise of virtue and re-
hgion.
Ny other word suggests what Americans
ought 10 do for foreigners. By all posi-
BILE means explain to them our institutions.
Coming here, the vast ma jority of them know
about much concerning Republican or
Democratic form of government as you in
the United States know about politics of
Denmark or France or Italy or Swift
